This movie just recently came out on DVD, and I've heard good things.

Anyone else seen it or heard about it?

It's Elvis (played by Bruce Cambell of Evil Dead fame) fighting supernatural stuff.

I think it's suppose to be stupid/b movieish just like Army of Darkness. Haven't seen it myself but I hear it's pretty good.

I have been seeing the commercial all day while watching TV. I do not feel joy in it's message.

It's amazing. It manages to be funny, heesy and yet at times deal with the very real life fear of getting old. It plays like a serious drama at times, a cheesy horror flick at others.

Just saw it today but stopped watching and lost my attention like about an hour in cause the video store got busy out of nowhere. It was good from what I saw though.

Great film for what it is. Well written, and the dialouge is great ( Not Tarentino quality, but well done.) Bruce Cambell is the shit.

I just watched it again and no matter how many times you see it there is really no movie out there today that you can compare it to. This is definently something that is no copied.

They already want a sequel. :D

BTW, the studio has two ideas for sequels, and they are:

"Bubba Nosferatu" (Elvis vs Vampire) and the other "Bubba Sasquatch" (Elvis vs Big Foot).

Ebert's Review of Bubba Ho-Tep:

I REALLY want to see this movie now. :'(

WOOO, rented it tonight and just finished watching it.

That is some good shit right there.

Really weird story, doesn't really qualify as one genre in particular. Good times.

Just saw it. It's quite good. The mummy was cheesy at hell, but suitably creepy at times. The scenes about old age had me reflect on my own mortality.

If anyone rents out the DVD, be sure to check out the commentary track where Bruce Campbell watches the film as if he were Elvis. Entertaining.

I didn't want to bump it earlier, cause I have done enough bumping with this topic, but its somewhere in the 20s at IMDB's Top 50 Horror Movies of all time.

Blockbuster only had ONE copy, and it'd been rented out :(.

Funny. A while ago, when we did the "Funniest Movies of all time" tournament thing, I'd recommended Bubba-Ho-Tep, and it got eliminated before the preliminaries.

Anyways, awesome movie. Bruce Campbell is your new hero.

I SO blew off this movie whenever it was mentioned here on TPWW. I thought it would just be a lame, yet possibly funny movie. Then I saw it yesterday...

Holy shit, that was good stuff. NOTHING like I expected. It was incredible. Just... wow.

BTW, I never knew Bruce Campbell as the guy from Army of Darkness. Then I saw this movie and the first thought in my mind was "OMG, It's Briscoe County Jr.!!!" That show was great.

So I watched it, it was good. Nothing great, but I give it a lot of credit for it's originality. Better than the big 'blockbuster' movies that normally come out, that's for sure. This was a good recommendation :y:
