> [@Quasimodem](#): > > A couple of weeks ago, I saw him in a movie in which he starred as his present character in Burn Notice, Sam Axe, a Commander in the SEALS (Now a retired FBI agent in BN). Since I came in late I don’t know the name of the film, but I thought it was kinda neat that his character carried over into a tv series. Not much to add that hasn’t already been said, but do want to make a correction. Sam used to rat on Michael to the FBI, but “The Fall of Sam Axe” leads fairly directly into Burn Notice, and Sam was never an FBI agent. Watched Escape from L.A. the other day, and as always, enjoyed the Surgeon General of Beverly Hills, in an otherwise barely mediocre film. ---

Evil Dead 2 is just more of Evil Dead 1. It’s not even really a sequel - it’s basically the same movie, same location, same plot, same characters. Ash is less whiny and snivelly, and more kick ass. Not army of darkness kick ass, but just more so than the Ashley from ED1. Oh, and it’s got that creepy fucking moose head. I hate that moose head. IOW, yes, worth the $2. ---

It has Bruce Campbell, man - of course it’s worth $2! Hell, I’d probably pay way more than that. Loves me some Bruce. He’s been in some epically bad movies - Alien Apocalypse? Oof - but I still love him. ---

Bruce Campbell is a GOD! A GOD I tell ya! My wife doesn’t like Bruce…and this has caused me to seriously consider divorce. ---

> [@Quasimodem](#): > > But from an economical standpoint, I bet it didn’t cost much to make. One of my favorite Bruce Campbell quotes, [from when I saw him way back at Project A-kon one year](http://www.peteandkellie.com/images/misc/bruce_campbell.jpg), is “the movies that are the easiest to make are the hardest to watch.” He admitted to being in plenty of movies that were pretty easy to make. > [@Oslo Ostragoth](#): > > OK, guys, help me with my playlist (I have Hulu + and Netflix): > > The Evil Dead > Evil Dead II (not available?) > Army of Darkness (not available?) > Bubba Ho-tep > Man with the Screaming Brain (not available?) > Xena and Herc episodes (can’t find a source for Brisco County) > > Any more suggestions? Sure! You want good movies with Bruce Campbell in them? Somebody already mentioned the _Spider-Man_ franchise, but there’s also:[ul][li]_ **Sky High** _ - (he plays Coach Boomer) It’s a much better Bruce Campbell/Kurt Russell movie than _Escape From L.A._[_] **Ant Bully** - He’s the voice of Fugax, the scout ant.[_]_ **Fargo** _ - See if you can spot him.[/ul]Plus, if you’re a glutton for punishment, there’re always the _Maniac Cop_ movies…[/li] > [@Zebra](#): > > I have a signed copy of “Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way”, which is a rip off as it is not a love making technique book. No, but it’s funny when Bruce is practicing his fight scene with Richard Gere and sends him crashing through a glass coffee table.
