Army of Darkness - Movie Review

[@bigsmoke4592]

if they called it "Medieval Dead" it would have been a hit.

[@xtrordinarygrl15]

I love that idea and agree with you. However it would have sounded too cheesy.

[@yowatchie]

@@xtrordinarygrl15 That perfectly aligns with the series’ vibe.

[@danielflynn8530]

It could be named that on a foreign film. Sometimes name titles change in different countries such as in Australia like the Mighty Ducks 🇺🇸 👉🇦🇺 Champions

[@briansmith8898]

@@danielflynn8530 Fun fact: one of the foreign titles for Army of Darkness (Japan, I think) was "Captain Supermarket".

I was 21 when this film came out and saw it in the theaters. I had never seen the Evil Dead films, so this was my first experience with Sam Rami and Bruce Campbell. I fell in love with this film and not long after I rented Evil Dead 1 and 2 from the video store to see the events leading up to it. This is one of my favorite trilogies.

[@Sharkman1963]

A true classic. "Hail to the king, baby."

Chris giving us an Army of the Dead review before an Evil Dead 2 review. He can't keep getting away with it!

I'll always remember randomly renting this with my family, not knowing exactly what it was, and then laughing together all the way through it. There's still nothing quite like this movie.

[@moseslovesk]

This was my experience, too. I had no idea it was part of a trilogy, and didn't watch the earlier films until years later. Now they are my favorites.

[@majinsole8554]

How have I gone this long without knowing about that alternate title?!?! MEDIEVAL DEAD IS SO DAMN AWESOME!!!! ~_~

[@joshpinchuk7061]

I didn't know Spider-Man had the homage line to army of darkness. Nice!

[@dancingdog60]

Bruce Campbell has a cameo role in all of Raimi's Spider-Man films. He's even got a cameo in Doctor Strange 2. =)

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Never caught that either & I’ve seen both movies many, many times.

[@360.Tapestry]

always thought it was weird for peter parker to say that... now it makes more sense

[@SaneGuySports]

What a great idea to watch tonight with my family. On point as always Mr. Stuckmann. Cheers to you Bro.

[@DJmicaiah]

I’m so happy you decided to review army of darkness on Halloween! It is so underrated and has so many quotable lines. It is great!

[@slckb0y65]

An absolute timeless masterpiece, saw it hundreds of times, and plan to do hundreds times more. Hail to the king and gimme some sugar baby!

[@SuperPlastered]

“You ain’t in charge of Jack Shit, and Jack left town.” I still use that line to this day!! Haha

[@scottyboyrulez]

Well, then you're using it wrong lol. The actual line is "You ain't in charge of but 2 things, Jack & shit and Jack left town."

Wow ending this Halloween special with one of the greatest films ever? Nice choice Chris. Also as always I’m bummed about the special ending. It’s also my favorite thing you do on the channel.

Or an extra from "The Village"?.

[@dlumyoung09]

Upon watching the Evil Dead trilogy, one thought immediately popped into my mind: "Why has no one ever called up Sam Raimi to make a He-Man and the Masters of the Universe movie?"

[@cheneethompson5756]

Your kids were wizards? How cute! Isn't Halloween great? I'm sure your wife was a beautiful witch!

[@arilumani6194]

Happy Halloween Chris🎃👻🕷🕸🧛‍♂️🦇🧙‍♀️

[@veritas7248]

One of my absolute favorites! I really like the Ash vs Evil Dead series too. It felt like such a good continuation of Army of Darkness. The ending to that is perfect for the the entire Evil Dead saga if you know what I mean.

[@Advent3546]

Few moments out of any movie feel as Halloweeny as the Skeleton army and the accompanying band. Happy Halloween Chris!

[@Zombiesnyder13]

Sam Raimi was too good for the MCU

[@ChristianHallenbeck2002]

Which is why Multiverse of Madness was actually great and even better than the first film.

[@Thiccythiccreads]

I hate that we’ll never see the darker version of that movie…

[@joshpinchuk7061]

​@@ChristianHallenbeck2002when you made that comment I looked up the IMDb review and it's 6.9. That's really hard to believe considering most people I know would say multiverse of madness was terrible.

[@sindrisnrsigursson3079]

The Human Condition trilogy!! Absolutely, perfect trilogy

[@paradisecity0406able]

Why does Stuckmann look like he's cosplaying as the Green Knight?

[@dreadroberts5627]

Army of Darkness is straight up live-action Looney Tunes! I believe watching it with that mindset makes it more enjoyable.

[@jasonmcmurtry7812]

I remember going to Blockbuster with my aunt in the early 90s. I saw the VHS box art of Army Of Darkness, not knowing it was last movie in a trilogy lol. I had no idea till I got to high school in 96 and my friend was like oh yeah that's Evil Dead trilogy. I always wondered why the begging made no sense lol. Awesome movie.

[@totodiledundee6354]

Thank you for this! It’s one of my all time favorite classics!

[@JrtheKing91]

This movie literally found me and it became one of my all-time favorite films of all time.

Dude, The Medieval Dead sounds incredible.

[@nabeelmirza6060]

This truly is one of the best trilogies ever. Thanks for another great Halloween special Chris.

[@The_Knight_Mayor]

I have the OG cover - The Medieval Dead. I had a friend send it to me from overseas. Evil Dead franchise- I love every single movie and all 3 seasons of the Ash v ED show.

[@Mar.wanJaniol]

You’re super talented, don't stop making this type of content!

[@jaydedartsph]

The dark ending makes the film much shocking the first time watching 😂

[@HOLYPARISHOFDOOM]

While I couldn't help but loving it due to how funny it is & how it incorporates so many genre trappings, I admit to leaving the theater wishing it hadn't quite so drastically abandoned the more grizzly horror aspects that defined the first two. I saw the original over the winter of 83/84, and it remains my fave.

[@andrewgoode4371]

My Halloween costumes are always a twist on a classic character. Two years ago I took my graduation outfit and made a grad day ghostface. Last year I was Michael Myers takes a vacation. It’s always fun to do a little twist

[@joeiorio9654]

[@simonflood23]

Really love this movie. I prefer it more than the first.

[@JKershaw]

I wish Ash vs Evil Dead would've lasted longer then 3 seasons

[@moseslovesk]

YESSS!!! This is one of my all time favorites. All three of the originals are. I'm excited to watch this!

[@wrongwaywilson]

I am a huge fan of the first two movies (the second one is a near perfect film), the two newer ones, and the TV show which has one of the greatest endings ever but I never could get into Army of Darkness. It sticks out from the rest to me as an attempt to appeal to a more general movie going audience which is fine but it just feels so different from the rest of the films that I don't really consider it part of the franchise, it feels more like the made for TV kids' cartoon version of Evil Dead.

[@carlossosa2907]

Thank you Chris, Happy Halloween 👽

[@NoahChinnBooks]

The theatrical ending is better if you see it as the end of the series. Had it kept going, the director's cut would be a great setup. I can't truly see it as a trilogy, though, since ED1 and 2 are essentially the same movie, so I tend to watch ED2 and AoD back to back ;)

[@SinMidnight]

I quote this movie more than any other movie. It's so darn good.

[@BloodyBobJr]

Army of darkness is my fav in this trilogy. But I had a strange way of watching it..cause I saw Army 1st then Evil dead 2 then 1 lol. So I watched it in reverse order as a younger kid. I love history, love medival settings, love sword and magic fantasy and Army of darkness has it all. Bruce Campbell is firing on all cylinders in this movie..damn Masterpiece

[@SoftMittCheck]

Absolutely one of my favorites

[@mug9468]

I tried to convince my friends to come to this movie with me when it came out. I ended up watching it alone in the theatre with a few other strangers. Well, it's their loss, I had great laughs and left the cinema with a grin in my face.

[@fictionfisher7869]

Been waiting for this review for years!!

[@usamashah2450]

“Oh, you miserable bags of bones! Pick yourselves up and sally fo-, sally for-, sally forth.” This movie is just so much fun to watch

[@stevenallan5822]

Groovy. Still great and then Ash v Evil dead series came along. Bruce Campbell is a legend.

[@RafaelHernandez-or8wj]

You should review The Barn from 2016 for a future Halloween special. It's probably the most underrated Halloween themed movie of all time. A true hidden gem of a film that has all the Halloween vibes we're looking for this time of year.

[@colinmatzkows5839]

I recommend Ash Vs Evil Dead if you haven't seen it. It's awesome.

[@Neat0_o]

I was literally waiting for him to mention that it was going to be called the midevil dead… Man, I really wish they would’ve named it that

[@Epicgorilla101]

Oh man “The Medevil Dead” would’ve been a great title.

[@Bag-Of-Hammers]

I saw this film 3 times in the theater. I loved Evil Dead 1 and 2 and this movie delivered. Ash : "Well hello Mister Fancypants. Well, I've got news for you pal, you ain't leadin' but two things, right now: Jack and shit....And Jack left town". I use that line to this day.

A review that is loooong overdue 😁🎃

[@adamdavis1737]

Original star honestly I love Evil Dead, but I don't really think it's a great trilogy considering the second movie is basically a beat for beat remake only far more entertaining. I don't ever rewatch the first one. If I were to view it as a trilogy, the TV show would be the way that I consider it capped off. But this movie is so fun

[@wakeangel2001]

This is actually my favorite of the trilogy, mostly because it goes hard with the action and comedy

[@gorrbaczow]

That vest looks really good on you!

[@benhrkach]

Your costume isn't stupid! It's super cool!

[@Pickoffarwim]

The peak of Ash Williams imo

[@SeanIdland]

You should do a Christmas/Holiday version of this

[@gzzuss]

The Medieval Dead? Why, why they changed? I lost something that I didn't know I could have 😅

[@1977Eelco]

Love The Village too, to watch during Halloween (the Autumn feel of the movie is great) :) Other movies I often watch during Halloween: Signs (2002), Halloween (1978), Sleepy Hollow (1999), The Thing (1982), Scream (1996), A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) and Friday the 13th (1980). Army of Darkness (1992) is also an awesome movie...so many insane stuff happening in the movie! :)

I love all 5 of the Evil Dead movies! I kinda wish Raimi would come back to direct a future one, but I'm very happy with the newer Evil Dead movies as well

[@hawk12983]

Has become one of my all-time favorite movies. I actually enjoy the lighter tone compared to the rest of the series.

[@starlancer2386]

As soon as I saw that yellow cloak, I knew it was a Village reference.

[@samiritbanik1504]

One of the most fun films, a very enjoyable sequel which is pure nostalgia now.

[@Josh-pf9qx]

The scene where the eye is popping out of the shoulder makes me ill every time. Don't know why, but truly bothers me lol

[@corewarrior]

Medieval Dead would've been an incredible title. Great time this year, btw. Great costume!

[@ryandowney9383]

I love the original ending best, with Ash waking up in the post apocalyptic future because of his own mistake. And my most fondest wish is that they had made a Freddy vs Jason vs Ash based on that ending, where Freddy and Jason teaming up after Freddy vs Jason are the reason for the apocalypse.

[@CintiaJigs]

The music slaps, great choice!

[@velko2433]

[@perceivedvelocity9914]

Evil Dead 1 and 2 are basically the same movie. Army of Darkness is pure insanity. I love all three. I'll be honest I normally skip the first one because the second one is so similar.
