This movie is considered the echelon of Bruce Campbell's career. It defiantly has the largest cult following of any other of his movies. Lines from the movie has been used in other shows and games, including the line "This.. is.. my.. BOOMSTICK!" famous in the Warcraft games.
It's a great movie, and a definite must-see. But don't expect an epic adventure. It's a comedy, it's almost satirical, it's definitely a movie without a stitch of seriousness.
Lessons learned from Army of Darkness:
- Always remember the secret words, especially if the words are in Latin. Latin words are very important.
- It's always the last one you pick Even if you try to skip to the last one, it's always the other last one.
- The word "forth" is hard to say correctly when your jaw keeps falling off.
- Skeletons are flammable.
