Bubba Ho-Tep

Details

Universally acclaimed by fans and critics alike during its theatrical release, Don Coscarelli's brilliant Bubba Ho-Tep, starring Bruce Campbell (the Evil Dead trilogy; Spider-Man 2), comes to DVD as a features-packed, two-disc special edition courtesy of Anchor Bay UK on 21st March 2005.

Including all the special features previously included on the US Region 1 single-disc edition, this two-disc UK edition boasts a host of amazing and totally exclusive additional extras, many of which were produced especially for this release with the co-operation of Don Coscarelli and star Bruce Campbell. The two discs also feature specially created 3-D animated menus, again exclusive to the UK release.

Something very strange is going on at the Shady Rest Retirement Home in Mud Creek, Texas. It is the present day, and the King of Rock 'n' Roll (Bruce Campbell) is quietly living out his twilight years in the company of fellow resident, former US president John F. Kennedy (Ossie Davis). Contrary to popular belief, JFK managed to dodge the assassin's bullet but in the aftermath had his skin dyed black and his head messed with by "Them" at the White House. But that's not half of it. According to the former president, there's a malevolent Egyptian mummy on the loose in the halls of the home intent on devouring the residents' souls. Reluctant to take this evil threat lying down, Elvis and JFK decide it's time to kick some mummy ass!

Armed with just a Zimmer frame, a wheelchair, a makeshift flame-thrower and some dubious karate moves, the decrepit duo set about taking care of business…

Bubba Ho-Tep features a remarkable show-stopping and career-defining performance by Bruce Campbell as Elvis, described by both the Hollywood Reporter and Daily Variety as one of the best screen interpretations of the King to date. One of the most original and touching genre films you will ever see, Bubba Ho-Tep is the must-see film of the year and an essential DVD for all Bruce Campbell fans.

The two-disc special collector's edition of Bubba Ho-Tep will be released on DVD by Anchor Bay UK on 21st March 2005.
