KMC Forums - Bubba Ho-Crap..er..Tep

Alright, I just got back from seeing "Bubba Ho Tep". Freakin' boring as hell.

Don't get me wrong, I love Bruce Campbell, but this is on down there with Brisco County Jr.

First of all, the story. Now, I love B movies, and cult classics, but I was a little slow to realize how potential stupid this movie really could be. A guy who thinks he's Elvis, and a guy who think's he's J.F.K. go looking for a soulstealing Egyptian god? This is straight to video fluff, not worthy of a theatrical release.

Secondly, the make-up was poorly done, and that really took away from the credibility of B.C.'s character.

Third, the "American Pie" humor syndrome this movie was afflicted with. Penis gags, penis jokes, peeking at a girls "lovenest", chocolate Ding Dongs, masturbation references, masturbation scenes, a mummy who sucks peoples souls out of their anuses, and "Elvis" being told to suck the dogdick of Anubis? It was totally out of place, and I have never known Elvis to be so crude. It ruined the film for me, personally.

I am sorely disappointed. It started off funny, with the "Bubba" dictionary entry, and soon after lost steam, and made way for a gaggle of gross out jokes, a rude and crude Elvis, the performance of a really shoddy Dynamic Duo on the hunt for a seldom seen, supposed to be scary Egyptian god, all up to a totally unclimactic "final battle" which actually had to happen twice for the bad guy to go down.

Not even a "Hail to the King, Baby" homage from an Elvis impersonating Bruce Campbell.

For shame.
