Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Movies with "wacky" titles are almost never any good, and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! was intentionally made to be an instant golden turkey. Despite that, and the grade-Z production values, this is a regularly funny film. You need to be a fan of the kind of low-budget horror movie it's spoofing, and you need to be very forgiving of the technical ineptness and frequent clunkers, but it works. The story? Well, tomatoes attack, basically. Jack Riley and the San Diego Chicken are in it, and that genuinely alarming helicopter crash you see in an early scene was a real accident. Seen now, the whole ratty affair brings back agreeable memories of the circa-1978 college-movie/midnight-cinema era, when seeing this film was virtually unavoidable. The sequel, Return of the Killer Tomatoes! (with a young George Clooney), is actually an even funnier film. Director John De Bello would continue to squeeze the Tomatoes franchise for years to come. --Robert Horton

- Good CornballThis classic movie was never meant to be taken seriously, but it is seriously funny and a great spoof on horror movies.

- The King of Kult Klassics is here!I don't think a movie has become such an "urban legend" or a "myth movie" as much as "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" has. Sure, there are legendary cult films like "Night of the Living Dead", "Eraserhead" and "Killer Klowns From Outer Space", but "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" has basically become the prototype for all the B-movie parodies on TV sketches, the basis for plots on your Saturday morning cartoons, and the definitive "everybody's heard about it, but only half the people have actually ...

- "Pretty classy, huh?" "With a capital K"The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (AotKT) is an absolutely hilarious, cheesy, awful (in a good way) movie that makes it fun to watch. The humor comes before similarly classified "bad" movies such as Airplane, but the style works quite well. It takes a seemingly ridiculous ideas of killer tomatoes and makes it into an over-the-top adventure. Many people will probably call it stupid. I'd agree, but that's what makes the entire film hilarious to watch if you share this kind of humor.

- Cult ClassicThis movie is great. In fact, you have to watch it several times to catch all the humor. I'm sure the movie only cost $25,000 to produce as the special effects are laughable; I'm sure it was intended that way. We've seen this movie several times and still catch things we didn't see the other times. Just a silly funny movie.

- Keep your memories and save your moneyI bought this for a walk down memory lane for my husband's birthday. He saw this movie when he was a teenager, and remembered the theme song, and sings it often. Nostalgia was so much better than the movie. I really regret buying the DVD because he remembered loving the movie, but reality sunk in hard and his memories were shattered with each ridiculous scene.
So...keep your memories and save your money.
