Basically, in a nutshell...B Movie Legend Bruce Campbell is mistaken for his character Ash from the Evil Dead trilogy and forced to fight a real monster in a small town in Oregon. The monster this time isn't a spirit that possesses the living. This time its Guan-di. An ancient evil protector of Bean Curd!
If you're a fan of the Evil Dead films then you're in for a goofy ride with Bruce. I wasn't disappointed. It's jam packed with inside jokes and references to the point that if you're not a fan or you've never checked out the Evil Dead films (or any of his flicks) you'll be lost.There's some fun decapitations and splattering sprinkled here and there to boot.
The lead chick and love interest works great with Ash, um, I mean Bruce. And Grace Thorsen is also a hottie!Bruce is screening now nationwide - check it out here. In the meantime, here's the freakin' trailer:
i love how Ted Raimi plays THREE characters in this film. So much B-movie inside jokes it'll make a fanboy's head spin! Absurdity & inside jokes ensue when Campbell takes the helm...
i had to go & watch a "Moontrap" / "Crimewave" double-feature right after seeing this for old time's sake.
The template is generated by freakin' Tommy P. The best in exploitation cinema from kung-fu to horror to afrocentric. 70's style. Ya' stupid muthafucka!
