My business partner is a "strange movie" fanatic and is constantly introducing me to the oddest films ever created. If your entertainment tastes lead you to Eraserhead, The Great Gabbo, Desperate Living, or even Pink Flamingos, you will really appreciate the recently released DVD called "Bubba Ho-Tep". It's very funny, it's very witty, it's very well shot, it's got actors you'll recognise, and it is weird. Very weird.
Set in an old folks rest home, Bruce Campbell plays an excellent cantankerous retired Elvis impersonater who may actually be the real Elvis . (at least he's got the best storyline ever as to how he could be.) Elvis and his buddy Ozzie Davis ( who claims to be John F. Kennedy...which is funny if you know who Ozzie Davis is ) battle a "soul sucking" Egyptian Mummy who's using the rest home as his personal smorgasbord . Apparently, Mummys can suck souls out of any human orifice .... this one happens to prefer the butt.
Can anyone recommend any other unknown film gems such as Bubba Ho-Tep? I'd like to return my partner's favour.
