The yellow Oldsmobile Delta 88 that Ash drives is the same make, model, and color used in most of the movies directed by Sam Raimi. The original car belongs to Raimi, and was bought new by his father in 1973.
Was originally meant to be the fourth movie, but due to so much material being written, the makers decided to turn it into a television series instead. If the first season was a movie, it would've been around five hours long.
It was given approval of a second season three days before it premiered on Starz on October 31, 2015.
Sam Raimi originally intended to follow Pimeyden armeija (1992) with a fourth Evil Dead movie. The plan for which was to follow the theatrical and director's cut endings of the film, with a film that followed two different timelines simultaneously. The concept was eventually abandoned, due to its complex nature.
Early in the first episode, Ash is seen performing a "powerslide", which is a stunt that requires the driver to steer the car into a tight turn at high speeds, and apply the parking brake, which causes the back tires to lose traction with the road and slide into the turn. Bruce Campbell has revealed that he was taught to perform this move by William Shatner, who was known to perform the stunt regularly on T.J. Hooker (1982).
