Dude, we were in actual Nacogdoches, and had a local premiere with Bruce, Don, and Joe. Couldn't have timed my college years any better. (that's a unisex "Dude" btw.)
I was fortunate to have seen it at the Tower Theater in Sacramento. I thought at the time that this is the greatest concept for a movie I've ever heard; I need to see this.
This is how I learned of it too! Some free passes came my way and I never passed up free movies. I went in with zero knowledge and it was fantastic. Still is!
I found it in the used bargain section at Blockbuster. Had no idea i was getting one of his best flicks, a batshit story and Ozzie Davis as freak'n JFK. Chef's kiss
I remember seeing this DVD on the shelf while browsing movies in my local Movie Gallery, that's how i came to see it. I really miss those days. The adventure of the rental store is something we can never get back, but I'm blessed to have grown up in that era.
Anyone who's spent any time in Nacogdoches, TX, will tell you that this story is entirely possible. Also, Joe Lansdale is the greatest writing professor anyone could ever have, and a true mensch.
Love the Sam Axe mention! Bruce was fantastic on Burn Notice! But I have yet to watch this movie, despite hearing about it all my life. I know, I know I'll get on it! It looks like a helluva good time!
I want to see that Nosferatu sequel 😱. I would have loved to see this in the theater. Fortunately, good old SciFi channel aired it in the late hours of the night, which was my exposure. 🤓
This is a great movie. It's a great parable. Overall, the film is about how the elderly can get forgotten or discarded, and it uses two cultural icons (Elvis and JFK) in that situation for us to relate to.
I love this film. I'm a huge Joe Lansdale fan. He is hugely underrated in my opinion. I've gotten the chance to meet him and he talks to his fans directly on his FB page. His story COLD IN JULY was also made into a film with Michael C Hall, Sam Shepard, and Don Johnson. It's a good crime/thriller film and a much more grounded story. Some of his short stories have been adapted in each volume of Love Death & Robots. As well as the newer Creepshow. Another of his books has been optioned for some time now, hopefully it's getting made soon. It's his Western THE THICKET and Peter Dinklage has been attached to it for some time. There's a character in it he's been wanting to play for years. I hope it gets made, it's a great story. And once upon a time Bill Paxton was supposed to direct a movie based off of Lansdale's THE BOTTOMS. Sadly he passed away before he could get it done. And I wish the Hap and Leonard show could have gone longer. It was great. RIP Bill Paxton, Ossie Davis, Michael K Williams, and Sam Shepard. Man, that's a lot of gone talent and good people right there.
_Bubba Ho-Tep_ was too much of a slow SLOW burn of a film for me, so tempted to fast-forward.🙁 Being a Black '80s baby and '90s teen who loves Horror I definitely enjoyed the cast, being that I had a connection to them already before film.🙂 It have not watched _Bubba Ho-Tep_ in about 14 to 16 years, maybe it is time to give the film another view through these older patient eyes.🤓
I really want to like this movie. I'm a big Bruce Campbell fan. The humor in Bubba Hotep just isn't my style, so the movie falls flat for me unfortunately.
It's the dialogue that I love. "She didn't mind if I got a birdseye view of her love nest, to her I was as harmless as a house cat. I felt my pecker flutter once like a pigeon having a heart attack, then lay back down still and limp". 😂
I had never heard of this flick but hey who doesn't love Bruce Campbell so I gave it a watch. I don't know if I'm just not getting it, but wow was I bored and confused. But mainly bored.
Campbell's greatest performance ever !!!
I Agree 👍🏾👍🏾
I love this movie.I was lucky to be able to see in a local Indy movie theatre when it was first released.

We STILL need a Bubba Nosferatu movie!!!
DAMN RIGHT Speaking of which anyone ❤️ MY NAME IS BRUCE or THE MAN WITH THE SCREAMING BRAIN those are also my favorites
A good friend of mine that has since passed away, we watch this movie together and I'm so glad we did.
Dvd has a audio comm with bruce doing elvis impression
Bubba Hotep is to horror what Logan is to superheroes, an exploration of aging, legacy, and views on life
I used to write crazy short stories like this that people used to love. I might start doing that again.
Try to get them published into one book. That's how Clive Barker made it as a writer and he has written so much amazing horror and fantasy since then.
Do it!
Bubba Ho-Tep is one of those films that just pulls you right in. Well acted all around, some creepy atmospheric moments, and oh that scarab!

And the soundtrack of this movie is awesome beyond belief! I listen to it all the time.
Bubba Ho-Tep is a Classic GOT it on DVD back in the day still have it.

Yup! Spent my school years in nearby Lufkin Texas!
WHEN I FIRST SAW THIS ON VUDU AND THIS MOVIE AGAIN ON TUBI ON MY PLAYLIST I JUST CAN'T RESIST.
Such a cool movie and concept. I always loved this movie. “Cold In July” is another good one from Landsdale.
Love the Sam Axe mention! Bruce was fantastic on Burn Notice! But I have yet to watch this movie, despite hearing about it all my life. I know, I know I'll get on it! It looks like a helluva good time!
Own the movie and just watched it last week. One of Bruce Campbell’s best performances.

Awesome video keep up the good work!

This was such a great movie, always worth a watch!
One of my favorites, and it was a total surprise to me, though, I watched it for Bruce.
5:38 glad I was looking at the screen. Otherwise I never would have found this book if I looked up “The Donut REGION.” 😂
The king playing The King! Hail to the King, baby.
Seeing the how it was made was pretty wholesome
This teams channel is easily the best in every single way. I love this channel and have been watching it for years. Thank you.
Thanks for the Video 😀
Such a trippy movie. We saw it in theatres when we lived in Seattle. Bruce Campbell did pre taped interview at the showing. It was a fun event.
Saw it when it was originally released, wonderful little film 👍
I see Bruce Campbell, I click.
All time classic, this movie goes sene for scene against any MCU movie including any and all Avengers, dont even @ me
No reason to. This is onevof the greatest films ever made. Not B or spoof films. Films. Ever. Bubba Ho-Tep is an unquestionably awesome film.
Wish more movies had this same type of "vibe", for lack of a better word
I named my cat BubbaTron because of this movie and my cat's ability to transform into an Megatron level jerk at times
I just watched Bubba Hotep recently. It was a fun movie. I bit slow to build up, but definitely fun.
Love the movie. But didn't you already do this movie?
OMFG, I LOVE THIS MOVIE and I am only half way through it!
I don't like Elvis and I can't stand most Elvis impressions, so it says a lot about how good Bruce Campbell is in this movie that I like it so much.
Amazing movie.
Bobba Ho-Tep walked, so President Lincoln could run and slay vampires.
"Cleopatra, does, the nasty" 😂😂
I’m glad I own this DVD
It's a masterpiece.
I actually didn't know this was linked to East Texas. That's where I live and know where Gladewater is.

Bruce Campbell. Hail to the king baby!
If chins could kill
Never seen this
You didn't include that Ossie Davis was in Joe vs the Volcano.
Just saying...
I love this movie so much
Hail to The King baby!
This movie is perfect.
Cool movie

Don't make me use my stuff on ya!
Um.... When did Bruce Campbell turn into Bob Saget?
Saw this at a theatre on acid with a fun chick I dated at that time. It was an interesting night.
I had never heard of this flick but hey who doesn't love Bruce Campbell so I gave it a watch. I don't know if I'm just not getting it, but wow was I bored and confused. But mainly bored.
It's a very strange movie, and the pacing is quite slow. It's less of a silly action movie, and more of a poignant reflection on aging.
Its an adaptation?
As great as Campbell is in this movie, Ozzie stole the show.
