This movie is so unbelievably bad it defies description. Has to be seen to be believed. I don't believe that a gifted director, given limitless resources, set out to make a worse film that it could be equalled. Ed Wood Jr. is a genius of Grade Z movies. I am particularly fond of Wood's reality bending use of lighting, particularly where police cars drive up to the cemetary at high noon and the cops stroll among the gravestones seconds later in the very dead of night.

Could be the greatest movie of all time(because it was so bad);Ed Wood proves it.

One of the best worst movies ever!

I'm always told to see this, just to say I've seen the worst film ever made. Well.....not so fast. Ed Wood's ineptness IS laid bare in PLAN NINE, but it has a goofy quality that makes you feel sorry for everything that went into it, and it's that goofiness that elicits the odd smirk, chin-drop, and/or guffaw. Coleman Francis's THE BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS deserves the worst-ever title, as a screening of it should reveal. In the past, I've offered $5.00 to anyone who can sit through the original, un-MSTied version without crying, fidgeting, yawning, or leaving (and I've yet to lose a dime). At least with PLAN NINE, you've got Bela and Tor to laugh at. Circles the bowl, but doesn't entirely pollute the water closet.

As mentioned by others, the cheap props, inane diaglogue, and woefully bad acting make this a classic which is so bad that it achieved cult status even when it was current. For example Bela Lugosi died before the movie was finished and his stand in (the producer's wife's chiropractor) was taller and had blond hair. A policeman gestures with his hand as he talks, even though there is a gun in his hand which eventually is pointed in everyone's face. The flapping gravestone, revolvers that use clips, funerals which take place at 4 am, the burning pie plate flying saucer that wobbles (with support string clearly visible), wind in outer space, and a whining crybaby leader of the plan has sealed Ed Wood's fate in history for being responsible for bringing the world the worst movie ever made. This is the number one cult classic which makes Reefer Madness look like an accurate documentary!

One of the funniest movies ever made, with the pie-plate flying saucer, the cardboard gravestones that flap in the breeze, the stand-in for Bela Lugosi who holds a cape in front of his face so you can't see who it is. You have to see it to believe how bad it is.

The flying pie plate will always be one of my favorite visuals from any movie.

Funny for all the wrong reasons. Still, it's a classic and fun to watch and make fun of - at least once.
