Bruce is Back and Better than Ever



Guan-di, the Chinese God of war rises from the dead in the small mining town of Gold Lick, Oregon. Evil teenagers desecrate Guan-di's grave and soon find themselves face to face with a murderous spirit. The souls and graves of hundreds of Chinese miners need protection; so Guan-di lays waste to the surrounding teenagers and their immediate families (Trailer).

God Guan-di vows to annihilate all those who have awoken him and his long dead brothers, including most of the townsfolk in this sleepy town. The inbred community of Gold Lick is soon looking for a hero to take on Guan-di, but the only one available is a washed up action actor known as Bruce Campbell (Trailer).

Campbell laughingly goes along with the towns plans to defeat Guan-di in the belief that this is part of an elaborate birthday celebration by the townspeople for himself. When this unbelieving former action hero confronts Guan-di in the local cemetery things go wrong quickly. Campbell must use all of his action-adventure acting tricks to send Guand-di back to the grave once and for all (Trailer).

Rating: R for language and some violence.

Release Date: January, 2009 on DVD/Blu-Ray (Currently in theatres with a limited release).

Starring: Bruce Campbell, and Ted Raimi.

Director: Bruce Campbell.

Writer: Mark Verheiden (Internet).

The success and hilarity of "Bubba Ho-Tep," is probably one of the reasons that Campbell continues to draw loyal fans to each of his films. Although, "My Name is Bruce," is going straight to DVD it is possible to see this film in some theatres as Bruce Campbell travels city to city displaying the film. From some of the early entertaining reviews horror fans must watch "My Name is Bruce," in Theatres (Cinematical).

One reviewer is describing "My Name is Bruce," as; a spoof of horror films, an old-fashioned comedy, and a basic, yet broad film. Some very kind remarks for a small film that, unfortunately is not receiving he attention it deserves. Campbell's campy style of over-the-top humour and action hijinks will propel this film to theatres and DVD/Blu-Ray formats in 2008 and throughout 2009 (Cinematical).
