Line 19:
Due to the expiration of its copyright, the film has fallen into the public domain, so check it out (either at [https://archive.org/details/Plan_9_from_Outer_Space_1959 the Internet Archive] or [http://www.spike.com/video/plan-9-from-outer/2831785 Spike.com]) and decide for yourself if this movie deserves its [[So Bad It's Good|reputation]].
 
Two remakes are being made [[Milestone Celebration|in honor of the film's 50th anniversary]], and they are very different. One, produced by Drunkenflesh Films, will be known as ''Grave Robbers from Outer Space'', and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o93o0-_7Tvc aims to be a dark and modernized version, but low-budget like the original] and released direct-to-video in time for Halloween. Another, produced by Darkstone Entertainment, is simply called ''Plan 9'' -- based—based on the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJh-gdpJxJo trailer], with [[The Angry Video Game Nerd|James Rolfe in the cast]]. It looks to be the movie Ed Wood had in his head..
 
Due to [[Small Reference Pools]], ''[['''Plan 9 from Outer Space]]''''' is frequently used as a shorthand for "really bad movie", especially by film critics. For example, a movie review might read "''Good Movie'' is ''Plan Nine'' compared to ''Excellent Movie''."
 
Also see ''[[Manos: The Hands of Fate]]'', ''[[The Room]]'', ''[[Troll 2]]'' and ''[[Birdemic]]'' for some of ''Plan Nine'''s biggest competitors for Worst Movie Ever. Contrast with ''[[Citizen Kane]]'' (though [[Tim Burton]] actually dared to ''compare'' ''Plan 9'' with ''Citizen Kane'' in ''[[Ed Wood (film)|Ed Wood]]''.)
Line 63:
* [[Hollywood Darkness]]: Done erratically, to the point day switches to night and vice versa from shot to shot.
* [[Human Aliens]]
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: The humans respond to Eros's warnings about the dangers of creating a "solaranite bomb" by starting a fight and destroying his space ship.
* [[Humans Are Morons]]: "Because all you of earth are ''idiots''!"
* [[Idiot Ball]]: Practically everyone, to the point of [[Idiot Plot]].
