->''"We were also hampered by budget constraints and cutbacks in all departments. [[Creator/TheCannonGroup Cannon Films]] had nearly thirty projects in the works at the time, and ''Superman IV'' received no special consideration. For example, [Lawrence] Konner and [Mark] Rosenthal wrote a scene in which Superman lands on 42nd Street and walks down the double yellow lines to the United Nations, where he gives a speech. If that had been a scene in ''[[Film/SupermanTheMovie Superman I]]'', we would actually have shot it on 42nd Street. [[Creator/RichardDonner Dick Donner]] would have choreographed hundreds of pedestrians and vehicles and cut to people gawking out of office windows at the sight of Superman walking down the street like the Pied Piper. Instead, [[CaliforniaDoubling we had to shoot at an industrial park in England]] in the rain with about a hundred extras, not a car in sight, and a dozen pigeons thrown in for atmosphere. Even if the story had been brilliant, I don't think that we could ever have lived up to the audience's expectations with this approach."''

-> Fred Williamson can make a movie with 75 cents and a dirty look. The only drawbacks are that most of the extras are pedestrians gaping into the camera, a few of the main characters are Italian security guards asking everyone to leave, and if you ever see anything explode, that probably wasn't on purpose. Still, anyone can admire the frugality in this scene from ''[[Film/TheBlackCobra Black Cobra 3]]''. Both the soundtrack and the dialogue were legally too stupid to pay for, and Fred massacres a gang in a grocery store while destroying only one candle, one package of cookies and one roll of toilet paper. If Fred Williamson made ''Film/JohnCarter'', it would have been called ''[[{{Blaxploitation}} Spaceman Brown: Chocolate Motherfucker]]'', and it would have turned a $250 million profit.

->The infamous wobbly walls (often mentioned in classic ''Who'' but rarely seen) make an appearance as the Doctor attempts to scale the silo... the floppy tentacled Kroll is one of the most toe curlingly awful ''Doctor Who'' sequences ever and guess whose [[ObnoxiousInlaws mother in law]] was around the last time this story had an airing? 'Doctor Who is good I tell you!' I could be heard objecting to her mirth.

OK, now don't get me wrong, I love practical effects; but really? Are we supposed to believe that those're some kinda [[LaserHallway laser bars]] or somethin'? Fucking ''really?'' You couldn't do some kind of effect here? Jesus Christ, where did all the money in the budget go to, catering for James Doohan? Toupees for Creator/WilliamShatner?\\\
Like, ''[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Next Gen]]'' just has a glowing blue light, totally transparent cell door--but just [[SomeKindOfForceField a simple electrostatic zap-type effect]] that indicated that there was an invisible force field there. That's all you need. Then you don't gotta stare at this fuckin' terrible set, and you can shoot at your actors inside the cell door without having the fuckin' florescent light bulbs there.

->Do yourself a favor and get into these clips from [[LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek Lifetime’s]] BrittanyMurphy biopic. This shit is so low-budget that I think [[PoesLaw it might be a prank]]. I was waiting for Jimmy Kimmel, no scratch that -- SethMeyers to walk out. This is Lifetime’s attempt to grab ahold of that ''{{Sharknado}}''-type viral success, right? No one can act, that girl looks not a thing like the much-missed Murphy, and holy shite, THAT WIG ON 'ALICIA SILVERSTONE.' Did someone from ''Film/TheCraft'' cast a curse on that girl? What in hell does she have going on under there that required that on her head? I think it’s still attached to whatever animal died for it. And that animal has peed many times and it’s dried. They [[EpicFail couldn’t afford an actual blonde?]]

\n->[[Wrestling/TheUndertaker Taker]] and the [[Wrestling/RandyOrton Ortons]] partook in a game of Dueling Mannequins, with each party scaring the other with caskets — caskets occupied by wax dummies so lifelike, you’d swear they were just the real Undertaker…and the real Ortons… Okay, okay, so the dummies really ''were'' simply the Undertaker and the Ortons pretending to be dummies. I just find it depressing that the company’s special effects budget had apparently shrunken since 1996; they couldn’t even afford a Casket Cam in 2005.
