I have to say, I love me some Bruce Campbell. I have his auto-biography If Chins Could Kill, I've got the entire series of The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. on DVD, and he's one of the main reasons I watch Burn Notice. Hell, I've even seen Alien Apocalypse. I like him because he has always embraced his B-movie-star status and never comes across as one of those people who are bitter that they're not Tom Hanks.For example, this is a film spoofing his entire career. Not only does he play himself, he directed it. That's awesome.
Bruce Campbell (Bruce Campbell) is a boozy, bitter, B-movie actor stuck making lame-ass sequels to already lame-ass movies like "Cave Alien" when he gets kidnapped by a superfan named Jeff (Taylor Sharpe). Jeff and some friends were goofing off in a local cemetery when they accidentally unleash Guan-Di, the demon guarding the souls of Chinese workers killed in a mine collapse. The townspeople hope Bruce Campbell can save them from the demon but Bruce thinks it's a joke his agent (Ted Raimi) set up.
Think Galaxy Quest only with a demon instead of aliens and Bruce Campbell instead of Tim Allen.
This really is just a tribute to the fans. If you're not a Campbellite, you'll probably want to steer clear. If, however, you can quote the entirety of Army of Darkness you'll be right at home.
Now, gimme some sugar, baby.
