>when asked why he only does B movies, Bruce Campbell replied with "What if you were offered a chance to appear in a movie based on a Michael Crichton novel? It will be directed by veteran Frank Marshall. Stan Winston will handle the special effects and it will be a big budget Paramount production, an A movie in every way. Sounds good? Congratulations, you just made ‘Congo. Aaaaaaand it sucked"
>"So did you regret being in it?"
>"No the check cleared just fine"
When asked why he only does B movies...
Congo was kino
mitt romney biopic when?
Damn, can't believe I never made that connection before
Based. Just watched the X-Files with him in it
LONDON BRIDGE IS FALLING DOWN
FALLING DOWN
FALLING DOWN
I can't tell how much truth there was in this.
It seems like a lot, and that's awful. The venom from it absolutely permeated Ash vs. Evil Dead too.
Haven't seen Congo. What made it shit?
he monke
>directed by veteran Frank Marshall
name me one good movie Frank Marshall directed. Not "was involved with in some way probably through his wife". Directed
His cameo in Escape From L.A. is based
yap
But most of everything HE's in becomes Kino, even a shitty TV series like Burn Notice.
>The Traitor
Out next summer in a Chyna Plague secure cinema near you.
(Mask inside car mandatory.)
Some men are in kinos, Bruce just is Kino.
>why he only does B movies
he was in one episode of Fargo S2, the most kino season of any show
probably too silly for most people, but if you like that it's great
Congo was pretty decent. The ending is a bit weird.
He's gotta be at least a little genuinely bitter that he didn't end up like Johnny Depp from Nightmare on Elm Street, Brad Pitt from Cutting Class, Leonardo DiCaprio from Critters, Matthew McConaughey from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Paul Rudd from Halloween, Kevin Bacon from Friday the 13th. In the 1980s, what did they all have that he didn't?
tons of teen fangirls? I don't really know
They cut out all the parts from the book that explained the story
It just kinda falls apart at around the 2/3rd mark.
I never got that from him, if anything he's based his entire career of picking roles on 1 of 2 things
>Ooh, that sounds neat
>You're making another movie Sam? Sure, I'm in
That's pretty consistent with everything he's done.
While it had 0 budget, to me his greatest role that wasn't Ash was playing Autolycus the king of thieves in Xena and Hercules.
Bruce is based beyond belief
it's not, it's a good adventure movie with a fun cast.
Funny how things work out. His character Ash is pretty popular.
Make way for true kino.
On one hand, yeah he never became a household name like them. On the other hand, the dude became the king of B movies for a long time and considering his indie roots that never seemed to bother him. I mean he was what, 23 when Evil Dead came out?
You know actors...bunch of bitchy little girls.
He's in a TV movie version of The Love Bug, which is incredible, because there's literally parts in it where he's "what the fuck am I doing in this movie"
Monkey laser fights
It's hard to tell how many layers of irony the dude is operating on at any given time but like I said, My Name is Bruce, Ash vs. Evil Dead, and this all feature a lot of "Bruce Campbell is a fuckin' loser t. Bruce Campbell"
I also saw an interview about why he doesn't want to play Ash anymore. It's because he's 62 years old, and doing 50 takes in a row where he has to get up off a concrete floor after being decked by a corn-syrup soaked muppet is just physically painful for him now. He said no ill will to the Evil Dead franchise, just that his next dream Ash job is a cartoon or a video game. It didn't feel like his tongue was in his cheek.
I don't see the problem with what he's saying, that's an understandable statement to make
>the spirit is willing but the flesh is spongey and bruised
I figured as much. Imagine having to do all those getting up and falling down, doing all those sudden jerky movements with your chainsaw arm, etc.
