And yes, that's a very young George Clooney in that second screenshot.
Omg i remember drawing these tomatoes as a kid! Ill have to see if i can find that when back at parents house
Holy crap there was more of them
Hah you speak British
🍅 One of the more entertaining B-movies out there. Better than the original as far as I'm concerned. 🍅
I just don't understand what caused the toxic avenger and this to get Saturday morning cartoons. Trying to capture TMNT's lightning in a bottle I guess.
Yes. This.
Being born in the 80's means you got pop culture the wrong way around because all the good shit already happened. From the point of view of a 1985 baby, Star Wars has always been there in exactly the same way as Sherlock Holmes: Long enough for people to make children's media loosely based on it.
So, there's a bunch of us who, when you mention Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, they see a Saturday morning cartoon with talking tomatoes rather than the Sharknado of the 1970's.
The theme song from the cartoon is what started playing in my head when I saw the post lol
Because gen x and millennials watched these movies with their dads.
Every wacky live action thing got turned into a kids cartoon back then. Ghostbusters movie, Ed Grimley SNL sketch, and a ton more i can't remember now

Is that supposed to be Donald Trump or does it just look like him?
^ fruits
Yes and no. There are two classification systems, botanical and culinary. So when the scientists are trying to devise a way to kill the killer tomato, he's a fruit. If he dies and chefs try to figure out how to make his remains into soup, then he's a vegetable
They didn't teach me that in school. I had to learn it from "Return of the Killer Tomatos".
Haha glad i could elucidate!
Holds up better than recent films.
