rachellynn-91368 Anyone who says they hate this movie has no sense of humor. Unbelievably hilarious so so so funny! I bought this without seeing it and I have no regrets. It is a new addition to my list of favorites
Michael_Elliott Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! (1978) * (out of 4) A small community comes under attack by some mutants tomatoes. The police can't do anything and none of the locals know what to do so it's up to a group of scientists to try and stop the madness.ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES!, as the title clearly suggests, isn't a film that's meant to be taken serious. This here basically spoofs countless horror movies but the killer here are little tomatoes. Comedy is a very funny thing because it's so subjective on so many levels. Everyone will have their own level of taste and everyone has their own comedy level where they're willing to laugh.For me, I give this film a lot of credit for trying to be as stupid as possible and there's no question that it tries to be as silly as possible. Sadly, to me this is a pretty poor film because it simply didn't make me laugh. I laughed at maybe three percent of the jokes so I felt that the majority of them fell flat. The tomato attack sequences just didn't work as comedy and I thought most of them were rather stupid. Again, some will find the idea of tomatoes attacking to be very funny. It just wasn't for me.
joaco-h-s This movie is really bad. It has a great start. A funny start. The premise of "killer tomatoes" is quite funny and promising. The first tomato kill is fun, with tomatoes flying (thrown) against their victim. The movie moves on to a couple good jokes. But that's all. After a few minutes the jokes turn bad and predictable. They try too hard. After the beginning, there were few good moments.This is a boring film. It tries to be funny and fails terribly. There are much better films of the genre. Look for something else to watch.Cheers 1
HumanoidOfFlesh All the tomatoes of the US come to life grown to large proportions and are attacking and devouring housewives.It's up to Mason Dixon to stop the revolt of tomatoes.His group includes a master of disguise,a Russian Olympic swimmer,an underwater specialist who always wears his scuba suit and a soldier who always wears his parachute.Extremely kitschy comedy with few corny horror elements involving ketchup.The film-makers obviously intended "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" to be bad as the plot is filled with terrible acting and laughable dialogue.The film is truly stupid beyond belief.Followed by three inferior sequels:"Return Of The Killer Tomatoes!","Killer Tomatoes Strike Back!" and "Killer Tomatoes Eat France!" and an animated series plus videogame.6 killer tomatoes out of 10.
