    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Bruce Campbell says that in order to make it appear that the chainsaw was always running, tobacco smoke was pumped through a tube that was slid up his right pant leg, up his shirt, and into the chainsaw.
    • Goofs
      (at around 29 mins, extended versions only) As Ash is being chased through the forest on his horse, you can see a black pickup truck in a three-second shot on the right of the screen as it follows Ash.
    • Quotes
      • Ash: Yeah!
      • [after shooting King Arthur's sword in half]
      • Ash: Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my BOOMSTICK! The twelve-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 a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?
    • Crazy credits
      Ash can be heard laughing over the beginning of the credits in the original ending.
    • Alternate versions
      The German "New Remastered Special Limited Edition" - VHS from "Screen Power" made one ending out of both alternative endings. It starts with the ending where Ash sleeps after he takes the drops. Suddenly a text-card appears, which says that Ash has a dream, while he is sleeping over the centuries. Then the ending in the supermarket starts. After it's finished, the "sleep"-ending goes on, where it has stopped. This version also includes 4 scenes from the Director's Cut and runs 104 minutes.
