I don't know if this one was brought up yet or not, but has anyone heard of "Manos: Hands of Fate"? It is quite possibly the most unintentionally hilarious movie I've ever seen. Consider:
*It was made by a fertilizer salesman on a bet, with a budget of 19,000 dollars.
*The salesman played an immortal dude with a bunch of wives, his wife made the costumes, and his daughter played the little girl in it.
*They had enough lighting for about a foot in front of them, which gives us a memorable scene in which a police officer goes to "check out" an area and only steps about two inches away from his car. The lighting also attracted moths, which shows.
*"Manos" is spanish for hands, which means that the title is actually "Hands: Hands of Fate"
*The camera they used could only record about thirty-two seconds and could not record sound. All of the cast was dubbed over later by two women and one man.
*There is a totally unrelated subplot of two teenagers making out in a car. This was put in because the female actress broke her leg earlier on and couldn't do her original part.
*The only people who actually got paid for acting in it was the little girl (who got a bike) and the dog (which got a bag of dogfood).
