My Name is Bruce – Be Warned
July 22nd 2008 00:02
Bruce Campbell gets out the BOOM-STICK!.
“Unlike most action stars I can speak…what’s the word? English!” – Bruce Campbell
Everyone’s favourite lantern jawed cult hero Bruce Campbell is famous for his part as Ash in the Evil Dead trilogy and for cameos in a multitude of other Sam Raimi’s films since. His legacy extends to summoning the spirit of the king, brilliant as retirement village Elvis in Bubba Ho-Tep and numerous other horror curios like Maniac Cop.
Now the big man himself stars in and Directs the horror comedy My Name is Bruce. The cock sure B grade legend plays himself. Buying into his own image when a small town in Oregon is invaded by “the chinese god of war, protector of the dead” he thinks he is the only man capable of smighting the beast, he is wrong!
“You need someone who can take on a heinous monster and stop it in its tracks…That would be me.” – Bruce Campbell
Written by Mark Verheiden who worked on the Battlestar Galactica reimagining and co starring buddy Ted Raimi (Army of Darkness), My Name is Bruce is due for release in October in the US and on DVD in January 2009.
The new trailer (below) for the film had JD trying to conjure a “she-bitch”, “just to give it some sugar”. So crack out the “boom stick” and get ready to chug some bourbon, molest some women and whip some evil oriental butt.
On a side note if you are even remotely a fan of Bruce, check out his autobiography titled If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Grade Movie Actor, it’s a frank and hilarious behind the scenes struggle of sub-existence within the film industry.

Get out of my head, man!!!
LOVED "Army of Darkness"--it's in my library.
Believe it or not, never saw "Bubba-Ho-Tep, but I'm now ordering it. Along with "My name is Bruce", of course....

Ahhhh, The Chin.
My Name is Bruce looks a little too schlapschlockschtick for my tastes, but hey ...
The Dinner for Five excerpt was fascinating, is that a concept of Jon Favreau's?

I enjoyed Bruce's Ash in Marvel Zombies, though... the clone Bruce gets his head bitten off by zombie Howard the Duck!
that Dinner for Five clip was great - what is that?

Always cool to meet more fans of the man, "My name is Bruce" looks like fun.
Have you read Bruce's biography, fantastic anecdotes.
