How can you destroy an army that's already dead?
At long last, here lies the closest thing to an "official" Director's Cut of "Army" that you'll ever find. Personally, I think there is always merit in any version of a film that preserves what the makers intended. So, for your consideration, we submit the REAL film, complete with the original ending, which I think is far more appropriate.
On behalf of Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert, I'd like to thank all of you fans (you know who you are) for your loyal support of this ridiculous series of films -- you are directly responsible for the demand to make this version available. May you revel in 96 minutes of excess and may you never, ever, run out of sugar...baby!
Best to ya,
Bruce "Don't call me Ash" Campbell

A filmmaker's nightmare! - 4 out of 5 (8/31/2000)
"Army Of Darkness" may have been a horror fan's dream but it was afilmmaker's nightmare. The beleaguered film took over three years tomake and finally get released. Sam Raimi co-wrote and directed the filmwhich was to be released by Dino De Laurentis. This was at the time thatthe De Laurentis film company was undergoing serious financial trouble.
"Army of Darkness" was to be the savior of the studio. But theydidn't have the money to give it a wide release. They released an editedversion of t

THE KING OF ONE-LINERS IS ASH - 4.25 out of 5 (12/20/2000)
This is truly a GREAT cult classic now on DVD with a different ending and some never before seen scenes. Campy humor, one-liners and really funny special effects make this a movie you'll want to watch over and over again. A must have for any Army of Darkness or Evil Dead I/II fan!

For once, a director's cut inferior to the short version - 3.25 out of 5 (12/4/2000)
The "Director's Cut" was a disappointment. For once, I agree with the studio and the cuts they made. The 81 minute version is a better movie. Aside from the changed ending (and depriving us of the best line in the film, "Hail to the king, baby,"), the Director's Cut also removed some other of the great lines. What makes it so strange is that in the commentary, even the Raimis and Bruce Campbell seemed to agree that the lines in the original release were better. This begs the question "why d
