Viewing Notes

Pretty fun to revisit this and be able to see Raimi’s style in full swing outside of the EVIL DEAD movies. I didn’t remember the Bruce Campbell cameo and I recognized John Landis’ cameo, but totally missed Bill Lustig as one of the dock workers and the Coen Brothers too. Lots of cameos in this.

Also fun to see Neeson in a more campy role before he became an action star.
