Army of Darkness
« on: January 25, 2004, 12:43:53 PM »
So friday night this movie was on AMC. And I found it to be a pretty good movie. Altough I can tell this wasn't the first of these movies to have Ash in them. I guess those are the "Evil Dead" movies, correct? I was given a small amount of background on the going-ons of Ash, why he lost his hand, where he works, etc.

I thought this at first was going to be one of those scary zombie movies. To which I say I dislike them all. Resident Evil, House of the Dead, those sorts. But this movie was very good.

Yeah, the first Evil Dead tried to be a real movie (albeit B-quality). The second one re-wrote the first one during the first 5 minutes, and then proceded on to the good stuff. Unless you REALLY want to see a B-grade horror movie, or you REALLY love Sam Raimi and/or Bruce Campbell, just watch ED2.

Heh, I liked the part shortly there after. Where he was trying to remember the word and just sort of coughed instead.

And then there is the sequal to army of darkness "Hail to the King baby!" which was a video game that bruce Campbell helped make.  And it;s the sequal because, well Bruce said so.

from what I understand, there are several AoD related video games that use at least Bruce's voice.

there are 2, but hail to the king is the only one that is considered a sequal to the movies.
