Line 3:
In 1992, The Constantin Film production company held the film rights to the ''[[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|Fantastic Four]]'' comic book, but they were about to lose said film rights unless they began production by December of that year. Since both the budget and the technology necessary for such a venture were lacking at the time, they instead opted to do a ''very'' low-budget film Produced by [[Roger Corman]] and directed by Oley Sassone; purely as an [[Ashcan Copy]] to maintain the rights, and never released it in theaters, VHS, DVD or any other form. Although a release date was set for 1994 and the cast and crew were told the film would be released, this turned out to be [[Blatant Lies]].
According to some fans and critics who got their hands on the movie (circulated via bootleg video in comic-cons and such) not getting released was the best thing about it. Other viewers exhibit rabid devotion to it and demand its official video release. Most people are unaware that the film even exists.▼

Several professional critics did however express opinions that it is superior to the [[Fantastic Four (2015 film)|2015 film]] made on over 100 times the budget.

Line 29 ⟶ 30:
* [[Large Ham]]: Joseph Culp's performance as [[Dr. Doom]]. Strangely, as the Agony Booth's review notes, Culp actually gives a sinister, understated performance in the early sections of the film, only to go batshit insane about half an hour in.
** Which is absolutely right for Doom.
* [[Lost Episode]]: Lost ''movie''. Well, it was ''supposed'' to be lost.
* [[Manly Tears]]: Reed starts to
* [[May-December Romance]]: Reed's relationship with Sue should be this, although they don't look that much different in age once she grows up.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: The movie is campy and owes a lot to the [[Batman (TV series)|old Adam West Batman series]] but we still see a surprisingly violent shootout between the Jewler's men and Doom's.
