Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Fresh and Exciting

Don't Believe the Hype

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

I absolutely love movies like this, silly B movies, but this one didn't strike me as well as a lot of them do. I just didn't find myself laughing as much as I normally do, or compelled if I wasn't laughing, or even really enjoying the premise as much as I normally do. Still, I sat through the whole thing and am taking the time to review it, so I guess a 6 will do. There's just better stuff out there.

This is a monster movie about giant tomatoes. This is one of the very few comedy movies I think is funny. I hate most comedy movie. But I like this one. I also like the sequel. Return of the killer tomatoes. That one is better then this one. The third movie Killer tomatoes strike back is also better. The forth killer tomatoes movie Killer tomatoes eat France is better. 4.6 is underrating it. This is one of the funniest movies from the 70's. This movie has a great story line. It also has great special effects. L.O.L This movie is very funny. L.O.L L.O.L L.O.L L.O.L. This movie is a must see. See all the killer tomatoes movies. There are very funny.

Anyone who thinks they're going to get cinematic quality from a title such as this should be quarantined and re-educated immediately! But for those looking for an insanely silly and over the top flick to snicker at, this could very well be the one! In line with movies like Airplane! and The Naked Gun series, but more outrageous and aware of it's budget constraints, If the actors had any credible talent to begin with, they were told to leave it all by the door before they came on set. And borderline politically incorrect - but balanced. IE; when the overdubbed Japanese scientist explains 'Tomatoes are not vegetables gentleman, they're fags.' And a nerdy scientist covers for him and explains 'He means fruits...' And at the end of the meeting a general says 'Well, we better go out and take a look at the situation. But you better bring your jackets, as there's a little Jap in the air..' And the nerd scientist whispers to the Japanese associate 'He means 'nip'...' All in all, it's good clean fun, sans vulgarity, gratuitous nudity, or REALLY dumb plot twists such as alien domination or some crazed vegan out to teach the world a lesson. There's a little bit of intrigue though, as someone tries to thwart Mason Dixon from discovering how to repel the tomatoes. But hardly anything to grip ones armchair over. How silly can adults be? Watch this movie, and ye shall see!

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1978): Dir: John DeBello / Cast: David Miller, George Wilson, Sharon Taylor, Stephen Peace, Ernie Meyers: One of the most hilariously cheesy yet innovative comedies ever produced. Simply put, the world is overrun by killer tomatoes. First occurrence happens when a woman is attacked in her kitchen after a tomato emerges from the garbage disposal. The president is alerted and a team is assembled to join the military in battling this outburst. The tomatoes vary in size and resemble red painted beach balls that roll after victims with either squashing or off screen snacking resulting. John DeBello is the director behind this zany fiasco and despite its obvious budget restraints he renders the screenplay an attack on invasion films with an amusing jab at Jaws. David Miller plays Mason Dixon who leads the investigation, which began in the smallest board room imaginable. George Wilson plays Jim Richardson whose motive are hilariously questionable. Sharon Taylor plays reporter Lois with an amusing reference to Clark Kent and Superman thrown in for good measure. Stephen Peace is the real show stopper as parachute brandishing soldier Finletter whose brave determination is only countered by his naïve nature. Topped off with a president who spends every minute signing his name, this is one hilarious invasion film that will have viewers doubt the produce department. Score: 9 / 10
