shop smart, shop s-mart!

i think you have to watch them in order, you appreciate them more and more as you go along...

Will you marry me? Oh wait! I don't actually know you lol.

Indeed, and I wish there was a hair more continuity from ED2 to A of D. At the end *SPOILER** of ED2, he was being hailed as a hero. Beginning of A o D they had decided to put him in chains....

I'm not sure it was intended to be like this, but this is how I look at it:

Each movie is a retelling of the same story. That's why things change here and there, and Ash gets more and more badass as the series goes on. Each time he tells it, he elaborates more and more.

At the end of AoD, he's telling his story to a co-worker (Sam Raimi) at S-Mart. This is the ONLY thing that makes this theory work (and the narration throughout). Even if it wasn't intended to be the case, it makes it funnier on a whole new level.

Anyone seen My Name is Bruce yet?

i'm not in love with that theory... to me they seem like continuations... with plot holes... and sam raimi's car...

I have a hard time with calling them sequels, especially since Evil Dead 2 was like they redid ED1, but added more at the end. It was a remake, essentially, not a sequel. And yeah, gaping plot holes... I stand by my theory ;)
 
Yeah, who would be brain dead enough to go back to that cabin lol.

But basic stupidity and brain deadened forgetfulness are the premise of many horror classics. Otherwise Who TF would ever live on ELM street or camp at Crystal Lake?
 
i still maintain that it's just a continuation of the same story with some crossover so people wouldn't need the continuity (y'know, considering linda is alive again...) and they cut out the other people from the first movie to make it simpler to recap. so maybe the first, like, fifteen minutes was a remake but then it picks up right where the first movie ended... so i say sequel.
 
I dont know a thing about that movie but I do like the pepper Got to grow me one of these after seeing all the comments
 
I knew you'd say that Omri, lol.

Remember that one orange hab in one pot is too much for most normal humans.

Grumpy:

Was linda really a character from the first one????? That really is a red flag for re-interpretation. I took the movies inconsistencies to be due to an attempt to make the 2nd and 3rd ones stand on their own. That is why it wasn't called Evil Dead 3.

yeppers, i can see the confusion considering she was played by a different actress (in each movie... theres a quick shot of 'linda' in the third at the start during the quick flashback/recap played by yet another actress)

i'm pretty sure the third one was 'evil dead 3: army of darkness' just like the second was 'evil dead 2: dead by dawn'... noone ever calls 2 dead by dawn and noone ever calls 3 evil dead 3... i have no idea why...

Fun fact: In case no one noticed, in Army of Darkness, when they're doing the "recap" of Evil Dead 2, Linda is played by Bridget Fonda!

I actually believe it's called, "Bruce Campbel vs the Army of Darkness".
 
Yeah, I think that they really tried to make it seem like a completely new movie. No mention of "evil dead" 3 or otherwise made in any marketing or packaging.

Ahh Linda....her headless ballet scene in the 2nd one was freaking classic as it gets(although the claymation partial nudity was a little less than convincing)
