Quotes:

    Duke Henry
    You're not one of my vassals... who are you?
    Ash
    Who wants to know?
    Duke Henry
    I am Henry the Red. Duke of Shale, Lord of the Northlands and leader of its peoples.
    Ash
    Well hello Mister Fancypants. Well, I've got news for you pal, you ain't leadin' but two things: Jack and shit... and Jack just left town.

    [Upon getting the powered glove in place of his right hand]
    Ash
    Groovy.

    Sheila
    But what of all those sweet words you spoke in private?
    Ash
    Oh that's just what we call pillow talk, baby, that's all.

    Ash
    Yo, she-bitch! Let's go!

    Ash
    Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand things with alloys and compositions and things with ... molecular structures.

Trivia:

  • In accordance with his usual style, the skeletons do a classic Three Stooges routine.
     
  • As various missiles such as catapult loads and arrows fly through the air, we see their targets from the missile's viewpoint, a type of shot that director Sam Raimi uses quite a bit.
     
  • All European editions of the movie have the original ending (Ash oversleeping and waking up in a destroyed world.) The US "supermarket battle" ending used to be virtually unknown in Europe for a long time.
     
  • When Ash calls Wiseman Joe "spinach chin," it is a reference to the 1949 Three Stooges short "Malice in the Palace." In it, Moe calls a man with a long beard "spinach chin."
     
  • That beat-up Olds that goes through time with Ash belongs to director Sam Raimi. He included it in most of his early movies, each time more banged up than the last. The items in the trunk of the Olds are not product placements; they're what Sam Raimi actually had in his trunk.
     

Credits Fun:

  • In the opening credits, Bruce Campbell vs. Army of Darkness instead of "in".
