See this? This is my boom stick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?
[Sheila wants to apologize to Ash]
Ash
First you wanna kill me, now you wanna kiss me. Blow.
Sheila
But what of all those sweet words you spoke in private?
Ash
Oh that's just what we call pillow talk, baby, that's all.
Ash
It's a trick. Get an axe.
Ash
Shop smart, shop S-mart!
Trivia:
Ted Raimi plays the S-Mart store clerk at the end of the movie.
The magic words Ash must use to claim the Book of the Dead are "Klaatu, Barada, Nikto", the same words used to command the robot Gort in The Day the Earth Stood Still.
Director Sam Raimi shot two different endings. One ending has Ash battling a she-demon in a department store in the present. The alternative ending has Ash imbibing a secret potion that would make him sleep one century for each drop of the potion he drinks. He then goes to a cave to sleep. However, he drank one drop too many and wakes up to find a barren post-apocalyptic landscape. The final shot is Ash screaming in rage at a red sky. The Great Britain video version shows the "potion" ending, and the version shown in U.S. theaters showed the "she-demon" ending.
That beat-up Olds that goes through time with Ash belongs to director Sam Raimi. He included it in most of his early movies, each time more banged up than the last. The items in the trunk of the Olds are not product placements; they're what Sam Raimi actually had in his trunk.
All European editions of the movie have the original ending (Ash oversleeping and waking up in a destroyed world.) The US "supermarket battle" ending used to be virtually unknown in Europe for a long time.
Credits Fun:
In the opening credits, Bruce Campbell vs. Army of Darkness instead of "in".
