Corrected entry: The corticosteroid cream that Elvis uses is Vaseline; real corticosteroid cream is a dark bland white, much more runny, and not at all translucent like the cream shown in the movie.
Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Don Coscarelli
Starring: Bruce Campbell, Ossie Davis, Heidi Marnhout, Ella Joyce
Factual error: During the fight just before Elvis uses the alcohol, Bubba Ho-tep exclaims a series of Egyptian hieroglyphs which are translated as "By the unwinking eye of Ra." The symbol on the far right is not the Eye of Ra (which faces right) but the Eye of Thoth (an identical symbol which faces left). (01:18:10)
Elvis: Uh, Mr. President... You're on the floor.
JFK: No shit?
Question: When Elvis trades places with Sebastian Haff, his limo plate is AZN-700. Later when he is driving Haff's car, the plate is the same. Obviously two cars with different owners can't have the same plates, so it's probably a reference of some sort. Anyone know if that's the case, and if so, what?
Chosen answer: There's no significance I can find anywhere for the number "AZN-700" - it's just a fake plate they used twice due to the limited budget, and its repeated use is a mistake.
