You're not going to believe this, but Return of the Killer Tomatoes is a genuinely funny movie. Ten years after John DeBello made the frowzy, low-budget Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, he brought the fleshy fruit back for a murderous encore. Like the first film, it works as a parody of horror-movie conventions (and it repeatedly makes fun of itself, Mad-magazine style), but this time the budget is higher. There's a great, ongoing send-up of product placement, plus a juicy role for the oft-underutilized John Astin, as the evil genius this kind of movie needs. Just to keep everything moving, another exploitation film keeps cutting in: Big-Breasted Girls Go to the Beach and Take Their Tops Off. It ain't high art, but this movie knows its audience. A young George Clooney plays one of the heroes. --Robert Horton

4.0 out of 5 stars Like Mad Magazine on Film, June 4, 2005

By	Catman (Oregon, USA) - See all my reviews

Probably the best of the 4 part Killer Tomato trilogy. Like Mad Magazine, it's chock full of sight gags, sound gags, satire and clever humor. This was George Clooney's first full length film and compared to the first killer tomato movie, the acting is pretty darn good throughout. Wacky satire at it's best. Next best tomato movie is "Killer Tomatoes Eat France" but it's not yet on DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars How about some Crest? Commercialism was never funnier!, June 30, 2002

By	Daniel J. McCormick "crowtrobot1" (Madison, WI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

AN UNFORGETTABLE FILM! Yes, I am not kidding, and I am not drunk! Okay, it's an extremely silly comedy, drawing from the same vein that was later tapped in "The Naked Gun" films. John "Gomez" Astin & a young bohunk named George Clooney give memorably hilarious performances. Those elements would make the film a delight. This film REALLY stands out when the movie is shut down due to lack of funds. Only blatant product placement can keep this production going. This was a heckuva plot twist for a mere 1988 B-movie, and its rip-roaringly zany execution deserves more accolades & cult appreciation than its received. It took me years to find a used VHS tape of this movie, which was my holy grail of 1997. Discovering this DVD was a dream come true for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars George Clooney wants you to forget this movie..., February 3, 2002

By A Customer

but you never should! This hysterical film cuts through the dry humor of the original Attack of the Killer Tomatoes to give you one laugh after another! What happens when you make half of a movie and run out of money? What should happen to people caught smuggling ketchup? What exactly do you do when you find out that your girlfried is a vegetable? These questions and more are answered in this fantastic movie!
