But the best of all is Evil Dead 1, 2 and Army of Darkness has lots of Bruce Campbell goodness!  ;)
He made those movies enjoyable.
Especially army of darkness and evil dead 2.
Plus I haven't seen the first evil dead.

What's funny is that Evil Dead 1 and Evil Dead 2 were almost the same movie. Same story, same protagonist. But if I recall, Evil Dead 2 is the one that got a little more tongue-in-cheek and directly leads into Army of Darkness.


Ah! And Evil Dead 2 is on Netflix.. and added to queue. Army of Darkness isn't, but, I bet some creative eBay/Walmart $5 bin digging might solve that. :)

The end of evil dead 2 and the beggining of army is darkness are slightly different.
Other than all the soldiers at the end of evil dead 2 having plastic full plate armor and the ones in army if darkness having late 13th and early 14 the armor. Well it wasn't really a specific armor.

I'm sure the best way to find out would just be to simply watch it, but how does "evil dead" being a demon possesion horror movie to "army of darkness", with a campy medieval twist?

Because when you base ancient evils roots to the Middle Ages
And make a movie during a time when medieval stuff and horror stuff is really popular. Oh and time travel, und, und... Vany veasions herr lionpride.

Evil Dead 2 is more of a campy remake of the first Evil Dead than an actual sequel. It ends with Ash replacing his hand with a chainsaw, and falling through a time portal into the medieval period, along with his car. Army of Darkness picks up right where that left off, and is a more serious attempt at a comedic campy movie.

Let's not forget Bruce is welcomed as a hero in the Middle Ages at the end of evil dead 2. And all the knights have plastic fills sets of armor, then at the start of army of darkness Bruce is captured, and is surrounded by more early 14th century armored(actual armor)time accurate soldiers.

Just saw Evil Dead 2 right now. Boy, the 80s were cheesy by modern standards, but I still enjoyed it. Not as much as most modern movies, but it was still a fun one. I see exactly how they link together now. Kinda cool. Now to find Army of Darkness at Walmart or something... Netflix doesn't have it. :(

Army of Darkness was the best of the three. Classic Bruce Campbell! :)

You'll love it! :)

+1

I really think of Army of Darkness as it's own movie now.  Yes it's technically a continuation of Evil Dead 2, but it really stands up by itself, and it's pure awesome!
