Book Comments & Discussion

If you are a Bruce Campbell fan you'll LOVE this book. When I was reading it I chuckled at the wit and humor of Bruce Campbell. I sort of knew what to expect from this after seeing some of his movies. One thing I wish is that he would've focused more on some of his other movies than the Evil Dead Trilogy (they're great, don't get me wrong.) For example, Sundown A Vampire in Retreat wasn't mentioned much. Maybe he felt embarrassed or ashamed to talk about it, I'm not really sure. Anyway, even if you aren't a fan and you are looking into breaking into the movie making business this is a must read.

Storyline

My Chin Can Kill is a delightfully irreverent, yet oddly touching, epic of ambition and disappointment, fame and anonymity, and lots of fake blood. Told in Bruce's wry, sarcastic voice, it is a "Hollywood from the bleacher seats" look at his experiences in film and TV and at his status as a cult horror and sci-fi movie god. This man with the face of a matinee idol and the heart of a Three Stooge first attracted what has grown into an enormous cult following as the star of Sam Raimi's legendary Evil Dead trilogy of thriller-comedies. With tireless good humor and biting wit, Bruce acted, produced, and directed his way through a baker's dozen of "B" horror films and space operas before finally enjoying mainstream stardom on prime-time TV. Deeply earnest and fiercely funny, this book tells the story of an unlikely star who continues to lead a unique double life as cult movie icon and regular Joe.
