One of the better examples of this would be Disney's "The Nutty Professor" Many of the "flying model T" shots were done with miniatures shot with red screen.

My vote in this folder goes to any film by H.G. Lewis, Larry Buchanan or Andy Milligan.They were a letdown every single time. Not only are they all awful, but no specific example is even memorable enough to cite. They were blandly bad, which is the worst crime of all.At least we can remember the iconic badness of ROBOT MONSTER, THE GIANT CLAW and THE CREEPING TERROR.

Which is why Harryhausen had to go overseas when he wanted to use it.I'd heard from one of the old guys in the optical department over at Disney that the company only owned two sodium optical printers and one of them had a lens with defects. That left them with only one of them that they could count on for over a decade. The Disney company babied their one good optical printer for years, even cannibalizing parts from the other one to keep it going, Finally it just became too financially stressful putting all their eggs in one basket and they said "Aw, the hell with it!" and moved on to other technology. ...Or so the story goes as he told it.
