I love this movie so much

Good concept, poorly executed.

Absolutely the worst movie.

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

A few weeks ago I went to a screening of this peculiar picture, hosted by the incomparable Dr. Sarcofiguy. It was actually a double feature - "The Mummy", starring Karloff, then "Bubba Ho-Tep". Archibald Campbell was there, too. What a night! Anyway, the film started off a bit slow. Watching maybe-Elvis lie there in the nursing home got old pretty quickly. Then again, that might've been the point. The director was probably wanted the audience to understand how mind-numbingly aimless the (alleged) King's life had become. When the villain did finally appear, things got way more interesting. And what a worthy opponent he made! Watching Elvis and blackified-JFK (don't ask!) battle an ancient mummy was ever so exciting. Somehow, it didn't feel too far fetched. The actors took a wild script and made it feel genuine. That takes talent. The juvenile and sexual humor did disgust me, though the rest of the audience didn't mind. I suppose I am rather easily offended...

In Mud Creek, Texas, at the Shady Rest Convalescence Center, a man called Sebastian Half (Bruce Campbel) claims to be the real Elvis Presley. He has been living in coma at the home for twenty years since he tripped off the stage. Sebastian explains that he switched places with an Elvis impersonator since he was tired of his fame but their contract that could prove his real identity was accidentally burnt to ashes in a barbecue. When his friend Jack (Ossie Davis), who is a black man that claims to be President John Kennedy, shows evidence that an ancient Egyptian mummy is sucking the souls of the residents of the nursing home, the skeptical Sebastian sees evidences that show that his friend is correct. Now the two old men plot how to stop the mummy. "Bubba Ho-Tep" is an original, funny and highly entertaining comedy-horror film. The storyline is absolutely insane and weird, but it is worthwhile watching. Bruce Campbel is unrecognizable in the role of Elvis Presley, the true or the impersonator. Ossie Davis posing of a dyed John Kennedy is hilarious. The fight with the mummy is amusing. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): Not Available

Two residents of a nursing home believe they are Elvis and Jack Kennedy. They set out to save the souls by battling a soul sucking mummy.Bruce Campbell and Ossie Davis are wonderfully funny!Worth a view for the laughs!

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.
