In addition to a co-writing credit, this 2005 sci-fi comedy marks Bruce Campbell's first foray into directing.
Plot: Bruce Campbell plays a mustachioed CEO who travels to post-communist Bulgaria on business, with disgruntled wife in tow. However, Bruce, his wife and an ex-KGB taxi driver are all killed by a beautifully homicidal gypsy who's clearly as mad as a shit-house fly. Scientist Stacey Keach (American History X) and his bumbling assistant-Ted Raimi revive Bruce with bits of left over brain from the cabbie and resurrect his wife with the body of what can only be described as a prostitute robot from the future. The mustachioed one and his co-pilot must now share one body, track down their killer and seek vengeance for their deaths.
As well as containing one of the best falling-down-the-staircase death scenes ever, this movie also answers that ever present existential question...how do two minds, occupying one body decide on what to have at the salad bar?!
Line of the film: "Sounds like there's some shizzle going down there, my nizzle".
Budget: $2,000,000
Fun Fact: Dark Horse Comics published a four issue comic book series based on the film. Groovy!
