My Name Is Bruce

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Mr. Campbell makes soup. My name is Bruce.

The quaint little town of Gold Lick, Oregon, has a problem. After a group of horny teenagers trying to get laid in a cemetery accidentally let an ancient Chinese spirit of war and bean curd loose upon their homes, Gold Lick's small population (339) gets a little smaller every day. Thus, a local Bruce Campbell fan named Jeff decides to do the logical thing: recruit the man himself, presently shooting his latest film masterpiece, Cave Alien 2, to fight the demon off.

Sadly for him, Bruce is hardly the fearless action hero Jeff remembers from Evil Dead; he's a narcissistic, nervous wreck with a failing career and love life who spends his evenings drunk-dialing his ex-wife. Unaware of the danger at hand, believing instead that he's performing in a top secret movie project, Bruce meanders through Gold Lick, arming himself to the teeth in preparation for his confrontation with the demon Guan-Di. Little does he realize, of course, that shit is about to get way too real.

Just another ordinary day in the life of a hero.

My Name Is Bruce is a 2008 film. A sequel was announced in 2010, titled My Name is Still Bruce: Bruce vs. Frankenstein. Groovy. News about it is... sparse.
