My name is Bruce
  • HowwieHowwie February 2009

    Well, my name isn't Bruce, but hopefully it is understood what I am referring to. If not, I will explain it. Right now.

    My Name is Bruce is the new movie directed by and starring B-Movie legend Bruce "Bigchin" Campbell. It's about a small town that unwillingly releases a demon that starts to kill them (mostly by beheading them). In a panic, they turn to the only man they think that can help them: Bruce Campbell. What they don't seem to understand is that Bruce Campbell is not a demon-slayer, he's just an actor.

    This movie is definitely a B movie, it's definitely cheesy, and it's definitely awesome. Has anyone else checked this movie out yet? I know it was just released on DVD and Blu Ray, and I was very happy to pick it up.

    I remember hearing about that at some point. That's definitely going on my list.

    Not to be confused with a pretty damn funny movie called "They Call Me Bruce?" (and its sequel "They Still Call Me Bruce?") about a guy who is continually mistaken for Bruce Lee.

    It's funny you should say that, because they're apparently working on a sequel called "My Name is Still Bruce".

    I've heard about this movie for the past four years, but still haven't seen anything other than a comic book (which I haven't been spending money on, as it's not the real Bruce Campbell).

    Funny movie. Full of so much camp you could call it David (bad pun, I know). Not to mention a ton of references to his other movies. Great flick.

    The best comparison i can make is that it's like Jay and Silent Bob strike back. It is incredibly self referential and is best enjoyed with a knowledge and enjoyment of Bruce's career and history.

    I gave up after the first half hour. Does it get any better? The only thing I laughed at was the Amazon.com joke and even then it wasn't that great of a joke.

    Like what Ferros said, you kind of have to know all about Bruce. Its a movie for a niche (not even cult really) audience.

    I know a lot about Bruce. I bought his second book just so I could go to a signing of his. He can be a funny guy but the part of the movie I saw was full of bad acting and unfunny Bruce worship. Any other night I probably would've stuck with it but I had a stack of movies that night I had to get through because they were due back the next day. I just want to know if it's worth going back and finishing? Does the last hour get better?

    "look, here's some deodorant - search that from your internets" - that REALLY cracked me up when Bruce was in a rush to leave the set of ... Cave Alien 2 :D and fans surrounded him.

    I got this movie on DVD right after it was released here and at first I didn't like it at all (except that quote I mentioned earlier). I knew it was all camp'n stuff but it was taken SO over the top that it lost its meaning to me. I think I expected kinda more Army of Darkness kinda humor but on a second time movie went up in my books - a LOT :)

    I like the flick, DVD was cheap and I do like Bruce Campbell and his movies. I did an email interview with him once and his answers were pretty damn funny and probably he was drunk as hell when he answered them. Anyways - props to Bruce for making this indy flick and all fans of Bruce and/or movies he's in should watch this

    re-donk-ulus is about the only word for this movie. It is both bad and awesome in equal measures. (and it is an instant watch on netflix.)
