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.

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.

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.

Professor Gangreen (John Astin) has returned, still intent on world domination. This time, he's decided to use television to create a world of stupified tele-zombies (er, isn't he a tad late for that?)! Through his insidious TV personality, "Jeronahue", Gangreen sets his diabolical plot in motion. Oh yeah, there are killer tomatoes rolling around as well. Can supercop Lance Boyle (Rick Rockwell) and a stunning tomatologist (Crystal Carson) possibly hope to thwart the devilish professor's plans, or is the earth doomed to a bleak future of tomato-induced, talkshow hell?? Things look very grim indeed. Let us pray that Boyle and company can beat the impossible odds...

What can I say? If you like the Killer Tomato movies you must have it.

Professor Mortimer Gangreen (John Astin) is back. He evidently never watched "Pinky and the Brain "(1995 TV series). He has plans disguised as Jeronahew to take over the world by using bad television.

First he must get revenge, get retribution, and get even with previous opponents. Out to foil his plot, Dr. Kennedi Johnson (Crystal Carson) best know Tomatologist. She has a close encounter with a killer tomato and a shower curtain. Also the unwitting Police Detective Lance Boyle (Rick Rockwell) who does not quite believe in killer tomatoes until it is too late. Then there is the return of FT; whose side is he on this time?

Is John Astin becoming a better actor or just being himself? As usual full of puns and one liner's. Be prepared for the sequel.

Killer Tomatoes Eat France ~ John Astin

Following the infamous Tomatoes Attacks movies, this one is a comedy like Top Secret and Airplane. Well saying, it tries to be, 'cause it's much inferior than that, the jokes are extremely stupid. Even so, it has some good gags, like the English-Tomatoe dictionary...

A sequel that should have never been made was and it is terrible. This is so bad that it is hilarious. This movie fits right in between Godzila vs Mothra and Night of the Living Dead. For those of you unfamilar with the first movie, the evil Dr. Ganggreen is at it again trying to take over the world using "Killer Tomatoes". The same crew has to stop him again. This is a great movie at half the price. Buy it if you need a break from good movies.
