Bruce said since he was poor growing up he would wear brown canvas pants because they wouldn't wear out as fast as jeans, so the Ash outfit might literally just be the clothes he was wearing at the time of filming the first Evil Dead.
I didn't learn about the existence of evil dead 1 & 2 till years after seeing Army of Darkness. Despite literally dropping you into the middle of the plot, it totally works as a stand alone.
Yeah, same here, saw it on TV once when I was younger. And I agree, it's like a sampler of Evil Dead 2 with its own weird plot. It helps that it summarizes the events of the previous film.
Early '90s: I was walking down the street and had four hours between teaching English lessons here in Japan and saw the poster outside a movie theater for "CAPTAIN SUPERMARKET". The title grabbed my eye and when I looked closely at the screenshots on the billing I realized this was the sequel to Evil Dead 2, one of my most beloved movies of all time. The movie was starting in ten minutes. I don't know if I have ever been happier in my entire life.
I now desperately want a new RLM series where Mike is a Private Detective who works exclusively on B-Movie cases. Famous B-Movie people can make cameos as the clients. It’ll be fucking great.
I really wanted them to talk more about the three books scene. It's a total highlight of the movie and watching Ash scream and scream when he gets sucked into the first book lives rent-free in my head forever
Apparently the MPAA was determined to give it the dreaded NC-17, for some reason... For some reason which couldn't have had anything to do with the actual film that's for sure... For some reason which may or may not have had anything to do with Evil Dead &Evil Dead 2 never were submitted for rating and made them MPAAs mad and they needed to flex some authority on Sam Raimi.

I read a lot of literature from times when there was heavy censorship. I've noticed that often those restrictions paradoxically force artists to become great. As here: the addition of RichEvans elevates the whole thing.
id watch an entire movie based on this plot. Horror b movie stars at cons. Necronomicon props gets stolen but its actually the real necronomicon and some fan reads off it and we get an entire evil dead movie in a con. Of course bruce campbell would be there to solve the mystery.
I love that the Evil Dead is the only series where the lead actor and the writing can get dumber and dumber every installation and it just gets better and better. Bruce Campbell is so goofily handsome, he's like a caricature of a handsome leading actor
I'm actually pretty relieved that he didn't give the page to Mike. it probably would have ended up crumpled and stuffed into a drawer with the head of that El Adrel IV creature or stuffed down the garbage disposal with those Gremlin arms.
I disagree with Mike and Rich on the second Act, mostly because randomly coming across those insane scenes on television is what introduced me to Army of Darkness. I was waiting for my friend's dad to pick me up because he was giving both of us a ride to the movies (I was 14/15) and while I waited I came across the mini-Ash scene on Sci Fi. The whole sequence was so batshit, off-kilter, and tonally weird to me that I couldn't stop watching it. I went on to describe it to my friend on our ride to the movies and his dad chimes in 'Oh yeah, that's Army of Darkness! Great Film.'
It's classic Evil Dead. It's what makes the series so great. The first film is fine and all, but the batshit crazy nonsense of 2 is what people love about it to this day, and if Army of Darkness didn't include it, it would have been a loss. They make a fair point about how it's wasting the film's concept a bit, but frankly, this is an Evil Dead movie first and a time travel medieval film second and that's important to keep in mind. This film was actually my introduction to the series as well. I had never watched 1 or 2 until many many years later. I only knew of Army of Darkness and I thought it was bonkers but highly entertaining. I'm completely biased and won't listen to complaints about it. I fully admit that. But come on, the movie's gold. The nonsense that makes no sense is what makes it so great. Whereas it would hold back other films it just makes this one fucking fun. It's clearly self-aware of its nonsense.
it's amazing how, in a lot of ways, Rich Evans is the most knowledgeable about movies and storytelling than the two movie makers. Rich Evans always has an answer that makes sense. like with the belt. Mike asks why that decision was made, Rich Evans is ready to point out that it makes it a little more exciting than just grabbing with a hand. Rich Evans is what i'd call a savant.
I think my friends found out Army of Darkness was a sequel after we watched it and became obsessed. We made our friend's dad drive us to every video store in the area trying to find the first two.
3 minutes in and I appreciate the lack of forced unfunny edits. Every other channel that does this forces in unfunny jokes and edits and then they put ads on the video as if they deserve payment for their time spent in adobe premier
I absolutely love this movie, no matter how flawed or silly. It’s flaws and silliness might be a couple main reasons why I love this film. This is a special movie like Big Trouble In Little China. They will always be special and never be duplicated. My older brother took me to the theatre to see this. (One of my happiest memories.) It wasn’t until many years later I saw Evil Dead and I remember thinking “Holy shit....this is intense..” Then I rented Evil Dead 2 and thought “Ah, this is more like it!” and never returned it.... For some reason I can’t bring myself to throw the tape away Lol
for anyone curious, theres a short video someone made on youtube that animated Mikes missing necronomicon mystery solving haha, even uses that same la noir clip, its great but not to take away from the edit man! this is one of the best, up there with the He Man & AVP one, way better than that janky nightmare on elm street one someone did recently with bad editing
OMG, I just realized that went to the same movie theaters as Jay and Mike in Milwaukee where I grew up. I'm 44 and lived in Milwaukee until '93 and when mike said he went to the dollar show my parent used to take me and my siblings to the Milwaukee dollar theater every weekend! I wonder if they were old enough to go the the drive in theater as well? At that dollar theater I saw "Ferris Buellers Day off", Another Cry Wolf, Out of Africa, and Return of the Jedi.
I’m with Jay. Any time Evil Dead turns into the Bruce Campbell One Man Show, it’s the best part of the experience. That applies to all three movies for me. The second act of Army of Darkness is great and I never knew anyone disliked it.
It was subtitled 'Medieval Dead' here in the UK. I didn't know this was exclusive to the UK until I heard them comment on it being the intended title here.
I remember seeing Evil Dead 2 for the very first time...My cousin and I were up late watching TV...we used to love all the B movies cable channels would show after midnight. We saw a lot of really bad movies back in the day...I remember one was a medieval fantasy movie starring those 2 muscle-bound twin brothers, David and Peter Paul, called The Barbarians (fun fact: it was directed by Ruggero Deodato who directed the infamous Cannibal Holocaust). But Evil Dead 2 was special. We were laughing our assholes off...but we weren't laughing AT the movie; we were laughing WITH the movie. It was genuinely funny AND it had some really tense moments. I knew nothing about it before that night, but I knew I needed to see it again after it was over.
My friends dad bought us tickets to this when we were around 11 years old. This was the greatest/funniest thing for a couple of immature 11 year olds to watch, and it's still one of my favorite movies.
Got to say, when i see California im amazed at how much of it actually looks like Spain... well countryside, hills, trees, vistas, excluding towns and cities which are very different
@@worfsonofmogh323 yeah there is that med weather, but it does vary a little across the med, plus Spain is the only place in Europe with a desert. Yet north of Spain has lots of rain, and since Spain is so mountainous there's also ski resorts everywhere (not many people associate Spain with skiing). Makes me want to go out and visit today talking about it haha
2:43 I saw this before the first two films, so it always bugged me too that he landed on what looked like poorly disguised pads when he drops from the vortex, but that shot is from Evil Dead 2 where he lands in the middle of ruins and those are meant to match the stone or tiled floor of the ruins. So they aren't a mistake, they just don't match with the new location.
I saw this in the theater with my aunt when I was ten years old, picking it purely based off the poster. I had no idea what was going on and loved every second of it.
His final shirt is sometimes called a bib shirt, or a cavalry shirt. Except it has too many buttons - it's like Cliff Secord's (Rocketeer) double breasted leather jacket, but in denim shirt form. They don't seem to be for sale, and may just actually only exist in these movies.
In the age of actors like Ryan Reynolds and Chris Pratt being a leading man in everything, Bruce Campbell would've absolutely been a big star had he been born later... It's too bad, he was just a _little_ ahead of his time.
So I had the quotes from this movie on Napster and a girl I was seeing at the time recognized them…turns out she was Bruce Campbell’s niece. Ended up having dinner with him. True story.
i love that Jay and i had the same experience with this hahaha im a little younger, so for me it was 2001/2 in jr high, my buddy Patrick and i got the VHS after seeing Evil Dead 1/2 after getting into Romero and horror, we bought it in the bargain bin at Blockbuster.. and literally watched it like every day for a year other than Kung Pow no other movie was like that for me, still so legendary. i had all 12 special editions and the necronomicon version haha ive always been curious about that random face in the tree during the evil dead vision before he hides I would say Evil Dead 2 miiiight be better..its so damn good.. but idk, Army is more quotable and iconic although the alternate ending SUCKS, where he wakes up in a post apocalyptic future hahah, the real ending in S mart is so much better, it also changes some lines like when he shoots evil ash, instead of good bad im the guy with the gun he just says something short and crappy hahah i miiight agree with mike and rich that act 2 drags a bit, but dont hate it as much also of course ted raimi cameo at the end, always shoved somewhere, even in grandma in 2
My first time seeing this movie was on the Sci-Fi channel, with no context. I figured out it was a sequel pretty quickly, and being a horror movie geek I'd heard of Evil Dead, but since I was under 13 and this was pre-torrent days I'd never seen the movies and didn't make any connection between the titles until I looked it up. Definitely made sure to record the movie next time the channel ran it, I think I might even still have it mixed in with my MST3K recordings from around the same time in a box in my dad's garage.
The first time I saw this movie I was flipping through the channels and caught it on the Sci Fi channel, and it was the scene in he windmill when his mini reflections crawl into his mouth and make him grow another head, and I was just struck like what in the actual fuck is this movie. Then the graveyard scene happens and I'm like is this supposed to be funny because this is hilarious. Ended up switching away from it without finding out what it was and didn't find out until years later it was the 3rd Evil Dead movie. Then I bought it on VHS and watched it over and over again because it rules.
I was trying to watch this commentary in full but was distressed to find none of my subscription services are streaming the movie right now! Then I was mad I don't own a copy.
you should be mad at yourself for living in the stone age. anything you want, especially old movies, is free to watch online with a simple google search and adblock. paying for streaming services is for chumps.
Bruce said since he was poor growing up he would wear brown canvas pants because they wouldn't wear out as fast as jeans, so the Ash outfit might literally just be the clothes he was wearing at the time of filming the first Evil Dead.
"Extreme measures" = making people stare at Rich Evans for 20 minutes
He went all out
I call that a good night

Wait . . . Rich Evans wasn't the omnipresent force of evil in Army of Darkness?

Putting rich Evans over the frame is actually a very interesting move and really makes each scene more colorful and rich

He is the key to all of this
He’s a funnier character than we’ve had before

She was also Barbara in tom savinis night of the living remake. She was great.

Universal has inadvertently made the world a better place by making Rich Evans more viewable in this TH-cam video
Interesting how Evil Dead really opened Jay’s eyes to the magic of filmmaking because Raimi did the same for me with the Spider-Man trilogy
Even they didn't talk about how the chainsaw handle breaks once ash lands on the ground
Rich sitting in the corner throughout like -Jabba the Hut- a regal king was hilarious.

and literally watched it like every day for a year
other than Kung Pow no other movie was like that for me, still so legendary. i had all 12 special editions and the necronomicon version haha
ive always been curious about that random face in the tree during the evil dead vision before he hides
I would say Evil Dead 2 miiiight be better..its so damn good.. but idk, Army is more quotable and iconic
although the alternate ending SUCKS, where he wakes up in a post apocalyptic future hahah, the real ending in S mart is so much better, it also changes some lines like when he shoots evil ash, instead of good bad im the guy with the gun he just says something short and crappy hahah
i miiight agree with mike and rich that act 2 drags a bit, but dont hate it as much

Then the graveyard scene happens and I'm like is this supposed to be funny because this is hilarious. Ended up switching away from it without finding out what it was and didn't find out until years later it was the 3rd Evil Dead movie. Then I bought it on VHS and watched it over and over again because it rules.
I like how you avoided copyright by having Rich Evans face on the screen
Mike with Pyramid Head is not something I ever thought I would see
I was trying to watch this commentary in full but was distressed to find none of my subscription services are streaming the movie right now! Then I was mad I don't own a copy.
you should be mad at yourself for living in the stone age. anything you want, especially old movies, is free to watch online with a simple google search and adblock. paying for streaming services is for chumps.
You don't own the Evil Dead Trilogy? Turn in your Man Card. (I'm assuming you're a man)
