    The first time Ash went to that cabin, it was in "Evil Dead".  The 
movie was lame, and you can watch Evil Dead 2 and not miss a single 
beat.  ED1 didn't even have a cool one-liner.

   Actually, he cut off his hand because it was posessed, and beating 
the living tarnation out of him- a very funny scene.   It was also this 
scene where we start to see a little of the "crazy" one-liner-tossing 
Ash we all know and love when he spouts his first one-liner:  "Who's 
laughing now, huh?" *cranks up chainsaw*
   IIRC, ED2 only had Ash and his girlfriend go up to the cabin, 
everyone else in the movie that appeared was brought by the professer's 
daughter (the prof. that translated the Necronomicon).

   Due to change in film companies, Army of Darkness was the film's only 
title.  They agreed to the budget under the condition that it not be 
"connected" to Evil Dead 2 in it's promotions (why, I'll never know).  
Just FYI.

  I don't see Ash being motivated to raise an army of any kind just yet.   
Maybe it's a plot you can throw your posse into.

  Today he

   The car in AoD was a '76 Olds, IIRC.

   I think Gift o' Gab should be a modified version that allows him to 
dish out cool one-liners at just the right moments...

   I like Simons idea of replacing it with one of the hands from City o' 
Gloom- since he did replace it in AoD.

       Auto Shotgun?   It's Ash.  It should be a double-barrel.

   Sorry, the coolest one-liner in AoD *had* to be:

    You should highlight the fact that it's only an evil Huckster's or 
Witch's dream.  Any good spell-tosser would want this thing destroyed.
   Which would make it an excellent plot device.  Have the Huckster in 
your posse want to burn it, but Ash needs it to get back home.
