People hate on it, but I love the 2013 Evil Dead, and Evil Dead 2 is probably one of my most rewatched movies of all time. Can't wait!

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

The series is hilarious, and thoroughly gross as hell. It's three relatively short seasons, and the episodes are just half an hour each, so it shouldn't take too long to get through.

He was great in that show (and his character, Sam Axe, even got his own TV movie 😁)...

I also agree that Darkman was good superhero type film (and even sort of like a precursor to Raimi's Spider-Man), they did make two sequels to Darkman (but staring Arnold Vosloo from the Mummy movies instead of Liam Nelson from the fist one). The sequels are enjoyable (even if they are DTV direct-to-video).

Another horror-comedy in the EVIL DEAD vein is TALES FROM THE CRYPT: DEMON KNIGHT. It's super bloody and gross but also incredibly funny. It's a dynamite B-side from the 90s that a lot of people talk about but almost none of the reactor community knows about. Definitely worth a spin.

Just a little note. The stop motion FX in the movie are a nod to legendary stop motion artist Ray Harryhausen and the skeletons are a nod to his film Jason and the Argonauts, which is a film I highly recommend you guys watch.

I have great memories of seeing this in theaters in 1992...laughed my ass off.

[@crawlie]

This movie was just so insanely entertaining. The mixing gunpowder scene in this film - you can see Peter Jackson's nod to Raimi (and this movie) in The Two Towers when Saruman is making the Helm's Deep bomb, and Wormtongue brings the candle over to get a better look.

[@jentoby73]

Bruce Campbell, “Hail to the king, baby.” He’s great in everything he’s in. A gem unknown to many outside of his fans is the movie “Bubba Ho-tep.” I don’t think anyone has reacted to it, and I think you would both enjoy it, so I’m throwing it out there :)

Great suggestion! Then again, pretty much anything with Bruce Campbell is a good suggestion.

[@f0rth3l0v30fchr15t]

21:37 You can thank Ray Harryhausen for 'angry' skulls. IIRC they first appeared in 1963's Jason and the Argonauts, in a scene where the titular Jason and 2 of his crew fight 7 stop-motion skeletons. Human skulls don't have particularly prominent brow ridges, which made the skulls... not really expressive. Exaggerating the feature makes them look angry.

[@WarriorPoet01]

From the teeth of the hydra 😁

[@LordVolkov]

I saw Army of Darkness as a preteen and loved it. The humor is so good and it's fairly family friendly fun. I love all the little skeleton quips and the villager ADR. Between this and Holy Grail, my love of anachronistic medieval fun was cemented at an early age. And we get yet another Linda 😅 This time, a cameo from the gorgeous Bridget Fonda. So glad you watched the theatrical! I think the combination of comedic editing and the S-Mart ending makes it the best of the versions.

[@WastedPo]

The actress you sort of recognized was Embeth Davidtz. She's been in a ton of stuff, but you possibly remember her as Miss Honey from "Mathilda." She was also in "Schindler's List" (which came out a year after "Army of Darkness").

[@courtneyvaldez7903]

If y’all are up to it….HIGHLY recommend Ash vs. The Evil Dead, the Starz show. Does a great job of continuing and expanding upon the lore 30 years later. It also plays around with the constant retconning of the universe in fun ways. And we get more Bruce Campbell as Ash, which is always gold.

[@flatebo1]

"Klaatu berada nikto" is one of the most famous phrases in science fiction. In the scifi classic The Day the Earth Stood Still it is the command Klaatu tells Helen Benson to give to the robot Gort in order to prevent Gort from destroying the Earth. So of course Ash doesn't know it. And couldn't be bothered to write it down. By now, with cableTV killing off local independant TV stations that played reruns of cheap movie classics like they did in the 1970s/80s younger folk aren't as familiar with older genre classics. When I was a kid independant stations would have dedicated scifi movie time slots on Friday nights and/or Saturday or Sunday mornings as well as time slots dedicated to action/war movies, westerns/John Wayne movies, etc. One local station in Phoenix for example had John Wayne Theater on Saturday afternoons - every week a John Wayne movie.

[@Eidlones]

The fall of tv and the advent of internet, where the majority of media is recommended to you through an algorithm, seems to be really segmenting media off into different groups. Like, before when something was popular, even if you didn't watch/listen/etc to something, you were aware of its existence. These days, there'll be multiple youtube channels with 20mil subscribers, that MANY people have literally never heard of before. Everything's in it's own section of the internet, mostly invisible to anyone outside of that bubble.

@@Theomite I'm German and was like - "what accent?" I know Terry-Thomas best from the movie "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines". Watched is as a child often when it came on TV.

[@SoshiMECH]

I seem to remember that the original title for Army of Darkness was the Medieval Dead but I think the studio wanted the film to be standalone which is why it wasn't called it the Medieval Dead or Evil Dead 3 and a lot of people that saw Army of Darkness never saw Evil Dead or realised it was connected to the Evil Dead movies. But the Medieval Dead would have been an awesome title that would have connected it to the other Evil Dead movies!

[@JW666]

You need to show Samantha the uncut ending, a.k.a the original bad ending. Before Ash vs. Evil Dead (which you should react to), the 4th movie in the form of a TV-show, there was a 4th movie in the form of a video game, which is Evil Dead: Hail to the King (it was released on Sega Dreamcast and PS1). Storywise it took place after Army of Darkness and Bruce Campbell voices Ash in the game. The game got a sequel, Evil Dead: A Fistfull of Boomstick, released on PS2 and Xbox, it takes place after the 1st game and Bruce Campbell voicing Ash again. There was another game, Evil Dead: Regeneration (which is a great game! Released on PS2 and Xbox), but that one was more of a "What If"-sequel, as in what if Ash never traveled back in time. Not only does Campbell voice Ash, but Ted Raimi even voices a comedic sidekick midget half deadite named Sam =) And now there's Evil Dead: The Game, have no idea what the plot is on the story mode, but it's only created just to have multiplayer, but who wants to play as the other characters, I wanna play as Ash!

There exist an alternative ending The one you saw is the "Good" ending, the one that Raimi and the crew shoot, after the first ending they made was not received very well by the audiences in the US(or was it in the UK?...can't remember) The "Bad" ending, has Ash, drinking the botion, reciting the words..., but the difference is that the potion can not send him back to the future, only put him in a Stasis sleep for centuries, and he should have woken up back in his own time. But off course..., the words... So he ends up, re-awakening from his slumber, in a crypt, with a 6 foot long beard and his throat parched, for him to get out and see that the world is destroyed around him, the Apocalypse did happen and he slept through, making him the last living man on earth, amongst the ruins of the old world. Audiences thougth that this ending was too depressing, so Raimi and the Crew did this new ending for the other countries release of the movie, wich was much better received and became the "canon" ending.

Fun facts: the mini Bruce Campbells were played by Bruce and two body doubles in Bruce Campbell masks. -They only had enough money to make one explodable skeleton. So they painstakingly reassembled the skeleton after every use and blew him up again. -The three magic words are from "The day the earth Stood Still". -Ted and Ivan Raimi have cameos in this film. At first I thought Ted had a dual role but no, that's Ivan. -This movie has two endings. One where Ash returns to his normal time but deadites exist as well and one where Ash returns too late and the deadites have destroyed the earth. -The deadite suit actors were dancers from a local ballet school. They needed people slender enough to pass for reanimated dead AND were good at following complex directions.

[@williamwhalen746]

"Evil Dead II" is my all-time favorite movie. I love the entire trilogy and, yes, each film retcons the previous entry. Bruce Campbell is at the top of my actor list. Linda in "Army of Darkness" is played by Bridget Fonda, a star in her own right. Check out "Single White Female." I own the Ash giant action figure which comes with a chainsaw and boomstick. Another great Bruce Campbell vehicle is "Bubba-Ho-Tep" which is closest to "Evil Dead II" in tone. And one last recommendation with an "Evil Dead" feel is "Bad Taste," the first film directed by Peter Jackson (some of you may have seen his "Lord of the Rings" trilogy). Peter Jackson also acts in this film.

The theatrical cut has the right ending that leads to the TV series. This movie references a bunch of old movies. Including The Day the Earth Stood Still, Jason and the Argonauts, and, of course, The Three Stooges. It also references an old Japanese horror film called The Manster (that's where they got the eye in the shoulder). All well worth seeing (maybe a handful of Three Stooges shorts, but make sure they have Curly). You should definitely watch the TV series Ash vs the Evil Dead. There are three seasons. Maybe after The Boys. BTW, the reason it's less graphic is they were trying to get a PG-13 rating. Didn't work.

the "Jason and the Argonauts" style you're referencing are the monster effects that Ray Harryhausen put into a lot of movies, from Jason and the Argonauts to Clash of the Titans and many more, dude was ahead of his time and i'd argue that his effects look better than some CGI that's done today.

[@soranraina4391]

Always so epic hearing Ash saying "Hail to the King, baby."

[@waynecanning4122]

I saw this movie in the theater. Still one of my favorite “horror” movies of all time.

[@ninjavigilante5311]

Horror movie? It's more a horror comedy action movie lol

[@youdoitillwatch]

I also saw this in the theater. I hadn't even heard of "Evil Dead" but it didn't much matter. It was great on its own.

[@Swonder1972]

Yep...saw it my first year of college. My friends were like "lets go watch Evil Dead 3" and I was like "What?!. It was fantastic on the big screen. T2 and Jurassic Park came out around that time. This and a few other movies, Bramstrokers Dracula for one, were made in an old school fashion. The directors were celebrating classic effects instead of CGI. This is all analog or in camera effects. It makes it even more special because it took so much work. But I think it makes it better and way more cool...

20:05 They came from Rob Tapert according to Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell in the commentary. Rob apparently always wanted to see "naked girls being led around in chains."

[@jeremystevens6640]

I was just about to take a nap but it can wait I was waiting for this reaction thank you tbr Schmitt and Samantha my day/night is now complete ✌️❤️😚☺️

[@m.hunterstevie2081]

After not saying the proper words, Ash’s bargaining with whatever disembodied force is there is just great… followed by his indignant reaction when the army begins to rise. “Hey! I said the words!” 🤣

[@jeremystevens6640]

I am writing this to help out tbr Schmitt and Samantha and this video and this channel with the algorithm ✌️❤️😚☺️

[@Thagomizer]

Have you guys ever heard of Götz von Berlichingen? He shows that Ash's medieval gauntlet prosthetic isn't as implausible as you might think.

[@stewmass3018]

One movie to add to your Halloween list this year to check out his House (1985) starring William Katt. It's a great horror comedy.

[@MLJ7956]

That is a fun entertaining movie.... The sequel - House II: The Second Story (1987) is pretty good too 😉

[@mithrasrevisited4873]

Those 3 words (Klaatu Barada Niktoto) open the book are from the old movie "When the World stood still". It was to stop the robot from destroying earch and rescue the alien. It made me laugh at the theater whereas others had no idea.

[@collapsing_star]

Hope you guys react to Ash vs Evil Dead. Also, another Bruce Campbell movie you should react to is Bubba Ho-Tep.

[@StCerberusEngel]

It's hard to say anything about this, really. So many one-liners. So many memorable bits. Such gratuitous slapstick. Hail to the king, baby.

[@robertwrase6026]

Now that you’ve have seen Rami’s dead trilogy, if you watch his later films like his Spider-Man trilogy you will still see that chaotic style used in those films. The scene ins Spider-Man 2 where doc OcK is in the hospital is pure evil dead inspired.

[@dabegmister]

Show the great childhood memories of walking up to the gas station to get snacks and drinks I come back and watch this on TV when I was a kid with my friends

[@_eclipz_]

One of the best movies ever lol

[@reemsash698]

I worked on the mechanical effects via Spectacular Effects Intl. on ED II and ED III, Army of Darkness. Bruce Campbell is/was a great guy. He got the hell beat of him on all 3 movies.

[@Wash869]

Recommendation for you to react: [•REC] (2007), great movie!

[@jeremystevens6640]

Oh hell ya I hope they watch that LOL 🤣😂😈

[@cv8167]

This is my favorite Bruce Campbell role. My second favorite is his appearances in the TV Hercules series starring Kevin Sorbo.

[@calemobrien1139]

This one was the first of the franchise i saw as a kid and i remembered loving it! Then i went back and saw 1 then 2 and from there i've been hooked with this franchise! Thank you both some much for covering this franchise! I think other reviewers tend to shy away from these films but i'm glad you two are open enough to give them a go! Hopefully somewhere down the line you check out the incredible tv show Ash vs Evil Dead but until then...Shop Smart, Shop S-Mart B)

[@JackOiswatching]

I had the same progression, seeing this one first and then going back to the other two. And I'll throw in another vote for reacting to Ash Vs. Evil Dead, it's a really fun show!

[@quatz1981]

Bruce Campbell's convention panels are hilarious. He's naturally funny and always insults his fans (for fun ofcourse). You can find many of them on youtube. The man is literally funnier than most comedians.

[@dukedude7460]

Hey guys, love the reaction as always! I like to think of the three movies having different backstory is because Ash doesn’t remember the details due to the evil’s influence

[@jonathansloan1996]

This movie was actually my introduction to the Evil Dead series. Knew nothing about it before., but I've loved every part of the series since

[@KIKO-xy8ix]

Ohh.. I never realized the actress who plays Sheila played Helen Hirsch in Schindler's List (the jewish woman Goth kept as his housekeeper, abused, and tried to take with him after his camp was shut down).

Sam's brother Ted was in this many times as different characters. Sam also gave him a role in the Toby McGuire Spiderman.

The Evil Dead series, due to legal shenanigans, has had a lot of issues of continuing from one iteration to the next flawlessly. It's created some....oddities that many fans have had fun making theories on, including Bruce Campbell himself.

[@WoahLookAtThatFreak]

This was great, loved seeing you guys react to this trilogy. Hope to see you guys watch the Ash vs Evil Dead series.

[@jimmybonez7528]

Definitely consider watching the show, it's almost a perfect in between of Army of Darkness and Evil Dead 2, with more horror elements but equally as stupid dialog and slap shtick action

[@ventriloquistvance2388]

The actress who plays the leading lady Sheila is Embeth Davidtz. Some of us know her as Miss Honey from Matilda.

[@david7331s]

After two "Wife's first time" this week there should be a Husband's first time watching Ghost (Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore). ^^

[@jeremystevens6640]

God I hope they see that movie 🙏

[@Channel-rb5hr]

Hello from Anchorage Alaska I enjoy watching your reaction to movies I grew up with. This November I will turn 70 years old I say this so you will understand in my younger days our theaters had giant screens, so our visual was so much more intense. Our local theater was so big that it had 3 entries left center or right so Apocalypse Now napalm scene went from one side of building to the other side. JAWS the shark scene was Huge 146 degree arc and close to 98 feet tall . So what I saw was not what you see these days. Top Gun was AWESOME so keep up your videos

[@Redd21481]

That was really good. My favorite one out of the 3 but can't wait for yall to start the Ash vs. The Evil Dead series on Netflix. Keep up the terrific work 👌 👏 👍

[@Tuckster1979]

Definitely have to check out Bubba Hotep for another great Bruce Campbell movie

[@acereporter73]

This movie is so dumb... *15 out of 10; I freakin love it!!!*

[@UltimateGamerCC]

even in the 90's Ray Harryhausen's effects look great in movies, that guy was ahead of his time by decades.

[@grize9999]

Snuck in to see this in theater when it came out, love this movie.

[@jhilal2385]

the 'magic' phrase "Klaatu Barada Nikto" is from the classic sci-fi movie "The Day The Earth Stood Still"

[@1938superman]

Perfect timing. I'm literally working my way through season 2 of Ash vs. Evil Dead. If you like these, give it a try. Good comedy and horror. Enjoying it. But be prepared. You thought the movies went to crazy places. 🤣

[@eolson1964]

The three words Ash to be recited in order to retrieve the Necronomicon, Klaatu Barada Nicto are actually from the movie The Day The Earth Stood Still(1952) and were used to stop Klatuu's robot Gort from destroying soldiers.
