Plan 9 from Outer Space (60th Anniversary) the Ed Wood Classic - Rental Reviews

Plan 9 from Outer Space is celebrating it's 60th Anniversary, so we decided to do a review! It's also the one year anniversary of Rental Reviews, so we went back to our original four person style. Plan 9 is Ed Wood's most popular film from 1959, that most people consider the worst movie ever made.
Special thanks to Kat Hunter for the Stabbing Eyeball cake!
Thanks to Barnhouse Collective for the Stallone T2 standee!

Stick around to the end of the video for a special surprise. It's the 60th anniversary of Plan 9 from Outer Space, but it's also the 1-year anniversary of Rental Reviews. Special thanks to Kat Hunter for the cake and Barnhouse Collective & Lee Thompson for the T2 standee! Thanks for watching.

Ed Wood was the prime example of "all of the passion, none of the talent." It's sad how many times we see the reverse.

[@ftsces]

he had talent.

[@TwiddleFingersDB]

@@ftsces All the passion, all the talent, none the money

[@TheSP33DFREAK]

It is quite a sad story when you realize that he died a penniless, depressed alcoholic. When he was dying he actually yelled out "I can't breathe", but his wife ignored his pleas because she was tired of him bossing her around. It really is a tragic story.

[@GoodmansGhost]

@@TheSP33DFREAK Not to also forget that he had to turn to directing pornos in those latter days of his life because he couldn't get other movies funded.

[@z3r0_35]

Oh he had talent too. What he lacked was the budget.

[@PepsiMan666]

You can really tell from James' enthusiasm that James has such a genuine love and admiration for Plan 9 and Ed Wood.

[@IsmailofeRegime]

Yeah, and it makes sense given James himself is an independent filmmaker and has been since childhood. To most people Ed Wood is just "that guy who made bad movies in the 50s," but his story actually is pretty inspirational for anyone wanting to make movies with very limited means.

[@xmaverickhunterkx]

Yeah, but the other guys don't get it.

[@Curlyheart]

Looking at Mike in that intro, clearly on the brink of cracking up, i have to ask: How many takes did you guys need to get that shot in the can? :D

[@toonbat]

Obviously one. With James shouting "Cut! That was perfect!" afterwards.

[@BoneJaver3000studios]

1994 was a great year for movies. It's hard to really say what film should have won best picture. Forrest Gump was great and deserved the win, but Ed Wood was amazing. Not to mention Pulp Fiction and Shawshank Redemption also came out.

[@MegadetH-ws5tx]

Heavenly Creatures was fantastic as well.

[@MrMusicfan678]

And the actual best picture that year was The Lion King

[@magoomba1954]

[@justineholliday1581]

The Shawshank Redemption definitely deserved the win that year.

[@rimmersbryggeri]

Awards like that are just a huge circle jerk anyway and have no bearing on anything.

[@DrShaym]

As Plinkett pointed out, perhaps the best middle quality movie is Titanic because James Cameron aimed squarely for the middle to make it appeal to everyone, and it worked.

[@gyromurphy]

Dude, Mike nailed that Intro. Every nuanced expression was spot on.

[@Triforce1985]

[@FilmflickerCinema]

You know what? I feel Keiron is underrated. He's my favourite under James. Everything he says is well thought out and he always gives an opposing view to Tony's normal sort of general audience opinion. He's doesn't talk a lot but when he does it's great.

[@arthurbradfield7738]

Happy one year anniversary, guys. Thanks for all your wonderful content.

[@TheSonOfTheDragon]

Edward D. Wood Jr. may not have been a good director but he was definitely passionate about making movies which is why Tim Burton's Ed Wood is one of my favorite movies. Looking into it quite a few of the flaws in his movies weren't his fault, he was just working with what he was given. At the very least it was because of Ed Wood that Bela Lugosi was able to act until the day he died.

[@fuzzywzhe]

Kind of a pity that Ed Wood was born so long ago. You have to wonder what he would do with a modern phone and a 128 GD SD Card, along with a $500 computer.. You can seriously spent $2K and have all the equipment you need to make a full film, cinema quality today. This is the REAL reason that Hollywood is falling apart. They can spend $200 million dollars making a really impressive film, with nonsense plot - but I can find something more enjoyable and interesting on a website. I predict films are dead within 30 years.

[@TheSonOfTheDragon]

@@fuzzywzhe Yes one can only imagine. I mean look at everything James has done, he has a shoestring budget and what he does is better than most movies. Ed Wood probably would have had a successful and celebrated career making and uploading movies and shows to the internet.

[@PirateTruck]

​@@Games_and_Music really? I don't remember it ever being discussed, especially not on rental reviews, but I've watched so many cinemassacre videos who knows. It's a 90s movie based on a video game with Robert Patrick as the cheesy villain AFTER his role in Terminator 2. It should be perfect for these guys.

In high school when I edited a friend's movie, we left in the take which broke someone's parents' car front window after a dummy toss, with cursing as well.
