Our Daily Free Stream: Bruce Campbell - Bubba Ho-Tep. Evidl Dead hat Bruce Campbell noch immer eingeholt, zuletzt in der TV Serie Ash vs. Evil Dead. Er kann aber auch ganz anders: - Elvis und JFK starben in Wahrheit nie und heute leben sie zusammen in einem Altenheim in Texas - dort wo die Insassen von dem ägyptischen Sucker Bubba Ho-Tep getötet wurden. So oder so ähnlich funktioniert dieser schwachsinnige Film. Funktioniert? Wirklich stimmig ist Bubba Ho-Tep nicht, dafür wirklich originell! Elvis (der tolle Bruce Campbell) war ausgebrannt durch seinen übertriebenen Lebensstil, seinen Pillen und Groupies. Natürlich auch von Colonel Parker.

Now the two are in a nursing home where a 10,000 year old mummy is hunting and feasting off of the souls of the elderly. Its up to Elvis and JFK to save the day.
See what I mean? Sounds awful. But considering it is a Bruce Campbell flick could you ever expect him to do something less poignant? The movie is loaded with funny bits. This is a classic B movie. Its one of those so bad its good kind of movies. When I first saw it I was among those saying, wow this is lame and stupid, and it does take a second or 3rd viewing to …
