I give you Bubba Ho-Tep

Based on the Bram Stoker Award nominee short story by cult author Joe R. Lansdale, Bubba Ho-tep tells the "true" story of what really did become of Elvis Presley. We find Elvis (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. Elvis teams up with Jack (Ossie Davis), a fellow nursing home resident who thinks that he is actually President John F. Kennedy, and the two valiant old codgers sally forth to battle an evil Egyptian entity who has chosen their long-term care facility as his happy hunting grounds.

I literally fell down when my friend pulled this off the shelf at the video store. I go to watch it now. I'll report back.

You blaspheme -- Bubba Ho-tep rocks. It's a great example of oddball writing, low budget, great acting, and sheer creativity. A black, aging JFK complaining about how part of his brain has been replaced with a bag of sand -- what's not to like?

and it's got the legend that is Bruce Campbell. Nuff said.
