I love crappy effects in movies - I have a few films like Plan 9 From Outer Space, Troma movies etc...but here's a movie I've not seen yet. Wow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nzd0R_OeOc&feature=related
Anyone got any more clips?
Crappy effects
Not a film, but an advert.

Saw this clip ages ago, and nearly forgot what to search for. It's a gem.
WARNING: Contains harrowing footage.
Haha! Brilliant the way the shark changes size between appearances.

"The effects of drowsiness is actually just as bad as the effects of alcohol."
Improved imaging ability is not all the makers of that advert needed.

They must have seen it in colour and thought "This is shit. Maybe it'll look better in black and white." Cf. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=jN_UK-81Xuw
Caught The Lady Vanishes on BBC4 last night:

Even for allowing for age the opening model shot is unconvincing. I particularly like the toy car.

Those effects are bloody good for 1948!

That film was made in 2002.

Wow!
At least he's actually picking those guys up and throwing them though.
Nowadays they'd have bloody wires lifting them and it would look shit.
The chewits ads were wonderfully cheesy. I looked on youtube and couldn't find the original ones, this one is from some years later.
Ooooh! That's the one I remember! Brilliant.
I did always get annoyed though, because the dinosaur ate them without taking the paper off first.

They hired an acrobat to do all the leaps and rolls, then cut to a wooden model on a zipwire, which they could film in natural light. Special effects in the old days were often crap, but ingenious.
I prefer them old school.
That zip wire bit is brilliant!
Even in Harryhausen films with plasticine monsters, I find that scarier than CGI. CGI cannot affect you on a gut level, because you know it's fake.
All monsters should be made of real actual stuff. Like the werewolves in The Howling and American Werewolf in London.
CGI can f**k off.
I love all those old films with stop-motion monsters, all the Harryhausens will be watched by film fans forever, because no-one does that anymore, and it was done so well.
Unfortunately the chewits ad with the dinosaur eating chewits instead of Barrow-In-Furness bus station doesn't seem to be on the internet. That was the one I remembered, probably from around 1980? It was so cheesy it should have been advertising British cheeses.
