Most Ludicrous Premise
I Refuse the Word 'Impossible' Doctor Bragan wants to fuse the two Venus plants together to make a human plant. Ooooookay.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

Stupidest-Looking Monster
Plantenstein, Part II Another shot of the plant-monster in action. With its boxing-glove-like "hand" flowers, it's a Rock-'Em-Sock'-Em-Rutabaga.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

"Whoops!"
Off to a Great Start See those credits? Completely, utterly WRONG. The star is James Craig, not whoever the hell they said. And it was written by Ed Wood. THE Ed Wood. Thank you, IMDb, for alerting me to the tasty fact that the credits are actually for Mad Doctor of Blood Island. Check out "Paul" saying "liftoff to countdown." Shouldn't that be the other way around?	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

Worst Acting
Unecessary Extreme Closeup James Craig as the titular Dr. X: "No one...no one...is to disturb this box!" Zoooooom!

Worst Picture
I Don't Know Where This Is Going, So I Give Up Dr. B goes up the mountain with a goat to tempt the plant critter to safety. Suddenly they're falling(?). Then they plunge down the mountainside into some convenient stock-footage lava(?). And somehow the kid survives. Gosh. He didn't get much revenge.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!
