Post by: Cheebs on May 23, 2007, 11:21:08 AM
A Indiana Jones-esque western/sci-fi (makes sense since the show was created and written by the screenwriter of Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade)

or 

An elderly Elvis and President Kennedy taking on a Mummy in a  amazing comedy/horror



:punch

I voted for Brisco County Jr. because I loved the show growing up, I haven't seen Bubba Ho-Tep and I work with the guy who played Whip Morgan in Brisco County Jr.  :-*

So simple, it has to be Bubba.  You've got Ossie Davis thinking he's JFK.  Which I proudly own and watched last week.

Anyone not voting for his Elvis in Bubba Hotep gets put in a headlock.

*I also proudly own this, and I watched it just two nights ago.

I'd go with Brisco County but it's more to do with my crush on Kelly Rutherford than anything else :drool

Bubba Ho-Tep was too manufactured cult film for my taste.

 :lol

This is possibly the most mystifying criticism I've seen on these boards.

Intentionally forced? 

They made this movie on a modest budget in six weeks' time and tried (unsuccessfully) to get it signed to every major studio.  They had no choice but to use the movie's appeal (cambell's fanbase) to get the movie in theaters at all.

It was almost straight to dvd but it's a good film and people stood up for it.  I loved it.  You don't SEE hollywood movies that surprise you anymore, and i hate paying money for a piece of "entertainment' I could have trumped my own damn self.

Bubba Ho-Tep was a lot different than I expected it would be, but I really liked what it was.  It was slower paced, kind of bittersweet, and dealt with the slow fade of aging.  It was almost Wes Anderson-ish in a few ways.
