I love this movie. It was released years ago and is very hard to get on Blu-Ray now. It's only been available on region B.  It looks like Scream Factory is going to do a collector's edition release of it. For those if you not familiar with their work they try to give the fans of these movies what they want. High quality releases with lots of extras.

I might rewatching it then, but I remember hating it with a passion the first time.

My name is Bruce was funny though

I think this movie tests whether or not you appreciate BC as an actor. If you think he's just another B/C movie/tv actor then you hate it, but if you crush on that magnificent chin you fall for it.

There's just too much randomness in it for me not to laugh and enjoy it for the quirkiness.

It's a lot like Idiocracy. First viewing, wtf is this shit? After multiple viewings you begin to realize the genius of it all... especially when it seems to be coming true.

Damn, I honestly thought I may have been one of the only people on the planet to have actually seen this movie! I bought it on DVD years ago. Bruce Campbell, a mummy, a black JFK, and Elvis? Yes, please!

"He's going to shove that gas can up Jack's ass. Then he's going to shove Jack and his wheelchair up my ass."

To this day that line can still get a laugh out of me.
