I just saw this for the first time a few nights ago. I know I know, shocking right? I have seen Evil Dead and I have seen Army of Darkness and love them both, but i have to say that Evil Dead 2 is probably my favorite of the three. I enjoyed every moment of that damn film. I am planning an Evil Dead trilogy party...anyone want to come to Florida to attend? Beer and movie candy welcomed!
Right now in my head I am thinking about when he cut off his hand and in the next scene you see him moving a stack of books and right on the top is a copy of A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemmingway. How great is that? And I really just love the camera work. Who says you can't make something priceless out of la low budget? It takes a lot more talent to make gold out of so little than to make a decent film with all the money you need.
And I am serious about crashing the Dead party. :)
Great film!
Sam Raimi has stated that the Three Stooges provided a lot of the inspiration behind the film.
My favorite line in the entire film is just one word, "Workshed!" when his girlfriend's head bites down on his hand.
Here's a cool pic:

There is so many great moments in that movie. I actually still haven't returned yet and gonna watch again, but this time sober. :)
