It has been years since the original Killer Tomato attack was squashed, and pizzamakers Matt (George Clooney) and Chad (Anthony Starke) are living a life rip with good times and non-tomato based sauces. Meanwhile, mad genetic scientist Professor Gangreen (John Astin) is plotting to take over the world by creating a race of mighty tomato warriors and one wanton tomato woman (Karen Mistal). But when Chad falls in love with the bodacious tomato babe, he and Matt must face a deadly rampage of ninjas, newsmen, toxic waste and product placement. Can these two heroes defeat the most fiendish red menace of all or will the girl of their dreams turn out to be a complete vegetable?
 
"...really, really funny. Where else can you see giant, fuzzy mutant tomato talk like cousin It while bouncing around the room like a can of flubber?"  Patrick Naugle, DVD Verdict
"Better than the original and okay viewing for B-movie fans."  The Video Graveyard

 


Editor's Note

It's been 25 years since the Great Tomato War and tomatoes are still banned throughout the country. But up a mountain road, behind guarded gates, a terrible plot is being hatched. Professor Gangreen, a mad scientist, is turning tomatoes into perfect replicas of men and women.

Professional Reviews
DVD Verdict 9 of 10
In 1978 something evil happened...something so dastardly and vile that to speak its name means calling upon the forces of all that is unholy...it was the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! Yes, it's already been well over 20 years since the release of the movie with the greatest title in cinema history. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes was cheap, goofy entertainment that has since gone on to become something of a semi-phenomenon. Spawning three sequels, an animated TV show, and a video game, the little movie that couldn't certainly has grown some legs. In 1988, director John DeBello returned with his grocery items from hell and gave us the deliriously strange Return of the Killer Tomatoes. The man also gets bonus points for featuring George Clooney (Ocean's 11) in one of his first starring film roles...I'm going to come right out and say it: I absolutely love this movie. Love it, love it, love it. Every time I watch it, I laugh like a drunken hyena. Yes, I realize it's silly, low brow entertainment. I also realize that the acting is amateurish, the effects nonexistent, and the story ludicrous. But come on people...this movie is really, really funny. Where else can you see giant, fuzzy mutant tomato talk like cousin It while bouncing around the room like a can of flubber? - Patrick Naugle
