Don Coscarelli. More like this. Watch options. Storyline Edit. Lansdale, Bubba Ho-tep tells the "true" story of what really did become of Elvis Presley.

Kennedy, and the two valiant old codgers sally forth to battle an evil Egyptian entity who has chosen their long-term care facility as his happy hunting grounds. The King vs. The King of the Dead. Comedy Fantasy Horror Mystery Western. Rated R for language, some sexual content and brief violent images.

Did you know Edit. But it's something you have to see, if not for the great dialogue and memorable performances than just from a break from the soulless dreck with 20 times the budget and none of the heart.

You can clearly see the prosthetic turkey neck they glued onto Bruce's legendary chin. Does that mean bad makeup or a stellar print? Both, I'd say. Fine detail throughout the neglected nursing home is excellent. This is not a place I'd want my family members to end up. It's not the most colorful of films or settings, but the drab, flat and dark colors show up richly and clearly, as do the less-than-healthy skin tones.

Black levels are good, with occasional murkiness more due to lighting than the transfer. Only occasionally did I catch a hint of softness or edge enhancement. Other than that, it was a near-flawless print. The audio performance of this disc is also stellar, with clean audio throughout allowing for all kinds of subtleties. The perfect, hiss-free silence adds to the creepy element, and in some of the hallucinogenic scenes, the whooshing from one speaker to another is downright effective.

It's mostly a front-loaded experience, given what it is, but the surrounds are there at the right moment, creating a full surround experience. The dynamic range is good, from high end noise to some LFE rumbling. Inside is a 10 page booklet full of pictures from the shoot with a letter from Bruce.

That alone puts it in a league ahead of most DVDs, which don't even include an insert. There are two commentaries. The first features Campbell and Coscarelli. I have to admit, I was expecting a livelier track than this, given the pairing. They discuss the shoot, how things were done, laugh at the silliness of it all and praise people before and behind the camera. All told, a decent track.

I really thought it would be a laugh riot, but it turned out it's a joke Bruce can't sustain for 92 minutes. Eating junk food and drinking really don't help it at all. Perhaps some will find it a riot, I was let down. Joe R. Landsdale reads from Bubba Ho-Tep is an eight-minute trip as the author of the short story that inspired this film reads chapter one. Hearing all those dirty words in a Texas drawl only seems to make it funnier. It shows you how close they kept the movie to the original work.

Thus, the King did not die on the porcelian throne, in fact, he lived to be an old, pained man with miles of regret. With Campbell's voiceover coloring much of the film, we learn that the King is actually full of introspection about the way his life ended up. There is bitterness, the aforementioned regret, a long deep pining for Priscilla, and a fighting spirit that is still glowing.

Far from the "aren't old people cute and eccentric? Bubba Ho-Tep then becomes a meditation on being old mixed with enough cult film elements mummy, memorable characters, originality to make it one of the absolute must-sees for serious movie-goers. We're not claiming you'll be blown away, but we think you'll be hard-pressed to find such an ingenious and meaty character-driven piece starring aged '60s cultural icons fighting a soul-sucking mummy.
