Bubba Ho-Tep
''Bubba Ho-Tep'' is a 2002 American comedy horror film written, co-produced and directed by Don Coscarelli. It stars Bruce Campbell as Elvis Presley—now a resident in a nursing home. The film also stars Ossie Davis as Jack, a black man who claims to be John F. Kennedy, explaining that he was patched up after the assassination, dyed black, and abandoned. It is based on the novella of the same name by Joe R. Lansdale, which originally appeared in the anthology ''The King Is Dead: Tales of Elvis Post-Mortem''. Originally the film was " roadshowed" by the director across the country. Only 32 prints were made and circulated around various film festivals, though this garnered critical success.

While the novella and film revolve around an ancient Egyptian mummy (played by Bob Ivy) terrorizing a retire ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
