I like this movie, though not my favorite in the series. I liked the chainsaw hand far more then the metal gaunlet, and that the final battle goes on for 10-15 minutes too long.
The interesting thing is that there are quite a few different versions around, with different scenes and qoutes inserted and deleted. Some skip a big chunk of the windmill sequence and change the line when he shoots bad ash, as well as the qoute about "Maybe my boys can stop them". And of course, the two endings, which I still can't decide which one I like better. "S-mart" was delicously over the top, though "Slept too long" was appropriatly downbeat.
I think Evil Dead 2 narrowly edges it out as a better movie.
Evil Dead is good, but not in the same way. It's a good job of making a disturbing horror flick on shoestring budget, and is pretty impressive when you find out what they had to go through to get it made(Freezing weather, bad roads, time overruns, etc).
"Shop Smart! Shop S-mart!"
