The story of a man who wouldn't let anything... Not even a lack of talent... Get in the way of his dream...
And on that regard he was unironically admirable and inspiring! 👍
My mother was an associate producer on “Bride of the Monster”. I remember as a kid seeing an original script with all of the production notes on it. It was titled “Bride of the Atom”. My mother first met Ed Wood at a New York typing contest. My mom could type 180 WPM on an old fashioned typewriter but she came in second to Ed Wood who could type 210 WPM. She said that he got into script writing because he could knock out a script in no time. She also said that she never saw him cross dress on set. She enjoyed mimicking Bela as to how he would call her “Rita darling”.
ha that's great
Thanks for sharing that. Very cool!
That's very cool! And that's amazing 210! No wonder he had so many scripts lying around Hollywood.
That was a good read. Thank you for that.
This story had me in tears
Not only my favorite Tim Burton film, it's also my favorite Johnny Depp film.
BTW Martin Landau's daughter Juliet played the actress that Ed thought was going to finance the movie. Juliet is probably best known for her role as Drusilla on the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
She was also cast as the vampire Hester, for the web series Vampire: The Masquerade - LA by Night. Her character was part a cabal of Tremere, vampires that can do blood sorcery, called the Wyrd Sisters.
Here's a bit:
th-cam.com/video/zehrOushX4M/w-d-xo.html
Same Here
Both of those things are true of me, too. It’s always a very enjoyable watch.
Same.😆
Vampira's lawsuit failed because she and Elvira were both doing slight variations of a character from the popular Charles Addams cartoon strip running in "the New Yorker" since the 1930s. When adapted for television in 1964 the character was given the name "Morticia Addams".
In real life Lugosi and Karloff were very friendly and respectful of each other. On Son of Frankenstein Lugosi had a very bad pay deal. Karloff who was a founder of the actors union lobbied that Bela got better money. The result was one of Bela's best performances on film.
I love how the daughter of the actor who played the actor who played the most famous vampire ended up playing a vampire herself.
I remember seeing Bill Murray say "sure" in the baptism scene in the trailer. I was sold from that point on. Another highlight for me was seeing Vampira take the city bus.
Also, if someone else didn't mention it below, there was an interview with Dolores about the film. She spoke highly of Johnny Depp, but didn't really approve of all the language either. She also didn't care for Horse Face and her approach to the role.
Most people at the time just didn't swear very much. This is something that most writers of period pieces overlook.
I suggest having a quick glance at Bela Lugosi's life story, because it's fascinating. Born in 1882, he was a successful stage and screen actor in his native Hungary, but because of his association with the short-lived Communist government of 1919 he was forced to flee the country. He ended up in the U.S with almost no English, having to start from zero while aged in his late 30s. He was 49 when he made the movie Dracula (after starring in the play version four years earlier).
I liked this movie so much, I sent Martin Landau an epic homemade birthday card (it was coming up in about a week or so), a letter telling how much I loved his performance in this movie and just how great the other actors were too, and two 8x10s to sign. It was about two and a half years later, but he signed the two photos. On the one from Ed Wood (the scene were he and Depp were doing the double jointed hand thing) and he wrote 'Thanks for the kind words!!!"
Funny story- the real Dolores Fuller (Sarah Jessica Parker’s character) had a partial estate sale back in late 2000s (she hadn’t passed yet). A audio techie bought her 1/4” reel to reel tape machine and sold it to me for my transfer biz. Great condition and still works like a charm.
Thanks for watching my favourite Tim Burton movie! Pull the strings!
This movie is hilarious and touching at the same time. Johnny Depp, Bill Murray and Martin Landau were excellent. The look and atmosphere were pretty realistic. The actress that declared, No Water, No Liquids!, is Martin Landau’s daughter Juliet. Juliet Landau played the kooky vampire Drusilla, on Buffy The Vampire Slayer, the tv show.
I have to rewatch it again soon. Great reaction! ❤️❤️
Juliet is a trip to meet in person. Met her at a con years ago and she's not only funny but just as quirky as the characters she plays.
I think my favorite scene is the Orson Welles one. You have the writer/director of one of the best (if not the best) movies of all time and the writer/director of one of the worst (if not the worst) movies of all time, discussing about vision and creativity, as if they are on the same level, as equals, and for a moment, they are. To me this is Burton's best film, no contest, and I actually love his early work.
Doesn't hurt that Welles's voice in that scene...is Brain from Animaniacs!
@@gggooding Yep.
@@fortminor85 I think you mean "YYESS!"
That simple "okay" in the spook house is one of the most romantic things I've ever seen in a movie.
My sister was a master at finding quirky and interesting movies for us to watch when we were younger. I had no idea what I was going to watch when we saw this in the theatres, but we absolutely loved it. I was still a teen and knew only Burton's Batman movies and Edward Scissorhands. But this, this was completely different and utterly great. Still love this movie and I'm very sorry more people still don't know about it.
LOVED this reaction! I wept right along with you, you got me! :D This was when Johnny Depp was on a roll. Ed Wood, Donnie Brasco, Fear & Loathing.....all very different performances. My fave Tim Burton movie by far.
Enlisted in the US Marine Corps in May of 1943. His claims to have worn women's underwear beneath his uniform in battle never seemed to distract him from his duty: In addition to taking part in combat in the Marshall Islands and Noumea, he also survived the bloody battle for Tarawa. By all accounts he was fierce in combat. During the invasion he had most of his front teeth knocked out in hand-to-hand combat with a Japanese soldier he eventually killed. Wood later served in a G-2 (intelligence) unit in the South Pacific until he was shot in the legs by a Japanese machine-gunner. The wounds became gangrenous and he served out the remainder of his time as an office typist, and was honorably discharged in 1944. He was awarded the Silver and Bronze Stars, two Purple Hearts and a Sharpshooter's Medal. By all accounts, Wood was an exemplary combat marine.
His first wife, Norma McCarty, kicked him out of their house on their wedding night when she discovered he was wearing women's underwear. The marriage was never consummated, serving as grounds for an annulment less than four months later.
Wow, someone should make a movie about this guy!
Tim Burton made a high quality Ed Wood film. That seems like a contradiction, something Ed Wood himself could never do, but it's still so true to his spirit that it works.
No kidding, I use "You see, you see, your stupid mind..." line as my ringtone for over 15 years, any time people around me curious about what it is, I recommends them Plan 9.
My friend Jim Myers (aka Professional Wrestler George "The Animal" Steele) looked so much like Plan 9 Actor Tor Johnson that he was hired to do the Ed Wood movie. While Jim was a bad guy (heel) during most of his Wrestling career he was actually a well educated, very intellengent guy and a very nice man. Jim loved making this movie and became friendss with both Depp and Landau.. For most of his Wrestling career Jim only Wrestled on Holidays and during the Summer. He was a Physical Education Teacher and Football Coach at a High School in Detroit,. Eventually his Wrestling salary so far suppased his Teaching salary he quit Teaching to become a full time Wrestler. Geeoge Steele (Jim's alter ego) is in all of the Wrestling Hall of Fames (including the WWE) and became a huge star.
Woooooow! 😮
That's so cool! I love learning stuff like this!
In one of his routines, Lenny Bruce mentioned that Bela Lugosi was the worst advertisement for rehab. He was a dope fiend for years, cleaned up then dropped dead.
Former WWF superstar George "The Animal" Steele played Tor Johnson.
This is a movie that deserves every reaction. I love this movie so much.
Please watch the hilarious Ed Wood classic, "Bride of the Monster." This is the one where Bela fights the octopus. NOT to be missed!
One of my favourite movies. Made with love and just the correct amount of quirkiness. Excellent reaction too.
"You must be double-jointed. And you must be Hungarian," gets me every time.
So glad you watched and 'got' this film. This came out just as I was getting into MST3K and cult films, and I was so ready for it. Actually saw it on the night of the premiere, I believe (and got an oversized Ed Wood t-shirt that lasted quite awhile). It's so sweet and sympathetic to the human condition, and it's likely Johnny Depp and Tim Burton's finest hour (and of course Martin Landau is amazing).
This movie came into town under the radar, I happened to see a mention about it in a magazine and when I saw it was playing at the local multiplex I went to see it. The theater was empty. I sat in the center of the front row by myself with popcorn and a drink and as soon as the opening credits began I was hooked.
The next day I went out and bought the sound track. I still have that cassette.
This is by far Tim Burton's best film.
I prefer Big Fish
Martin Landau (Bela Lugusi in this film) is best known for his rules in the TV series "Mission: Impossible" and "Space: 1999", but was largely CRIMINALLY underrated throughout his career. This film was his redemption: he won an Oscar for his performance here.
Not only did Martin Landau win an Oscar, it was considered one of the great upsets (to some)... he beat Samuel L. Jackson for Pulp Fiction
Not really. Landau was the person to beat that year. Not only for his performance, but he came up training at Actor’s Studio with Brando, Newman, and James Dean, so he had the whole legacy thing going for him.
I saw this on TV in my teens, I was more excited to see George The Animal Steele than a majority of the cast in this movie. Met him at a signing before he passed away, really nice guy.
Also, the bartender in Ed Wood was played by Conrad Brooks, who was one of the policemen in Plan 9 from Outer Space!
Now, you have to watch Glen or Glenda, and Bride of the Monster! EdWood will make so much more sense after that!
Yay! My first brand-new episode since I found the channel. Between Matt’s southern charm and the giggles of Emily, it’s been a pleasure going through the backlog. And I almost forgot the Purrfect Pippen!
Buy that woman an angora sweater IMMEDIATELY! Trust me, you will thank me!
The only note I can add is that Ed Wood didn't actually meet Orson Welles.
And Maurice LaMarche was also the voice of Egon from The Real Ghostbusters cartoon.
And The Brain from Pinky and the Brain. I seriously can't hear his voice without thinking of that character. I remember he even voiced Orson Welles several times on The Critic too.
Not that he isn't most famous for "Pinky and the Brain" and "Futurama" but having grown up on it, I am always surprised when someone doesn't mention Maurice LaMarche voicing Egon on "The Real Ghostbusters."
This and Big Fish are tied for the best Tim Burton movies as far as I'm concerned.
Big Fish is a masterpiece
In the 80s, they made a clip movie called "It Came From Hollywood" showcasing many of the 40's, and 50's monster movies with commentary from Gilda Ratner, Dan Aykroyd, and Cheech and Chong. In the middle, John Candy does an expose about Ed Wood which may have been the inspiration for Tim Burton to make this film. 🤔
I think a note y'all missed is that the actress that played Vampira (Lisa Marie) is an ex wife of Tim Burton's. During their marriage, she also worked with Tim on Mars Attacks (1996) and Sleepy Hollow (1999)
One of the great ”meta” things about this movie is that it’s kind of in the style of Ed Wood, but as it would’ve been if he was actually good at making films. 🙂
Even though Bela's opinion of Boris Karloff was inaccurate (and his cursing), the outburst is just too funny for me to be bothered by it. Also I felt bad for Vincent D'Onofrio, that he spent time trying to sound as much like Orson Wells as possible, only to be dubbed over. But it was Maurice Lamarche doing the voice, so that part is amusing. "Oh, what luck! There's a French fry in my beard!"
I dunno. The dub is so obvious, I'd rather Vincent had used his own voice.
I can't hear Lamarche's voice without hearing The Brain.
You talk about how much more you appreciate plan nine after watching this, and as soon as I saw the scene where Bella is wrestling the octopus in the water I remembered seeing that movie in my youth and it just blew my mind. Martin landau is amazing in this but Johnny Depp as well ... Such a great movie.
Proudly saw this one in the theaters back in the fall of 1994. My Favorite Burton film (and every film that Burton has done since is either existing IP or a book adaptation)
Everybody and their cousin said Landau deserved the Oscar for this, and with good reason.
In my opinion Ed Wood is Tim Burton's best film. Love this film. Great reaction! If you want to see one of Bela Lugosi's best roles then you need to watch "Son of Frankenstein" (1939). Bela's performance as Ygor is iconic.
This is definitely one of the best Tim Burton movies. Burton specializes in weird and these were all weird people so he was right at home making a movie about them.
In retrospect, this is probably Tim Burton's best film and the best looking one.
Also, Martin Landau won an Oscar for his portrayal of Bela Lugosi in this film and his daughter Juliet Landau who played Drusilla in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" TV series is in this film as well.
I'd say Big Fish comes close
Aaaaaaaah I'm so happy you guys did this one, Ed Wood is in my top 5 of all time, my favourite Burton and Depp film!
As somebody who grew up making shitty films as a teen and continues to study cinema as a grownup, this movie really hits close to home, a huge inspiration to all us creative cinematic weirdos 🖤
Love this film. It’s my favorite Tim Burton film, and I loved your reaction. Thanks!
As a movie buff this is one of my favorite movies
I knew the Actor/Professional Wrestler George "The Animal" Steele (aka Jim Myers) who played Tor Johnson in the movie. He had a fun time making the movie. He and Tor Johnson looked exactly alike. They even sold Tor Johnson Masks as George Steele Masks at Wrestling shows.
As a percussionist, I have to say - with a clap that fast (@27:40 ish), you should try your hand (pun intended.. and achieved) at classical Spanish Flamenco.
17:23 I have reason to believe that this investor here is played by Gregory Walcott, who played Jeff the pilot in the actual Plan 9 From Outer Space
One of the few experienced actors in Plan 9.
Yes, Finally One Of My All Time Favorite Movie's,Love Your Reactions To This Great Classic Movie Emily
Not enough reactions to this masterpiece. Thanks
You guys need to check out Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein. Bela Legosi in his prime.
Bill Murray's "Sure." is iconic.
Martin Landau was in a really cool science fiction tv series called "Space 1999" (along with his wife Barbara Bain) in the 1970's, do give it a try!
Can't wait for this review. This is one of my favorite bizarro "what the hell am I watching!?" movies! A cult classic about cult classics!
"Heheh, tiddy."
"I knew it."
I keep coming back for precisely this type of quality content.😂
A 16mm print of Ed Wood's lost film, The Young Marrieds were found in Vancouver Canada in 2007, and restored and released on video.
I knew you would love this one. They did a great job replicating the bad quality of Ed's movies. You should really react to Glen or Glenda and Bride of the Monster. They are masterpieces of ineptitude.
The obvious Bela movie is Dracula, but some other great ones are The Black Cat, Son of Frankenstein, White Zombie, Murders in the Rue Morgue, and The Island of Lost Souls.
Dracula, The Black Cat (with Karloff), The Body Snatcher (again with Karloff), and maybe Island of Lost Souls as well, would be my recommendations. I think Glen Or Glenda and Bride of the Monster also count as legitimately great Lugosi performances.
I think Glen or Glenda is actually a very touching movie and was way ahead of it's time in addressing people who are looked down upon for being themselves. As for Bela Lugosi, I watched a bunch of his horror movies in the 70's as a kid on Sunday afternoon tv when they used to air old genre movies. I saw this Ed Wood movie in theater and loved it. It really moved me that one of the biggest movie stars in the world in the 30s fell so low in his old age. His foul mouth also had me cracking up. I had watched several movies by Ed Wood before this biopic and found it great that they accurately simulated exact scenes from the movies including the "pull the string" scene with stock footage of buffalo and Bela admiring the flowers. I didn't know that was the last scene he filmed so it was even more emotional finding out.
To the Lugosi suggestions that have already been made, I will add three more: *The Raven* (1935), which again teams him with Karloff; *The Devil Bat* (1940), and the closest thing to a real *Dracula* sequel that Bela was ever permitted to make, *Return of the Vampire* (1943).
Best movie of Tim Burton, love it!.
Is Patricia Arquette *ever* _not_ an angel? This, True Romance, Little Nicky, Human Nature, Severance, Bringing Out the Dead, Lost Highway...
wait...
George "the animal" Steele was probably my favorite WWF wrestler of the '80s. His character was just so crazy and fun. Junk Yard Dog getting George the animal to dance and then George the animal getting a brain boost from a device to become more intelligent. The greatest part is George the animal falling for Macho Man's girl, Miss Elizabeth and the battle for her.
Back in the day, some wrestlers had day jobs. George was one of those guys. He was a teacher. That fact, to me anyway, makes his character so much better because he was so believable as a monster….
@@jimhashbrowns3874 And he kept it a complete secret, which never would have been possible in the age of the Internet.
@@jimhashbrowns3874 Yep. I remember being 13/14/15 and chatting with my younger sister as we watched George and Kamala the Ugandan Head Hunter and wondering if either of these guys were real. I sure enjoyed watching them.
The Hungarian in me has to point out that Bela is pronounced BAY-lah. My grandmother would want me to point that out. Martin Landau actually does pronounce it correctly in the film.
I hope "Ed Wood" inspired you to check out Lugosi's Dracula or Karloff's "Bride of Frankenstein" or the original "King Kong". These are classic iconic horror flicks. There is also an atrociously bad horror flick from the 1930's, that Ed Wood would've absolutely loved, called "Maniac". Miraculously, it got past Hays Code censors with its nudity, bad acting and bizarre scenes. A one-of-a-kind, weird, schlock horror film for it's time!
Pull da string PULL DA STRING!!!!
I own plan 9 on dvd, even met one of the cops from the movie. He signed it along with a double feature of movies he did
What makes this work so well, I think, is that they didn't let the truth stand in the way of a great story. It was a beautiful love letter to Ed Wood, Bela Lugosi, Vampira, Tor Johnson, Criswell and Bunny Breckinridge.
Other great non documentaries with some to less facts behind them:
Shadow of the Vampire (2000) - Max Schreck, star of Nosferatu was an actual vampire. (Watch Nosferatu (1922) first.)
RKO 281 (1999) - Why Citizen Kane almost destroyed Orson Welles rather than launching his career. (Watch Citizen Kane (1941) first.)
Forgotten Silver (1995) - Peter Jackson uncovers the life and career of forgotten pioneer of international cinema, Colin McKenzie.
Love this movie! Not only Mr. Depp and Mr. Murray but also Martin and Juliet Landau. Martin Landau totally deserved his Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, thanks to Tim Burton for giving him the part.
21:28: Please Ed stop!! 🤣🤣
In my top 5 movies of all time! 🥰🥰🥰
The Invisible Ray is actually pretty dope
Oh the irony of making a good movie about someone known for making truly terrible films!!
This movie is a masterpiece, plain and simple.
****/****
Bride of the Monster is a must-watch, now that you’ve seen how it was made. The Mystery Science Theater 3000 version, if you can find it.
Vincent Price helped Burton make his animation graduation from film school, he narrated it in rhyme. Having seen this movie I can understand how Burton felt. We laughed and cried together again, thanks for being here, love you guys
I love that little film. For some reason my kids don't. I feel I've failed them somewhere.
Have you guys considered watching any of John Waters' films?
The exterior of the Plan 9 premier was the Pantages, but the interior was the Tower Theater, downtown... it's now an Apple Store.😢
The actress that Ed thought would pay the money is Juliet Landau (Martin Landau's daughter). Buffy fans know her best as Drusilla
What a GREAT inside joke for Rance Howard to deliver. "I got a son. Little slow, but a good boy, and somethin' tells me he'd make a helluva leadin' man."
Though which son do you think he was talking about?
@@jtilton5 LOL! Either works. He always gets the best lines.
"You're ruined! Everyone's gonna know
you left me dry. You're finished, a ghost."
"How'd you like bananas at cost?"
"Deal!"
Tim Burton's masterpiece in my opinion.
You two seriously need to react to ‘See No Evil, Hear No Evil’ if you haven’t seen it you will love it!
For your next Ed Wood film I would be interested in seeing one of his "Monster Nudie Films" I'm sure they're Terrible!
Orgy Of The Dead is the main one. Softcore, no sex scenes. Starring Criswell!
@@themoviedealers lol that sounds like a MUST SEE FILM!!!
Wonderful film. Definitely my favourite Burton movie. Saw it on original release and loved it ever since.
While I am glad you finally watched this one Em, I wish it was on the Live Watch Along so we could watch it with you. Still a GREAT movie!
Now you have to see GLEN OR GLENDA, for a review. It is the alcoholic version of the Christine Jorgenson , story/movie, released just in time to take full advantage of the hit to the groin experienced by all men upon learning of the tale...
Woods wrote 'The Violent Years" an excellent bad movie. It was Mistied and luckily, I have it on VHS, still!
Elvira was proud to loose the suit and never denied that she ripped off the idea in tribute.
For another film about filmmaking, check out Robert Altman's "The Player." For more about Ed Wood, read his biography, "Look Back in Angora."
This is my favorite Tim Burton movie, my favorite Johnny Depp movie (tied with Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas), and far and away my favorite Ed Wood movie.
I just noticed that one of the "potential backers" was played by Gregory Walcott, in fact his final film role. Who was he? Why, the hero of the original Plan 9 movie! Wish I could see which backer it was....
bela lugosi an absolute perfectionist never forgot a line.
Edward Scissorhands is my favorite Tim Burton film. This is a close second.
Martin Landau stole the show in this one.
Brilliant movie about a very interesting man, who made... "interesting big picture" movies. :)
I FUCKING KNEW THAT WAS BRAIN
DAMN, He sounded exactly like him (or at least in the 90%)
#title "The Dish" (2000), an Aussie film I haven't seen anyone on TH-cam react to yet. Matthew needs more Australian slang to add to his arsenal!
Wanted to recommend this before I forgot but is snowpiercer on the list? Its an excellent movie that i think deserves a watch
This is probably Tim Burton's finest hour and sadly one of his least appreciated films.
It amuses me that despite making the film look as bad as possible it still cost more than all of Ed Wood's films.
