Which title on IMDb has the highest number of keywords?

Which title on IMDb has the record for the highest number of keywords added to that title?

Apparent First Place

From what I can tell, the record seems to be currently held by an obscure 2020 title called . That title currently has 1,659 keywords.

I would bet money that the writer/director/star of this very obscure film added most or all of the keywords himself. He also has 11,495 photos on IMDb. WTF? He indicates in his bio that one of his "trademarks" is "[o]ccasional paranoid schizophrenic tendencies in writings and statements." 

I can't say that the 1,659 keywords for this title are irrelevant or improper. When I peruse the keywords, it looks to me like he has simply copied and pasted numerous keyword synonyms or derivations for specific plot concepts. I have also found some evidence of him copying and pasting multiple keywords from other specific titles on IMDb. With that said, I have no reason to doubt that the keywords are not also relevant to his title. I haven't watched the film, which apparently consists of a single telephone conversation for the duration.

Apparent Second Place 

From what I have seen, second-place for the highest number of keywords is the 2019 pandemic film The Directive, which currently has 1,385 keywords.

Similarly, I have no reason to believe that the keywords for The Directive are improper either, but again with the caveat that I have not seen the film.

Are There Others?

Has anyone else come across a title with more than 1,000 keywords?

Hi keyword_expert -

Regarding the first title you reported, the listed keywords for this title were invalid and have now been removed.

Regarding the second title, I was unable to detect any inflation of invalid keywords, however, if you watch the title and encounter any errors, please submit any applicable deletions through our online Update form and our editors will take a look.

Cheers!

Hi forthehorde -

Thanks for the additional call-out on the image issue.  I'm currently exploring the best method to remove these images, once they have been removed I will post an update here.

Cheers!

@Michelle 

Since you first detected the keyword-spamming on the title discussed in this thread, I wanted to share with you that the filmmaker has apparently also keyword-spammed his other, more recent films with keywords like "ruggedly handsome mature man" and "good looking man" and "handsomeness." Haha! 

Here are the titles:

Theoretically, an even more paranoid conspiratorial phone call (344 keywords)

Theoretically, an even much more paranoid conspiratorial phone call (321 keywords)

Probably not all of the keywords are irrelevant, but some of them do appear to be keyword spamming based on subjectivity.

@Michelle The situation has definitely improved, but there are still quite a bit of almost-dupes: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12814530/mediaindex?page=1

@Marco 

He also did something similar with this other more recent film, but not to the same massive extent.

And it looks like the least relevant keywords on those other two titles have been removed as well! Nice work!

I hope we are not adding to the creator's paranoia, though, or we may be mentioned in his next "paranoid conspiratorial phone call."  :^)

@Michelle​ This guy is nothing if not persistent. He has now spammed IMDb with duplicate copies of video excerpts from his films.

This one doesn't appear to be as egregious, but at a minimum the video titles are falsely labeled.
Then there are the 343 photos on this title. Not the worst ever, but still pretty excessive.
And the 275 photos on this title:
