About the Franchise

Released in 1978.

Still CLASSIFIED.

The 1978 original was made for less than $100,000 and released as a parody. Producers and co-writers Steve Peace and Costa Dillon maintain it was a documentary, seized by covert operatives and recast as a comedy so bad no one would see it. Whatever it was, it worked. It spawned three sequels, a Saturday morning cartoon on Fox, a Game Boy cartridge, comic books, a young George Clooney, and a public that still mistakes the docuseries for a comedy.

Now the fifth film of the trilogy is in theaters. Organic Intelligence documents tomato activity through human and pre-human history, and brings the record current. Today it is nature versus artificial intelligence.

Wore my Midway special edition AoKT:OI shirt in Amish Country, figured they'd be on-board with Organic Intelligence lol. Actually found 2 folks that were interested to hear about the new movie!
Are there still original copies of the comic con promo comics stored somewhere?
I was listening to the first episode of the killer tomatoes podcast, and heard it mentioned that they had a lot of boxes stored away at the time.Any chance of a re-release for selling, or givaway in the new waves of potential merchandise if they're still around?

" I'm in the first movie (boy in chair reading book) and the fifth movie (various voice overs). I'm also one of the Co-Executive producers on the fifth movie. Most of my family was in the first movie (and various rooms in my house). My brother co-wrote the movies and was the original Wilbur Finletter. "
