"THE VEGETABLES OF DOOM RETURN... THIS TIME THEY'RE REALLY STEWED"
first there was "attack of the killer stomatoes", next "Return of the killer tomatoes", then "the killer tomatoes strike back" and finally "the killer tomatoes eat France"... but the very best of this series of bad taste late eighties humour, is no doubt "return of the killer tomatoes" 94 minutes of low-budget hilarious eighties humour, sometimes slapsticklike, but mostly rediculous!
I could also have placed this movie in the "Kult"-section, because it reached a legendary cultstatus worldwide!
Directed by John de Bello (also known for ''Black Dawn''), who also did the scenario, montage, music of the movie AND played a little role in the movie too! starring a BRILLIANT John Astin ("Gomez" from the original addams family-series, frightners, gremlins II) as mad professor Mortimer Gangreen, Anthony Starke (Licence to kill, nowhere to run, repossessed) as Chad, a good looking Karen Mistal as Tara and a very young and silly looking GEORGE CLOONEY as Matt!!! Teri Weigel, a former playboy playmate, played a little role as Mattīs girlfriend... who became pornstar after this movie!
anthony starke and george clooney!

Synopsis from Wikipedia Set ten years after the events of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (referred to as the Great Tomato War in the movie), the basic plotline is that after the events of the first film (where the tomatoes were stopped by the worst song ever composed called "Puberty Love") the misanthropic villain, Professor Mortimer Gangreen (Played by John Astin), has created a tomato transformation chamber by which he can turn ordinary tomatoes into humans. By dipping ordinary tomatoes into vats of toxic waste and then placing them into the chamber, Gangreen uses music to his advantage, as the juke box that is hooked up to the chamber syncs up with the tomato transformation chamber, allowing him to create virtually anything by the use of whatever song he's picked. With these, he plans to conquer the world. Though the veterans of the Great Tomato War have something to say about that...
This film marks the appearance of FT, the Fuzzy Tomato. Other notable characters are Chad Finletter (Anthony Starke), nephew of Wilbur Finletter (the semi-main, but more popular, character of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes) and his girlfriend Tara (Karen Mistal), who is actually a female Killer Tomato turned into an attractive girl by the device. Tara turns back into a tomato when she hears the opening musical notes of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony; however, the musical notes of the theme to Gone with the Wind restores her to human form.
The characters and timeline of this film were recycled for the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: The Animated Series (with some changes, such as Professor Gangreen's first name being changed to Putrid and his title being changed from 'Professor' to 'Doctor' and Tara having an 'allergy' to salt which changes her back into a tomato with pepper changing her back to human form).
Return of the Killer Tomatoes also has the distinction of being one of George Clooney's earliest movies
I have the collectors edition DVD...
silly, rediculous, funny as hell... 7,5/10
