    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Elvis is the main character, but not one piece of Elvis Presley music plays in the film. Director Don Coscarelli explained that licensing even one Elvis song would have cost about half of the film's budget.
    • Goofs
      During the opening newsreel footage, the subtitles say that it is the discovery of the tomb of Amen Ho-Tep, but the voice over is explaining that it is the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb (the sarcophagus shown is also that of Tutankhamen).
    • Quotes
      • JFK: He had me on the floor and had his mouth over my asshole!
      • Elvis: A shit-eater?
      • JFK: I don't think so. He was after my soul. Now you can get that out of any major orifice of a person's body. I read about it.
      • Elvis: Oh, yeah? Where, man? "Hustler"?
    • Crazy credits
      At the very end of the DVD, after the movie credits have ended, "Elvis" says "Remember to be kind, rewind...well, um, guess you don't need to rewind, with DVD these days."
