Seriously, I'm sure this movie sucks as much as it's great, but fuck, I love this flick.

Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Romance... Kurt Russell being Kurt Russell and of course... Kim Cattrall in her prime...

One of my favorite Bruce Campbell performances is basically an extended cameo in Sam Raimi's next film after 'Evil Dead' titled 'Crimewave'. It's like a live action cartoon. Very goofy. Bruce is king!

You know they're producing another one, don't you? Question is, do you wanna see it?
