princess
      gets
      kidnapped
      by
      a
      big
      evil
      bat-thing.

      when
      Ash
      splits
      into
      two
      separate
      Ashes
      and
     
     
      gets
      into
      a
      fight
      with
      himself.
      The

      goes

      and
      on.
     
    

    
     
      The
      director,
      Sam
      Raimi,
      is
      another
      one
      of
     
     
      those
      over-the-top
      guys
      who
      likes
      to
      over-
     
     
      dramatize
      every
      scene
      with
      as
      many
      weird
     
     
      camera
      angles
      and
      strangely
      coordinated
      ac-
     
     
      tions
      as
      possible.
      He
      also
      has
      a
      great
      eye
      for
      the
     
     
      humor
      in
      each
      scene.
      You
      will
      laugh
      at
      some
     
     
      scenes
      just
      because
      of
      the
      way
      they
      look.
     
    

    
     
      And
      let’s
      not
      forget
      the
      special
      effects.
      Not
     
     
      so
      cheesy
      that
      they
      distract
      you
      from
      the
      action,
     
     
      but
      just
      lousy
      enough
      fora
      laugh.
      Check
      out
      the
     
     
      scene’
      with
      the
      Army
      of
      Plaster
      Skeletons
      clos-
     
     
      ing
      in
      on
      the
      castle
      of
      the
      good
      guy
      to
      see
      what
     
     
      I
      mean.
     
    

    
     
      The
      film’s
      one
      weak
      spot
      is
      the
      raw-ther
     
     
      lousy
      acting.
      The
      delivery
      of
      the
      best
      one-liner
     
     
      is
      often
      as
      funny
      as
      the
      gag
      itself.
      I
      still
      can’t
     
     
      figure
      out
      if
      it’s
      intentional
      or
      not.
      There
      is
      one
     
     
      good
      actor
      in
      the
      cast
      of
      No-Names:
      Bruce
     
     
      Campbell,
      the
      guy
      who
      plays
      Ash.
      First
      of
      all,
     
     
      he
      looks
      perfect
      for
      the
      part:
      Square
      jaw,
      strik-
     
     
      ing
      eyes,
      good
      hair,
      romance-novel
      body.
      Sec-
     
     
      ond,
      the
      script
      gives
      him
      all
      the
      best
      lines.
     
     
      Third,
      he’s
      got
      a
      wonderful
      range
      of
      facial
     
     
      expressions,
      ranging
      from
      Ticked-Off-But-Still-
     
     
      Noble
      to
      Ouch-That-Really-Hurt
      to
      Whoops-I-
     
     
      Forgot-My-Line.
      That
      rubber
      face
      of
      his
      makes
     
     
      the
      film
      shine.

      the
      hysterical
      book-stealing
      scene,
     
     
      where
      he
      first
