Oh the brilliance that is Bubba Ho-Tep.
The story: Elvis got tired of the fame and switched places with an impersonator. Some years later, while performing, his hip gave out and he fell off the stage and into a coma. Flash forward and he's in a retirement home in Texas and friends with a black man who's convinced he's JFK (they dyed his skin, y'see). And then, there's a mummy. With cowboy boots and a hat. So they fight him.
Bruce Campbell owns me. He does a credible impersonation of the cartoon Elvis became, and an even better performance of an aging man who's lost everything. It's like the sick, sick red-haired, bastard step-cousin of About Schmidt, crossed with The Mummy, and every campy bit of dreck Campbell ever had a part in.
