Hail to the King, Baby
Cast as an aging Elvis, Bruce Campbell must do battle with the evil, undead Bubba Ho-Tep
For a good time, call: Bruce Campbell's elderly King deciphers hieroglyphics in the loo
A poignant look at old age may not be what the average Evil Dead fan is after, but they can rest assured that Campbell has plenty of wisecracks herein that they can latch onto. More important, perhaps, is the fact that those who may not even be familiar with Sam Raimi may wander in and discover an actor hitherto unknown beyond the cult circuit. The mention of a potential sequel at the tail end of the credits is probably just another gag, but the fact that it engenders even the tiniest spark of hope for further Elvis adventures is proof enough that the filmmakers have solidly scored.
