Anyone remember Brisco county Jr.

yup, Sam Raimi and company created some amazing shit for such a miniscule budget...they created a classic for what was the catering budget on Titanic....
I have an intense appreciateion for these ultra low budget movies...you have to watch them with a different set of eyes than a typical Hollywood production...
Hard to believe the man who created a true horror classic really only made one horror film (The Evil Dead, the rest were more comedy/slapstick horror) with Darkman was more comic book style horror/sci-fi) and Spider-Man being pure comic book fodder and iof course Hercules, Xena, Cleoppatra 2525, Jack Of All Trades being fantasy...
even though Darkman is one of my all time favorite movies, I would loved to have seen Bruce Campbell with the role that went to Liam Neesom instead of just playing the fake shemp at the end....
his newest flick "Bubba Ho tep" has gotten great reviews from the online critics (I give them a teeny tiny bit more credibility than "mainstream" critics)...Bruce Campbell as Elvis is truly inspired casting....
