Synopsis:
The Shady Rest retirement home is about to get a new resident: a broken-down and eccentric old geezer claiming to be the King of Rock N Roll himself!
Cult icon Bruce Campbell (The Evil Dead Trilogy, Spider-Man 3) stars as Elvis Presley in Bubba Ho-Tep, returning to DVD on August 7 in a new Special Edition - with new collectible packaging based on Presley’s own white leather Campbell swings his feeble hips and joins forces with the late, great Ossie Davis (Grumpy Old Men, Do The Right Thing) – who plays a decrepit and black President John “Jack” Kennedy – to combat a blood-sucking mummy in this “wildly creative amusement” (Premiere) from screenwriter/ director Don Coscarelli (Phantasm, The Beastmaster).
Based on the Bram Stoker Award-nominated short story by cult author Joe R. Lansdale, Bubba Ho-Tep garnered Second Place for Best International Film at the Fant-Asia Film Festival and was nominated for Best Screenplay by the Online Film Critics Society.

I rented this movie when it hit the rental market and I thought it was hillarious! Yes it's more like a cheesy "B" movie, but it was great!

I thought it was a really good movie! Bruce Campbell did such a good job, I actually forgot I wasn't watching Elvis. I wish Elvis had made some movies other than the beach/racing themed ones that he ended up doing. If he had done "Midnight Cowboy" or "Star is Born" we'd probably still have him with us. I hope Bruce does the sequel mentioned in the closing credits of the movie.

I haven't seen this movie yet, but I think Campbell is one funny guy. I have liked him ever since I first saw him on Xena Warrior Princess back in the 90's.
