0:05A mounted scout warns the castle that an army of the dead is approaching.
0:26Ash rallies the frightened defenders from the ramparts, urging them to stay and fight.
2:18Evil Ash orders his skeletal army toward the castle.
2:51Ash and the smiths salvage car components and consult a chemistry textbook to prepare explosives.
3:59Ash puts the men through weapon drills in the courtyard.
7:15The castle's archers begin their defense against the charging army.

Comedy Bites Vintage has posted a castle defense that depends as much on a chemistry textbook as it does on courage. In its Army of Darkness scene, Bruce Campbell's Ash Williams must persuade frightened medieval defenders to stay, then give them something useful to fight with.

The upload has passed 100,000 views six days after appearing, with most of those arriving in the past day. That is a sharp acceleration for this particular clip, rather than a channel-wide surge: Comedy Bites Vintage's overall daily views remain below its usual pace.

Ash starts with persuasion, standing above the crowd and asking, "Who's with me?" Villagers step forward with their weapons. Then comes the less conventional preparation: he and the castle smiths salvage parts from his car and consult "Chemistry 101" to make gunpowder explosives. A modern retail clerk has become the castle's military adviser, with a very different reference library from everyone around him.

This is an excerpt from the film, not a new Bruce Campbell production. Its comments pick up on the movie's peculiar combination of spectacle and silliness. One viewer remembers how unexpectedly large its medieval adventure felt after the earlier films; others get caught on the anatomical difficulties of skeletons screaming or playing wind instruments.

The clip gives those skeletal troops plenty to do, cutting from Ash's courtyard training drills to Evil Ash's advancing army and the defenders taking their places along the walls.

Err how does a skeleton with no lungs play a wind instrument. I must seriously lack imagination.😂

This is my favorite movie of the trilogy it’s so fun and big, and I never would have imagined I’d be watching something like this back when I saw the first two films! Hahaha, it’s just wild.
