Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Tomatoes. You pickle them for your ketchup. You squish them for your tomato juice. You cut them to pieces and feast on their raw corpses in your salads. You treat them like vegetables.But tomatoes are fruits.And they're not going to take it anymore.In 1978, a film was made spoofing B monster movies, in which tomatoes mysteriously gain sentience and mobility, becoming killer tomatoes, which then attack. It was, sensibly, called Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! No genre was safe as the self-billed "Musical-Comedy-Horror Show" ripped up everything from romantic comedies to spy films, pausing long enough to take pot shots at superheroes and politics. Despite being made for less than $100,000, it's generally regarded as a failure at the box office. It, nonetheless, earned a cult following and practically became the defining film for So Bad, It's Good. (If a parody can count as that, anyway.)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })This would have been the end for the red menace (no, not that red menace), if it hadn't been for an episode of Muppet Babies using footage from the film to narrate a story called, "Attack of the Silly Tomatoes". It was a highly rated episode and New World Pictures inexplicably decided the world needed a sequel and offered the creators of the original 2 million dollars to film one.Return of the Killer Tomatoes! was released in 1988 and featured the same devotion to quality special effects, acting skills, and tightly scripted dialog as the first film: Still none detectable. Although it clearly does benefit from the increased budget, the film retains the original's tongue-in-cheek self-aware bad-movie quality, only now with more sex jokes. This film also introduces the villainous Mad Scientist Professor Gangreen, played by John Astin, who apparently enjoyed chewing on the scenery a lot as he returned for every subsequent sequel (and the Animated Adaptation, where his name was changed from "Mortimer" to "Putrid" and his title became Doctor).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })The plot, such as it is, takes place ten years after the first film. Tomatoes have been outlawed! But, alas, the younger generation has forgotten the threat they pose, and tomato smuggling is at an all-time high. Chad Finletter, nephew of the hero of the Tomato Wars, has fallen for Tara, who serves the mysterious doctor Gangrene. Little does Chad know that Tara has a dark secret; she is secretly a tomato! Can true love bring peace to all, or will blood prove thicker than chlorophyll?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 Saturday morning cartoon.Called Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!, but based mostly on Return of the Killer Tomatoes!, it tones down the sex and violence, ups the kiddy antics, and adds in a huge dose of satire to make it tolerable to adults. The result is stunningly watchable, which, sadly, also meant it would be Screwed by the Network. One notable feature of the series was the large number of Fourth Wall jokes, including the regular appearance of Censor Lady, the woman charged with keeping the show suitable for children. In one memorable appearance in the episode Spatula, Prinze of Dorkness, she demanded the vampire tomato that Gangrene had created to cease talking about biting and blood, and do something more wholesome to turn victims into vampires, such as kissing them... and guess who wound up as the first victim!The first season was a spoof on movies, while the second had a plot for world domination.While the animated series didn't last long, two further movies were made: Killer Tomatoes Strike Back! and Killer Tomatoes Eat France!. An Atari 2600 game was an Homage to the film, called Revenge of the Beefsteak Tomatoes. | |

Darker and Edgier: The second season of the animated series turned the Tomatoes into ugly giant creatures and had Gangrene take over the world. It should be noted that this helped get the series canceled as the new toys were rather frightening to small children. | |

Tempting Fate: The heroes in the Animated Series comment that they'll have to defeat Gangrene because he never succeeds in the opener to the Second Season. He then beats them and the entire season is about his domination of the world. The second season premiere also lampshades Gangrene's success at the end of the episode: "This is not a two-parter, this is a one-parter." | |

The Cameo | |
| Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: Gary Condit has an uncredited cameo in the "bar fight" scene in Return of the Killer Tomatoes, years before he was more famously involved in another sort of fracas. Not exactly a cameo, but "Puberty Love" was sung by Matt Cameron, future drummer for Soundgarden and Pearl Jam (he is credited as "Foo" Cameron). | |

Mythology Gag: In "Give a Little Whistle", the first episode of the animated series, Dr. Gangreen mentions he can cause a tomato frenzy with six milk bottles and a tuning fork.

Even Evil Has Standards: One episode of the animated series sees Dracula himself provide Doctor Gangrene with a vampire formula. Almost the entire town becomes vampires as a result, but Dracula ultimately provides the cure. Why? Because he feels the townspeople don't have the class to be vampires. | |

No Fourth Wall: Return had a completely pointless seeming Framing Device. That was until the final reel, where it literally broke the fourth wall by calling Dr. Gangrene during the movie, causing a key distraction. And that pizza really took a long time to fall. The cartoon broke the fourth wall at least Once per Episode. Let's face it. The fourth wall doesn't even exist in this franchise. You might as well stick your hand in the TV-screen and shake hands with the cast. In Eat France Michael/Marc gets fed up with the reveal that his character dies halfway through the movie and simply walks off the set. The director is even holding a sign that says "Plot hole this way ->" | |

Brown Note: In the first film, the worst pop song of all time, "Puberty Love" is one for the tomatoes. It was so bad, one giant tomato, wore earmuffs to block it out... that is, until the hero showed the song to it... in sheet music! In the second film, the tomatoes are all music-controlled, with Tara being turned back into a helpless, non-killer tomato whenever Beethoven's Fifth is played, then reverts to a human after Tara from Gone With the Wind is played. Nobody thinks to use this on the villainous tomato men. | |

Sequel Hook | |
| Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! / int_6293c185 | comment |
Sequel Hook: Every film in the series does this. The first film ends with carrots sprouting from the ground and deciding that it is safe to start their attack now that the tomatoes have been defeated. The second film states in the opening song that a third film would be in the cards if the second film is successful enough and also states in the credits to look out for Killer Tomatoes Eat France, even though the third film was entitled Killer Tomatoes Strike Back with Eat France becoming the fourth film in the series. Professor Gangreen turns up during the credits of the third film after apparently being killed by his tomatoes and promises to return yet again. The fourth and final film ends with Professor Gangreen escaping and again promising to return. | |

Real Life Writes the Plot: The helicopter crash early in the film was NOT scripted, but happened to occur in front of the cameras, so it was written in. The director noted in an interview that they couldn't have afforded so fancy a "special effect" had they wanted it, but since they didn't, insurance covered it. | |

Wilbur Finletter: Parachute expert. (Yes, parachute expert. He actually becomes the Ensemble Dark Horse of the original movie's cast.) Sam Smith: Master of Disguise Gretta Attenbaum: Exercise expert Greg Colburn: Underwater expert Not to mention the mob that Wilbur gathers at the end of the first movie to fight the tomatoes. The credits list them as "Every screwball in San Diego County." | |

In the second season Gangreen mutated the six and sure enough not only did Zoltan, Fang, Mummato, Beefsteak, Ketchuck, and Tomacho become bigger threats but they actually got Gangreen to succeed in taking over the world, until they overthrew him. | |
