Wow, I had forgotten that existed or that I had watched it.
Now I have to start forgetting all over again.

The last bones of “San Diego Stadium” are being carted away as I type. It is weird to have such a large part of my daily landscape disappear utterly.
Edit: Cliché cleanup.

Found at a local flea market years ago, and lives on my bedroom wall. Loved this movie since I was a kid!

“Attack of the Killer Tomatoes” was a double feature with “Cars That Eat People” at the State Theater when I was at the University of Delaware.
I never went to this double feature - I was more of a “Rocky Horror” kinda student.

That final scene of the boss tomato wearing earmuffs haunts me to this day.

I love MST3K and comedy, but for some reason I couldn’t make it through this film. At least now I know how they stopped the tomatoes.

I loved it when I was under ten. Saw it again in my teens and wondered what I was thinking. Still like the songs though.

I saw the movie when I was pretty young, pre-teen maybe, so it’s pretty much impossible for me to look at it objectively. Yeah, a few of the jokes are cringe-worthy now, but I still enjoy it for the dumb-fun, joke-a-minute (non-)guilty pleasure it is.

Great stuff
There was also another game, so loosely based on the film that I struggle to see any connection between the two.

Isometric platformers, tho… a staple of the Spectrum that is long overdue for a renaissance!
