COLLIDER calls BUBBA “one of the most profound and surprising comedies of the 21st century.”
Great news for Bubba Ho-Tep fans—Collider has just ranked our beloved cult classic among the 10 Most Unpredictable Comedy Movies of All Time! It’s always exciting to see the film getting the recognition it deserves, especially alongside some truly legendary and offbeat comedies.
For those who know and love Bubba Ho-Tep, this comes as no surprise. With Bruce Campbell as an aging Elvis Presley, Ossie Davis as JFK, and an ancient Egyptian mummy terrorizing a nursing home, the movie is as wild as it sounds. But beyond the bizarre premise, Bubba Ho-Tep has always stood out for its mix of humor, horror, and unexpected heart—a combination that continues to resonate with fans over 20 years later.
Collider’s list also includes some other great films known for their unpredictable nature, such as:
Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022) – A mind-bending, multiversal adventure blending action, absurdity, and family drama.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) – A comedy classic that throws logic (and coconuts) out the window.
Being John Malkovich (1999) – A surreal dive into celebrity, identity, and puppetry.
Airplane! (1980) – A non-stop barrage of jokes, sight gags, and absurd situations.
To see Bubba Ho-Tep celebrated alongside these films is a great reminder of why it has remained a cult favorite.
