Line 31:
Any further description of the plot is probably unnecessary. You're either already overwhelmed with an uncontrollable urge to watch this turkey or pondering if its existence indicates western civilization is beyond hope. Possibly both. Would it help if we told you [[George Clooney]] was in it?
''Return of the Killer Tomatoes!'' was a moderate success, and the executives behind it made the kind of decision only corporate executives can make without being deemed insane: What these two non-child-friendly films really need to follow them up is a [[Animated Adaptation|Saturday morning cartoon]].
{{quote|''[[Title Theme Tune|Attack... of the Killer Tomatoes!]]<br />
Line 61:
* [[Ascended Extra]]: The cartoon had a few, but Tomato Guy really stands out. The basis for his character only appeared in one scene of the first movie.
* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: The titular tomatoes don't quite reach 50 feet, but they grow very large for tomatoes. Revolutionary giant killer carrots are also seen.
** However, in the Season One episode ''Camp Casserole... So Vine'', there was an '''''ACTUAL''''' one.
* [[Attack of the Killer Whatever]]: Tomatoes, naturally. Carrots are often promised for sequels, but the carrots are a lie!
** In another Season One episode, the Franken-stem Monster was a carrot!
Line 88:
* [[Evil Is Hammy]]: Dr. Gangreen... 100%!
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: Tomatoes that kill, attack, then return, strike back, and, one presumes, eat Paris. Poor Paris.
* [[Excited Show Title!]]
* [[Expository Theme Tune]]: Loosely so in the case of the first film, the second is clearly an example of this trope, explaining that, yes, you are watching a sequel.
* [[Family-Friendly Firearms]]: Lampshaded.
Line 114:
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Don't call Dr. Gangrene mad. He isn't mad! A little angry sometimes...
* [[Mad Scientist Laboratory]]
* [[Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter]]: Tara mostly fits, but given she was made as a sex-slave in ''Return...'', but in the cartoon, she's an escaped experiment.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Dr. Putrid T. Gangrene. You just can't get a normal job with a name like that.
* [[Medium Awareness]]
