just some info about the orginal film for you members
Quote:
The film opens with a scroll dictating that, when Alfred Hitchcock's film The Birds (1963) was released, audiences laughed at the notion of birds revolting against humanity, but when an attack perpetrated by birds occurred in 1975, no one laughed. This is followed by a pre-credits sequence of a tomato rising out of a woman's garbage disposal unit. Her puzzlement turns into terror as the tomato draws her into a corner. Following the credits, we see the police investigating her death. One officer discovers that the red substance she is covered with is not blood, but tomato juice.
A series of attacks perpetrated by tomatoes occur (including a sequence where the tomatoes attack innocent swimmers, in a parody of Jaws). While the President's press secretary Jim Richardson and Ted Swan, the CEO of the fictional Mindmaker advertising agency, try to convince the public there is no tomato threat by unleashing a publicity blitz, the nation's officials employ a crack team of specialists under the command of Mason Dixon to try and find a way to defeat the tomatoes. Dixon's team includes Sam Smith, an African-American disguise expert who is seen at various points dressed as, among other things, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and even Adolf Hitler; Navy diver Greg Colburn; Russian Olympic swimmer Gretta Attenbaum; and parachute-toting Wilbur Finnletter.
Smith is sent out to infiltrate the tomatoes, eventually blowing his cover when he asks if anyone could "pass the ketchup." Finletter is sent to a hotel, and suspects Fairchild, who tries to follow him for information, of being a spy. Both Finletter and Dixon are targeted by an unknown assassin. While driving, Dixon's car is cornered by large tomatoes who scurry away when the song "Puberty Love" by Ronny Desmond comes on the radio. Dixon is kidnapped by Richardson, who it turns out is actually the one behind the tomato revolt. Dixon manages to outwit him and escapes with a copy of "Puberty Love" on vinyl.
The tomatoes are cornered in a stadium. "Puberty Love" is played over the loudspeaker, causing the tomatoes to shrink and allowing the various people at the stadium to squash them by stomping on them repeatedly. Fairchild, meanwhile, is cornered by a giant tomato wearing earmuffs. Dixon saves her by showing the tomato the sheet music to "Puberty Love." He professes his love to her, in song. The film ends by showing a carrot that rises from the Earth and says "All right, you guys. They're gone now." Similar gags suggesting that a carrot revolt is not far off are also used at the end of future Killer Tomatoes films.
