Once the tomato reached its destination in Toronto, the plastic and cardboard packaging is thrown into the trash, where it is picked up by the municipality, shipped back into the U.S. and burned in an incinerator in Detroit, Michigan.

 Slant Magazine - Film Review: Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
ttack of the Killer Tomatoes is in that thankfully small sub-genre of film I like to call "frat guy camp," which also includes National Lampoon Goes to the Movies and Kentucky Fried Movie (the genre's sole shining light).
Their humor is mostly milked from self-reflective, meta-movie badness (the element that's missing from such modern day imitators as American Pie and Dorm Daze) and they're marked by gentle "we're just kidding but hey, we did say it" racism, sexism, and homophobia (the element that's unfortunately still hanging around).
If Tomatoes has anything going for it nowadays, it's that the word "fag" is only used once ("Tomatoes are fags." "He means fruits.").

From all over America reports are coming in of tomatoes attacking innocent people, but the government want to keep it quiet and deliberately sit on the stories.
This science fiction spoof was scripted by the producer/director John De Bello, Costa Dillon and producer/actor Steve Peace, and was obviously sending up all those old science fiction epics of the past with their unconvincing special effects and difficult to take seriously monsters.

The tomatoes move in on the cities, burning, pillaging and raping all in their path until it is discovered that they can be killed by bad rock music and humanity starts to fight back.
Like the parody of Jaws (1975) with tomatoes engaged in an underwater attack on bathers; or the climax with tomatoes cornered in a stadium and killed by bad rock music, bar one giant tomato which holds off by wearing a pair of earmuffs, only to be done in by the lyric sheet.

 Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! | Retro Junk
Movie Plot:One of the first films ever to be designed specifically to become a cult movie, this silly low-budget comedy has tomatoes growing to giant size and terrorizing screaming '70s types.
There's a fun Jaws parody as the tomatoes attack a swimmer and a cute bit involving a military meeting in a small office with a very large table, but overall it fails to generate many laughs.
The problem is that the films which this one attempts to mock — mainly bad 1950s sci-fi pictures — have a cult following because they are funny unintentionally, and are beloved for reasons which this somewhat cynical effort completely misses.

In response to this attack, the United States government puts together a task force that includes a scuba diver, a master of disguise (dressed as a fl Hitler, no doubt), and an Olympic gold medalist who eats Steroids cereal for breakfast.
Only this happens to be much worse than any human or animal excretion; in fact, "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" is so bad that it slips right past camp and cult into just plain awful.
The budget is extremely low, with tomato effects ranging from giant inflated tomatoes to several real veggies being rolled into view, all with grunting, gurgling sound effects.

This campy movie was made with next to nothing by a bunch of nobodies that have had no careers outside of the killer tomato series before or since.
Little did they know, that at the time the masses of celluloid that they were contaminating with crappy footage of fake-looking killer tomatoes would later become one of the most famous and essential cult classics of all time.
Another great effect was making it appear that the tomatoes moved, when really they were just put on scooters and pushed from behind; usually the wheels were not visible.

Allowed to ripen on the vine naturally, this ruby tomato comes to your table with more homegrown taste.
Although it may be as pretty as a plastic fruit, this tomato has been produced by introducing modified organisms into the plant's natural genetic material.
Both sides would agree that we are talking about food whose genetic properties have been altered through technology, often by splicing a desired gene from one species–the cold tolerance of a mackerel, for example–into the genetic code of another species, such as a tomato.
