The WHOLE MOVIE is there too.

Its officially unreleased status puts it in rarified cinematic company—most films that are finished are distributed in some form. The most famous unseen disaster is surely Jerry Lewis's 1972 Holocaust comedy The Day the Clown Cried, which has been locked away in a vault by Lewis himself, never to be seen by anyone again if he can help it. The Fantastic Four was apparently so awful that it's not in a vault—the original negative was supposedly burned by the rights-holders. Could that mean it's actually worse than The Day the Clown Cried?

Twenty years later, a more complete version of the The Fantastic Four story has slowly been pieced together by geek historians, and its much more complicated than the simple myth of a Fantastic Four movie that was so shitty it had to be literally killed with fire.

Hey thats not Maria Bamford.

 

[injurai]

This is some Arrested Development level shit.

 

[odiin]

Still the best Fantastic Four film ever created.

 

[Nappuccino]

The RedLetterMedia folks watched it and quite liked it. If I remember correctly, you can tell that everyone is trying to make it a good product even though, with it's budget and surrounding issues, it was never going to be one. Because of this, the film has quite a bit of charm and heart.

Holocaust comedy

I don't think those words should be together

I remember that. If i recall, it was made so that the studio could retain the rights.

Wrap it up fellas

 

[Currygan]

I remember about this in some old ass Wiz, but never watched it, thanks OP

 

[fallengorn]

Watched it ages ago. It's what you'd expect from a low-budget superhero movie made in the 90s.

Edit: Someone made a documentary about it? I don't know how necessary that is. Anyone could've found a copy to watch if they knew where to look. At least the doc looks like it was better filmed than the Death of Superman Lives.

 

[Nappuccino]

I mean, I'm sure it's not a good movie. But I don't think it comes near "worst" movie.

It really is. By far the most accurate too. It has its charm in spite of itself.

I rented a view VHS tapes of this when i was a kid at blockbuster back in like the 91-92 and really enjoyed it but i was also a stupid kid and my memory is extremely fuzzy since that was like 25-26 years ago but i think they even did a take on the clone saga in it.

I actually enjoyed the never released Fantastic four movie for what it was and what it was trying to be and all things considered (budget etc). I think there is a documentary or an upcoming documentary about the making of the movie i forgot the name but it's been in development for a long time.

But no one wants to talk about the original live action justice league movie

It wasn't a movie it was a horribly failed pilot that was turned into a "tv movie"

So apparently the Justice League is an armored Atom (inspiration for Arrow?), Poison Ivy (???), Flash (a pretty overweight one too), a Blue Lantern (????), and Killer Frost (??????).

Edit: What's with this "if you know where to look" the fucking thing's on YouTube for god's sake.

 

[Dai101]

Er... i didn't want to straight say where, in case it was seen as promoting digital piracy. Now we're in the NSA list. Thanks ¬¬

From the article

Indeed, Constantin Film, the company formerly known as Neue Constantin Film, which owns the rights to The Fantastic Four, doesn't seem interested in sending takedown notices to the sites that host bootleg versions of the film.

is it wrong I want to watch the 70's Doctor Stragne? Doesn't look that bad

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

But in all seriousness, that sounds like an episode of Arrested Development.

Which is most likely what that arc was based on.

Dude. My brother actually taped that when it aired.

We live in a blessed time where film makers are making great comic movies with respect to the source. The X-men movies are pretty good too.
