Summary: What a great, awful movie......
Review: When I was a child I asked my father, an avid movie fan, what was the worst movie he's ever seen. Without even pausing he said 'Plan 9'. He told me of a director name Ed Wood, who has long been known as the worst director ever.
Years later I had the plesure of seeing this film for my self, I now own it.
The movie opens with Criswell, a wildly inacurate physcic, giving the world one of the most insane line ever "We are all interested in the future for that is where we will be spending the rest of our lives." right then I knew this wasn't going to be just another bad film.
From there the movie gets even worse.
The main thrust of the fil is that aliens from another planet are comming to this planet to try and stop us from developing a bomb that could cause the worlds, and the universe's destruction. The premis of the film is an interseting one. Much like The Day The Earth Stood Still was about aliens trying to save us from ourselves. However that movie didn't have such amazing actors like, Vampira, Tor Johnson and Dudley Manlove the worst overactor I have ever witnessed. This movie also has police leaving in one car and showing up in another, wobbling grave stones, and paper plate spaceships.
One of the biggest selling points of this film was that it was Bela Logusi's last film. Ed Wood had only a few shots of Bela but that didn't stop him from giving him top billing. And considering that most of the shots that had Bela in them made almost no sense in the film so he had a doctor, with a full head of hair and a good foot taller than Bela, stand in for him by putting a care in front of his face.
This movie is the typical 'it's so bad it's good' film. Every time you watch it you find more mistakes and see things that you missed.
This is the movie that people look at when people talk about Ed Wood. This is most likely the worst film ever made and for that Wood will live forever.P.S. Rent the movie ED WOOD By Tim Burton with Johnny Deep as Wood and Martin Landau (who recived and oscar for the role) as Bela Lugosi.

Summary: Be wary of which version you buy!!!
Review: To my knowledge, there are two different releases of "Plan 9" out there, and choosing the right one can make all the difference in the world. The release from Image Entertainment, which includes the 110-minute documentary "Flying Saucers Over Hollywood" is THE version to purchase. I would not recommend the other, Passport Video's release that includes the 40-minute documentary "The Ed Wood Story." Firstly, the film itself has a much better presentation in the Image version; a cleaner print with better audio and, unlike Passport Video, there is no company logo on-screen throughout the film! Both releases give you the classic "Plan 9" trailers. However, only the Image release gives you the truly wonderful documentary "Flying Saucers Over Hollywood." A heartfelt, low budget look at the making of this anti-masterpiece, this special is longer than the film itself and overs amazing insight into society's continuing fascination with the "worst movie ever made." Passport's doc, "The Ed Wood Story," is a shoddy rehash of publicity material for the Johnny Depp movie and overs little substance. Believe me--choosing the right DVD version makes ALL the difference. And as far as buying "Plan 9" at all? Well, you simply must... because it is a classic, and you'll find yourself quoting its insipid dialogue for weeks on end. Since purcahsing it a year ago, I have probably watched it at least four full times. It never gets stale because there's always something new to laugh at. Watch it alone, then watch it with friends... work up a routine... entertain at parties. Ed Wood would be proud.

Summary: Listen Up
Review: While the movie is obviously bad, it is also incredibly funny and just entertaining to watch. However, I have to point out some things that are still said by people and reviewers. Yes, this is supposed to be the worst movie ever made. What is ridiculous are people and reviewers who write reviews spouting this and condemning it. Bad movie?. Of course it is!. That's why it's famous. That's why it loved by people. Don't go and write a review saying what trip it is. Everyone has known this for the last 40 some years. Why do you think people see it?. What do you think most people say about it and already know about it?. We know this, so keep your snide remarks to yourself because they were already dated since the 50's.

Summary: If Seinfeld HAD to see it....
Review: The only place I had even heard about Plan 9 was from an old episode of Seinfeld where Jerry, Elaine, and George are trying to eat dinner at a Chinese restaurant so they would catch this movie in time (quoting Jerry: "It's not plans 1through 8 from outer space. This is plan 9! This is the one that worked! The WORSE movie EVER made!" And now that I've actually seen this movie....it DOES work, and it IS the worst movie ever made. Ed Wood's vision of the ultimate alien vendetta against Earth is hilarious! Plan 9 is possibly the worst movie ever made but only if you try to take it seriously. If you don't, you will definitely get a good evening's entertainment! Who could forget these classic lines: Captain: ....what could they want? what could be the reason for their visit?
Private: Visit? Why, that would mean visitors. OR Pilot: (talking about a solar energy bomb) What would be wrong with that? That would make us an even more powerful nation than ever. Alien #1: You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid....stupid! With writing like that, you are just asking for oodles of laughs and pure amazement of how this movie could be so good at being so bad. A must see!

Summary: See? Your Stupid Stupid Minds!
Review: Okay, so eveyone has heard of Ed Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space and they should all have heard that people often consider this to be the worst movie of all time. As far as I can see, it is not that bad. I will go as far as saying it is brilliant - in a comedic sense of course. I have seen films that are a whole lot worse than Plan 9 From Outer Space. The Christmas classic "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" comes to mind. What makes Plan 9 such a classic (and Ed Wood's WORSE films lesser known) is that it is an excellent example of a film where everything that could have possibly gone wrong did go wrong. Firstly, the funding for the film came from some goodly Christians who wanted to make some biblical films. In true Ed Wood style, he conned them into funding a film to do with aliens and a ridiculous plan to wake up zombies. Then he decided that some old stock footage of his long time collaborator Bela Legosi would make it an excellent chance for fans to see Bela Legosi's 'last' film. Then things just get more and more ridiculous. Ed Wood gets a stand-in for Bela who covers his face unconvincingly to make the audience believe it is indeed Bela Legosi. An all-star cast including Tor Johnson, Vampira and Criswell bring new lows to acting. Ed Wood's script writing is at it best here. Watch as the aliens reason with the rather foolish humans. Watch in complete disbelief as the sets shake and cardboard gravestones fall over. laugh yourself silly as you day/night continuity gets worse and worse. Shake your head in complete horror at the broomstick and barstool that is supposed to be the cockpit of a plane. Besides the flaws, this film does have an almost literary quality about it; Ed Wood attempts to try and give us a message behind the story. It is a message of peace; a humble attempt at stopping the creation of weapons of mass destruction. I think in the uncertain times of the early 21st Century, this is a message that is more relevant today than it was then. Besides, there is not more entertaining way to discuss the topic! Worth 9 stars!

Summary: Ed Wood, I thank you.
Review: This movie is just so.... great. The cheap sets, the "army" of three Zombies. There is really no plot to mention. There is something about a super weapon, the universe exploding, etc.
Just see it, it's just soooooo good. I'll leave you with a quote from the movie: "You are stupid! Stupid! Stupi..thats enough buster" Slap!!!!!!

Summary: Fun to watch!
Review: I finally saw the so called "worst movie ever made". And I have to say that I was more enterained by this movie then the movie "Signs" with Mel Gibson, which I had just seen the week before. Plan 9 is very entertaining to watch...... it was entertaining and funny in so many parts and yet it delivers a message without taking itself too seriously. For being labled as the worst movie every made..... it sure has become very famous...... famous enough that everyone seems to remember its title....and yet...does anyone care to try and remember the title of the "best movie ever made". I have already watched it a second time.....and it is definately one of those movies that you say to your friends....."you have got to watch this". I love the flying saucer on fire..... I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. I am glad to have it in my DVD collection of B movies!!

Review: Since there isn't really a note-worthy plot, it would be useless to waste time trying to describe it. All there is to say, really, is: SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT!

Summary: What plan?
Review: This is said to be the worst film ever made. Those of you buying this film, without realisng this fact are in for a shock. There's whole web-sites dedicated to this turkey that's so bad, it's got cult status. There was one site that listed all the faults in this film (and there's hundreds); such as people get into a car and it's daytime, you see them drive along and it's night, and when they get out, it's daytime again. Either they had no one checking continuity or that's one hell of a long drive! The special FX are terrible, as are the sets... the interior of the space-ship has a curtain for a door, and a desk for a control console. The plot? Aliens come to earth to resurect the undead. Bela Lugosi has a small role in this (I think he died during the making of it). Anyway, I bought this as a tape, brand new for only ..., so if you really want it, don't pay so much! I bought it, just to see what all the fuss was about. I gave the tape away.
