when i hear the plot for this movie i simply have to see it and i mean whole city be wipe out by killer tomato . sadly the title be about as funny a it get . lead by detective dick mason and a special team of military and scientist ( include greg colburn who never take his scuba outfit off and lt. finletter who be never picture without his parachute trail behind ) attack of the killer tomato be a parody of b movie and in particular japanese horror of the 1950 . the film begin with a standard size tomato be discover by a woman wash up in her kitchen before we find ourselves in a middle of a crime scene a the tomato have supposedly murder this lady and and let me tell you it doesn not get any saner a the film progress . to be fair there be a couple of funny moment and for instance anytime the japanese scientist dr nokitofa speak his voice be dub over in an american accent and or when disguise expert sam smith infiltrate the tomato hey and can somebody please pass the ketchup . equally this film be probably a lot funnier in 1978 with the whole so bad it good concept . unfortunately for attack of the killer tomato spoof film such a the airplane and naked gun series have be release and do this kind of comedy a lot good since . the acting be atrocious while there be zero continuity in the editing and it just feels genuinely slow and lack energy . for a parody film to work you need a lot of thing happen at once and one gag after the over . the singing in the film seem pointless and the advert for the furniture store that flash across the screen be damn right bizarre and even for this film . ultimately and however and you can see why this film be a cult one while i can not see many people be indifferent to it . unfortunately terrible would be the way i would sum this up .
