Overview

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The MGM Hong Kong Region 3 DVD edits together the U.S. Theatrical, European and Director's

cuts into a final, 96-minute cut of the film. The film is digitally re-mastered, compiled

from original source prints (not from VHS sources as the Anchor Bay Entertainment releases

are).



The protagonist, Ash, who discovered the Necronomicon ex Mortis[1], or "Book of the Dead",

that unleashed demonic forces in the previous films The Evil Dead and Evil Dead II, is

sucked into a time vortex with his Oldsmobile, an event caused by reading the spell to

defeat the demons. He ends up in a medieval land around 1300 AD ("As near as I can figure")

, where he is believed to be the "Hero From The Sky", the man destined to deliver

salvation to mankind from the "Deadites", or the undead, as is told at the end of Evil

Dead II. The plot, though, alters somewhat between the ending of Evil Dead II and the

beginning of Army of Darkness.



Instead of being praised, Ash is at first believed to be one of Duke Henry's men, a

Scottish people at war with the English knights who find him. Ash is enslaved, his gun

and chainsaw confiscated, and is taken to a castle. A priest keeps Ash's weapons,

believing the "strange one" to be a redeemer, foretold in prophecy to be the one who

shall deliver mankind from the terror of the Deadites. Ash is thrown in a pit where he

fights off a Deadite, regains his weapons, and uses his "boomstick", a Remington

double-barreled shotgun, to frighten the inhabitants of the kingdom into helping him

return to his own time.



The only way to return to his time and stop the Deadites, according to the priest who

gave Ash back his weapons, is to retrieve the Necronomicon - which contains both spells.

Ash is supposed to speak a mysterious phrase when he takes the Necronomicon [2]. While

preparing for this, Ash becomes romantically involved with a local woman, Sheila.



Ash then journeys for the Necronomicon, along the way passing into a haunted forest.

Some unseen creature pursues Ash through the woods, which the camera shows from the

creature's point of view. At one point the camera passes between two trees, and a face

(or perhaps a mask) appears on the lefthand tree. It is unclear what the face is about,

but interviews with Raimi suggest that there is no particular significance to it.



While running from the unseen creature, Ash ducks into a windmill where he crashes into

a mirror. The small reflections of Ash climb out from the shattered mirror and torture

him. After knocking him unconscious and tying him down, one of the little Ashes dives

down his throat. Ash attempts to kill the little Ash by drinking boiling water, but

before any effect can be assumed, "Evil Ash" begins to split off from his right shoulder.

Ash panicks and runs back out through the woods, where Evil Ash completely splits off

of him. Ash shoots Evil Ash in the face, slices him to bits with his chainsaw, and

buries him alive.



When he arrives at the book's location, he sees three books instead of one. After a

painful experience with the two fake books, Ash finds the real one. He attempts to say

the words, but realizes he forgot them. Ash tries to trick the book by mumbling, but

that re-releases the Evil Dead. He grabs the book and rushes back to the castle. During

Ash's panicked trek back, Evil Ash rises from his grave and unites the deadites into the

Army of Darkness.



Despite causing the predicament faced by the humans, Ash initially demands to be

returned to his own time. When Sheila is captured by a flying Deadite, he becomes

determined to lead the humans against the Deadite army. Reluctantly, the people agree

to join Ash. Using scientific knowledge from the future, from chemistry and engineering

books in the trunk of his Oldsmobile, plus enlisting the help of Duke Henry (whom Ash

saved after his conflict in the pit), Ash successfully leads the humans to defeat the

Deadites and save Sheila. After this Ash uses the book, and made to sleep for 100 years.

Because of this Ash stays young and is sent back to the present, but finds a Deadite

terrorizing shoppers at S-Mart, where he works. Ash defeats the Deadite in his classic

style, and the film ends with Ash saying, "Hail to the king, baby", and kissing a female

co-worker.
