This is one of the weirdest movies I have seen in a long time. It's actually hard for me to even criticize this film because there isn't much to say about it other than that it's completely ridiculous. I'm wondering if a lot of these jokes were improvised. There was one thing that really annoyed me. The poster showed tomatoes with faces and vines as limbs. That never appears in the movie and I was really looking forward to that! It would have been a lot more creative. This was two years before "Airplane!" which was a spoof movie that was just genuinely good. It is kind of funny to see tomatoes killing people by just touching them, apparently.So many things in this movie come out of nowhere. A lot of it is just completely irrelevant. I doubt anything in this movie is meant to be taken seriously. I can understand why a lot of people enjoy it because of how dumb it is. I guess I'll go right in the middle with this one. There actually are some pretty funny parts but not enough for a whole movie. I guess this would have worked better as a sketch or an episode of a TV show. The funniest part was probably with the blind guy directing traffic. We even started with a good joke at the very beginning! **

This is a monster movie about giant tomatoes. This is one of the very few comedy movies I think is funny. I hate most comedy movie. But I like this one. I also like the sequel. Return of the killer tomatoes. That one is better then this one. The third movie Killer tomatoes strike back is also better. The forth killer tomatoes movie Killer tomatoes eat France is better. 4.6 is underrating it. This is one of the funniest movies from the 70's. This movie has a great story line. It also has great special effects. L.O.L This movie is very funny. L.O.L L.O.L L.O.L L.O.L. This movie is a must see. See all the killer tomatoes movies. There are very funny.

Anyone who thinks they're going to get cinematic quality from a title such as this should be quarantined and re-educated immediately! But for those looking for an insanely silly and over the top flick to snicker at, this could very well be the one! In line with movies like Airplane! and The Naked Gun series, but more outrageous and aware of it's budget constraints, If the actors had any credible talent to begin with, they were told to leave it all by the door before they came on set. And borderline politically incorrect - but balanced. IE; when the overdubbed Japanese scientist explains 'Tomatoes are not vegetables gentleman, they're fags.' And a nerdy scientist covers for him and explains 'He means fruits...' And at the end of the meeting a general says 'Well, we better go out and take a look at the situation. But you better bring your jackets, as there's a little Jap in the air..' And the nerd scientist whispers to the Japanese associate 'He means 'nip'...' All in all, it's good clean fun, sans vulgarity, gratuitous nudity, or REALLY dumb plot twists such as alien domination or some crazed vegan out to teach the world a lesson. There's a little bit of intrigue though, as someone tries to thwart Mason Dixon from discovering how to repel the tomatoes. But hardly anything to grip ones armchair over. How silly can adults be? Watch this movie, and ye shall see!

Tomatoes are killing people. The Department of Agriculture has a secret GD-3 Project. Presidential press secretary Jim Richardson enlists Mason Dixon to lead a crack team to battle the tomatoes. Sam Smith is a man of many disguises. There are also the east European female Olympic swimmer Gretta Attenbaum and soldier Wilbur Finletter dragging around his parachute. The Times sends reporter Lois Fairchild to investigate.I really love this irreverent silly movie for the first 30 minutes or so. I found the inappropriate Japanese jokes oddly hilarious. The helicopter crash is shocking. I had to rewatch it several times and wonder how nobody got killed. I like the fun tomato attacks. Around where Ted Swan started to sing, that's when the movie started to lose me. The song and dance in this movie isn't actually funny. The ridiculous ideas slowly loses the shock of originality. The actors are strictly amateurs and their lack of presence wears thin. Nevertheless, it is fun while it lasts.
