"Groovy."

What's your favorite Evil Dead movie? Mine would be Evil Dead 2 with AoD a close second.

~~Leo656~~ · 09-21-2003, 05:31 PM

Same here... I actually found Ash's freak-out in the cabin more scary than what most horror movies refer to as "scary"... but then again I've always been a fan of more "psychological" horror, and that whole scenario came off as very creepy to me. "We just hacked our girlfriend to pieces with a chainsaw...... does that sound FINE?"

AoD is my 2nd favorite, as it's hilarious, and it pisses me off that a ton of people have seen AoD but have no idea it's actually the third part of a trilogy.

Well, what DO they think it is?

And you finally have a dissenter here: AOD was my favorite (mainly because it was the first one I saw, and it was also the least 'B-Movieish' of the three too).

~~Leo656~~ · 09-21-2003, 06:28 PM

Most of my friends saw AoD and loved it, but had no idea it was part of a trilogy at all. They just thought it was a really great, dumb, funny movie. And I mean it DOES stand on its own really well, but still... I'unno...

I also find that most people who see AoD first do prefer it to the others, while people more familiar with ED 1 and 2 are less fond of AoD (some outright hate it). I love 'em all, but I can see both arguments. AoD definitely had the best lines, that's for sure.

I think the only thing 99% of fans agree on was the "alternate" ending was pretty bad...

*cqb101* · 09-21-2003, 06:37 PM

I saw AoD first, and I like Evil Dead 2 more..oh well......The alternate ending was the one where he drank the extra drop and ended up in the future, right?

~~Leo656~~ · 09-21-2003, 06:40 PM

Yeah. That's the one Sam Raimi refuses to sign at conventions because he likes to pretend it doesn't exist.

*cqb101* · 09-21-2003, 06:46 PM

What was the original ending? The future one is the only one I've seen....

~~Leo656~~ · 09-21-2003, 07:04 PM

Poor guy....

In the "normal" ending, Ash ends up back in his own time and gets his job back at S-Mart, and gets flirty with a new girl. Nobody believes his story about his battles with the demons. Suddenly, a demon appears in the store threatening to swallow Ash's soul...

Classic exchange #1

"Who the hell are YOU?"
"Name's Ash... Housewares."

Ash blows the demon away and muses to himself, "I coulda stayed in the past. Coulda even been King. But... in another way... maybe I am King." He then takes the girl in his arms and utters the classic phrase, "Hail to the King, Baby," and kisses her, and the movie ends.

I'm gonna ask Rez for forgiveness in advance if one or two words are off here, since I haven't watched the movie in about 4 months and the only movie I know every minute word of dialog to is either of the Young Guns flicks.

EDIT: If I'm not mistaken the future ending was the "original" ending shown to test audiences, but they and the studio didn't like it, so the more well-known ending was shot, and everyone (including Raimi and the rest of the crew) liked it better, and the "future" ending was reduced to bootleg copies until the DVDs came out. I own two versions of AoD on DVD, one with only the (commonly called) Apocalypse Ending, and one with both endings and some of the alternate footage shown on TV airings of the film.

Basically, to see ALL of AoD you have to get like every version of it on DVD.

ARMY OF DARKNESS is my fav!

*damnhooligan* · 09-22-2003, 04:14 AM

Army of Darkness is far and away my favourite, but I really do love ED2 quite dearly. It's chock fulla Ted Raimi goodness, even though he is kinda... a half-naked evil dead woman during most of the film. He did pop a number of cameos in AOD though. Gotta love Ted! Hell, gotta love Bruce too!

Caster_Troy · 09-22-2003, 04:41 AM

AoD is my fave because there is just so much Ash in it... then there is the Deadite Ash... I also really liked #2... One was... well it was #1... still good, and a killer B movie... but it was lacking Ash's great lines. And a chick got it on with a tree... not cool... pointy

*That Matt Guy* · 09-22-2003, 06:56 AM

I like Army of Darkness the most, probably because I cried with laughter when I saw it for the first time.

Hey, don't look at me! I've only seen it twice!

*The Stryker* · 09-22-2003, 03:23 PM

Evil Dead 1

Ash was more serious and it had more of a horror flick vibe

the rest became a goddamn comedy series

Fugitoid Jones · 09-22-2003, 10:25 PM

I love AoD. I mean, Evil Dead was an amazing horror film, scares the **** outta me, and Evil Dead 2 is good because it was an amazing blend of horror and splatt-stick, but I love Army of Darkness, because it was soo quirky and cool. The whole scene with him battling the mini-Ashes, and then trying the 3 different Nechronomicons(sp?) it's just classic.

"Klatu...verata...ne-....."

"Alright little fella, how about some nice hot chocolate!"

"I've got news for you pal, you ain't leading but two things right now, jack and ****, and jack left town!"

~~Reznorite420~~ · 09-23-2003, 08:00 AM

Who can forget: "Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun."

That, and not to mention Embeth Davidtz was hot IMO in the movie

"Gimme some sugar baby!"

~~Leo656~~ · 09-23-2003, 03:23 PM

"You found me beautiful once..."
"Lady... you got REAL ugly..."

I cought AoD on the TV some years ago, and watched it without any knowledge of Evil Dead in general. My reaction was basically: "What the heck was that?!"
