BUBBA HO-TEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (finally getting a DVD release)

chewie (Elite) posted this on Saturday, 28th February 2004, 16:03

Now, I`ve been tracking this film for ages, since it`s first screening two years ago. It had a hell of a time getting a distributor, but it did finally last year and was released in the US in September (very limited though).

Now MGM are releasing the R1 DVD on May 25th. Yes, this year!!! :D
There is a commentary with the cast and crew, and a commentary with Campbell as ELVIS!

For those that don`t know, Bubba Ho-Tep is about a man who thinks he is Elvis (Bruce Campbell) living in a retirement home. A Mummy then starts killing off the residents and it`s up to Elvis (and others) to save the day.

Bruce Campbell is God by the way ;)



For the trailer, go here. :)

I`ve been hearing about this one for ages now, sounds so bizarre its got to be great - Bruce Campbell as Elvis? The Man as The King? Superb.

Since there doesn`t seem to be a release for it over here in the forseeable future, this DVD will be a definite pre-order! :)

After the limited release in the states and a no show at the cinema`s here (well not that I know of..) I doubt it will be on reg2 for a long time...looks like this could be my first reg1 purchase! :o

I can`t wait to see this film either. The trailer looks hilarious and I agree Burce Campbell is the coolest actor on the face of the earth.
Has anyone here read his autobiography? Comes highly recommended. :)

Damn right I have. Great book, both funny and informative without getting into his personal life too much and staying with the movies.

God I can`t wait for this film! :D Although I`m a little saddened it wont be with an audience at the cinema, the way Campbell movies should be witnessed! People seem to actually really rate this movie, and not just for the sake of Bruce Campbell starring! Check out the Tomatometer to get an idea of the rave reviews this bad boy has been attracting!
