History Film / ColourMeKubrick

* StylisticSuck: Lee Pratt as a musician (and even more so as a comedian - his best attempt at humor was calling a waiter "Gargoyle" rather than "Garcon"), as well as the metal band Exterminating Angels.

* AchievementInIgnorance: When making up names for "his" next film, Conway as "Kubrick" says that his current project is ''3001: A Space Odyssey''. Creator/ArthurCClarke did in deed write a sequel novel to ''Film/TwoThousandAndOneASpaceOdyssey'' titled ''3001: The Final Odyssey'', though it's almost certain that Alan Conway didn't know this.

** During a later name-dropping session, "Kubrick" even claims to have made movies with a [[Series/TheMickeyMouseClub Mouseketeer]]:

* BiggerThanJesus: Said verbatim by Norman, Lee Pratt's agent, as Pratt daydreams about how a gig in Las Vegas will boost his career.

** [[Series/JesusOfNazareth Robert Powell]] as the journalist who writes the story about Conway's ruse.

The 2005 film ''Colour Me Kubrick'' is [[BasedOnATrueStory based on the real-life story]] of Alan Conway, a sleazy, [[TheAlcoholic alcoholic]] [[ConMan con artist]] who went around London in the early 1990s claiming to be Creator/StanleyKubrick, despite looking nothing like Kubrick and knowing absolutely nothing about Kubrick's films or about film-making. Instead, Conway's scam mostly relied on the fact that the real Stanley Kubrick rarely gave interviews and was seldom filmed or photographed in person, so most people had no idea of what Stanley Kubrick actually looked or sounded like.

* BlatantLies: Alan Conway's entire MO consists of claiming to be Creator/StanleyKubrick. Since he knows nothing about film-making (and never even watched most of Kubrick's films), Conway bluffs his way through by name-dropping various celebrities that he claims to have worked with or be friends with, and usually fails to get even those right.
