Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The sexy, surly Bobby Joe was inspired by Holly Hunter, who was a housemate of Sam Raimi's in the early 80s, along with Joel Coen and Frances McDormand. One particular incident inspired the character: Hunter was auditioning for a hooker part and was unusually made-up and wearing a sexy, short-skirted outfit. She became angry at Raimi when he somewhat leered at her. Raimi pulled for Hunter to play the part, but the producers wanted someone "sexier". more
Goofs:
Continuity: 31:30 into the film. Ash's face is covered in blood from severing his own hand. Suddenly it is relatively clean. more
Quotes:
[Ash is trapped in the cellar with Henrietta walking towards him]
Ash: Open the door. There's something down here!
Annie: Open it. Quickly
Jake: It's a trick

The Best Movie Ever Made..., 15 July 2005
10/10
Author: johnboy121 from United States

... in the evil dead series. From the very beginning I couldn't stop smiling... every time I saw Bruce Campbell i laughed and every time there was a fight I chuckled. It is an extremely fun movie with a no mercy attitude. Sam Raimi perfects his shaky cam shots and first persons and makes for the most enjoyable experience in a long time. The plot is sturdy (identical to Evil Dead) and the technology is painful (purposefully). The movie moves leisurely from event to event. The supporting cast are stupid and bring more trouble to the film (a much needed element) and the best part is, the carnage starts 5 minutes into the movie. A no-think great movie, possibly the best movie the horror genre has turned out in the last 20 years.
