If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor

Product Information

When Sam gets upset, he lets you know it, and he’ll torture you for days afterward because he’s one of those guys who never forgets. This Bio is something unlike anything else ever written because it seems that Bruce is just a common man whos done common things in a uncommon way. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. Even longtime friend and collaborator Sam Raimi wouldn’t give him a guest star role on his mid-‘90s TV series American Gothic until Campbell convinced the future Spider-Man filmmaker he wouldn’t just smirk his way through the episode like an asshole.

Campbell was the star of a 2011 Burn Notice made-for-television prequel focusing on Sam's Navy SEAL career, titled Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe. As a kid exploring the woods between these upper-middle-class homes, the city might as well have been a million miles away.I am a big fan of Bruce’s movies and it was cool to hear him talk about some behind the scenes stuff and how him and some of his friends, like Sam Raimi, got started.

A week later, shooting a night scene at the same bridge location, Sam had a little run-in with a tree branch. WARP IT REAL GOOD: Fifteen years ago, when Bruce Campbell published his first autobiography, “If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor,” expectations were modest. It's always fascinating to peek behind the curtain of filmmaking especially if it's presented in such an honest light like it is here.

We obeyed, but soon thereafter, Mike built a doghouse, supposedly for our basset hound, but it was ultimately just a front for a hidden tunnel entrance and we started the process all over again. His territory of inspection was everything east of the Rockies, and Charlie could, in the days predating cell phones and fax machines, get anywhere via Chicago—where he knew a cute girl. And, after you finish the first memoir, move on to Campbell’s subsequent books — How To Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way, Hail to the Chin, and The Cool Side of My Pillow. He has also featured in many low-budget cult movies such as Crimewave (1985), Maniac Cop (1988), Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat (1989), and Bubba Ho-Tep (2002).
