Killer Tomatoes Eat France!, was released in 1991 as the third and most recent sequel to Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Like its predecessor, Killer Tomatoes Strike Back, it was a direct-to-video release. The film had been intended as the third in the series according to Return of the Killer Tomatoes, but was replaced as the third film by Killer Tomatoes Strike Back. It is the final film made by New World Pictures before their sale to News Corporation in 1997. Because the movie was co-produced with corporate successor 20th Century Fox, (1997 merger), this is the only New World film whose rights are solely owned by 20th Century Fox.
