History Headscratchers / EvilDead

***** [[spoiler: That's an explanation, but it sounds way too much like grasping at straws. What was wrong with something like 'Five must die'? If in a possession movie you use the word 'souls', you usually have to mean 'souls' and explain yourself if you don't. But of course, seeing some scenes like [[TooDumbToLive Eric reading the book]], it comes off quite clearly that TheyJustDidntCare.]]]]

* Why is Ash not in a mental institution, serving a life sentence, or dead after killing nearly a dozen people? Certainly he would be arrested for that and I can not imagine a feasible defense for him outside of insanity.

**** [[spoiler: Possibly, every person who dies while the Evil is active counts as a "soul" toward the Abomination. So there was the girl in the beginning, then David, Eric, Olivia and Natalie. The Evil was inactive between those two incidents, but not defeated, so it could have "saved" the girl's soul toward the Abomination.]]

** [[spoiler:Mia died for a moment, so the Abomination clearly didn't need five souls, just five deaths as a sacrifice.]]

* There is something I've always wondered about the franchice in general: exactly what do the Deadites want? I mean, in the first film, it seemed that they were pissed off at being awakened. In part two, one of them says that they desire what they don't have, life. In Army of Darkness, the Deadites are an invading horde. In the few comics I've read, the book itself is an evil overlord and the Deadites are it's subjects. And in the remake, the goal was to give flesh to the Abomination.

** Could be Fridge Brillance: [[spoiler: the dog?]]

[[AC Army of Darkness Comics]]

** Possibly [[spoiler: Mia doesn't get her soul back, even though she's freed from possession]].

* How was it that [[spoiler:Mia was able to keep the chainsaw running even though the gas cap clearly fell down the hole? There was no way the chainsaw could have kept running when the was maneuvering herself under the car without the cap.]]

* How is it that [[spoiler: the necklace that Mia breaks at the beginning of the film is perfectly fine after the house is destroyed? There is no possible way that David had enough time to fix it in the short time between the conversions and the house being destroyed.]]

** [[spoiler: It wasn't a Deadite; it was the Evil manifesting to Mia visibly. If you look, that "Deadite" was what Mia changed into once she was possessed.]]

* Who was the Deadite who [[spoiler: attacked Mia near the beginning of the movie and subjected her to the tree-rape? It can't be the girl who was burned in the prologue, since she was, well... burned, and according to Eric's translation of the Naturom Demonto, that should have killed her.]]

** Bad Ash's flesh hand pushed it's way out of Good Ash's shoulder like his head. During the final split he pried his remaining hand out. Since it was really an overgrown mini-ash it had both hands to begin with.

* Bad Ash comes off of Ash's side with the prosthetic hand. In fact he's consistently shown on that side and using that hand throughout his "split" with Ash. When he finally yanks away... he has two flesh-and-blood hands and Ash still has the prosthetic. ... How'd Bad Ash manage ''that'' one?
