bubba ho-tep.
sweet mother of crap.
i spotted this at the video store i work at a little while ago and gleefully tore it off the shelf, wide-eyed in anticipation of this movie, the greatness of which would clearly be measured by the degree of pure cheese portrayed therein. elvis and jfk (who apparently has had cosmetic surgery forced upon him by conspirators to make him appear to be an elderly black man), both alive and well in a rest home in texas take on a 3000 year old mummy who has been eating the souls of their fellow rest home inhabitants. and who plays The King? why, none other than mr. ash williams, champion against the army of darkness and esteemed maharajah of B actors - the one and only bruce freaking campbell.
i was not disappointed. hail to the king, indeed. check it out if you have a soft spot for absurdist cinematic fare.
