Return of the Killer Tomatoes! is a 1988 American parody film[2] directed by John De Bello. The first sequel to the 1978 film Attack of the Killer Tomatoes,[3] the film stars Anthony Starke, Karen Mistal, and John Astin, as well as George Clooney in an early role. Like its predecessor, Return of the Killer Tomatoes was largely panned by critics. It has been described as a cult film.[4]
