Summary: Similarities
Review: This movie would be great for anyone who enjoys spoof movies such as Airplane, Naked Gun, etc. The best part would be the song played during the movie - Puberty Love.

Summary: Not even worth the one star
Review: Tomatoes come alive and start killing people. The goverment want to try and find a way to stop the tomatoes before they take over the world. There is the plot for you, the best thing about this movie is the title, this movie is more a comidy then a horror movie but it is a very failed cmoidy indeed. No one of the jokes in the entire movie made me laugh, I was bored for the whole time. It took me awhile to reach the end of the movie, I kept stopping it and going off to do something else. I actully looked forwards to seeing this movie, I really did, it sounded like a right laugh but sadly it wasn't. The only reason I've reviewing this movie on the web site is in hope that I can help people realise that the movie is not like the title promises at all. Please the movie is the dullest thing, rent it at your own risk.

Summary: Meeting Expectations
Review: What so many people don't realize is that Attack of the Killer Tomatoes was made to be bad. It was written as a cheesy satirie of a silly genre of films. I think it achieved that. The expectations were met. There are two classic scenes: The Japanese scientist being dubbed and the slow speed car chase. They both stand out in my mind. A bit of trivia: The helicopter crash early in the movie was real. They didn't plan on it crashing, but got it on film. Nobody was hurt, but the helicopter was obviously destroyed. Jack Riley (the future Mr. Carlin on the Bob Newhart Show) was in it when it crashed.Finally: The guy in the Arab outfit in the final scene was me. I wonder why my career didn't take off after that? Oh, well.

Summary: Classic Low Standards Make This an All Time Great
Review: When this film was first released, it produced a reaction that was far from surprise. How can a miniscule-budgeted monster movie that chooses tomatoes as its title terror be good? Well, it isn't, really. The filmmakers knew this from the start, and simply hung onto the coattails of camp and originality. It worked. What we have here is one of the ultimate outlets for people who have a need for utter nonsense in their lives. I have seen this film at least 15 times. It sincerely has surprising potential as a favorite among just the right viewer. What starts off as a watchable mess of sight gags will become a memorable and cherishable mess of sight gags. It's great! Not for close-minded and/or boring people.

Summary: My dog got up and walked out
Review: While watching this movie one night my dog got up and left the room. I however, loved it. I have the first 2 on tape, and if I want to be left alone, all I have to do is pop one of them in the VCR, and my husband disappears. Does anyone know where I can get the others on tape? It is funnier than all of the "Friday the 13th" and "Nightmare on Elm Streets" combined. How anyone can give less than 5 stars is beyond me.

Summary: Heed its warning!
Review: Why does everyone put down this movie as a joke? A low-budget horror comedy that deserves little credit or recognition. People in the 70's were obviously as stupid as people are today. Here in the 21st Century the majority of people are listening to bad, fast-food type music and getting off on multi-million dollar movies that stink.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes was not just a movie, it was a prophecy. Watch the movie closely and you will be shocked at how these people foreshadowed the future. It was as if someone read the prophesies of Nostradamos and made a movie. Consider if you will.
Killer Tomatoes - The tomatoes are symbolic. This was 1979 and what was the menace on the horizon? The Russians, the Evil Empire, The Communist Menace. The tomatoes were little `Reds' that were to infiltrate and destroy America. Throughout the 80's the Cold War ensued and at the end of it, and at the end of this film America had won.
Puberty Love - What can kill killer tomatoes? The song Puberty Love. But what was the song really? It was the warning that something even worse than Communists were going to affect America. It was AIDS. AIDS the killer disease that is spread by exchanging bodily fluids. Listen to the words of Puberty Love and you will notice that the letters A, I, D, and S appear many times in the song, mostly in that order. Do you see in the stadium, where everyone is stomping on the tomatoes? The tomatoes are defenseless and so are we, no cure has yet been found. Ah, but there was the big tomato with the ear muffs on! The lesson? Abstinence can save you.
What about the commercial man? He can make an ad for everything. Do you remember the `Ultimate Commercial"? It was "I, Jesus Christ, for Technitron". Yes, Jesus as a money making gimmick. In the 80's we saw the rise of Robert Tilton and many other religious scumbags who spelled Jesus as JE$U$.
Mason-Dixon? Here is an interesting fellow. The hero. Who is the hero we are still waiting for? George W. Bush? Ha ha! Try again. Only time will tell who will be the hero that saves the Earth from itself. You can be sure his initials will be M.D. Time can only tell. I used to think it was Mike Donaldson, but I was wrong. Maybe it will be Mike Ditka afterall.

Summary: Who made the salad?
Review: Yes, there are movies made to be bad. The producer of this film made a wholehearted and sincere effort to make this the most appalling and repugnant movie of all time. I'm not sure of the success since I can't make comparisons; I don't usually waste my time or money viewing these types of films. Here we get to see the havoc wreaked on one of California's finest cities, San Diego. It left me to think where the Padres and Chargers would play their home games and where the Marine Corps would relocate their west coast boot training facilities if the tomatoes succeeded in destroying the city. If you are entertained by these types of flicks, you won't be disappointed by this one. Did they ever make a sequel where the tomatoes attacked Camden, New Jersey to get their revenge on the Campbell Soup Company?
