The razor-toothed tomatoes return in "Killer Tomatoes Eat France," affectionately known as Part IV of the Tomatoes Trilogy. This time they've developed an appetite for dining a' la Francaise! Filmed in France, the juicy plot unfolds as the evil professor Gangreen (John Astin) and his bungling henchman Igor (Steve Lundquist) create a new strain of tomatoes to devour the country. Only a young American tourist claiming to be Michael J. Fox (Marc Price, Skippy from "Family Ties") and his girlfriend (former Miss Universe, Angela Visser), who's one hot tomato herself, can stop them! The battle rages from the dungeon of France's newest tourist attraction, "Igor's Really Big Castle," to a Ben Hur-style car chase around the Arc de Triomphe and a heavy metal rock riot at the Louvre.

Summary: "You're going to like this movie as I have a hunch" Quasimodo
Comment: This film is the fourth in the Tomato trilogy. The original title is "Les Tomats Français Munch Munch", with La musique mucho dinero.
Yep all our favorite bad guys are back as Professor Gangreen finds a prophecy that will help him rule the world. All he has to do is make Igor (Steve Lundquist) into Louis The XXVII, the king of France.
Of course standing in his was, is our lovable FT (Fuzzy Tomato who is famous by now), Michael J. Fox ... oops Marc Price our unlikely hero, and to new tomato on the block, Marie "the French girl" (Angela Visser). Marie reminds us that this film is rated PG.
While we are waiting the tough of war of power and the war from Guatemala over the French McEnroe Line, one has to wonder if the Professors diabolical scheme will bear fruit, especially tomatoes.
Be prepared for every French cliché. And just who is the man in the mask?
Just when you think it is over be sure to read the credits closely.

Summary: Unwatchable
Comment: Silly cornball series, made worse by the addition of some really ugly tomato puppets. Contains every possible French stereotype imaginable. Watch, only if you are in the mood for a low-budget film, with corny puppets. I could not stand it.
1 star.

Summary: "Killer Tomato is A Smash Hit"
Comment: I bought this as a joke for my sister.....who is interested in French culture. We have always joked about the Killer Tomatoe Series and It was the perfect "FUN" experience for her birthday.
Of course the film is campy, silly, weird and amusing....Just what we were looking for in crazy, light, entertainment..
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not as terrible as the 3rd one
Comment: The first two are fantastic. The third one is slightly less fun than filling your underwear with starving badgers. This one doesn't live up to the legend that the first two established, but it is so much better than the third.

Summary: "Who's that Ringing in the Seine?"
Comment: The near equal of "Return of the Killer Tomato" and surprisingly good if you like this sort of humor. Gangreen, as a foreign exchange prisoner, is jailed in a French prison where he's found a book containing a prophesy that he hopes to use to his advantage to rule France and then the world. As luck would have it, Gangreen's assistant Igor, played by Steve Lundquist, is a dead ringer for the future king pictured in the book. The true future king of France ("No wonder my last name is Seventeenth"), also played by Steve Lundquist, knows nothing of the prophesy and the story revolves around whether or not the impostor will be discovered in time.
Michael, who's touring France, shanks mare, and Marie, a beautiful French country girl, are the film's romantic interest and also the pair who hope to squash Gangreen's plans of world conquest. Angela Visser, former Miss Universe, plays Marie and is surprisingly good in the role not to mention cute as a bug. The scene where Michael and Marie are sharing dinner with her parents is a riot!
The killer tomatoes themselves now have facial features, fangs and all, which I thought detracted a little from the whimsical absurdity of the concept which, after all, is a good part of the Tomato series' appeal.
Off beat (way off!) satirical humor with sight & sound gags that don't let up make these films work. I don't mean to sound like a prude but the squeaky-clean language and the near total lack of sexual innuendo is a refreshing departure from most current films.
I'm a fan!
