ASH'S CAR HAD A LOT OF SCREEN EXPERIENCE. Fonda-a huge Evil Dead II fan-had originally auditioned to be in Raimi’s previous film, Darkman, but didn’t get the part. She is the third actress in three films to play Linda (following actresses Betsy Baker and Denise Bixler). BRIDGET FONDA FINALLY GOT TO WORK WITH RAIMI.īridget Fonda makes a cameoas Ash’s girlfriend Linda during the beginning flashback sequence. Raimi’s original title for Army of Darkness was The Medieval Dead.
EVEN THE SHORTER TITLE WASN'T RAIMI'S FIRST CHOICE.Īrmy of Darkness is the third installment of the Evil Dead series and the first to take place during the Middle Ages.
This phrasing was Sam Raimi’s homage to the defunct Hollywood tradition of putting stars’ names in movie titles (like Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein)-but the studio feared the long title would confuse moviegoers, so it was shortened for official purposes to just Army of Darkness. The film’s title is stylized onscreen as Bruce Campbell vs. You probably know all about Ash’s boomstick, but on the occasion of the hilarious horror comedy's 25th anniversary, it's worth a closer look. Later, Casey teams up with the Turtles and the Mighty Mutanimals to put an end to Zeck and Steranko in "The Big Blowout".On February 19, 1993, Army of Darkness-the third installment in Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell's Evil Dead franchise-made its way into U.S. He and April enlists Karai and Shinigami to hunt down Bebop and Rocksteady in "The Foot Walks Again". In the Crossover Tales saga, Casey assists the Turtles and their 80's counterparts in stopping Krang and the 80's counterpart of the Shredder. In the Monstrous Tales saga, Casey turns into a vampire, along with April, Donatello and Raphael, until he returns to normal, due to Mikey defeating Dracula. Raphael kept his skull and helmet, which was attached to a bomb that he used to take down Maximus Kong's vehicle. In the alternate future seen in Raphael: Mutant Apocalypse, Casey was one of the many humans that died as a result of a giant Mutagen bomb hitting the planet. When the Turtles gear up for a mission, Casey gets a new mask that bears a strong resemblance to his comic counterpart. In the Season 4 finale, "Owari" Casey assists the Turtles in avenging the death of Splinter. He is later one of only six inhabitants of Earth-the others being April and the Turtles-to be rescued before the planet is consumed by an artificial black hole. He is defeated, at first, but later defeats Hun and prolongs Shredder's plans. The Underworld" Casey decides to start hunting crime on his own and eventually meets his new own archenemy, Hun, the new leader of the Purple Dragons. He also has rivalry with Donatello.Īs the series progresses, his rivalry with Donatello is lessened, and he becomes closer to the whole team in general. He later becomes a vigilante who hunts criminals, mutants and anything that he thinks threatens "his" city in season two's episode "The Good, The Bad and Casey Jones" and becomes an ally to the turtles, specifically Raphael who becomes his best friend. He is introduced in the episode "Mutagen Man Unleashed" as a hockey player who April tutors in school. Later, he becomes an ally of the Ninja Turtles and Master Splinter as well. However, as the series progresses, he learns to care to for others, as he becomes protective of April at one point, he rescues her from Mutagen Man and is shown to be able to defeat him on his own.
Casey also lacked consideration for others. Likewise, he was shown to flirt around April, and was quite ignorant to schoolwork. He was quite arrogant and think highly of himself. His outfit consists of a black bandanna tied around his head, a messy, maroon elbow-length shirt with a short-sleeve gray shirt and a sleeveless black hoodie over it, grayish-blue jeans, black finger gloves that stop at the forearms, and black sneakers.Īt the first glance, Casey was a rowdy juvenile delinquent type. He has black, medium-length hair and his two front teeth of his upper jaw are missing, which he explains were accidentally knocked out by what was then his best friend.
Casey is pretty thin for a teenager in addition to being taller than April as well as the Turtles (though shorter than most other mutants, including Master Splinter).
