3.0 out of 5 stars
Silly Fun ...with a "Millionaire", August 3, 2002
This review is from: Killer Tomatoes Strike Back [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is the third movie in the Killer Tomato series. It stars John Astin (Addams Family on TV) and Rick Rockwell (Who Wants To Marry A Millionaire). This time Dr. Gangreen wants to take over the world by taking over the news media. Of course, his Killer Tomatoes fit into the plans too. Lance is the one who tries to stop him - with some help from Kennedi who is a Tomatologist. (Yep. She studies Tomatoes.) The jokes are very silly. This is one of those movies you'll think is just dumb or great. It appears to have a bigger budget and stronger script than the original. Although the story might be more developed than the original, I'm not sure if I can say it's a better movie. The original's appeal was in it's very obvious low-budget. The original almost looks home-made. Here the presentation is better, but the script doesn't play out as well. This movie is easier to sit through than the second movie - Return of the Killer Tomatoes (which had most of the actors from the first movie plus George Clooney). Killer Tomatoes Strike Back is about equal to the next movie, Killer Tomatoes Eat France, if you decide you want to see more.

Dr. Gang Green strikes again, February 13, 2006
In a world full of bad news, dirty politicians, and the never ending wars on drugs and terror, there are few things that make life worth living, Killer Tomato movies are one of the few rays of sunshine for this dreary planet.
That's right folks. Dr. Gang Green and his trusty sidekick Igor are at it again trying to take over the world with the deadliest of all fruits (because as we all know, tomatoes technically are fags). This movie starts off with a beautiful blond being chased down by a maniac in a hockey mask. Little do they both know they are both about to be killed by tomatoes wielding chainsaws and wearing hockey masks of their own.
Lt. Finletter is back as the greatest of all tomato fighters. Sam Smith the disguise expert even makes a quick appearance (sort of). The tomatologist, Kennedy Johnyson (who is a heck of a tomato herself) is the eye candy for this flick.
The plot is simple enough. Dr. Gang Green is now trying to use the TV media as the means to which take over. He does a funny Geraldo knock off as a TV talkshow host. Along the way the tomato gags are fast, furious, and hilarious.
It's really simple. If you love one Tomato movie, you'll love them all. If you hate one, well go watch something else and don't bother seeing the other three.

Cooooooooool!, June 28, 2000
This film is just great. It's a bout the evil dr. Ganggren who is trying to brian wash people through his talk show, his evil plan is helped by the evil docters killer tomatoes. It is up to a tomatoeologeist and a cop (a dirty harry spoof) to stop the sinister plan. This is a great film, it has lots of great laughs and is just plane entertaining till the end. The one problem is that if the show situation happened I wouldn't watch the show, cause it seems realy boring. Just don't expect anouther [show] and you'll be fine.
