Plan 9 from Outer Space/YMMV

• Designated Hero: Jeff. Honestly, he could be considered the villain.
• So Bad It's Good, apparently enough to have an operating system named after it. And a video game, and a label company, and three bands, and some other stuff.
  • Penn Jillette has declared that Plan 9 is not a bad movie because its message is relevant. He claims the worst movie ever made is The Big Chill.
• Special Effect Failure: The tombstones wobble when people hit them. Also, the flying saucers which are square when they land and are visibly suspended from strings.
• Straw Man Has a Point: If, and only if, such a device were plausible - then these visiting aliens would have a good point in trying to prevent it from being built. They really need to work on their methods though...
• Tear Jerker: You wouldn't think this film would have any, but if you've seen the film Ed Wood, then the scene with Lugosi outside his house will likely be this for you. The narration about the old man leaving "never to return" just makes it worse.
• They Just Didn't Care:
  • Watch the black police car closely every time it approaches the graveyard. It's a 1957 Ford heading up the road, a 1955 Ford when it arrives on set.
  • The red lights appear and dissapear depending what set the cars are on.
  • The flying saucer, which is described as "cigar-shaped", that becomes a squared-off storage shed thing when it lands.
    • To be fair, Ed Wood had No Budget.
• Woolseyism: The fact that some subtitled versions have better writing than the actual movie is less of a show of the translators' skills and more damning evidence of the movie's own ineptitude. Just being able to truncate the redundant dialogue and make some phrases sound much more natural is an improvement already.
