Editorial Reviews Amazon.com A movie that only true horror buffs could love, Army of Darkness is officially part 3 in the wild and wacky Evil Dead trilogy masterminded by the perversely inventive director Sam Raimi, who would later serve as executive producer of the popular syndicated TV series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Raimi's favorite actor, Bruce Campbell, returns as Ash (hero of the first two Evil Dead flicks), a hardware-store clerk who is magically transported--along with his beat-up Oldsmobile and a chainsaw attachment for his severed left forearm--to the brutal battlefields of the 14th century. He quickly assumes power (who else in the Middle Ages packs a shotgun and a chainsaw?), and unites his band of medieval knights against the dreaded Army of the Dead. Raimi gleefully subverts almost every horror-movie clichι as he serves up a nonstop parade of blood, gore, and vicious sword-bearing skeletons--an affectionate homage to animator Ray Harryhausen's classic Jason and the Argonauts. The frantic action is fun while it lasts, but even at 80 minutes Army of Darkness nearly wears out its welcome. You know that Raimi can maintain the mayhem for only so long before it grows tiresome, and fortunately this madcap movie quits while it's ahead. --Jeff Shannon --This text refers to the VHS Tape edition.

Army Of Darkness is the third movie in the Evil Dead series and
possibly the last. Whether it's the last or not, it's awesome! The first
was a way cool movie, and so was the second, and this didn't disappoint.
It's got a pretty good plot that deals with Ash being sent back to the
medieval ages where he teams up with Knights to fight Deadites and
Skeleton Warriors. Lots of carnage ensues. AOD is not a very scary movie,
but it sure is funny at times (like when Ash fights a whole bunch of
mini-Evil Ashs') and is so entertaining. Evil Ash was one cool (and nasty)
villain and the one-liners are as good as ever ("Good, Bad, I'm The Guy
With The Gun") . Plus, the action scenes are so awesome, like the Ash Vs.
Pit Deadites and the finale, wow! What a great finale! The ending scene is
cool and is a nice way to wrap up this fantastic trilogy. Bruce Campbell
turns in yet another terrific performance as Ash and is only rivaled by
his performance in Evil Dead 2. Overall Army Of Darkness is simply an
awesome movie that's a great way to wrap up the Evil Dead trilogy and will
no doubt provide Horror fans and moviegoers alike loads of fun and
entertainment. Buy all three movies, Evil Dead is one of the greatest
movie trilogies ever and is right up there with Star Wars! --This text

It's tough to decide which edtion to get, since there are several
editions of the dve. I picked up the 'Official Bootleg Edition' which has
the more fitting original ending. The alternate ending (ie, the theatrical
ending) isn't included on the dvd under a different heading, which I think
is a mistake. Yes, play the movie with the original ending, but under the
special features they should have the alternate ending that everyone has
seen. There are deleted scenes, with or without commentary, and you can
see what has been removed. Most was a good idea to take out, but I really
wish that they had kept the windmil/tiny Ash scene to the original length.
The commentary by Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi (and later in the
commentary co-writer Ivan Raimi shows up) is great. It's informative and
you can hear the friendship between these men. Any fan of the Evil Dead
movies should have this one, and definitely get an edition with the
original ending. --This text refers to the DVD
