Ed Wood RUles! LOL! Yes I have Glen or Glenda and Beast of Yucca Flats.
and Plan 9 (Originally supposed to be called Graverobbers from outer space). The name was changed because Ed Wood's main moonetary backers was a Baptist Church. LOL!
Ed Wood's limitations, in all seriousness, were two-fold. One the techniques and effects of the time were in no comparison to todays. His movies still lacked technical prestige for the time, but the Grade A movies of the time would still look bad today. Also the guy had a ridiculous crew, didn't have filming permits, and had little to no budget (No big contracts). So the fact that he was able to put any kind of a movie together at all is actually impressive.
Even then the actual writting of the scripts weren't that bad. The execution was just typically off. Mostly due to the fact he had a cast of non-actors besides Lugosi.
If you take Ed Woods work into a comparison view against a big budget, every thing available to them, POS script with Rob Schnieder starring as Doube Douchebag! then yeah ED Woods movies stand head and shoulders above that crap!
