Ahhh so it is. I didn't recognize him in that pic. From that perspective he looks black and mostly bald.
Just got back from the midnite showing at the Landmark in Berkeley. It was a very entertaining movie. And I was 6 numbers away from winning the 12" Evil Dead Ash doll.
The first 30 minutes establish the Elvis character and I was surprised at the colorful language, but in a good way. Before anyone compares it to Tarantino and his favorite 4 letter word, stop, shut up and leave the room.
The heiroglyphics use was hilarious.
It was worth the price in my opinion.

I just saw this tonight; loved it. I was pleasantly suprised today when i was looking over the local listings and saw it listed...when I had checked teh site in teh past, it wasn't supposed to play here, Berkeley was the closest show...
Anyway, like I said, I loved it and I was in an almost empty theater alone. i would love to run this as a one shot on a night when only a couple players can show up.

I saw this last week down in Austin, and it was great. I knew about Bruce Campbell, but didn't realize the director was the guy who did "Phantasm" so many years ago.
I figured going in that the movie would be funny, but I didn't realize how funny it would be. I also thought there would be a lot of gore, but there wasn't. Not that it's a bad thing, just not as gory as I expected. And the movie also had a poignancy about it, a bittersweet quality I was not expecting. I enthusiastically recommend this movie.
In addition to the movie, there is a short taped welcome from Bruce Campbell himself that was very funny. At the showing I saw, they also only played one trailer for an upcoming movie. All of the other trailers were for "Phantasm," "Evil Dead 2" and "Army of Darkness." And some Elvis tribute movie from the 70s or 80s. The one trailer for an upcoming movie -- "Return of the King."

I just got back from seeing Bubba Ho Tep and I literally cannot understand the negative reviews in this thread. I mean, you must have had some idea what the movie was going to be like (if only from the buzz), and it was better shot, better acted and beteer written than any "Elvis/Zombie Movie" had any right to be.
There were some genuinely moving moments where old Elvis contemplated the waste he had made of his life, camerawork equal to any in most big-studio releases and a lot less schlock than you could reasonably expect.
Wonderful film. Absolutely wonderful.
