ARMY OF DARKNESS
Ash is back.
THE PLOT
Ash is accidentally sent back in time, but thankfully he has his trusty chainsaw and car along with him. He’s taken hostage, but finds the Necrenominon a book that can transport him back to his own time. Unfortunately he reads the words wrong and unleashes the dead along with his doppelganger Evil Ash. Now he has to use the few tools he has along with his own smarts to save the people in town and get home.
FUN TRIVIA
Bridget Fonda plays Linda, the love of Ash’s life. Fonda was a fan of the previous two movies and agreed to cameo in the role, even if it meant she’d have no lines.
THOUGHTS/OPINIONS
A lighthearted romp that shouldn’t be taken seriously. Campbell is at his best when playing the smarmy guy that can’t do a whole lot right and that’s what Ash is all about. Also look for the always great Ted Rami who pops up several times throughout the movie.
If you get the chance, pick up the Bruce Campbell vs. Army of Darkness DVD. It includes the original movie, the director’s cut and the original, more darker ending to the movie. You can’t really go wrong with this one.
