Army of Darkness -- Which Version to Watch?
Amazingly enough, I haven't seen Army of Darkness and I received the new Blu-ray from Shout. So which version should I watch first? Theatrical Cut, Director's Cut or International Cut? Not including the TV version as that, to me, is more of a novelty.

None of the cuts are ideal, but I think the "Theatrical Cut" is still the best version.
(And if you are curious, then watch only the ending of the "Director's Cut" to see how the movie was originally going to end.)

The TC is canon. So like it or not... that's one that matters the most. I've never seen the DC. But aside from Rip van Winkle aspect, I'm really interested to the see other stuff changed or cut out in it. Those little moments looked good to where they may have made ED3 a better movie for me.

Funny enough, the tv cut is the first version we ever watched and I've been eagerly awaiting a decent version on home video for years now.

This is one where I like the director's cut a lot better-mainly the ending. Without spoiling anything, I'll just say it's perfect.

So watched the TC and really enjoyed it. The "Theatrical Version" disc also includes the original ending. Interesting concept, for sure, though kind of prefer the TC still.

Re: Army of Darkness -- Which Version to Watch?
I liked ED3 but I hate how it went too much in comedy. I love ED1 and ED2. ED3 just went too far for me. It also somehow feels cheaper to me. I'm just not as impressed as I was w/ the previous films.
