Bubba Ho-tep is a 2002 film starring Bruce Campbell as a nursing home resident who claims that he is Elvis Presley.
While the film is ostensibly about an Egyptian mummy (played by Bob Ivy) terrorizing a retirement home, 'Bubba Ho-tep' is about aging and growing old in a culture that values only the young.
To be followed by Bubba Nosferatu: Curse of the She-Vampires, starring Sebastian Haff.

 Bubba Ho-tep (2002)
BUBBA HOTEP is a magnificent blending of many different styles and genres.
Elvis was both the "bubba" in our world -- the dumb hick -- and the Hotep -- immortal God King.
But the real Elvis, tragically, abused his body and defiled his own divinity with "drugs and stupidity and the coveting of women." (As the movie says.) In the final battle Elvis is not merely slaying the mummy -- he is overcoming himself.

 calendarlive.com: 'Bubba Ho-Tep'
The limp spoof "Bubba Ho-Tep" imagines that Elvis Presley (Bruce Campbell) is alive and residing in the Shady Rest Convalescent Home in Mud Creek, Texas.
Outside of an infestation of giant killer cockroaches at Shady Rest, "Bubba Ho-Tep's" writer-director Don Coscarelli, maker of such potent cult films as "Phantasm" and "The Beastmaster," fails to come up with enough incidents and action to make this overly leisurely picture the zany fun it means to be.
Elvis, who has had plenty of time to ponder his professional and personal regrets, sees his chance at redemption in destroying Bubba Ho-Tep, aided by his Shady Rest pal (Ossie Davis), who believes he is JFK dyed to look like an African American.

 Bubba Ho-Tep
“Mind-blowing in its originality, Bubba Ho-tep transcends the “late-night cult” genre by virtue of captivating performances by Campbell and Davis, and the assured direction of Don Coscarelli.
He treats the characters, and old age for that matter, with such respect that no matter how absurd things become, you are completely with him.
We find the King(Bruce Campbell) as an elderly resident in an East Texas rest home, who switched identities with an Elvis impersonator years before his “death”, then missed his chance to switch back.

 The GATE: Bubba Ho-Tep Film Review
Elvis Presley fans may not be so happy when they see Bubba Ho-Tep, a film that stars the incredible Bruce Campbell as the supposedly late, but great King of Rock n' Roll.
The twist is that he's alive today and living in an old-folks home in Texas after he gave up his life to an impersonator, one Sebastian Haff (who is also played by Campbell).
Never mind that though, it's not really important enough to hurt the film, because with Campbell as Elvis, in his best role ever and in a film that deserves international success (and obviously distribution), nothing should stop you from running out to see this film.

 Bubba Ho-tep Review At DVDwolf.com
Bubba Ho-tep, as with most independent projects, seemed to be a labour of love and the maker’s appreciation of the receptive midnight crowd was evident.
The Irrefutable Truth about Demons, a film from the 2000 festival, still manages to elude me. Anyway, the Midnight Madness showing of Bubba Ho-tep was no exception to this rule.
Don Coscarelli, the man responsible for the Phantasm franchise and Bruce Campbell, who needs no introduction, were both present at the screening.

 2002 Toronto International Film Festival
Bubba Ho-Tep, a low budget indie flick that screened as part of the festival's Midnight Madness programme, finds Elvis alive and well and, at the age of 68, living in a Texas retirement home.
But it was that long, horrible process that ultimately made Bubba Ho-Tep an ideal feature for Midnight Madness, the roster of the festival's shlockiest and most subversive flicks.
Bubba Ho-Tep took six weeks to shoot, almost twice as long as the average super-low budget feature, Campbell says.

 Horror tale 'Bubba Ho-tep' embodies profound sense of loss
"Bubba Ho-tep" is not a comedy of guffaws and goofy gags, but a wry, underplayed little piece with an undercurrent of loss and abandonment.
They're a pair made in the buddy movie heaven of an alternate universe in Don Coscarelli's weirdly inspired "Bubba Ho-tep," an unclassifiable horror comedy that wraps JFK conspiracies and Elvis sightings around a mummy movie set in a drab Texas retirement home.
The film shuffles along as slowly as the grimy home's residents and the aggressively non-descript mustiness of the home's half-furnished rooms and depressing hallways are anyone's worst nightmares of being old, invalid and abandoned to nothingness.

 Film Threat - Reviews
The mummy, Bubba Ho-Tep (so named because of his penchant for cowboy hats and Tony Lamas), is on screen for a surprisingly short amount of time, as the bulk of the film is devoted to Elvis and his relationship with JFK.
The Elvis at the beginning of “Bubba Ho-Tep” is a pale reflection of the old King; he needs a walker to get around, has a possibly cancerous growth on his penis, and hasn’t had a boner in “two presidential elections,” as he puts it.
During the screening, Campbell mentioned that “Bubba Ho-Tep” was the weirdest script he’d ever read, but that was a GOOD THING because it’s *not* your cookie cutter Hollywood formula picture.

Bubba Ho-tep (Unrated; 92 min.), directed and written by Don Coscarelli, based on the story by Joe R. Landsdale, photographed by Adam Janiero and starring Bruce Campbell and Ossie Davis, opens Friday at Camera 7 in Campbell.
Sadly, Bubba Ho-tep is a perfect example of a million-dollar idea and a 50-cent script.
Despite the rich lore available as source material for a tale of the King vs. the Pharaoh, Bubba Ho-tep is as big a disappointment as a post-King Creole Elvis movie.

 Elvis, JFK & the Undead? Whoa, 'Bubba' (washingtonpost.com)
Bubba Ho-tep (92 minutes, at Landmark's E Street Cinema) is rated R for extremely graphic obscenity, nudity and gruesome violence.
Here's how it all went down -- at least in writer-director Don Coscarelli's sleazily enjoyable "Bubba Ho-tep." Looking to take some serious downtime early in his heyday, it seems the real Elvis made a deal with Sebastian, the aforementioned impersonator, who is a dead ringer for the King.
And his pelvis is giving him terrible trouble.

 Acorn Daily: Bubba Ho-Tep Review
I began watching Bubba Ho-Tep with the intention to rip it to shreds and make it the blunt of various insults; but every time I felt the urge to ridicule it, I embraced it's far-fetched nature.
This has to be one of the most retarded premises for a movie I have ever seen!!!" It wasn't until I learned about the extravagent cult following of Bubba Ho-Tep's star Bruce Campbell that I realized there may be some substance to this film.
nevertheless, Bubba Ho-Tep is going down as one of the most intriguing films I have ever seen.

 Film Review: Bubba Ho-tep
Bubba Ho-tep is narrated by Elvis in voiceover, discussing fame, fortune and a cancerous male appendage, but the real joy is letting the script speak for itself, with Campbell and Davis spitting out quotables one after another.
There's something delightfully infectious about Bubba Ho-tep, an entertaining B-movie, starring Bruce Campbell (The Evil Dead series), as an aging, grouchy Elvis in a South Texas retirement home.
If this doesn't sound like a good setup for a goofy movie, then stop reading and head onto the next review.

 'Ho-Tep': Elvis Hasn't Left the Building (washingtonpost.com)
"Bubba Ho-tep" is one of those films that sound good on paper.
Joe R. Lansdale's short story, on which the campy film is based, was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award, which is kind of like the Pulitzer for horror fiction.
Written and directed by Don Coscarelli, creator of "Phantasm" (and its various sequels), the film stars Bruce Campbell of the "Evil Dead" series as Elvis in a touching, funny and at times grotesque performance that is actually the best thing about the movie.

 Bubba Ho-tep
Among voice-over ruminations over not knowing his daughter, wondering if Priscilla would still love him if she knew he was alive and obsessing over his deteriorating physical condition, Elvis and Jack observe the lumbering, not-very-scary Bubba Ho-tep enter the rest home at night and consume souls in a very nasty way.
Enthusiastically received at its world premiere and seeking distribution -- which it deserves even if it isn't exactly a masterpiece -- "Bubba Ho-tep" stars Bruce Campbell ("Spider-Man") as the remorseful, sad-sack King in a performance for the ages.
Not much else happens, and the cast of supporting characters -- from a hard-hearted, shapely daughter of a deceased patient (Heidi Marnhout) to a brain-zapped old guy who thinks he's the Lone Ranger (Larry Pennell) -- is fairly standard.

Bubba Ho-tep explores the musical question, "What would happen if Elvis and JFK were alive today and living in a retirement home haunted by an Egyptian soul-sucking monster?" It's a smart and clever movie.
I was quite pleased, however, to see that Bubba Ho-tep continues its run.
It has, however, been unable to get distribution, so few places outside Austin have been able to see it.

 Bubba Ho-Tep by Brian Tyler
As the film “Bubba Ho-Tep” was only in extremely limited theatrical release, making its viewing about as rare as an Elvis sighting, that’s all I can tell you about the plot.
All artwork from Bubba Ho-Tep is exclusive property of Varese Sarabande Records (c) 2003.
You’ll hear it very early in the score, kicking off with track 2 (“Bubba”) which then bursts into a huge, swaggering take on the theme in the following track, “The King.” Now, for some fans who don’t like to hear composer retread themes, be warned.

 Flipside Movie Emporium: Q&A with Bruce Campbell & Don Coscarelli
On February 27 the two hosted a screening of their latest venture, Bubba Ho-tep (written and directed by Coscarelli and starring Campbell), at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood; they took questions from the audience -- on Bubba Ho-tep and other projects -- following the film.
But I took Bubba around when I was doing some of my book tour, and it was really refreshing: in most large cities there is some funky-ass theater that shows all these wacky movies.
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.

 Review: Bubba Ho-Tep
Alongside a black JFK (Ossie Davis), he must confront the ancient evil of the soul-sucking mummy Bubba Ho-Tep (Bob Ivy).
If you're tired of conventional horror movies, try Bubba Ho-Tep, a cinematic oddity from director Don Coscarelli.
Nevertheless, as I enjoyed this low-budget tale of a dead Egyptian let loose on today's world, I couldn't help wonder how much better the recent big-budget Mummy movies could have been with Coscarelli at the helm.
