ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES To Show at Fundraiser for Operation Food Search in St. Louis
“We have to convince the little housewife out there that the tomato that ate the family pet is not dangerous! “
In the 1978 cult classic ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES, America is overtaken by tomatoes — killer tomatoes!
After a wave of reports of mysterious attacks involving people and pets being eaten by the traditionally docile fruit, a special government task force is set up to investigate the violent veggies and put a stop to their murderous spree. Included in this crack team are a lieutenant who never goes anywhere without his parachute, an underwater expert who’s never out of his scuba gear, and a master of disguise who conceals his appearance by dressing as a black Adolf Hitler.
And how can you not love a movie that features a catchy theme song, a deliberately badly dubbed Japanese scientist, an insane katana-swinging WWII pilot who seems to drop from out of nowhere and just sort of follows along, a blind policeman, a president whose main job seems to be writing his signature on papers before crumpling them and throwing them away, a UN-type organization who spends the entire movie debating what should be done about the tomatoes before deciding it’s not time to take action yet, a swimming champion who eats an entire bowl of the cereal “STEROIDS”, mind-numbing musical numbers (did I mention this is a musical?), the list goes on.
You’d have to have a pretty dull personality not to enjoy ATACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES. It’s utterly insane, shamelessly cheap and silly, but somehow awesome.
Now lucky St. Louis diners will have the opportunity to eat a delicious meal and watch this cinematic masterpiece at the same time when Tenacious Eats Presents…

By integrating film and food, Movies for Foodies creates an original experience, a feast for the senses, an event that brings food and film, chefs and diners together.
We only work with locally produced food procured by us and hard-to-find ingredients, imported from places that specialize in them. With each new film, we write a new menu specific to its story. Sometimes the menu is literal and sometimes it is inspired interpretation. In all cases, each dining experience is different because each film is different.
Be sure to watch for the Special Appearance of the Royal Shakespearean Tomatoes by Arrangement with the Queen
