Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Which came first? Army of Darkness or Skin Tight?

Everyone should read Hiaasens Double Whammy.

The question came up at Beer Tie: which came first? Super-quotable Bruce Campbell horror romp, Army of Darkness? Or Carl Hiaasen's comic crime caper, Skin Tight?

The Internets have spoken... 

Skin Tight: 1989

Army of Darkness: 1992

But... the scene where Ash (Bruce Campbell) loses his hand and replaces it with a chainsaw is actually in Evil Dead 2 -- released 1987. So it's possible Hiaasen copped the idea for Chemo's weed whacker from Evil Dead II. However, Hiaasen says the inspiration was from watching bouncers try to control a mosh pit.

We may never know the truth.
