Who else loves these flix? I don't know what I'd do without them! My fave of the trilogy is Dead by Dawn. I like it's overall vibe better than TED or AoD. Bruce Campbell & Ted Raimi are two of my favorite actors (along with Ahmed Best). Sam Raimi's flix are always a BLAST!! 
I love his Looney Toons sense of humor. Bruce, like me, is a human cartoon, & thus is perfect as Sam's instrument of comedic mayhem. Ted is too. Jim Carrey's got nothing on Bruce & Ted. Hey, I just thought of something...BRUCE & TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE!!
Notice the different phases Ash goes through in each movie. In TED, he's a lot like Jar Jar. In ED2bD, he's like a cross between Jar Jar and Mad Max (my favorite phase & two uv me favorite characterz). And in AoD, he's more like Han Solo, all jaded and cocky.
AoD is more of an action-comedy. DbD is a horror-comedy. And TED (along with DbD) represents the greatest era of American horror movies (late '70s & all throughout the '80s).
Ever notice how Ash has a different gun in each movie? In TED, he has a 20-gauge single-shot (I don't recognize the make or model because single-shots tend to look generic). In DbD, he has a 12-gauge side-by-side double-barrel which I think is a boxlock Stevens 311-C (I might be wrong about the model but I know it's a Stevens because of the distinctive shape of the Stevens boxlock). And in AoD, he has a 12-gauge side-by-side double-barrel boxlock IGA/Stoeger Coach Gun. I know because I used to have an IGA/Stoeger Uplander (which is the same except with 26" barrels, the Coach Gun has 20-inchers). Like the Stevens, the Stoeger is distincitve and easy to recognize. In DbD, Ash saws the barrels of the Stevens off from 28" to about 12". The Coach Gun he has in AoD has barrels that are about 8" too long in comparison.
I know, I know. You're thinking, "But Ash says his gun is a "12-gauge double-barrel Remington...S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the Sporting Goods Department. That's right...this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. Has a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel...and a hair trigger. That's right...shop smart...shop S-Mart.""
That's just what his line in the movie says it is. In reality, it's a 12-gauge double-barrel Stoeger, which you can find at most department stores (Sporting Goods Department) and gun shops (Uplanders are more likely to be found at department stores, Coach Guns at gun shops). It's okay but not exactly top of the line. IGA/Stoegers are made in Brazil (made by IGA, imported by Stoeger, but are most often referred to as "Stoegers"
and Remingtons are made in...I forget where but it ain't Grand Rapids, Michigan. Stoegers usually cost approximately $400 (over/unders are usually more expensive than side-by-sides made by the same manufacturer). They don't have walnut stocks, they have Brazillian hardwood. They don't have cobalt blue steel, they have a plain blued finish (unless you get the nickel-plated version of the Coach Gun which is awesome and much better than the blued ones). And to my knowledge, there is no side-by-side in existence with a hair trigger. And hopefully, there's no one who would modify one as such. They either have double triggers or a single selective trigger. Over/unders most often have a single selective trigger with a falling firing pin. Side-by-sides with single selective trigger fire right barrel first, then left, whereas the double triggered can be fired either way, although the front trigger operates the right barrel and the rear trigger operates the left. There might be some out there designed in reverse, but I don't know of any. Ash's boomstick has double triggers. you can see if you look close. Double-triggered double-barrels cost less than their single selective counterparts and are mechanically simpler (which is good because simple = more durable).
Being somewhat knowledgable about guns, I would highly recommend NOT even considering a hair trigger. It's good to have a decent amount of pressure required to fire a gun, at least for safety's sake.
So...now that I've cleared that up, what's YORE fave of the Evil Dead trilogy?
