Bruce Campbell has made a name for himself with some of the best B movies out there. So he decided to direct a movie that spoofs the typecast that he became.
It's got all of the classic scenes you would expect from a good B movie. The bad costumes, the decapitations, and a far fetched demon that has a simple weakness. It all starts with four teenagers who begin breaking stuff in an old graveyard. One of the teenagers, Jeff, takes an item from a grave that he shouldn't have taken. The item belongs to Guan-Di, the Chinese God of War and Protector of the Dead, who also happens to have a soft spot for bean curd.
Bruce Campbell happens to be working on another film close by. Jeff idolizes Bruce and wants him to help defeat Guan-Di. Like some fans, Jeff has blurred reality with movies and thinks that Bruce Campbell is more like one of the characters that he played than a person in real life. Bruce however, thinks that it is a stunt by his agent for a birthday surprise, so he plays along.
Bruce dashes the dreams of everyone in the town of Goldlick, including his number one fan. But then redeems himself by coming back to fight Guan-Di.
It's a lovable laugh at the B movies that Bruce Campbell has made. It's not necessary to have viewed a Bruce Campbell movie prior to viewing this one, but it would help greatly if you have prior experience with Bruce.
I give this movie 3 1/2 out of 5 BC 5000 chainsaws.
