Review of Bubba Ho-tep (2002) by Robin D — 24 Aug 2008
What if Elvis Presley never died but instead traded lives with an impersonator ? Stuck in a rest home where no-one believes his true identity, an elderly Elvis (Bruce Campbell) lays, contemplating his regrets in regards to his old lifestyle, family and what the hell the weird growth is on the end of his pecker that requires a nurse lubing it!!! When scarab beetles start attacking residents, zimmer-frame wielding Elvis and his friend, a black J.
F.Kennedy (according to him he never died, they 'dyed' him black to conceal him from enemies!) they must team up and stop an even greater threat - a soul-sucking Egyptian mummy roaming the retirement home at night! Only the legend that is Bruce Campbell could get away with a random film like this.
It's still great fun to watch and has some great lines in it delivered by the man himself, You gotta be intrigued by the concept - where else you going to find an elderly King of Rock 'n' Roll battle the King of the Dead?
