Hail to the King, Baby! "Guns, Girls and Gambling!"

It's being released on February 28th... in Russia...

That can't be a good sign!


The Story:

John Smith (Christian Slater) is at an Indian Casino, tries his hand at Elvis Impersonation against Gay Elvis (Chris Kattan), Little Person Elvis (Tony Cox), Asian Elvis and The King (Gary Oldman).  The boys all play poker that night, and when Smith wakes up in the morning, an ancient mask has been stolen from the casino, and everyone, and I mean EVERYONE wants it back.  Smith claims he doesn't have it, but that's not going to stop an assorted who's who of crazies from trying to find him, and kill him, to get it back.

You know, sometimes you never know what to expect in a movie like this.  The title alone warns you, it's strictly Grade B (or Z, your call) for script, title, etc. etc.

Then the movie starts, and you realize that it's a venture that doesn't take itself anymore seriously than the title did, and this film doesn't disappoint.

Instead, you smile and shake your head in amusement at the story they are pulling off in front of you, kick back, check your brain at the door, and try and have a good time.

You do that, this film won't disappoint.

Try and understand why master thespian Gary Oldman is in this film playing Elvis, and you will give yourself a migraine!

As for me, I enjoyed it.

Available to stream instantly on Netflix as of this writing.


Final Grade:  B

Would I Want to Own It:  Amazingly enough, I could watch this one again when I'm in the mood for some Budget Movie Awesomeness!
