My fave part: the fist cam. I'm thinking of building a prostetic fist that I can hang from my neck so I have FIST CAM ALL THE TIME!!

]]> <![CDATA[The Fantastic Four Movie Marvel Doesn't Want You To See]]> Wow, thank you so much for a clip from this. I've been hunting around for some video from this disaster for a while, and haven't been successful.

So awful...

]]> <![CDATA[The Fantastic Four Movie Marvel Doesn't Want You To See]]> Normally I hate the Human Torch, but I empathize with this one.

I too cannot hit a single bad guy with a fire ball.
And I too have been wanting to take out the destructo ray since I was a kid!

]]> <![CDATA[The Fantastic Four Movie Marvel Doesn't Want You To See]]> the whole movie is just like that clip posted but more boring. If you seek you will find. Or just get it from IRC where it still lingers xdcc form after making it's flash vid and divx rounds over a year ago right before silver surfer came out.

]]> <![CDATA[The Fantastic Four Movie Marvel Doesn't Want You To See]]> I used to have a copy of this on my computer. (Look around on some torrent sites. I'm sure you can find a copy somewhere.) It's truly a horrifying sight to behold. The whole thing is goofy as hell, and this Johnny Storm is nearly as intolerable as the current one. In fact, the new Fantastic Four movies are only marginally better than Corman's.

Sharpless

]]> <![CDATA[The Fantastic Four Movie Marvel Doesn't Want You To See]]> Honestly, I like that version better than the ones I've seen recently. Yeah, it's campy, ridiculous, and comic book-ish, but at least it has a sort of awesome feel to it. It's not so idiotic that you just want to walk away. It doesn't look too bad...

]]> <![CDATA[The Fantastic Four Movie Marvel Doesn't Want You To See]]> "Roger Corman's Fantastic Four"??????

I haven't even watched the clip yet, and I just came. A LOT.

raincoaster

]]> <![CDATA[The Fantastic Four Movie Marvel Doesn't Want You To See]]> Yeah, I kinda liked that better than the 2005 movie. And I say that as someone who enjoyed the 2005 movie. On the other hand, it is two o'clock in the morning now.

]]> <![CDATA[The Fantastic Four Movie Marvel Doesn't Want You To See]]> I love Ed Wood. I seriously appreciate his movies, am glad they exist. But there is something about Corman's output that has always left me feeling nauseous and a little soul-sick. I'm not sure what it is. I know that he's given a lot of important folks their start, that his flicks have a certain camp appeal. Did anybody see Carnosaur? There's this mad scientist, and she makes this thing that makes women become impregnated with dino eggs, which ultimately makes their stomachs explode. Just. Just. Ick. Soul-sick, I'm telling you!

strider_mt2k

]]> <![CDATA[The Fantastic Four Movie Marvel Doesn't Want You To See]]> I happened to get a copy of this, I hope this isn't the one a lot of special effects people donated their time into making, if it is, rather harshing judging the movie over a decade after it was made, I wonder what the author of this was like a decade ago, and how they would handle being critiqued about themselves back then.

]]> <![CDATA[The Fantastic Four Movie Marvel Doesn't Want You To See]]> I remember reading in some fanzine about this movie! The only thing that I remember is that The Human Torch was played by Jay Underwood who was in "The Boy Who Could Fly"
Nutty!

]]> <![CDATA[The Fantastic Four Movie Marvel Doesn't Want You To See]]> I've got a bootlegged DVD of this on the way along with the Justice League fiasco. I've already got Birds of Prey...

ashadowcastinred

]]> <![CDATA[The Fantastic Four Movie Marvel Doesn't Want You To See]]> Shockterminal is right. This was a movie that HAD to be made contractually to keep the license, and was never intended to be released. I don't think they told the actors, but it seems like some of them are figuring it out during the movie and decide to have fun with it.

I love the Dr. Doom actor throwing out gangsigns.

Spiral

]]> <![CDATA[The Fantastic Four Movie Marvel Doesn't Want You To See]]> this looks more like the comic book i remember, the new movies sucked IMHO and this looks a lot more fun.

I remember Shazam! And how 'bout "Isis"?

@CMG: Don't be hatin' the Alba! Ahhhhh, Jessica...

Frozen-Tex

]]> <![CDATA[The Fantastic Four Movie Marvel Doesn't Want You To See]]> This movie looks AWESOME. The clip should have been longer! Will he make it in time to stop the destructo beam from hitting its target?! Will he be able to travel faster than light? Will their state of the art graphics save them from Doom's nylon cape? Will those two guys who keep playing the same minions finally break something after throwing themselves at the floor!? Will the thing finally manage to move his lips!? ALL THIS AND MORE NEXT TIME!

phoenix

]]> <![CDATA[The Fantastic Four Movie Marvel Doesn't Want You To See]]> I have this on DVD. The whole movie! I bought it off eBay almost 3 years ago.

It's so bad that it's good again. The guy who plays Doom is so campy that it's hilarious. He keeps wiggling his fingers in a desperate attempt to emote without using his face (metal mask). There's this one scene that always gets us laughing were he caresses this scientist's face and plays with his lip. Classic.

tweezy

]]> <![CDATA[The Fantastic Four Movie Marvel Doesn't Want You To See]]> love how the human torch throws fireballs underhand COMPLETELY missing the bad guys and blowing up the same wall 3 times. and you HAVE to love the evil lair strobe lighting. that's just classy.

schmid4brains

]]> <![CDATA[The Fantastic Four Movie Marvel Doesn't Want You To See]]> Truly craptastic. To give Corman his due, one of the constants of his films has been an ability to maintain pacing with great editing and propulsive plotting. As bad as this vehicle is, it still MOVES compared to the lackluster direction and lazy writing of the last two cinematic horseapples.

Ah, yes. "Electro Woman and Dyna Girl", the stuff of my (numerous) childhood fantasies...

Plague

]]> <![CDATA[The Fantastic Four Movie Marvel Doesn't Want You To See]]> This was made to keep thier contract, basicly a movie had to be made by a certain date (regardless of how good it was or not) for them to be able to make the new ones.

]]> <![CDATA[The Fantastic Four Movie Marvel Doesn't Want You To See]]> I like Corman. He's a terrible action director, obviously, but who else would tell the story of the loyalty and love between a mad scientist, his wife, Peter Graves, and a Venusian Pickle-being that wants to take over Earth?

El_Bandito

]]> <![CDATA[The Fantastic Four Movie Marvel Doesn't Want You To See]]> I've seen this all the way through and I have to say that the recent versions pretty much feel exactly like the Corman one, just with bigger budgets. Maybe it's just the source material, but they all suffer from the cheese factor.

]]> <![CDATA[The Fantastic Four Movie Marvel Doesn't Want You To See]]> I have the entire movie somewhere on a VHS bootleg that I bought at DragonCon. Truly, truly dreadful.

extracrispy

]]> <![CDATA[The Fantastic Four Movie Marvel Doesn't Want You To See]]> I like the Thing's underoos. And nothing/no one could be worse than Jessica Alba (as anything), so bonus points for this version.
