counting down our picks for the top 10
Bruce Campbell performances I never knew
life could be so swell well once you’ve
made love to Bruce Campbell Wayne never
go back for this list we’re taking a
look at those performances that show off
this b-movie King at his finest and most
memorable I think it’s your cue Thank
You number 10
Smitty the hudsucker proxy once the
month wholly playing a 50s movie style
newspaperman quick with a quip or a
cigarette Bruce Campbell brings life to
an otherwise forgettable background
character in this Coen brothers
screwball comedy add noise lumbago that
gags got whiskers not playing the
sidekick to Jennifer Jason Leigh star
writer Smitty seems happy to have a job
and serves as a calming influence for
the most part to his hot-tempered
colleagues Amy’s hunches are usually
pretty good chief we just wish there was
more of Smitty to go around then smacker
such grab a hot ball number 9 at Eliquis
Hercules The Legendary Journeys and Xena
Warrior Princess
Matala kiss is my name the
self-proclaimed King of Thieves with a
heart of gold he became so popular that
despite decisions to no longer feature
him in Xena after the second season fans
demanded and were rewarded with attala
kisses returned
haha ah even the great Hercules there’s
no match for the king of thieves yeah
equally sarcastic and heroic it seemed
like the character was created just for
Bruce that’s alright I’ll get it back
after all I am the king of Thebes in
both hercules and xena bruce seems to be
capable of wearing any goofy getup or
uttering any strange line yes yes I’m
enraged fine if there was ever a moment
where I was more enraged I I haven’t
found it yet and yet he was still taken
seriously as a comedic character and
who’s your colorful friend I am
autologous the King of Thieves
number 8 the surgeon general of Beverly
Hills escaped from La Surgeon General
Beverly Hills when fans found out there
was gonna be a sequel to Escape from New
York
he began salivating for its release he’s
a no-good
you couldn’t give them away that was
until they actually saw the film with
its cheesy acting and goofy sequences
that did not live up to the original
but there was one scene that combined
the creepiness and over-the-top nature
of the first film and it also happens to
be bruce campbell at his scariest now
these two
very good here he plays a plastic
surgeon who uses the bodies of the
living against their will to provide his
patients and himself with a new
appearance beautiful shame Ellie has one
you would have been forgiven if you
didn’t realize who it was on first sight
number seven Bruce Campbell my name is
Bruce
first of all kid mr. Campbell makes soup
my name is Bruce Bruce Campbell’s
professional career since the 80s has
mostly been as an actor now if an
actor’s life is like a painting then
it’s a work in progress but how can I
create my great masterpiece if my paint
is drying up my canvas is cracked and
all my brushes are covered with a fake
monster blood what some people don’t
realize though is that for many years
he’s made a second career out of being
himself whether that entails writing
autobiographies or making appearances it
is clear that Bruce has made a lot of
money playing him keep it under a
million and a half get one name actor
and if you go straight to DVD you might
break even now mr. Campbell so it seemed
like a natural progression to combine
directing producing and playing himself
and that is what happened in this movie
who does she think she is
some little budget two-bit actor playing
a B movie star brought in by a small
town to rid it of a supernatural menace
Campbell seamlessly combines fear
disbelief false bravado and heroism in
this comedy horror I’ve gotten a lot of
use out of chance I was over the years
killed a lot of zombies saved a lot of
lives but at the end of the day when
push comes to shove they’re just too
damn heavy
number six the maitre d spider-man 3
what Wow the machete one reservation
first Campbell and director Sam Raimi
were childhood friends who remain close
to this day so when it came time for Ray
me to bring spider-man to life it made
sense for him to give his friend a new
spotlight in the series
after he played a wrestling ring
announcer in the first film and a snooty
usher in the second fans of the series
began to keep their eyes peeled for the
next cameo oh I’m sorry sir no one will
be seated after the doors are closed in
the third film Bruce’s comedic timing
made a scene that could have bombed for
many fans ah our day before to Becca
it’s just a shame he hasn’t been
featured in the new series of films take
good care of the ring oh we with my life
Monsieur superbear wait I like you
number five Mayer Shelbourne Cloudy with
a Chance of Meatballs as your mayor I
know it’s time to put our sardine
canning past behind us and look to the
future with a voice that’s smooth and
expressive it seems criminal that Bruce
has not been sought out for more
voiceover work I want to be big I want
people to look at me and say and that is
one big mayor playing a boastful and
arrogant mayor may not have been a huge
stretch for the actor but not being able
to rely on his pliable facial features
and physical comedy may have been a
pizza stuffed inside a turkey whole
thing deep-fried and dipped in chocolate
it’s me the mayor ultimately serving as
the computer animated comedies main
antagonist Bruce’s voice allowed him to
be amusing the entire time that we root
against him
subtle that is one big mayor number for
Brisco County jr. The Adventures of
Brisco County jr. and who are you
Brisco County is that where you’re from
no ma’am that’s Brian when a show runs
for one season in an unenviable Friday
night timeslot before being canceled it
is likely that it will fade away into
obscurity any final words
send your Brisco County jr. yeah I
didn’t do it this show however had one
major thing going for it the ravenous
fans of mr. Campbell good lord
Thank You Brisco
thanks comma and just for your
information all apples grow on trees so
instead the titular cocksure cowboy is
fondly remembered by devotees of the
sci-fi Western if this show hadn’t been
given one of the worst time slots of the
week I could be here all day who knows
how long it would have run and how many
more people would have discovered its
talented star hi come on dad number
three Elvis Presley Sebastian half Bubba
hotep but I prefer mr. Presley or Elvis
I keep telling you that I don’t go by
Sebastian half anymore okay with
characters like Elvis Presley who is now
living in a nursing home after faking
his death and his african-american
friend who believes he’s JFK President
Kennedy was a white man that’s how
clever they are they dyed me this color
all over both of whom end up fighting an
Egyptian mummy it’s not surprising this
comedy horror needs a special actor to
make it happen he my ass their nanny
mummy from Egypt
nice knowing you
Elvis luckily for us all the filmmakers
made the smart decision to cast Bruce an
actor who seems capable of making the
truly ludicrous work just what are you
getting at Elvis I think you know what
I’m getting at mr. president we’re gonna
kill us a mummy this film and its star
despite the ridiculous premise deserve
far more credit than they received on
its release big check on that baby
pulling off the comedy as well as the
physicality of a man of far greater
years than him mr. Campbell did the
nearly impossible and succeeded sign for
a CT I weigh number 2 Sam axe Burn
Notice I’m not exactly security
clearance material anymore yet again
bringing his skills to the small screen
Bruce’s co-starring role in this
long-running series certainly earned the
man a legion of new fans and helped
cement his already loyal following I’m
sorry Mike I don’t have to say bringing
his trademark humor and timing to the
espionage world there is little question
that the show would have paled in
comparison without him well I guess
that’s something to think about during
the long nights and ourselves a
character strong enough to warrant his
own TV movie spin-off it’s safe to say
that fans couldn’t get enough of this
former Navy SEAL thank you before we
reveal our top pick here are some
honorable mentions Charles did you
really find it chemically flawless blue
diamond de lluvia I’m Ivan I’m a doctor
a doctor what’s that I heal people how

faces in front of apparently there are
some terrorists with Capponi ‘m on the
top of mountain I love you too Jackie
number one
Ashley J ash Williams the Evil Dead
franchise you bastard
by torturing me like this why there is
no other role that could ever eclipse
this one for Bruce as it was playing ash
that gave him the chance to be a
professional actor swallow this this
reluctant horror hero has some of the
best one-liners in cinema history such
as see this this is my boomstick and
well hello mr. fancy pants among many
others yo she-bitch let’s go
