Slapstick with man-eating skeletons

Rating: 8/10 (22 July 2002)

Some might call this an acquired taste or adolescent humor. I like to think of the Three Stooges as comedy for violent, pre-pubescents of all ages. And Army of Darkness or Evil Dead III or whatever you want to call it (apparently there are five or six different titles) is like the three stooges with evil flesh-eating dead things. I consider this flick an homage (pronounced in that fancy-pants European way) to the artistry of the Howard brothers (not forgetting, of course, the efforts of Mr. Fine).
I howled every time I watched it. The intentional continuity errors keep you checking the DVD and the dialogue should be required reading for writers of Schwarzenegger action flicks and their many clones. As Ash would say to those posers: "Come get some."
