message: Perhaps a quote section should be added, having seen the movie quite a few times there a lot of memorable and funny quotes throughout the movie that I would be more than happy to add to.

Did Ed Wood really say this during the premiere of "Plan 9" in 1957?  If so, how poetic and prophetic!!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.66.129.231 (talk) 07:11, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Factual Inaccuracies 

message: The incident mentioned in the Bela Lugosi Factual Inaccuracies section is stated to have occurred on the Milton Berle Show, but the Bela Lugosi WP article says that it occurred on the Red Skelton Show. Here is the exact quote from the Bela Lugosi article: Late in Lugosi's life, comedian Red Skelton invited Lugosi to appear on a live CBS telecast. As was depicted in the Tim Burton film Ed Wood, Lugosi (portrayed by Martin Landau in an Oscar-winning role) had learned the script for a skit and was confused when Skelton began to ad lib. However, Burton, did not actually identify the comedian in the biopic, although the events depicted were correct. Hi There 12:31, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: ok, this might be or is suppose to be.. Merle or maybe Skelton?? but i swear, just MY opinion, the live TV show, the character standing next to the Lugosi-filled coffin.. seems to me, to be Charlie Callas. Which, still MIGHT have happen on Merle's or Skelton's show... or maybe on Sid Caesar's 'Your Show of Shows'!! i dont know.. 76.218.250.61 (talk) 00:01, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Berle or Skelton?

message: The Bela Lugosi Factual Errors section contains the following statement: Lugosi never expressed his opinion of Boris Karloff. At best, they could be called professional rivals, but certainly not enemies. This is simply incorrect usage; I have changed "at best" to "at worst". Hi There 12:38, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: At Worst or At Best?

message: I know you can't, legally speaking, libel dead people but some of the claims made in the "fictions" section are downright disgusting. Considering how there's not even a hint of a source for this stuff, I am going to remove a few of the more outrageous claims. Do not replace unless you have some evidence to back these smears up. --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 09:48, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Fictions

message: ===Historical inaccuracies===
A key scene, where a discouraged and angry Wood (in drag) storms off the set of Plan 9 from Outer Space, drops into a randomly chosen bar for a drink, and runs into Orson Welles, whose words of encouragement inspire Wood to go back and finish the picture, was fabricated for the purpose of the film; though Wood may have admired Welles, there exists no evidence suggesting they had ever met.
There is also no mention of Wood's son, who was born prior to when this film was set.

thread_title: Historical inaccuracies

message: Another tag in question;
The scene where Bela is seen walking towards his house after Ed drops him off, he mentions how Hollywood has changed its horror films and how they aren't what they used to be back in the 1930s. He mentions movies about giant bugs (Them!), giant spiders, (Tarantula) and giant grasshoppers (Beginning of the End), however these movies came out after when the scene was supposed to be set and after the release of Glen or Glenda.[original research?]
I don't see how that's "original research." Glen or Glenda came out in 1953, and each of these movies came out afterwards. Having said that, were those truly the first kinds of movies about giant insects and the like terrorizing the public? ---------User:DanTD (talk)  18:28, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
