Bubba Ho-tep (2002)

Sick Product of a Sick System

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Blistering performances.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I was a fan of Bruce Campbell since 'Brisco County' originally aired on Fox TV, and just had to give this movie a try. An unusual mix of Horror, Comedy, and much Elvis, JFK, and ancient Egyptian mythology, buy it really works! I've seen this gem a half dozen times, and it is as fresh and funny as it was on the 1st viewing. If you enjoy the far-from-average type of comedy film, or love Elvis, and love that action-comedy genius named Bruce Campbell - then watch this movie! I just wish that Mr. Putin in Russia, and the leaders in China and N. Korea would watch American films like this, and maybe see that the USA is not such a bad bunch of folks after all!

Now there are bad films and there are stupid films...but this thing has created it's very own category for reels that missed the garbage can and somebody saved.I have no idea how this film got any of the high ratings it did. In fact the IMDB rating is one of the highest I've seen and where did all the 10 out of 10's come from in the user ratings?If you are wasted and bored at 2 am in the morning, this might be your cup of tea, but seriously?????? What a slow, cheesy piece of crap with bad sound and irritating flashing scenes.

A geriatric who claims he is Elvis Presley teams up with a elderly black man who believes he is President Kennedy to battle an ancient Egyptian mummy that is feeding on the souls of the inhabitants of a rest home.Say what you like about Don Coscarelli's films, but there's no denying the director's innovation and bravery when it comes to his craft. Bubba Ho-Tep is unlikely to become a regular watch for me—I'd have liked a little less conversation and a little more action—but it's undeniably a film like no other, dishing up more than enough creativity and weirdness to ensure it a cult following.Bruce Campbell, as the King of Rock and Roll, puts in the performance of his career, absolutely nailing the character, making the viewer believe that Elvis lives (the singer having supposedly switched places with an Elvis impersonator in the '70s); it's a little harder to swallow the notion that Ossie is JFK, but his turn is extremely poignant. Coscarelli's screenplay (based on a short story by Joe R. Lansdale) gives both actors plenty of amusing lines, ensuring a fun time even when the going is slow.The ending, in which the doddery duo finally take on the mummy (that sucks its victims spirit from their ass-hole), is surprisingly creepy; I only wish that the battle had been given a little more time, feeling a little rushed after all that had gone before.

I wish I could rate this movie a 0 out of ten cause I don't think it deserves the 1 I have to give it because this is the dumbest movie I have ever seen.i don't know why it has a high rating?i have seen a lot of boring movies but this one has to be the worst one i have ever seen.this movie should be on the bottom 100 list. i have never seen nothing this dumb before .the movie did not make sense to me at all.i wasted my money and time watching this garbage and I want my money and time back. I would rather watch those other boring movies I seen before then watch this garbage again. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. Don't even watch it free cause your just gonna be wasting your time instead of doing something useful with it and especially don't buy cause that will be even dumber then watching it for free. So my advice is to stay away from this garbage. If you see this movie anywhere destroy it or burn it cause thats how awful it is.
