      @@jkvelasquez84The beginning of ED II is not considered canon. It was just a way to quickly recap the first movie for people who forgot or didn’t see it, since a few years had passed between films, and a different studio owned the rights to the first one, so they couldn’t reuse footage. Bruce Campbell has said just skip the recap and start at the point where the first left off.

      @Senkoau 4 місяці тому +2

      @@Kevmaster2000 From what I've heard its semi-canon. The issue was since Evil Dead was self financed to get a worldwide distribution Shapiro sold the rights to a lot of different studios for that region. Then when they wanted to make 2 in order to use 1 they'd have to get permission (and possibly negotiate a deal) from all those studios. To get around that they did the recap and slight restructuring of the events of part 1 as the set up of 2. So while ED is the events, ED 2's opening is semi-canon as its what get used for later products since the rights are more easily managed.

    Been waiting on this franchise! Great reaction, guys. It's an intense movie. BTW, the professor's recording distinctly said "Demons". They aren't ghosts.
    Keep in mind that this was a shoestring budget film, made by a bunch of college students. The real star is Sam Raimi, who really made a statement with his distinct camera style that became so influential.
    Evil Dead 2 is such a blast. I hope you keep in mind, that it is intended to be a comedy, where as this one was more of a horror.

    Luckily the second and third movies aren't 'horror' movies...they are cross-genre and more comedy than anything else. The newest movie, Evil Dead Rise however...if you found this first movie scary, (which was at the time it came out but really is more a cheesy cult classic than horror now)...that could be rough for you, because it is 100x more intense than this movie.

    Not sure how far into the series you are, but (no spoilers) the continuity from film to film is fairly loose. One of the reasons is that each movie was made through a different company, they didn't have access to clips from previous entries for flashbacks, so they wound up recreating scenes instead and took the opportunity to change things up if they felt like it.

    Fun fact: the movie was originally giving an X rating because of its violence and disturbing content and then got re rated to NC-17 for “substantial graphic horror violence and gore” and the movie is still rated NC-17 to this day! Subsequent home video releases DVD, blu ray etc of the movie have released without a rating. A very intense movie 😂 But the rating is worth it imo! One of the best horror movies of all time!

    I saw the thumb-nail and got SUPER excited! I love your reacts, and I love the Evil Dead franchise! The budget was $375,000 which Sam Raimi raised from investors and family members. When Roxy started singing "Scotty Doesn't Know," I laughed out loud, because I always think that whenever I hear the name Scotty. Cheryl, the woman who was attacked by the trees, is Ash's sister. Your reactions were great! It was awesome seeing this movie fresh again through your viewpoint! I can't wait to see you guys do the rest of the series. If you like Bruce Campbell, you should also check out the TV series Adventures of Brisco County, Jr, which he is the main character, and is absolutely amazing.

    Get used to seeing that car....it's in EVERY SINGLE ONE of Sam Raimis movies because....It's his car, its THE biggest star of all of his movies, it still runs, he still drives it. 🤣 It cost something like 370 K after Raimi begged some friends. Iy made it back domestically but crushed it world wide. After that AMAZING success Raimi got a much bigger budget for 2 and then Army of Darkness of course. AoD is so much different than 1 and 2 but you guys are going to have a blast with that one. 2 is more of a remake of 1 than anything just with a bigger budget.
