@@jaydouglas8845 The hell everyone does. 41 years old here, seen the movie countless time, I did not. I've also never watched The Day the Earth Stood Still.
@@marcbloom7462 Oh yeah, Bubba Ho-Tep is awesome albeit slightly more serious yet brilliant. Don Coscarelli should be taken more serious by the movie biz since his movies are iconic (if a bit confusing when it comes to Phantasm II-V due to all the jumping between scenes). He also wrote "John Dies at the End" and we were waiting for the sequel to Bubba Ho-Tep: "Bubba Nosferatu - Curse of the She-Vampires" which was cut down by Bruce Campbell in 2017: ""I killed it, I killed it for me. I told the creators that I didn’t want to dance around it anymore. I feel that the first one was a nice little gem and you don’t have to make a sequel for everything. Don Coscarelli, god bless him, go make it. You know, get somebody else. They had Ron Perlman at one point. Knock yourself out. I don’t want to stop you from making this, but I don’t want to [do it]. So, that one I’m just going to let go." During his book tour (when he said this in an interview) he did seem quite bitter at the time; not about/against Don, just about the movie industry as a whole that seemingly didn't take him seriously as well as being so connected to Ash by his fans that he felt trapped by the character/typecasting. He's done quite a lot of tv shows including the 3 season Ash vs Evil Dead show which starts off a bit slow but picks up and feels like the Ash we love. There are also upcoming movies including the comedy/horror "Black Friday", a drama/thriller about Nixon called "18 1/2" where Bruce plays Richard Nixon. Bruce Campbell made a movie in 2007 named "My Name is Bruce" which is well worth a watch: "Mistaken for his character Ash from the 'Evil Dead' trilogy, Bruce Campbell is forced to fight a real monster in a small Oregon town."
Fun Fact: The series went EXACTLY the way Sam Raimi wanted it to. The first movie was straight horror. The second movie was horror with comedic elements. The third movie was comedy with horror elements. It's meant to represent Ash's sanity slipping away over the course of the series and him becoming too jaded and traumatized by what he's experienced to be scared anymore. Since we experience the story from his perspective, just like him, it stops being scary and starts becoming darkly funny as he hides from the trauma in humor and his ability to be afraid kind of goes away.
No that's not what Sam intended originally. He was just going to jump straight into Army of Darkness after he got a producer for a second film. The producer told him no and that he had to make another cabin in the woods sequel to The Evil Dead. Ash's personality changes were just natural as they fan reactions.
Same. I still can’t say those words in any context without using that tone of voice. Maybe 2 friends at most know why and love me for it, everyone else looks at me like there’s something very wrong with me. (And they’re probably right)
@@mckenzie.latham91 Yes, and people always cut the clip to show the first skeleton, but never the second one running by screaming like a lunatic. It's hilarious
As a 15 year old back in 92, I laughed like a maniac at the "Let's get the Hell out of here!" line. And 44 year old me is still laughing like a maniac hearing it.
The fact that they couldn't reuse old footage, and had to use a different actress to play his girlfriend, fits in with his personality, that he can't even remember what she looks like.
Appreciate you saying this comment because I've never looked at it like that now I just see it as every time Ash tells the story he tells a little bit different cuz he doesn't remember the details
The skeleton screaming "Let's get the hell out of here!" cracks me up every time. Plus, another fun Sam Raimi movie, Darkman. I think that movie is criminally underrated.
The TV Show "Ash vs the Evil Dead" was a perfect continuation and ending? for the series, the kept the same style, bruce campbell kept the persona and updated it.
Good job making sure she got to watch both endings. We Brits got the "I slept too long" ending and many of us didn't even get to see the shop ending for quite a few years.
That's because the original ending has Big Ben sitting right there nice and visible. They figured you guys would appreciate that. Just kidding. I dunno.
I absolutely agree with Emily that the S-Mart ending is superior. And it's not even close. It's not only one of the best sequences in this movie, but it's one of the most quintessential "Ash" sequences in the entire lore with some of the best one-liners. (It's a toss-up between this scene and "Who's laughing now?" from Evil Dead 2.) This is an instance in which the more mainstream studio ending was the right call.
Absolutely. The dark ending just doesn't fit the comedic tone they were going for in this movie. I would love them to release a version of this film where they edit both endings together. Ash falls asleep in the cave, has the nightmare, then wakes up in the present day and goes back to his job at S-Mart. It could easily be done using the existing footage.
I knew a guy who was in the same high school art classes as Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi. They were talking about Evil Dead way back when. (By the way, this guy, from Michigan, told me about them in 1986, so I believe he was credible. It got me to watch the original movie, which was a rather obscure title back then.)
My Friend has a Mossberg shotgun. He has the word "Boomstick" engraved into the stock and at the muzzle of the gun he has an arrow pointing downrange and the words "This End towards Screwheads"
It's a fun read - describes how Raimi had it in for him since Middle School and described filming Evil Dead as his "pseudo-Vietnam experience" in the backwoods of Tennessee.
Bruce Campbell let leak a page from Doctor Strange 2 and in it Strange travels through the multiverse and winds up outside a ramshackle cabin in the woods where he’s confronted by a man with a chainsaw for a hand. It’d be awesome if that’s scene is in the movie, but Bruce leaked this out on April 1st.
@@geraldn51 that was The Evil Dead 1&2. I thought the same thing myself when this came out (though the term had not yet been coined). I remember seeing trailers for a man with a chainsaw hand when I was a kid but had never seen the movie. I was eighteen when AoD came out and I was like, “Why do I have the feeling I’ve seen this somewhere before?” I think they weren’t allowed to use the Evil Dead name because another studio had the rights. Much like they couldn’t use S-Mart in the TV show for the same reasons.
So, the scene where the sage is holding the bag of gunpowder near the candle is directly referenced in Lord of the Rings The Two Towers. Apparently Christopher Lee was a fan of Army of Darkness and requested the scene be added.
I love this movie. When people talk about how great the latest Oscar winning movie is, I always reply, it's OK...but it's no Army of Darkness! Also, Ash VS The Evil Dead that had several seasons on Starz a couple years ago was fantastic. Great continuation of the story!
The comic "Ashes 2 Ashes"actually continues the story and explains what happened when Ash mispoke the words: That he was sent back in time, but BEFORE he went to the Cabin. The Wise Man travels back to ensure that they can get past Ash through the portal to prevent the timeline from being screwed up.
I swear, when I would go over to my friends houses every weekend to watch movies back in the day (80's and 90's), we would rent (Blockbuster) all kinds of low budget movie gold. Watching your reviews are like my friends never left. We never drifted apart, we never moved away or got married, we are still getting together to watch awesome movies. I pop open a beer and we still laugh at the same jokes, still cheer at the same parts when the hero wins, it's like I'm still with all my old friends. You guys ARE those friends! Your channel is more important than you realize. Cheers from Texas!!
The TV show "Ash vs Evil Dead" is a great continuation of the story, and revels in Evil Dead 2 style "campy grossness". I kind of like the name "Evil Deadite" but you should be aware that I once named a beer-based cocktail "Anal Seepage" so take my recommendations with skepticism.
@@eldeano9964 Well, at the time I thought it was one more example of my Super Awesome skill at naming stuff but the consensus in the Lamestream Media was that while it described the look of the cocktail perfectly, it also made people think about what it looked like, therefore leading to vomit from the weak willed.
This entire reaction is just Emily alternating between being creeped/grossed out by stuff, and having a 'moment' over Bruce Campbell, and I am here for it
Fun Fact: Ted Raimi (Sam's younger brother) plays at least three different roles in this movie: The cowardly warrior who doesn't want to die, the "You can count on my steel" guy and of course, the skeptical S-Mart worker.
Did you guys noticed that demon doing the Xena battle cry? Xena the Warrior princess definitely got her battle cry from this movie, lalalalalala. Joxer from Xena is also in this movie and he is like the producers brother or something. Bruce Campbell is the Prince of Thieves Otolocus in Xena/Hercules. Funny to see the similarities between this and Xena/Hercules.
The tv show Ash vs Evil Dead picks up 30 years later and continues the adventures of Ash Williams and his 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale. (It's also Uncle Ben's car in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, he cameos his car in everything he directs and even lends it to friends, it was also in The Big Lebowski watching cross-dressers destroy The Dude's car.) Fun Fact: The goth/prog rock band Covered In Spiders wrote a song called Chainsaw For A Hand as a tribute to Ash.
Welcome back, and what a film to come back to. It's legitimately my fav film. If you wanted a slight different comedy reaction, I can suggest guest house paradiso, it's silly and slap stick type humour with physical violence thrown in, the fight scene in the kitchen has be howling every time 😂 or any of the bottom live shows, they are film length but is a live show and is hilarious
Do you see were Ash is making the gunpowder and the old man holds the small pouch of gunpowder to the candle and Ash moves the old mans hand from the candle? That looks exactly like it's for the "The Two Towers" scenes in 2002 with Saruman and Wormtongue. I wonder if Peter Jackson got that from Army from Darkness?
14:15 - *“Come on, now. That's clearly a mirror.”* A mirror whose reflection was standing up, facing straight out of the mirror, while _Ash_ was sitting down, with his back half-turned. So, even without knowing what happens next, _something_ was clearly wrong there.
I remember me and my mom watching this in the theater and looking at each other and saying Cool! When our town Grand Rapids, Michigan was mentioned as the manufacturing city of his boomstick.
So glad you showed her both endings. Story wise, I prefer the alternate ending. But the theatrical ending was just so much fun...and had one of my favorite lines. "Hail to the King, baby"
The whole Franchise is extremely well done I think and highly consistent in it's quality, but I think Army of Darkness might just be perfect (and surprisingly family friendly for an R-Rated Franchise) :D It is also one of the very rare cases were the cinematic version and the directors cut are equally good and offer different point of views for a watch, though the cinematic version fits perfectly with the amazing series! I think this might be the video were you too laughed the most, that speaks for itself I think. Happy Eastergreetings from Germany!
I think they're puppets moved in a way to invoke stop motion. That used to be the technique to do monsters on all the old fantasy and legend and adventure movies, when they didn't put a guy in a suit. Today it's used in animation, see Nightmare before Christmas and the Wallace and Gromit movies.
When I play Dungeons and Dragons and our party finds itself in over their heads I can't help but use that skeletons voice at the end and exclaim "Let's get the hell out of here".
Happy to see you two back, and Bruce is really such a great actor and Sam Raimi might not be one of the best directors around but he understands the tone a movie should have, there are directors that make a horror comedy but always go more towards one or the other, but he really knows how to nail the perfect balance of both, with a sprinkle of batshit craziness in between.
This was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid and I still love it just as much now. It's a fun movie that is just a unique thrill ride from beginning to end. Thanks for the vid guys, also I'm loving the blue hair Emily. 💙
I'm watching this like three years late, but... I have to be that guy and say that, while Danny Elfman did work on this movie, he only created one piece of music for it, which is 'The March of the Dead'. The rest of the music is done by Joseph Loduca, who did the music for the first two films, the TV show in 2015, and the main theme for the 2020 video game.
Army of Darkness will always stand high on my alltime fave flicks list. Saw it in the theater with several buddies and that added to my overall enjoyment. Glad you guys enjoyed it!
I've watched this movie many, many time and am ashamed to say I just put together that Bad Ashe in the battle scene gave the Zena war cry (a homage to when Campbell worked with Lucy Lawless).
I like all of them but this one is my favourite just because they really embraced the madness and one liners and humour that still holds up. And the whole army of muttering skeletons, I mean, its the best. *angry dooting*
Great to see you guys back reacting! I remember seeing the original Evil Dead when it came to VHS back in the mid 80's and being totally confused by the Evil Dead Part 2 lol. Something for you to watch, maybe not on the list per se, Gamers; The Dorkness Rises and Journeyquest both from Zombie Orpheus Entertainment. I gather you both role play or are familiar with the genre and those series are comedy gold.
Love this movie, also I vote for "Deadite Bastard" for the drink. I love the final act of this movie, the "Sally forggh, Sally forggh... sally forth..." and basically ALL of the skeletons :-) Looking forward to the next video, have a good one.
The words were Klaatu, Veratta Niktu. Not sure why they changed it up slightly from klaatu, Barada, Nikto from The Day the Earth stood still and star wars, but they did.
Since I've bought no less than 3 versions of this movie on DVD (plus a VHS copy) I have to mention something. Everybody loves the whole "good, bad, I'm the one with the gun" thing but the alternate line *BOOM* "I ain't that good" is soo much better.
You've been gone...you've been gone awhile. I was worried. And now you're back, all of the sudden. Reacting to Army of Darkness??! Do you know how much I love you right now??! Hey, welcome back, guys :) Edit: you guys going to LOVE Ash vs Evil Dead series. It's hilarious, gory, and has cool soundtrack. It's everything. Not for the squeamish.
I worked at a video store with over 10,000 movies twenty years ago. My employee picks movie shelf had this movie on it. I don't know how many times I recommended this movie, but I recommended it to almost everyone. Those same customers always wanted recommendations after watching Army of Darkness. This movie used to be my all time favorite movie, until it became very popular, and it still is one my favorite movies. It's just weird how many people know it today, compared to back then. I remember watching a making of this movie, before it came out, and it had the last fight scene where Good Ash and Evil Ash. This was back in 91 or 92. And, that fight scene really wanted me to watch that movie. I think it was on TBS or TNT or some channel like. The cellar scene from Evil Dead was recorded in my neck of the woods in Marshall, Michigan, which I didn't know until years later. One of my other all time favorite movies is Commando, I think it might have the most kills in any movie or something like that, but still has some of the best one liners.
13:08 Being 60yrs old as of 4/1/21 ...... This phrase is like religion ....... Thank you mom....we all miss you, and thank you for being the scifi lover of our household when we were kids in the 60's.
Ay welcome back! And what a movie to come back with! So much fun. As a kid I think this was the first one I saw of the three so it has stuck with me the most. I also like the S-Mart ending. For me it makes sense that he'd still get the words wrong; yeah he got back to his own time, but now the Deadites have followed him. And, in his own way, he is a king.
some trivia: the words "klattu barada nictu" is the command to control the robot from the 1950s sci-fi movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still".
Yes. And these words were also used for the names of several of the aliens in the Jabba the Hutt scenes in ROTJ.
Clearly one to add to the list. They should add Bubba Ho-Tep to the list too.
It's also the words to shutdown the forcefield in Ready Player One

Saw this first on sci-fi channel... Was 11 maybe took some years to fall in love with the whole series
They do need to watch The Day The Earth Stood Still, among others.
The original "the day the earth stood still" was a master piece... My humble opinion
The fact that they couldn't reuse old footage, and had to use a different actress to play his girlfriend, fits in with his personality, that he can't even remember what she looks like.
Well...he did sustain a lot of injuries to the skull, in the last one. Try to drink a shot each time he gets a crease in his melon, I dare ya.

Darkman 1 is excellent 2 and 3 are eh.
and Good Ol' Bruce gets a quick cameo in the end of Darkman as well..

agreed, very underrated. I was around 7 when my father drugged me with him to the movies 2c it. it's one of my favorite movie memories w/my dad.
It almost seems like a "nod" to the movie Labyrinth since one of the Goblins says it too in a similar voice...

Klaatu Varada Nikto / Klaatu Barada Nikto
Love how this has become akin to the Wilhelm scream in movies, video games, etc.
My sister graduated with Bruce Campbell's niece and he went to their Senior All-Night Party. She said he was super cool.
"Klaatu Baradda Nikto" is from The Day the Earth Stood Still...the 50's one, not the Keanu version.
Keanu one sucked
"Klaatu Berada Nikto" - How can anyone not remember how to stand down Gort from "The Day The Earth Stood Still".

Did you guys noticed that demon doing the Xena battle cry? Xena the Warrior princess definitely got her battle cry from this movie, lalalalalala. Joxer from Xena is also in this movie and he is like the producers brother or something. Bruce Campbell is the Prince of Thieves Otolocus in Xena/Hercules. Funny to see the similarities between this and Xena/Hercules.
The tv show Ash vs Evil Dead picks up 30 years later and continues the adventures of Ash Williams and his 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale. (It's also Uncle Ben's car in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, he cameos his car in everything he directs and even lends it to friends, it was also in The Big Lebowski watching cross-dressers destroy The Dude's car.)
Fun Fact: The goth/prog rock band Covered In Spiders wrote a song called Chainsaw For A Hand as a tribute to Ash.
Welcome back, and what a film to come back to. It's legitimately my fav film.
If you wanted a slight different comedy reaction, I can suggest guest house paradiso, it's silly and slap stick type humour with physical violence thrown in, the fight scene in the kitchen has be howling every time 😂 or any of the bottom live shows, they are film length but is a live show and is hilarious
Do you see were Ash is making the gunpowder and the old man holds the small pouch of gunpowder to the candle and Ash moves the old mans hand from the candle? That looks exactly like it's for the "The Two Towers" scenes in 2002 with Saruman and Wormtongue. I wonder if Peter Jackson got that from Army from Darkness?
Emily's humor perfectly matches this movie.
This is my favorite movie of all time! So happy y’all are watching :) thank you for this. I also swooned every time Ash came on screen. He’s dreamy.
My advice, pick up his autobiography, "If Chins Could Kill: Confessions Of A B-Movie Actor" for many, very welcome laughs and anecdotes.
@@jean-paulaudette9246 I have it! I also have a signed copy of his book Hail to the Chin! He is still very handsome in real life.
@@lovecrime13 Same here! *hi5
The actress that played Sheila is also the actress that played Miss Honey from the movie “Matilda” (1996).
Embeth Davitz. AOD and Bicentennial Man gave her a Lifetime pass for me. If she's in the movie, I'll check it out
Also, she played Helen Hirsch in “Schindler’s List”.
14:15 - *“Come on, now. That's clearly a mirror.”*
A mirror whose reflection was standing up, facing straight out of the mirror, while _Ash_ was sitting down, with his back half-turned. So, even without knowing what happens next, _something_ was clearly wrong there.
This
Plus, in the longer version, he sees a figure inside the windmill while he's outside.
I remember me and my mom watching this in the theater and looking at each other and saying Cool! When our town Grand Rapids, Michigan was mentioned as the manufacturing city of his boomstick.
Jiu-jitsaw made me spit out my drink laughing. And it was TOTALLY worth it! 👏👏👏🤣🤣🤣 GREAT to have y'all back!!!
Always know when Emily is 'concerned' - poor ole teddy gets a hug...
Emily's blue highlights are great and even matching her blue headphones. It has been so long since the last reactionn, glad to have E&M back.
So glad you showed her both endings. Story wise, I prefer the alternate ending. But the theatrical ending was just so much fun...and had one of my favorite lines. "Hail to the King, baby"
The whole Franchise is extremely well done I think and highly consistent in it's quality, but I think Army of Darkness might just be perfect (and surprisingly family friendly for an R-Rated Franchise) :D It is also one of the very rare cases were the cinematic version and the directors cut are equally good and offer different point of views for a watch, though the cinematic version fits perfectly with the amazing series!
I think this might be the video were you too laughed the most, that speaks for itself I think. Happy Eastergreetings from Germany!
There's something about animated skeletons that makes undead armies inherently hilarious.
I think they're puppets moved in a way to invoke stop motion. That used to be the technique to do monsters on all the old fantasy and legend and adventure movies, when they didn't put a guy in a suit. Today it's used in animation, see Nightmare before Christmas and the Wallace and Gromit movies.
The way to animate the skeletons in this film is a kind of tribute to the skeletons of the 1963 film Jason and the Argonauts.
When I play Dungeons and Dragons and our party finds itself in over their heads I can't help but use that skeletons voice at the end and exclaim "Let's get the hell out of here".
Happy to see you two back, and Bruce is really such a great actor and Sam Raimi might not be one of the best directors around but he understands the tone a movie should have, there are directors that make a horror comedy but always go more towards one or the other, but he really knows how to nail the perfect balance of both, with a sprinkle of batshit craziness in between.
This was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid and I still love it just as much now. It's a fun movie that is just a unique thrill ride from beginning to end. Thanks for the vid guys, also I'm loving the blue hair Emily. 💙

OMG, that's Ted Raimi, I didn't remember him. You might know him from the Daily Bugle scenes in the Spider-Man movies.
He plays 3 or 4 characters throughout the movie.
Yep, Sam loves to put Ted in his projects.
3 words: Xena: Warrior Princess
I'm watching this like three years late, but... I have to be that guy and say that, while Danny Elfman did work on this movie, he only created one piece of music for it, which is 'The March of the Dead'. The rest of the music is done by Joseph Loduca, who did the music for the first two films, the TV show in 2015, and the main theme for the 2020 video game.
Army of Darkness will always stand high on my alltime fave flicks list. Saw it in the theater with several buddies and that added to my overall enjoyment. Glad you guys enjoyed it!
The skeleton's lines were my favorite bit! constantly laughed at them the whole time.
I've watched this movie many, many time and am ashamed to say I just put together that Bad Ashe in the battle scene gave the Zena war cry (a homage to when Campbell worked with Lucy Lawless).
Such a fun movie and very quotable
I like the Rancor pit mentioned.
Jabba also had 3 SandSkiff guards named:
Klaatu
Baraata
Nikkto(sp?)
I owned all 3 action figs
I like all of them but this one is my favourite just because they really embraced the madness and one liners and humour that still holds up.
And the whole army of muttering skeletons, I mean, its the best. *angry dooting*
Great to see you guys back reacting! I remember seeing the original Evil Dead when it came to VHS back in the mid 80's and being totally confused by the Evil Dead Part 2 lol. Something for you to watch, maybe not on the list per se, Gamers; The Dorkness Rises and Journeyquest both from Zombie Orpheus Entertainment. I gather you both role play or are familiar with the genre and those series are comedy gold.
So glad you're back. And happy Emily is feeling better.
And that BOOM STICK was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan - 25 minutes from where I grew up!
Love this movie, also I vote for "Deadite Bastard" for the drink.
I love the final act of this movie, the "Sally forggh, Sally forggh... sally forth..." and basically ALL of the skeletons :-)
Looking forward to the next video, have a good one.
If only Ash had seen The Day the Earth Stood Still.
The words were Klaatu, Veratta Niktu. Not sure why they changed it up slightly from klaatu, Barada, Nikto from The Day the Earth stood still and star wars, but they did.
Sam Raimi is a magnificent director.
My man Joxer!
"When you a brat you gonna get what a brat deserves." o_O
BRIDGE 4!!! I literally just finished the first book The Way of Kings. So dam good!
I loved your review bur...LUNA STOLE THE VIDEO!! 🤣🐱👤
Fun fact: Duke Nukem 3D got the one liners from this movie.
Since I've bought no less than 3 versions of this movie on DVD (plus a VHS copy) I have to mention something. Everybody loves the whole "good, bad, I'm the one with the gun" thing but the alternate line *BOOM* "I ain't that good" is soo much better.
You've been gone...you've been gone awhile. I was worried. And now you're back, all of the sudden. Reacting to Army of Darkness??! Do you know how much I love you right now??!
Hey, welcome back, guys :)
Edit: you guys going to LOVE Ash vs Evil Dead series. It's hilarious, gory, and has cool soundtrack. It's everything. Not for the squeamish.
They're back! With great new hair too!
Don't see this on The List yet, Drag Me To Hell. Directed by Sam Rami and his return to horror after the Spider-Man trilogy.
Spider-Man trilogy includes its share of horror scenes. The Doctor Octopus hospital scene is more purely horror than anything in this movie.
Darkman is another good Rami movie.
Return is a bit mild. Yes Evil Dead was a fair effort in hard and really scary horror, but Drag me to Hell is far beyond that.
Another Great Reaction from yall, havnt seen this in years. Interesting sequel
This is probably one of the best reactions I have ever seen to this or to any movie ever. Emily is absolutely AMAZING! If I could sub again, I would.
Good to see you two back.
Not sure if it’s on your list, but I think Kung Fu Hustle is a great campy Kung Fu movie you should check out.
Love your reactions to these movies!
Ju-Jit-Saw! Absolutely Perfect, Emily! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Love her reactions...Good job guys
I worked at a video store with over 10,000 movies twenty years ago. My employee picks movie shelf had this movie on it. I don't know how many times I recommended this movie, but I recommended it to almost everyone. Those same customers always wanted recommendations after watching Army of Darkness. This movie used to be my all time favorite movie, until it became very popular, and it still is one my favorite movies. It's just weird how many people know it today, compared to back then.
I remember watching a making of this movie, before it came out, and it had the last fight scene where Good Ash and Evil Ash. This was back in 91 or 92. And, that fight scene really wanted me to watch that movie. I think it was on TBS or TNT or some channel like. The cellar scene from Evil Dead was recorded in my neck of the woods in Marshall, Michigan, which I didn't know until years later.
One of my other all time favorite movies is Commando, I think it might have the most kills in any movie or something like that, but still has some of the best one liners.

Being 60yrs old as of 4/1/21 ......
This phrase is like religion .......
Thank you mom....we all miss you, and thank you for being the scifi lover of our household when we were kids in the 60's.
Ay welcome back! And what a movie to come back with! So much fun. As a kid I think this was the first one I saw of the three so it has stuck with me the most. I also like the S-Mart ending. For me it makes sense that he'd still get the words wrong; yeah he got back to his own time, but now the Deadites have followed him. And, in his own way, he is a king.
