Imagine the worst possible film you can. Pretty awful, right? Now imagine that film is just the best film in an achingly bad film trilogy linked only by the director (who also happens to be writer, producer and star), and a bizarre emphasis on coffee, light aircraft and soul-crushing tragedy. You now have an inkling of what the Coleman Francis trilogy is like.

  • Imagine the worst possible film you can. Pretty awful, right? Now imagine that film is just the best film in an achingly bad film trilogy linked only by the director (who also happens to be writer, producer and star), and a bizarre emphasis on coffee, light aircraft and soul-crushing tragedy. You now have an inkling of what the Coleman Francis trilogy is like. Each of Coleman Francis' films easily fall alongside such "gems" as Baby Geniuses, Monster A Go-Go, Old Dogs, or Battlefield Earth, but what makes them really notable is that he managed to produce three of them, each utterly terrible, but in completely different ways. All three films have been featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000, elevating Francis into that elite circle of bad movie directors that also includes Uwe Boll, Hal P. Warren, Ed Wood, Herschell Gordon Lewis, Tommy Wiseau, James Nyugen, Seltzer and Friedberg, and many more.
