Regarding the detective's... creative firearm handling skills, according to the IMDB trivia section for Plan 9: "Contrary to popular belief, the detective who points his gun at himself several times did it deliberately. The actor wanted to see if Edward D. Wood Jr. would notice. He didn't."
Fun fact: Inspector Gun Safety was, in fact, acting with his gun hand because he was basically daring Ed Wood to call him on it. He thought, surely, that Wood would call for another shot after seeing that stunt. Wood proved him wrong EVERY time.
I heard the same anecdote too, back before UA-cam. The actor knew that no regular human would be that incredibly inept with a firearm, but he also knew that Wood was the kind of incredibly inept director who might not notice - or care.
@@Amaritudine Ed Wood was notorious (for a number of things, but also) for shooting as little retakes as possible. The actor playing the cop wanted to force him to do a retake, through his blatent display of gun un-safety.
@@hansakkerman2611 Director William "One Shot" Beaudine was known for *really* using the first take all the time. Apparently puts Wood in the shade in that respect.
Plan 9 is the movie that really hammered home for me that if you're going to film a hubcap and pretend it's a flying saucer, then you really need to use more than one piece of string to stabilize it.
Yeah but they were talking about the character, not Lugosi. Why would his character in this film have been buried in a Dracula costume? His character wasn't an actor famous for playing Dracula...as far as we know lol.
More Fun Fax: Officer Kelton mentions "always getting caught up in these spook details" because Plan 9 is actually part of an unofficial trilogy of Ed Wood films (the other two being Bride Of The Monster and, I think, Night Of The Ghouls) which feature him as a minor character.
Why the Solaranite bomb is impossible, as told by the movie's Tvtropes page, under the trope Artistic License - Nuclear Physics: ". . . an explosion is essentially just the rapid transformation (and release) of matter into energy; sunlight is *already a form of energy* (which is why a nuclear explosion releases a blinding flash of light in the first place). It is essentially the same as having a James Bond film where the bad guy's evil plan is to freeze the Antarctic, and everyone treating this as a serious threat."
Of the many, many, MANY, many continuity, effects, acting (etc.) issues in this movie, my favorite is how, in the very first minute, Criswell goes from describing the movie as future events to saying it's based on witness testimony. That's how you KNOW you're in for some so-bad-it's-goodness!!!
I thought it could've worked if he said "This is based on witness testimony that WILL BE MADE." And just kept talking about it like that, but then he didn't.
I was kind of disappointed that they missed my favourite error, where the pilot's wife runs from a graveyard in pitch darkness onto a road that's clearly been shot in daylight and where they apparently couldn't be bothered to use a night-for-day filter...
This was a gloriously terrible film, but the 4 of you were on absolutely fine form this evening. Would love to see another watchalong soon, potentially round Christmas time.
Would of loved to see them enjoy especially Ellen wanting to cuddle fan favourite Gizmo 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 and possibly playfully make fun of Gremlins 😄😃 Though it’s likely too expensive for them to sort out so we can watch along since it’s far from a entertainingly terrible old film that’s public domain ☹️
I have the DVD of this and the title says “Almost” starring Bela Lugosi. 😂. It’s a fantastically bad film and there is also a brilliant documentary to go with it. I’d also suggest now watching Ed Wood as it gives you a really good idea who all these people in the film are. Tor Johnson, Vampira, Criswell etc…(by the way anyone who has played Destroy all Humans will realise it’s Criswell right at the beginning who the announcer is based on) - I haven’t watched this all yet. But I will. Love these watchalongs. We need more of them - may I suggest - The Incredible Shrinking Man (although I wouldn’t want to put Ellen through the Spider scenes) for a future one. 🙂 Watched it now. Brilliantly funny observations, highlights Detective Gun Safety, wicker chairs, “that one field” but my absolute favourite moment was Ellen losing it when the “not Bela Lugosi”vampire turns into a skeleton 😂😂😂
It feels like the main point of this story was that that Eros’s boss hated him and found some busy work he could do and hope he screws it up enough that bad things happen to him.
I'm so glad they did this again. I'm still advocating for The Bat next year. It's in public domain, stars Vincent Price and Agnes Moorehead, and is already up on UA-cam.
I'd absolutely second all of this! I've not seen the film (same with both the others) but it'd be interesting to see Agnes Moorhead in something other than Bewitched. ^_^
Fun fact about the cop with bad gun safety, the actor did this deliberately because he heard Ed Wood doesn't do re-shoots and he wanted to see what he could get away with. As it turned out: everything.
If you’re doing this for Holidays as well, might I suggest the movie “Santa Conquers the Martians”? My family watches it on New Year’s Eve when we’re all up past bedtime and extra giggly. It’s really fun
I'd assume there's two possibilities. Either the first eight plans are plans to contact Earth's leaders to warn of the sun... thing, and that plan nine was "make everyone on earth know aliens are real", or the other eight plans are part of a series of plans to make the existence of aliens completely undeniable.
Watched this live and while I still have no clue what the point of the plan in plan 9 was it was still a better movie then "The brain that wouldn't die" Plus top notch "mystery science theater 3000" commentary.
I have to respectfully disagree. "The Brain that Wouldn't Die" is an actual movie with a plot that you can follow, intelligible dialogue, and competent editing. Plan 9 is.... well, it's special. It's less like a movie, and more like several assorted film strips that were mistakenly taped together. 🤣
Well, the plan was supposed to be something along the lines of 'Raise zombie army, march zombies on capitals of the world, intimidate humans into being more peaceful' , all in order to prevent humanity from eventually destroying the universe with superweapons. The movie just failed to include the zombie army, a functional way to raise said zombie army, a functional way to control said zombie army, a way for said zombie army to be intimidating, and arguably a way to show the humans would actually be intimidated.
14:27 Burbank was suburban ranch country back in those days. Orchards and horses. The biggest businesses in town were Disney and Lockheed before the 60's, a classic case of urban sprawl quickly turning it into the asphalt jungle it is today. Disney is still there, but Lockheed was forced out as all the housing encroachment made it far too dangerous to fly prototype aircraft out of the airport.
I told my roommate about this stream, and since they only came to North America in their teens they hadn't heard of Plan 9 before. I told them it was widely considered "the worst movie of all time", and they asked "Even worse than 'The Room'?" And I realized cinema has made great strides in awfulness since then.
@@hundinger1yeah, it's just like a half step above a BB gun. Typically, it's like if you take a kid hunting, they can use it for squirrels and rabbits and whatnot. My brother and I just did targets.
Underneath the terrible writing, directing, editing and acting, the story does have a certain internal logic: the aliens know humanity's track record of continually inventing more deadly weapons, and fear we'll eventually and inevitably destroy other worlds. They try to make peaceful contact, but our people just respond with denial or violence. The aliens decide to make themselves known with an undeniable, but non-violent, display of their superior technology: a worldwide rising of the dead, something humans can't deny or overlook. They need to hatch their plan in secret, though, so they have to stop anyone who tries to interfere. Logically, that includes sending Zombela Lugosi into an occupied house, then disintegrating his body to create a distraction so great that they can land unnoticed and begin their large-scale reanimation project... OK, the veneer of logic flakes off during that last part, but otherwise there were the makings of a somewhat passable story in there somewhere, buried deep down. Ridiculous movie on every level, but I'm glad to have finally seen it.
I was with you outside of the "nonviolent" part. There was no way the walking dead would have gone off peacefully. Electrodes to the pineal gland hold a crucial weakness: The dead have to have brains for that to work. You could beat these corpses just like any other zombie, by removing the head. People figure that out, it wouldn't be long before the army were putting snipers to use. Especially with these slow walkers.
53:55 "Atmospheric conditions in outer space often interfere with transmitting." Atmospheric conditions? In outer space???? Well, now I can say I've seen Plan 9 From Outer Space.
While OX mentions The X-Files a few times during the stream, a little fun fact is that according to S7E19 ("Hollywood A.D.", written by David Duchovny) Fox Mulder has watched Plan 9 exactly 42 times by the year 2000 (when Scully catches him watching it) because whereas he, like many others, considers it the worst film of all time, it helps his "brain make incredible leaps in logic" and thereby helps him solve difficult cases.
The choosing of “Plan 9” reminds me of that scene from The Simpsons Movie, where President Schwarzenegger is presented with several solutions to the Springfield problem, told to choose one blindly, and it ends up being something ridiculously impractical.
Since no one else has commented on it, a lot of the budget for this movie was provided by a church. Apart from having the entire cast and crew get baptized (which is depicted in the movie Ed Wood) their investment also gave them some editorial control. That's a lot of why Eros keeps jerking back and forth between exhorting humanity to do better and scolding the whole planet for being unworthy.
Scalded my hand earlier this evening and while it's not bad, holding a controller doesn't feel great, so I opted to watch this instead. I'm so glad I did. This was absolutely bonkers. I love the commentary from everyone on it and just how bad this movie is. I need to go watch last year's since I missed that one and haven't got around to seeing it yet. My parents and I do this when we watch Twister. When my sister was at university, every time she came home to visit my parents would put on Twister just to annoy her. Now we rather like it, but we poke fun at the inconsistencies with the roads, the disappearing-reappearing damage to the truck, and everything else. Having now seen Aliens, I now just hear Bill Paxton as Hudson rather than in his roll as Bill.
I've watched this before with my parents and brother. We spent the entire film basically doing what you did. It's about as hilariously bad as Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. The main difference between them is Ed Wood was trying to make a serious movie with this, and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes was deliberately silly. When you defeat your movie monster by broadcasting a song called Puberty Love...you know the film-makers weren't taking the material seriously. So bad...but so good...
You know that guy who was talking about being grabbed by the Army after seeing the UFO sure looks familiar, he looks a lot like the guy who was a reoccurring guest star on Bonanza with "That" Laugh 😅🤔
Great stuff! Surprised this isn't more of a thing on UA-cam. Anyway I plan on doing a similar thing i.e. a watchalong commentary for Stephen King's Storm of the Century.
Working in a cemetery at night. "Did you hear a strange noise?" "Yes" "Me too....bail?" "Bail" I don't know Andy. That seems a perfectly reasonable response to me.
This is one of my absolute favourite films of all time, great watching it along with you but would love to see you watch other Ed Wood films too like Glen or Glenda (pseudo auto-biographical film about Ed Wood's crossdressing) and Jailbait (His attempt at a film noir).
I feel that modern films are too action packed with cuts every nanosecond, but there has to be a happy place between those and this. Vampira's waist is 17" for the curious who haven't time to check. (Get well soon, Luke. I know a few superchats passed without being read out, but we love you)
I love this movie, it's so awful. I was going to suggest they watch The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra next time, but then I looked it up and remembered it was made in 2004 and it's a spoof of movies like Plan 9. Probably not in the public domain lol. Y'all should watch it on your own time though, it's delicious.

Plan 9 is the movie that really hammered home for me that if you're going to film a hubcap and pretend it's a flying saucer, then you really need to use more than one piece of string to stabilize it.
I don't even think it's a hub-cap, it's more like a toy spinning top...
@@Musikur Regardless, I recommend at least three pieces of fishing line!
I love how you guys joked about Bela Lugosi being buried in a Dracula outfit, he was! He family thought he would've wanted it.
Exactly. It was one my favorite “yelling at UA-cam” moments in this scene….

Same. I'm already on my 5th or 6th rewatch of this one.
This does beg the question: if Plan 9 is so horribly bad it's good, how bad were Plans 1-8?
Plan 1 From Outer Space: _Trampoline_
Plan 2: _Build a rocket ship..._
"Why didn't we just do this plan first?"
"We have to fill a half-hour"

I love that Ellen has a Gregg’s chocolate bat.
Reminds me to buy one while I can.
This is one of my absolute favourite films of all time, great watching it along with you but would love to see you watch other Ed Wood films too like Glen or Glenda (pseudo auto-biographical film about Ed Wood's crossdressing) and Jailbait (His attempt at a film noir).
I love that Andy's impression of Eros sounded kinda like a Dalek
So much fun watching this classic of cinema along with my favorite UA-camrs :)
Just think, there are so many much better films that no one has even heard of... it's kind of depressing really...
This movie was clearly made before gun safety was a thing lol where’s my rifle my back itches
I feel that modern films are too action packed with cuts every nanosecond, but there has to be a happy place between those and this.
Vampira's waist is 17" for the curious who haven't time to check.
(Get well soon, Luke. I know a few superchats passed without being read out, but we love you)
56:51 Everything is on our side... except for our enemies!
I always loved Mystery Science Theater 3000 and this reminds of me of that
OMG! This was brilliant beyond words!
I live in Albuquerque. It's fun hearing you guys talking about it.
1:15:47 for the woman in the back corpsing.
"dont ajust your hat with your gun!" ... me in us, rembering the homie doing that last week....
Lol the acting is like being in a drama class at secondary school.
Was Destroy all Humans opening scene based off this?
I’d love to see them do more bad movie watch-alongs. These are hilarious
I love this movie, it's so awful.
I was going to suggest they watch The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra next time, but then I looked it up and remembered it was made in 2004 and it's a spoof of movies like Plan 9. Probably not in the public domain lol. Y'all should watch it on your own time though, it's delicious.
So Manos: Hands of Fate next year similar time?
