Army of Darkness (1992) review

Part three of Raimi's Evil Dead trilogy carries on where the second one left off: Ash (Bruce Campbell) and his Oldsmobile Delta 88 have been teleported to the 1300's where he's made a slave, saves himself from a death pit, briefly romances fairest Sheila (Embeth Davidtz) and agrees to locate the Book of the Dead in exchange for being returned to modern life ... except he bungles the "secret phrase" needed to "unlock" it and unwittingly unleashes a skeleton army that's commandeered by an rogue version of himself ("Bad Ash").  This is, by far, the goofiest - and most half-assed - of the films, where the extreme violence so prevalent in the previous two is mostly gone, and instead it's more of an action movie (inspired by early Hollywood pictures) with lots of physical comedy by Campbell (he battles with miniature copies of himself in a windmill).  This was a guilty pleasure of mine back in the 90's with its ridiculous one-liners, although nowadays I prefer the earlier entries for their gross-out intensity.  Side note: multiple cuts of this are out there, so this time I screened the 96-minute director's cut, which has the Planet of the Apes-inspired "calamitous" ending.
