00:00I've had a lot of strange experiences after all these years in the film business, but
00:13I have to say that Fantastic Four ranks somewhere near the top.
00:17It's clobbering time.
00:20Like a phantom in this film.
00:24Strange.
00:25It was like a feeling that I've never experienced before.
00:29It's a piece of history.
00:30I never would have thought that it was 20 years later that I'd be sitting here talking
00:34about it.
00:35This thing just won't die.
00:37Expect trouble.
00:40I didn't know then, you know, all of the machinery that had been at work.
00:45It was the seedy, dark side of Hollywood.
00:51We really wanted people to see this.
00:53How many movies did Roger Corman make and never release?
00:56One.
00:57Wait a minute.
00:58Why?
00:59Are we going to let them take this movie away from us and not get anything out of it?
01:03We've got to show people that we made a movie.
01:06That's how you get another job.
01:07All this effort, time, and all the work that went into making that film, pointless, meaningless.
01:16This film was never really intended to be a film.
01:19I said, oh yeah?
01:21You watch.
01:22I think this documentary is, I think it's about time.
01:27Hopefully, it might be like the last piece of this whole puzzle.
01:31The great untold, never seen version.
01:33The original Fantastic Four.
01:34Finally, after 20 years, this story is going to be told.
01:38Unfortunately, this version of the Fantastic Four really was doomed.
