Bubba Ho-Tep changed my life!
Anyone else have a religious experience watching this flick?

1. Was it good, or so-bad-it's-good?

2. It's great!
Must see. So good it's good. Campbell's best since Evil Dead III.

3. Good, but campy good.
Lots of great one-liners too. Very well-acted, well-executed film.

5. I still miss Brisco County Jr.
I can't believe its been ten years since they took it off the air. TNT does not show reruns anymore so I have to wait to see if it comes out on DVD.

I haven't seen Bubba Ho-Tep yet but I might get once I finally watch all the DVD I have already purchased. I hear Ossie Davis is great as "JFK".

7. I think Brisco was put out for the Columbia TV Show DVD club
And there's been talk about it being released, but that was supposed to be back in 2002. You can get the show, depending on how legal you want to get it. Just do a few Google searches for it and you'll see what I mean.

8. JFK as a JFK assassination conspiracy theorist, to boot!
Ossie Davis really made that role work.

6. Bubba is freaking great! There's already talk of possible sequels
And for once, I'm glad!




Q: Can you talk about any possible sequels?

DC: Should we ask ? We have two choices. There's Bubba Nosferatu: Curse of the She-Vampires. Now Bruce sees this as a little more of a young Elvis...

BC: It's what Elvis did, like, between Clambake and something else. He's into a bunch of voodoo and black arts, so it's like , "Come on sonny, we're goin' to New Orleans!"

DC: That's number one. Now number two -- we realized that you could take "Bubba" and put any monster name after it and have a sequel. So the other one that we were really getting into was Bubba Sasquach, where we would send Elvis up to the north woods and team him up with somebody to fight a tribe of killer Bigfoots. So I think we should take a vote.
