Handily The Best Fantastic Four Movie Can Be Found In An Unreleased 1994 B-Movie

For a movie that never even got a proper release, the backstory behind the 1994 movie The Fantastic Four has become borderline legendary. With famous producer Roger Corman executive producing the movie on a budget of only $1 million, the film was produced as a low-budget excuse for the producers to hold onto the film rights to the characters, something the cast and the rest of the crew was apparently unaware of. That means this take on Marvel Comics first family has languished in obscurity for twenty-three years while the trio of attempts at live-action Fantastic Four movies have come and gone to universally dismal reviews.

Spawn Is A Terrifying Movie But Not In Any Of The Ways It Wants To Be Terrifying

Us comic book fans may have had to wait until the 21st century for proper live-action movie adaptations of The Avengers, Spider-Man, Hellboy, Wonder Woman and all kinds of other superheroes but a few comic book characters did manage to get their own theatrical American movies prior to Y2K coming around. Superman and Batman, of course, got incredibly famous movies while the likes of The Punisher, Captain America and Howard The Duck also got their own feature films. You know who else got one? Spawn, the Image Comics character who was reasonably popular in the 1990's but has since faded away into obscurity. This terrible movie he got in 1997 suggests that may not be a bad thing.
