Quotes:
|
-
Demon: I'll swallow your soul!! I'll swallow your soul!!
[Ash points his shotgun at the Demon's head]
Ash: Swallow this!
-
[Upon gaining the chain saw in place of his lost right hand]
Ash: Groovy.
-
Ash: [talking to mirror] I'm fine... I'm fine...
[Mirror Ash jumps out of the mirror and grabs Ash.]
Mirror Ash: I don't think so. We just cut up our girlfriend with a chainsaw. Does that sound "fine"?
-
Henrietta: Someone's in my fruit cellar! Someone with a fresh soooul!
-
Ash: That's right... who's laughing now... who's laughing *now*?

Trivia:
|
- A glove belonging to A Nightmare on Elm Street's Freddy Krueger can be seen hanging near the steps in one of the cellar scenes. This was in response to the use of The Evil Dead on a television screen in A Nightmare on Elm Street.
- Often considered to be a remake of the first Evil Dead, however this is not accurate. The rights to show scenes from the original could not be obtained to re-cap what happened, so they recreated the beginning to explain how Ash got to the cabin, a headless Linda, etc.
- One of the books on the can that traps Ash's possessed hand is "A Farewell to Arms."
- Professor Knowby's dead wife is said to be in the "fruit cellar," a reference to Psycho.
- Ash's chainsaw appears to switch hands in one scene. This is because Sam Raimi decided Ash should walk the opposite way across the room in that scene, so he flipped the negative.
