• Alternative Character Interpretation: Even Elvis himself at one point doubts that he's really Elvis. Then he decides that it doesn't matter one way or the other.
  • The director states in the commentary that it was intentionally left so that it works whether or not he and JFK are really who they think they are. He specifically points out one line that could be Elvis and JFK talking about their family lives, or both admitting they are fooling themselves.
  • There's also a moment that implies JFK's story is true, and this makes the other characters' stories more plausible by extension.
• Crowning Music of Awesome: The soundtrack to this film elevates it another level above what it could have fallen into.
  • Oh so much so!
  • "Hail to the king, baby."
  • It helps that the score is by Bryan Tyler, who also provided the music for Six-String Samurai, another (albeit indirectly) Elvis-centric film.
• He Really Can Act: No less a critic than Roger Ebert declared this the best acting Bruce Campbell has ever done.
• What the Hell, Casting Agency?: Bruce Campbell as an elderly Elvis. And it works.
