Bubba Ho-Tep
 
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 just saw the commercial for it and I was like WTF, seriously.

I DUNNO MAN

Ninti Ishkur 05-24-2004 08:44 PM

Yeah, it seems kinda stupid.

mitch_h 05-24-2004 08:46 PM

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.

YOUR Hero 05-24-2004 09:20 PM

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

Lara Emily 05-24-2004 10:22 PM

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.

samichna 05-24-2004 11:08 PM

Why does it invlove Elvis?

MrMeJW 05-24-2004 11:17 PM

MrMeJW 05-25-2004 04:42 PM

I just watched it and loved it. It was great.

Kris P Lettus 05-25-2004 11:54 PM

AM WATCHING IT RIGHT NOW!!1!

Kris P Lettus 05-26-2004 12:06 AM

Awesome..

It ruled.. I should have bought it...

YOUR Hero 05-26-2004 12:10 AM

hmmm, well the commercial leaves lot to be disired.

SideburnZ 05-26-2004 12:34 AM

Holy shit. Just finished watching. Even better than I expected, and I had high expectations.

Triple A 05-26-2004 12:46 AM

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.

What Would Kevin Do? 05-28-2004 04:39 AM

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

Boondock Saint 05-29-2004 12:59 AM

Brought it home tonight from work. Gonna watch it tomorrow prolly

Shaggy 05-29-2004 01:42 AM

I just got it today. I love the movie. I think its one of the greatest things that I have ever purchased.

"No One Fucks with the king baby"

Shaggy 05-29-2004 01:13 PM

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.

Champion of Europa 05-29-2004 09:30 PM

They already want a sequel. :D

Champion of Europa 05-29-2004 09:39 PM

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).

YOUR Hero 05-29-2004 10:03 PM

*is getting me anxious for this movie.

Ebert's Review of Bubba Ho-Tep:

http://www.suntimes.com/ebert/ebert_...10/101701.html

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

Champion of Europa 05-31-2004 01:34 AM

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.

El Santo 06-03-2004 10:19 AM

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.

Champion of Europa 06-03-2004 09:13 PM

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.

Boondock Saint 06-04-2004 12:48 AM

Yeah it was good sees. :y:

DaveWadding 06-04-2004 01:25 AM

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

Nowhere Man 06-04-2004 08:19 PM

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.

#1-norm-fan 06-19-2004 08:12 PM

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.

#1-norm-fan 06-19-2004 08:19 PM

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.

:cool:

YOUR Hero 06-20-2004 10:34 PM

Rented it, will be watching it tonight. All because of this topic.

DaveWadding 06-20-2004 10:37 PM

Hero,

its genius, you shall not be disappointed.

Finally got to see it :cool:

YOUR Hero 06-21-2004 10:52 AM

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:
