    In October I've attended a live commentary with Bruce Campbell for this film and he mentioned why this is a R rated movie...because it has Skeletons....that's it. That's why it's marked with a R rating.

    I think Army of Darkness works perfectly as a standalone movie. In fact my friends and I had seen it in the theater 3 times before I even knew it was related to the Evil Dead movies.

  • @MrWinthrup
    @MrWinthrup Před 8 měsíci +29

    Others may have said it, but I like to think that Ash gets wackier with each movie because he's going more and more insane. So much happens to him that he can't function in normal society anymore, and that's why he's at his coolest when he's killing demons, because it's all he knows now.

      Ooohhh, I don't know. The funniest thing I ever heard on a commentary track came from that one. Bruce was relating that during one scene he was riding his horse next to a cliff. Someone expressed some concern and Sam Rami said "That's alright. We can get another horse." -- I laughed my ass off.

    There are actually extra chains around Ash's arm to keep it in the prisoner yoke when you compare it to the other prisoners. He could still take the stump out in real life by the looks of it, but at least the intent was there to make it look like the captors took his severed hand into account.

    Funny thing Babylon 5 being brought up. That's another example of doing quite a bit with very little money, just for television instead of film. They started with like 5 sets that they would redress and reshape over and over to be different locations, and whenever they built a new one, they would keep reusing it and finding ways to work it into future stories. Not as stylistic, of course, cause they were going for a grounded approach, but it has a similar creative energy to it.

    Evil Dead 2 is my absolute favorite film of the series however despite lack of literal continuity it was an absolute stroke of genius that also serves as a love letter to the prior films, the stooges and the medieval movie tropes of the time.

    Bruce Campbell wrote a book about getting a shot at being a "real" actor. He's cast to do a dramatic monologue, but his B-movie-ness infects the filming until he's doing wire stunts and gag fights.

Like Ash has suffered and lost but its left him jaded and he doesn't really get phased by all the new horrors that get thrown at him. He becomes the hero and that is the version of him I love. The same dumb lucky unfortunate bastard who has just shook off the madness and trauma as best he can and just gets down to business now when the deadites show up. Wise crackin' capable groovy missing hand Ash is a champion.

    Nobody ever mentions it but Ash's introductory speech is wrong. He's not a slave, he a sacrificial victim in part of an ongoing effort to placate the creatures in the pit. The King was (correctly) afraid that if the monsters were sufficiently motivated, they would find their way out. (Like if some asshole from the future...) At the most you could only say Ash is a slave for like, a split-second, because they only plan on giving him one command ("Get in the pit you sons of whores!") This movie is such a pure art.
