In case anyone is confused, this movie does pick up exactly where the first one ended if you skip straight to the part where Ash gets possessed. Everything before was supposed to be a recap of the first one but they didn't have the rights to the footage so they just reshot it and truncated the plot.

Another Bruce Campbell classic is Bubba Ho-tep. He plays a retired Elvis in a nursing home that has to fight a resurrected mummy. It's better than it sounds. It's based off a short story by Joe Lansdale. He has another movie based on his book Cold In July starring Dexter's Michael C Hall. It's crime movie set in the 80s. It's an underated watch.

@@erakfishfishfish it has some good laughs too. It covers a lot of ground. Underrated for sure. It was also Ossie Davis' last film too. He was great. The guy that wrote the short story is one of my favorite authors. He wrote a prequel called Bubba and the Cosmic Bloodsuckers. And if you like weird horror you should also check out his book The Drive-In. It gets bonkers (in the best way possible).

By the time you get to Army of Darkness, you get to see full boss warrior mode Ash, complete with the best one liners in the business. Ash is one of my favorite film characters of all time. Also, the guy in the dead grandma suit was the director's brother Ted Raimi, another fixture of Raimi films along with the car and Bruce Campbell appearances. You might as well go through all the Raimi films, you got a western, crime drama, horror, and superhero films. Darkman is his version of a dark superhero with a young and unknown at the time Liam Neason. He is an entertaining filmaker.

[@davidsanderson8677]

Hi, they didn’t have the rights to the footage from the first film, so the first 10 mins or so of this movie is a simplified remake/recap and then the story pretty much continues. The entire franchise constantly retcons itself in small ways, it’s one of its amazing quirks. Army of Darkness is one of the most quotable movies of all time and should not be missed. Great reaction by the way, Sam Raimi uses every trick in the book with special effects.

[@officialtheevildeadchannel8323]

FAKE INFO.

[@Johnny67557]

Nice little trivia that I didn't see anyone else mention. Most of the "inside the cabin" stuff was filmed inside an abandoned high school gym. No air conditioning, very hot. The floor of the "cabin" was actually 10 feet off the gym floor so they could make the fruit cellar. All the "blood" of all colors were water-based so the entire set could be hosed out after filming.

I don't know if you noticed, or if someone already pointed this out: when they were leafing through the Book of the Dead pages and Ash got a shiver & said it felt like someone walked over his grave, the page shown was the last shot of him crying out Nooooo! in the middle ages.

[@christopher4249]

Hey did you know the reason this is a requel is because, rami couldn’t get the rights to his own film the first evil dead because new line cinema owned it at the time and part 2 was distributed by De Laurentiis Entertainment Group w/ the company of Renaissance Pictures as the production company part, which is two completely different company distributors so they had to do a requal in the beginning of flashback sequences. Which would later on make some more plot holes later in the film from the first So really evil dead part 2 dead by dawn is kind of not a requel but a supposed to be sequel but ultimately not in the end because of copyright reasons.

[@vovindequasahi]

The way I like to see it is that the beginning up to when Ash is possessed is him being in a sort of alternative reality or hellish dream, while also being a sort of recap of how he got to that place. You have to remember that the reason for the insanity of it all is that the Lovecraftian Ancient Ones of the Necronomicon depicted are between the angles of dimensions and are the very definition of insanity and horrid nightmares.

Somebody must have said this already, but there is continuity, IF... In the original, Ash goes to cabin with his girlfriend Linda, his sister Sheryl and friend Scott and Scott's girlfriend Shelly. In Evil Dead 2, it's just Linda. So, ignore everything that happens in Evil Dead 2 until the point where Ash gets hit with the force, then... it all plays like a straight-up sequel. The reason why Raimi did this, was because of rights issues, New Line being distributor of Evil Dead 1, Dino De Laurentiis having the distribution rights to the sequel. So they worked around it, not having to deal with the messy legal issues.
