The quaint little town of Gold Lick, Oregon, [[Town
▲{{quote| ''Mr. Campbell makes soup. [[Title Drop|My name is Bruce.]]''}}
▲The quaint little town of Gold Lick, Oregon, [[Town With a Dark Secret|has a problem.]] After a group of horny teenagers trying to get laid in a cemetery accidentally let an ancient Chinese spirit of war [[Odd Job Gods|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 [[Bruce Campbell|the man himself,]] presently shooting his latest film masterpiece, ''[[There's No B in Movie|Cave Alien 2]]'', to fight the demon off.
Sadly for him, [[Nice Character, Mean Actor|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 [[Hilarity Ensues|shit is about to get way too real.]]

Just another ordinary day in the life of a hero.

* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: "You know Jeff, I've gotten a lot of use out of [[Chainsaw Good|chainsaws]] over the years. Killed a lot a zombies, saved a lot of lives, but at the end of the day when push comes to shove... they're just too damn heavy."
* [[Genre Savvy]] - Jeff, except his choice of heroes turns out not to translate well into real life. Bruce later plays the trope straight when he finally snaps into hero mode.

* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: [[Invoked Trope|Invoked by name]] by Bruce after Jeff mentions Bruce's agent, Miles.

* [[Shout
** Several of Bruce's movies get mentioned frequently. Mostly [[Bubba
** The brand name of the liquor that Bruce drinks is "Shemp." The [[Sam Raimi]] films in which Bruce stars coined the term [[Fake Shemp]].

* [[Stock Scream]]: The famous "Wilhelm Scream" was used when Bruce accidentally shot a little kid's father.
* [[There's No B in Movie]] - All of Bruce's films.
