Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

kfo9494 As advertised, this is truly a documentary with scenes from early, and poor budgeted, 'B' movies dealing mainly with cheap horror films from the 50's. I would not say that this film is outstanding but it was humorous to see the sets and costumes worn in the golden era of 'B' type films with the narrative performed by comedy actors from the early 80's.I really do not understand how people can say that it was a 'Gem' since the entire film consist mainly of footage from non-classic films with added commentary by the hosts. It was a nice look back at early low-budget films but not much else in the form of entertainment.The best thing is that nearly all the cheap, low-budget, corny 'B' type movie scenes are now in one place. Other than that not much to see here.But again it is a documentary and as documentaries go-- it was interesting.

vampi1960 It came from Hollywood features clips from some of the best b movies ever featuring;plan 9 from outer space,attack of the 50 foot woman,the killer shrews,glen or Glenda,son of Godzilla,the thing with two heads, Frankenstein meets the space monster,horror of party beach,and much more.but some of the movie clips shown are a list movies like day the earth stood still,war of the worlds,and the incredible shrinking man. hosted in segments by;Gilda radner,Dan ackroyd,john candy,and cheech and chong(they host getting high in the movies)its a fine hodgepodge of classic movie clips.it was put together very well and hopefully soon they will release this to DVD.i remember them showing this in place of Saturday night live once and they chopped it up.the getting high segment was missing of course and the racy clip from sunny side up with AL Jolson in black face was snipped.if you never seen this and you love Hollywood's b movies and some a list movies you will enjoy it came from Hollywood.and like john candy says in the beginning there's dirty parts too,not really its pg rated and there's no nude scenes.some adult language but thats it.bevare of the scene from glen or Glenda with bela Lugosi its a trip.some of the other films are i married a monster from outer space,mars needs women,amazing colossal man,cyclops,crawling eye,the manster,incredible melting man,attack of the mushroom people,Santa Claus vs the martians(with Pia zadora)beginning of the end,the giant claw,reefer madness,marijuana,and many others i didn't list.i recommend it came from Hollywood.its fun and its funny.10 out of 10.

Mister-6 Leave it to "Hollywood".When they finally have a chance to make a movie that pays homage to the worst films ever made (and they have some doozies here), they go and screw up "It Came from Hollywood" by thinking they need endless comic asides by Aykroyd, Radner, Candy, and Cheech and Chong. Don't get me wrong, it's always nice to see them, but why here?And how did good films make it in here? "The Incredible Shrinking Man" and "War of the Worlds" are shown and they were actually good films! Everyone agrees, right? It's not like there's a shortage of bad films in Hollywood's archives.But they do get it right when they profile "classics" like "Plan 9 from Outer Space", "Mars Needs Women", "Attack of the 50-Foot Woman" and such. And Ed Wood was always a ripe target for such a film. Just ask Tim Burton.In the end, though, it's more like a partial coming attractions trailer than a film. The movie seems to end before it began, and look at how many more bad movies they've made since then! It's staggering! Hey, "Hollywood", if there's ever a sequel made to this one, just focus on the bad films by themselves, and a little less of Aykroyd. Okay, please?Three stars, mostly for what films are shown. And for the sight of Aykroyd and Candy in pink angora sweaters while riding a Harley. Now THERE'S an idea for a bad movie.

Driver-5 I've read a lot of negative reviews of IT CAME FROM HOLLYWOOD since it was first released, but I have to admit, I think it's hilarious. The film is broken into several sections, each introduced by one or more of the comedians. for example, John Candy pays tribute to Ed Wood (Including a remake of the "coming out" scene from GLEN OR GLENDA with Dan Aykroyd), Cheech and Chong introducing clips from the likes of THE COCAINE FIENDS, etc. Some of the clips drag, some clips have been "doctored" to seem even sillier then they really are, but with the likes of PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE and MARS NEEDS WOMEN on display, there are some great moments.
