Now if only they would release Bruce Campbell's Jack of All Trades on dvd.
Forget Jack of All Trades. I want Brisco County, Jr.

Talked my girlfriend into seeing this a few months ago. I was worried she'd hate it but instead I think I've converted her into a Bruce Campbell fan.

Hail to the King, baby!

Indeed. P2 is one of the coolest horror movies of the 80s and is nowhere to be found. I wish Bubba would lite some "Coscarelli Fever" in whichever studio owns P2 and P3 (and Kenny and Company and Jim the World's Greatest).

Nice to see some love for this hard-to-find gem.

This movie really gives a great "what if..." to the Elvis myth. Bruce really did a great job as The King.

One of the smaller theaters in town (Tallahassee, Fl) just started showing this one. I plan to go and see it this weekend and I also want to pick up the DVD when it comes out.

I want Brisco, too, but come on, Jack of All Trades is awesome. Just give me anything with Bruce. Click on my sig links and see how many crappy movies I've bought just because Bruce Campbell did commentaries on them.

(HINT: I own five DVDs with Campbell commentary, and not all of the movies are crappy)

But the R2 release is full frame and cut, IIRC. Otherwise, I would've bought it already.

I'll say!

Let it stand a great testimonial to Mr Campbell that I actually LIKED this version of Elvis. Elvis, a hero to most, doesn't mean shit to me.

Anyway, Bruce transformed Elvis into something that I don't normally associate with Mr Presley - a cool guy!

Bring on the boomstick!

Really looking forward to this release... although I have yet to see the movie (it opens in TO next week!) anything Bruce touches turns to gold...so I'll easily be picking it up!

MATT

just glad it's getting a release!

Since DVD will probably be the only way I can see this one, it'll be a blind buy for me. Can hardly wait.

I actually know the guy who is editing all the special features for bubba ho-tep. it was funny because we were on set for a different movie and we were talking about bubba hotep and how he never saw it. a few days later he came up to me and told me , (guest what; remeber when i told you i had an interview for an editing job well it was for bubba ho-tepdvd special features. his boss gave a hard drive full of behind the scenes fottage and interview with ossie davis and bruce campbell and oh the the bubba ho-tep movie.
(dont ask for a copy of it he's protcting it with his life)

WooHoo!!! That has to be the best cover art i've seen in a long time. Looks like someone actually put some effort into it.

It's pretty much the same as the movie poster, but cool nonetheless
