I love how all of Ash's one liners became the script for Duke Nukem

"It's a trick. Get an axe." These are words to live by.

Fun fact the car is a Delta 88. Bought by Sam Raimi's father. That car is in most of his movies if not all. That was the same car Uncle Ben took Peter to the library and gave the with great power line. Jeff Morales says with great ability comes great accountability

This is less horror and more epic fantasy, but I really love the genre shift. My favorite Evil Dead movie. Also, fun fact: the original ending for the movie was supposed to be Ash waking up in a post-apocalyptic London screaming "I slept too long" before it fades to black.

When I was attending UCLA, Bruce Campbell came by to give a talk, do a Q&A, and sign some autographs. Super nice guy and genuinely hilarious. I wish he became the superstar he probably deserved to be.

Those three words were the three used in the original "the day the earth stood still" to keep the robot from destroying everything when the alien was dying. The woman had to remember them too.

Fun Fact: Ash Williams was a character in the crossover card game "Poker Night at the Inventory 2". When he asked about what happened to Sheila, GLaDOS from Portal finds records that one her and Ash's direct descendents is Brock Sampson from The Venture Brothers. It's obviously not canon, but it's funny to watch the characters in-game connect the dots.

You both should take on Ash vs Evil Dead as that series did what no one could have predicted: It deepened the lore, the characters and the gory special effects. Ash Williams becomes a totally fleshed out character and it's hilariously glorious.

I love Army of Darkness. The Evil Dead films are so creative and fun. Fun fact: Ash’s magic words are borrowed from The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951). George Lucas borrowed from these words when naming some minor characters and species in Return of the Jedi

You guys should watch the series. You get the horror of 1, comedy of 2 & Ash from 3, all in one great show. Long Live Ash!

The "Pit B!tch" creature in the beginning was played by Billy Bryan. He was also the man in the "Mr. Staypuft" costume in GHOSTBUSTERS.

May the Glory of Bruce Campbell shine on everyone this Halloween season!! This is my favorite Bruce Campbell movie of all time, "Groovy" is still the best line delivery ever done in the history of cinema. Also use the Jack and shit line to this day........

"I got a BONE to pick with you" "God damn it" lol perfect reaction

I'm glad you guys caught Ted Raimi at towards the end. You missed him earlier at 18:55.

"Good. Bad. I'm the one with a gun." - My absolute favorite line in the movie. (I was saddened to find out many years later that in a different version/ cut of the film, that line was removed.) But I loved this movie since I saw it in theatres. Just great, campy fun.

This is my BOOMSTICK!

There's also an alternate ending where Ash goes forward in time with a potion but he forgets the exact amount (because he's an oaf) and oversleeps all the way to the Apocalypse

FYI, that was not the original ending of the movie you both reacted to. It was supposed to be him overslept in his car during the time travel phase, and ended he woke up in a post apocalyptic London region. In the end, he never got home. From medieval time, he went further into the future 😂. This was the first movie (out of the whole franchise) I’d watched in cinema when I was a kid, asked my parents to bring me in to watch just because I was intrigued by the movie poster/cover. Years later while I was in high school/ secondary school, only I found out that some how Evil Dead & Evil Dead 2 were relevant to Army of Darkness. Then only I bought the VCD/DVD to watch it at home😅

I hope whoever decided that the movie shouldn’t be called Medieval Dead stubs their toe every single day for the rest of their lives. You guys should definitely watch Ash Vs. the Evil Dead, it’s such a fantastic show. I’d basically watch Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams in anything though lol.

You guys should know that this movie has an alternate ending... You two are so great to watch.

I rented this when I was like 12 in the early 90s cause I loved the cover. I couldn't figure out why I was lost till I found out it was the 3rd movie in the Evil Dead trilogy lol. The alternate ending is great.

If you guys had fun with the directing of this one, you might enjoy Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess. Sam Raimi was a oroducer for both of them, and they were absolutely some of the best TV of the 90s and early 2000s. His brother Ted (Ash's friend at the end, and also the blacksmith) plays one of my favorite characters, Joxer the Mighty. And Bruce Campbell also has a recurring role, that happens to be quite charming. You guys could do them for Patreon, or just by yourselves, but they're absolutely worth the watch.

I like how the NiceDudes catch phrase “Stay nice” would fit perfectly as a one liner in this movie.

Now you have to watch The Ash versus the evil dead series, because it picks up shortly after where this movie ended.

My favourite line from this film is when they are digging up the army and all you hear is “welcome back to the land of the living. Now pick up a shovel and dig!” Also there’s an alternate ending where he takes too many drops and ends up in a ruined future

I actually bought this film on bootleg VHS several years before its release. It was held back for a long time after they shot it so early copies leaked out.

I love watching these videos with you guys. It's like having friends 😂

One of my all time favorites! The director's cut is 14 minutes longer, extends some scenes, changes a couple others, the ending included... it's way different

My favorite film in the franchise and one of my favorites. Last year for Halloween I made an AOD medieval ash cosplay with the blue shirt and cape and I painted the gauntlet glove, had a boomstick and modified an actual working toy chainsaw arm with working switches pull cord and moving chains. One of the best cosplays I ever done. Groovy!!!

Number one favorite R rated movie of all time! You can tell the people who made this movie had a lot of fun with it. Man I MISS movies like this! The interesting thing is that this movie is actually about 1/5 of the entire graphic novel. So much wasn’t covered and I’d highly recommend it.

To stay to Sam Raimi movies, you have to watch 'Darkman' (1990), his pre-'Spider-Man' super-hero movie, and the crazy western 'The Quick and the Dead' (1995).

You guys should look up the alternate endings to this movie. They’re wild. I think in one of the endings he goes too far into the future and everything is destroyed. They filmed it too so it’s available online to watch somewhere.

Better marketing on Universal's part (and a PG-13 rating that this OBVIOUSLY should have gotten), and this would have been a WAY bigger hit, IMO. Truly one of the most entertaining films of the 90s.

In the end, it's actually good that Sam Raimi reshot the ending of Army of Darkness. The original ending had Ash sleeping in hibernation, intending to wake up in his own time, but he oversleeps and wakes up in a post-Apocalyptic future with the intention of it leading into a fourth movie. But given the uncertainty that a fourth movie would be financed, Raimi reshot a new ending that ended Ash's story back in the present day, which turned out to be the right decision since both issues with the studio and Raimi wanting to move on to other projects (like Spider-Man) would've resulted in the Evil Dead movies ending unresolved.

If you love Bruce Campbell you should totally watch Bubba Ho-Tep omg it is so hilarious you will die laughing 😂 BTW I just started watching you guys a few days ago and I can't get enough of your reaction videos keep up the great work and I can't wait for the next video 😊

I saw this in theaters when I was in college, not knowing anything about the Evil Dead universe. It was one of craziest, funniest movies I had seen a while. I then rented Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 not too long afterwards to get the whole story. Great reaction!

Sam Raimi, David Cronenberg, Roger Corman, and John Carpenter are legendary directors known for their incredible practical effects

I love this channel. You guys don't waste time with a 10-minute preamble. You just get right to it

I think what's great about Sam Raimi's movies, besides his general chaos and craziness, is that his direction really really anchors whatever hilarious or horrifying thing he's showing. The shots have some real creative heft to them, some real punches with the movements and blocking. It's something so genuinely unique and so specific to Raimi.

Klatu, Verada, Nicto. That comes from the 1951 movie The Day The Earth Stood Still. It's what Patricia Neal had to say to the robot Gort to stop him from destroying the Earth if Michael Rennie's character was killed. The minute the wise man said it, I was in tears laughing. Because I got the reference right away. This is the genius of Sam Raimi.

I like this ending much better than the alternate ending where he simply wakes up in an post apocalyptic future. I think this ending fits better with the vibe of the movie.

9:42 "Klaatu barada nikto" was the phrase created in Day The Earth Stood Still to command Gort.

I’m so glad you got to see this and I got to see your reaction, Bruce Campbell is a total icon and I love how you appreciate his one liners. Recommendations from me would be 300, Sin City, Watchmen, Shaun of the Dead, Airplane and Hot Shots. Keep up all your good work, all the best from the UK.

Everyone that likes Evil Dead needs to see the Ash vs Evil Dead show, but also the 2nd Season Opener of the new TV SHOW, Creepshow, Public Television of the Dead. Some classic reference to 70s and 80s educational TV. A certain painter of little blue clouds.

One of my favorite movies of all time. My college girlfriend and I saw it in the theater. It was a matinee, and just the two of us and a family with a few rather young kids. They sat a few rows in front of us. We laughed our asses off through the whole thing, and the kids I think were legit scared. Kept looking at us like we were demented serial killers. Which was also kind of funny.

Army of Darkness was the movies me and my friends quoted all through Jr. High! I had never even seen Evil Dead 1 or 2 until I was an adult. But got all the great one liners! My favorite of the three for sure!

I love these videos 😂 Army of Darkness is one of my favorite movies so it was cool seeing you dudes react. Maybe you can do a short with the other ending.

"Klaatu, Verada (Barada), Nikto is from the classic 1951 film, The Day the Earth Stood Still. It's use in this movie is a reference to that.

For those awere of the "alternate ending" Sam Raimi was planning a 4th EVIL DEAD movie where Ash would lead a robot army in a post apocalyptic world to fight the deadites. Unfortunately ARMY OF DARKNESS wasn't successful upon it's theatrical releases and the 4th movie was never made. In the TV show: ASH vs EVIL DEAD, season 3 ended in a cliffhanger that would lead to the Ash and robots fighting deadites storyline in season 4. But because of declining ratings, the show was cancelled after the third season.

you should have watched the alternative ending too!

Fun fact: the dead army was played by a (or a few) class(es) of ballet dancers. They were the only ones with the physicality, the discipline and the ability to remember complex staging to do the job right.

I absolutely love how in this film the deadites actually remember Ash across space and time, when the first one in the pit grabbed him it didn’t want kill him right away. It just started straight up punching him, like they want to kick his ass and humiliate him first! Why, you’d ask? Because the deadites hate Ash so much and are so done with him interfering in their plans and sick of his shit!!

I liked how when he was getting pelted by crates and such, Raimi was shouting "Hit him harder!" LOL 😀

Sam Raimi produced Hercules and Xena and his brother was in both of them. That is likely the inspiration for this setting.

Every other reaction Channel out there....... take note, this is how you do a reaction Channel. These guys are my favorite thus far. One - they set up the movie an intro. Two, they watch it in its entirety without pausing because they cut it up anyway so there is no need to have to pause it, much less pause every 5 Seconds....... once it's complete they give their opinions and notes on the movie, this is how you do it people

Hell yeah! Was looking forward to this one!

So much fun to see you guys enjoying this. My friends and I saw it the first day it was in theaters and were whooping and cheering. Good times.

My favourite out of the trilogy. My dad would lose his mind cause i always rented this movie from the videoclub. Would love to see your reaction to the alternative ending

I love that during the production of the movie, the director stole the skeleton props multiple times and used all of them in every shot the army was on screen

About time!!! was watiing too see your reaction for this.

Another fun fact: the production team for Army of Darkness had a whole team dedicated to building and repairing The skeletons. In fact, im pretty sure they had to steal a bunch of skeletons to finish the movie

The funniest thing to me, was Ash forgetting one of the most famous lines in science fiction movies, "Klattu Barada Nicto", (though they spelled it "Clatoo Verada Nico"). It's from the 1951 classic, "The Day The Earth Stood Still". It's the line told to actress Patricia Neal by the alien, Michael Rennie, to stop the robot from destroying Washington, D. C., if not the entire world. Klattu was the alien's name by the way.😂❤

Luv u guys :D Keep having fun with these vids i love to watch em ✌

I grew up loving Sam Raimi's work, even though I didnt realize it until after the Spiderman movies. Hercules and Xena were my 2 favorite shows in the 90s when I was a kid. Evil Dead was the first movie I watched with my first real GF (Halloween party in her parents basement, how fitting). Army of Darkness was the first movie my SO and I ever watched together. (If she didn't get my humor then of course we wouldn't work!). Bruce Campbell is an all time favorite actor. I love everything I've seen him in from Evil Dead to Burn Notice to Jack of All Trades or My Name is Bruce. His books are hilarious and just enjoyable to read. Last story: My last name is Williams, and lately SO and I have been discussing baby names and she unironically asked me what I thought of the name Ash, completely forgetting Evil Dead exists. I agreed instantly, of course lol. If you made it this far let me make a suggestion unrelated to Army of Darkness. Lucky Number Slevin. If you've never seen this movie it is so worth your time.

The mini Ashes yelling "Ramming Speed" before jabbing Ash with the fork is actually a reference to National Lampoon's Animal House which Night In The Museum also referenced.

LETS GO, I WAS WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS!!! YOU GUYS MADE MY WEEK, STAY NICE!!!

The guy that Ash targeted after decking the king is the guy who kept whipping him the whole time he was chained up.

It will not surprise you then that Sam Raimi helped to helm the 90s Hercules and Xena TV movies/shows.

So glad y’all finally did this episode! One of my all time favorite movies. Hail to the king baby!

So Far this is the best reaction i seen to this movie, the editing was perfect. This is Bruce Campbell on his best. The Story continues in the tv show Ash vs. Evil Dead, Also a Great watch. Another fun Bruce Campbell is, My Name is Bruce in that movie he plays himself.

Yes, that's Ted Raimi at the end, but he was also a Deadite, and the soldier who says, "You can count on my steel!" when they start to pledge to Ash. They also only had about 8 complete skeletons that they would rebuild after the explosions and such. Sam Raimi is a genius, and Bruce Campbell is awesome!

This was my introduction to the Evil Dead series. My older brother got me into this crazy trilogy. I'm glad to see it still holds up all these years.

Love it when you guys watch something neither of you have seen. This did not disappoint.

I watched this movie when it came out during "Night of Terror", a horror movie nigh in Amsterdam. The crowd stood up and cheered when Ash picked up the chainsaw and would not be silent until the movie was over.

oh my… this movie was so surprising and so much fun to watch! 😄 Thanks for this episode!

Just saw you guys watch evil dead 2 and now I see that you posted this 5 days ago. Amazing.

Man so much good memories from this movie. I thought it was a scary horror movie at first so I wasn't sure about watching it. But when the scary ghoul came out of the water and starting punching Ash I just laughed so hard. That first moment was enough to keep me hooked for the whole movie.

Great commentary! I was a huge Evil Dead fan when this came out and I got one of the original "Romance Novel" movie posters for my dorm room wall. Trekked a hundreds miles and dressed up in costume to see it on opening night in a little movie theater in Alexandria, Minnesota. You would not believe how fun and raucous the theater became with every quip or physical gag. I remember a friend of mine, after Ash kills the pit deadites, said "Ash has gained a couple of levels" like an RPG character. Great job on the vid. Although I love this ending, I also love Raimi's alternate ending where Ash says the words wrong (again) and sleeps an extra thousand years and is horrified to wake up in an apocalyptic hellscape.

Best B Movie ever. Can't tell you how many hundreds of times I have watched this movie. It's best watched when your mind is elevated and you have a large bowl of popcorn.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fun fact: the wizard is played by Ian Abercrombie, who went on to play Mr. Pitt in Seinfeld, among a bunch of other things. Had to look it up because the voice was so familiar

Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. YA GOT THAT?!?! Such a goofy but satisfying movie. So many memorable one-liners.

Fun Fact: The magic words, "Clatoo, Verata, Nicto" are the same exact words in the 1951 movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still" magic alien words for the robot to help if his master is killed.

The execution of Army Of Darkness was so much fun. From the characters (especially Ash’s) ridiculously cheesy lines to the straight up Three Stooges slapstick stuff. It knew exactly what it was, and exactly what it wanted to do. The progression of the Evil Dead franchise is also something that is very interesting to me. The franchise started with an experimental fun insane low budget Horror movie. Then taking a left turn it decides to make the sequel essentially a parody of the first one, much like Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 that came out the year before. Then there's this one which is both a Horror and a Comedy film.

Fun Personal Note: I have a character in a D&D campaign who's the stereotypical badass with a gun meme, and "Good, Bad, I'm the guy with a gun" is basically his motto.

"Klaatu Barada Nikto" The words that stopped the end of the world in The Day the Earth Stood Still. They are also the names of Jabba's bodyguards in Return of the Jedi. And now...Ash vs Evil Dead 👏🏻

Great job again guys! Shop S-mart so good. My favorite and the one I saw first actually. The only bad thing is you'll never see it first again.

If you guys want more stop-motion, I HIGHLY recommend Kubo and the Two Strings

One of the best films ever made. Glad you enjoyed it.

My favorite Halloween movie! I play it for all of my Halloween parties. Can't wait to watch you guys enjoy this movie! I just know your gunna love this wild ride.

The words "Clatoo verata nicto" for the Necronomicon are a homage to the original phrase "Klaatu barada nikto" that originated in the iconic science fiction film _The Day the Earth Stood Still_ (1951), the phrase that is used to stop the alien robot Gort from destroying human civilization after humans shot the alien ambassador Klaatu.

Ahhh, this used to be one of my absolute favorites back in the day.

I remember buying this on pirate vhs a few years before release, when I went on holiday to Cyprus. I was the most popular 14yo in the school for a while. The full title on the cover was also the longest 'Evil Dead 3: Bruce Campbell vs The Army of Darkness; The Medieval Dead' lol

I knew a guy who rented this thinking Army of Darkness was a war movie.

Dude, when that was out for rental, army of darkness was MINE..... hilarious. Gotta love Bruce.

Great reaction. Those among us of a certain age know that "Klaatu barada nikto" is from the 1951 movie The Day The Earth Stood Still.

My entire left arm is tattooed in Evil Dead theme, my favorite series ever!

So many great one liners.
