ARMY OF DARKNESS (1992), Sam Raimi’s follow-up to EVIL DEAD and EVIL DEAD 2, has become one of the holy relics of pop-culture catch-phrases, with a wealth of quotable quotes that can be heard everywhere movie-buffs gather.
This is the story of the perennially luckless one-handed hero Ash (Bruce Campbell), who, chainsaw prosthesis at the ready, has been dropped into the Dark Ages to battle the titular army of bony ghouls for possession of the unholy Necronomicon.
Bruce Campbell, a Raimi-regular, drops one-liners like candy, scattering more than a dozen throughout the movie and from there forever into movie history. Here are some examples:
*
Ash:
Hail to the king, baby!
*
Ash:
Good, Bad, I’m the one with the gun.
*
Ash:
Groovy.
*
Ash:
I got news for you, pal. You ain’t leading but two things right now: Jack and Sh**. And, Jack left town.
*
Sheila (Ash’s love interest, now evil):
You found me beautiful once.
Ash:
Honey, you got real ugly.
*
Ash:
Alright you primitive screw-heads, listen up. See this, This is my boomstick! It’s a 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 one hundred nine, ninety-five. It’s got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That’s right, shop smart, shop S-Mart!

Demon:
I’ll swallow your soul!
Ash:
Come get some.
