Killer Tomatoes Strike Back!

Things that Go &quot;splut&quot; in the Night

Say what you want about the &quot;Killer Tomato&quot; flicks, but this particular entry does contain one of the better and more beautiful homage sequences to classic horror milestones that I&apos;ve seen in a long, long time. There&apos;s a wondrous scene that spoofs/tributes &quot;Jaws&quot;, &quot;Psycho&quot; and &quot;The Omen&quot; all at the same time. During a virulent tomato attack in the shower, both the uncomfortable tune of &quot;Jaws&quot; and the satanic music of &quot;The Omen&quot; can be heard. Very pleasant regardless of how stupid it sounds and looks. 

I seem to be watching the &quot;Killer Tomato&quot; franchise in reversed order. The fourth and thus far final episode &quot;Killer Tomatoes Eat France&quot; was the first film I watched – and admittedly quite liked – and this second sequel (the one NOT starring George Clooney in an early embarrassing role) is also my second acquaintance. This time, the killer tomatoes and their wacky master Dr. Gangrene are back. The crazed maniacal scientist now even hosts a TV talk show and fiendishly plots to take over the world via subliminal brainwash messages. The only people who are able to stop him are the sport-addicted detective Wilbur Finletter, who denies the existence of killer tomatoes, and the sexy female &quot;tomatologist&quot; Kennedi Johnson. Like with &quot;Killer Tomatoes Eat France&quot;, the film relies on a handful of downright hilarious situations and genuinely clever gags, but the overall wholesome of the script is plot-free and juvenile. Personally, I find it very amusing to watch tomatoes wearing tiny little Jason Voorhees hockey masks or ninja outfits, but obviously you can&apos;t really refer to it as being a good film. John Astin obviously enjoys himself very much, as he purposely aims his over-the-top evil laughs directly into the camera and combs his longish hair in such a wild and unmannered style that he looks even more deranged. I guess it&apos;s because movies like this one that some brainiac invented the term &quot;guilty pleasure&quot;.

Say what you want about the "Killer Tomato" flicks, but this particular entry does contain one of the better and more beautiful homage sequences to classic horror milestones that I've seen in a long, long time. There's a wondrous scene that spoofs/tributes "Jaws", "Psycho" and "The Omen" all at the same time. During a virulent tomato attack in the shower, both the uncomfortable tune of "Jaws" and the satanic music of "The Omen" can be heard. Very pleasant regardless of how stupid it sounds and looks.
