The article seems to give off the impression that in the film, Campbell's character really is Elvis Presley, but that the identity that Davis' character claims is questionable. In the audio commentary between Campbell and the director, it is implied that it could go either way with both characters, that both of them could really be who they claim to be, or both could just be a couple of crazy old men, that it really all depends on an individual's interpretation of the film. And I agree with that. To imply that one story is true and one is false, or that both stories are true or both stories are false may border on POV. ( Sugar Bear 03:09, 10 June 2007 (UTC))
The only thing that I do not recall about this movie is the 20-year coma - it seemed to me that Elvis was in the nursing home just because he had grown old, not as part of any coma-care initiative. I recall him discussing life in the home, and friends he has had and seen pass on. I'll rewatch the movie to provide a further update, but if someone has seen it lately they could comment.

This article begins with "Bubba Ho-tep is the title of a novella by Joe R. Lansdale" but then goes on to almost exclusively discuss the movie. Seems to me there should be much more info about the written work or - even better - a separate article about both movie and novella. Being only familiar with the film, I'm not the one to do this, but if no one else does it soon I will at least edit this article's opening to make it more consistent with the rest.-- ChasFink ( talk) 14:20, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
