Bruce Campbell Full Interview - @OpieRadio

[@twistedmetal04]

Most Underrated Actor imo. He is and will allways be, the King of the B Movie, but he has so much more talents. Hail to Mr. Campbell

[@XoXo475]

Ash vs evil dead is absolute GOLD. Watch it !

[@KennyLM3]

RIP that show ruled. The ending was gold too.

[@pab1381]

@@KennyLM3 I’m so pissed that was cancelled. That and Happy! are my favorite shows.

[@SeekTheMoon201]

How can u not love this guy

[@TheRoguesy2]

I can't understand how Army of Darkness failed, it was such a fucking amazing movie.

[@FinalGuyKris]

Not as food as ED 1 and ED2...toneally

[@squamish4244]

It was huge on home video. Everyone I knew in high school saw it. It's probably the most popular of the Evil Dead movies. If it had been a hit, Bruce probably would have become an A-lister. Sam tried to cast him in a few of his big films, but the studio refused. But he also talks a lot about the downsides of being an A-lister, and how being on the B-list is a lot less stressful.

[@Will21st]

@@squamish4244 honestly I think Bruce made the choice to be the king of his realm. What good are the megabucks if you have to become a phony to do it. bruce is not the ass kissing type, that's for sure. He did good but yes could have been an A lister no problem. he certainly has the chops and charisma to do so if he wanted to.

[@squamish4244]

@@Will21st Yes, I think so too. The huge productions, many takes, hurry up and wait, the endless press tours - blech. I forget if it's in this interview where he says he actually feels sorry for RDJ. "Why would you feel sorry for him, Bruce? He's making $40 million a movie." "Because he's going to be stuck in that goddamn suit in a blue room for the next 15 years." And he was stuck in it for 11 years. And how less stressful television is. No time for endless takes, you keep things moving, so you've defeated the bad guys, kissed the girl and ridden off into the sunset all before lunch. And Bruce has had a CAREER. Evil Dead, Xena and Hercules - and he directed the last episode of Hercules - B-list movies galore, Ash vs. Evil Dead, an incredible Ronald Reagan impression in Fargo - the man has done a lot. Sorry if I'm repeating what you just saw, I just don't remember most of this interview.

[@Will21st]

@@squamish4244 his net worth is what, $10 million? He owns a farm in Oregon? He smokes weed there all day. Honestly I’ll take the Chin’s life any day over some fake ass a-lister with a thousand hanger ons bleeding you dry and kissing your ass.

[@sqwashsilver]

Bruce is such an awesome dude.

[@IblewuponyourfaceIII]

Bruce Campbell is hilarious haha

[@bighuge1060]

A little anecdote from years gone by: My brother, sister and I went to the theater to watch Army of Darkness, fully trained by Evil Dead 2 on what to expect in humor. Unfortunately, it seemed like no one else in the theater was. We were the only full out laughing at every wise crack, three Stooge-ism and broad sight gag and maybe because it did feel awkward, it remains one of my fondest film going memories.

[@TheRoguesy2]

Bruce is the fucking BEST! I've loved him for 25 years since army of darkness. He's so great, just a straight shooting dude. There's no bullshit with him.

[@ironmanjakarta8601]

I had no idea Bruce could do so many voices. Those were Spot on impressions of Arnold and Larry Fine. I used to think someone else did the voice of Evil Ash in AoD but now I know it def was Bruce.

[@chelsearobichaud3717]

18:39 Wow Army of darkness was my most favorite one didn't know what happened until now because I always wondered why they didn't make a new one but I have seen so much Evil dead stuff around here now at the HMV store it making a big come back. I really hope they make a movie in a couple of years.

[@squamish4244]

Your wish was granted :)

[@RedThebigOne]

Only 7,000 views,WTF? I was grinning ear to ear? The weed shit was funny shit. I hope you live a long, long live Bruce Campbell!

[@justj2440]

Wtf is with the black guy acting like white pple aren't poor to. He brought it down

[@simmonslucas]

sounds like his childhood was totally fine...

[@DANNYTHEQUAD]

So fuckin' good.

[@BSAArklay]

Always hilarious. Stay classy Bruce.

[@MsDboyy]

This was one groovy interview

[@squamish4244]

Lots of very funny people had healthy childhoods. I would even argue that crappy childhoods make people bitter and jaded a lot more than they make them funny, or it gives their humour a mean streak. Bruce's childhood was just fine, his parents supported his ambitions and were the first people to invest in The Evil Dead, and he's hilarious.

[@opieradio]

very good point. He's so awesome btw

[@FezTheMoose]

Funny hearing that dude talk about his “bad” childhood. 2 to a room, calm down there bud. Also white poverty? From where I’m concerned poverty is poverty, white or black.

[@joedale1696]

Geez, what a miserable childhood... if he grew up the way i had to or some of the friends i had at school did, he would've most likely hung himself.

[@doombot9916]

he is a great interview. He should consider doing his own podcast.

[@squamish4244]

He has one now.

[@hughjanus3798]

I saw the first Evil Dead in the movies at Times Square, somewhere. Awesome!

[@Vinstinctify1]

man the black guy kinda messed up, huh?

[@BronxBarbarian]

love these videos , what type of cameras do you guys use?

[@MasterChris666]

Love Bruce

[@kellybrincks]

why doesn't Florentine have any screen time?

[@piruz87]

love this guy

[@pwehrly85]

Love Bruce!

[@ericmcclain1869]

He's talking about talking to Larry Fine. Larry Fine died in 1975 4 years before they even shot the first Evil Dead. How did he talk to Larry Fine?

[@c.t.h.6010]

He and Sam Raimi were and still are huge Three Stooges fans. Apparently when he was young they called up Larry Fine and spoke with him on the phone at what he referred to as the "old actors home." There is an NPR interview where he mentions it.

[@MistaMaxG]

Thats easy they used the Necronomicon to talk to Larry Fine

[@jpollackauthor]

Bruce never explicitly said it happened in the 80s; he mentioned Scott Spiegel and his love for the Three Stooges before going into the story - Spiegel had been making short Super 8 films with Bruce and Sam Raimi since 1972, so the phone call story he's referring to most likely happened between then and 1975, when they were teenagers.

[@raymondsicoli7249]

Stangel looks creepy just standing in the back

[@Emulous79]

Damned funny and candid :)

[@12345678967090]

Hahaha Awesome 😘

[@joaodapinhanhara]

is it just me or the guy in the main desk keeps imitating howard stern's 'wow' all the time?

[@rustcohle3803]

my middle sister had a modeling phase that didn't work out lol had her own fucking room, tv, and cell phone. as the youngest, all had I had were outdated clothing, my dad's leftover games, and cheap toys. the oldest had her own car, but still gets beat for not doing school well n barely home. at the end of the day, bruce Campbell's baboon analogy makes sense. middle child is the balance fyi

[@Nethescurial95]

Larry Fine died in 1975, how could they have spoken to him in the 80s?

[@jpollackauthor]

Bruce never explicitly said it happened in the 80s; he mentioned Scott Spiegel and his love for the Three Stooges before going into the story - Spiegel had been making short Super 8 films with Bruce and Sam Raimi since 1972, so the phone call story he's referring to most likely happened between then and 1975, when they were teenagers.

[@nenabunena]

These guys' idea of a bad childhood is ridiculous, way too over privileged. 2 kids sharing a room is what they consider had childhoods?

[@jpollackauthor]

Opie's from Centerport, Long Island - a lot of people out there consider a home without individual bedrooms for each child "lower-class". Lots of old money and the mindset that comes with it out in Suffolk County.

[@kellybrincks]

Bruce is God

[@joltTubeify]

I fucking loved Army of Darkness !! Evil dead sucked in comparison!

[@ericmcclain1869]

+Joel Lindqvist Army of Darkness was the worst one out of the 3. It's still fucking great, in my opinion, but Evil Dead 2 was the best one.

[@JiminysCricket]

Can't stand Jim Florentine. I love how tools like him build their entire bullshit persona off exaggerating their prowess with the tattered remains of twos, threes & the occasional four.
