8 Heads in a Duffel Bag

8 Heads in a Duffel Bag is a great example of a perfect situation comedy film. The events and(especially)the reaction to those events is comedy at its best. The directing conveys the humorous, yet dangerous tone of the film in a very superb way. The writing tells a story full of insane circumstances happening to normal, everyday people. The acting of the film, most notably that of Joe Pesci and David Spade, is such a huge part of the comedy that the film definitely couldn't have had otherwise. All in all, perfect writing, perfect acting. Watch and laugh. Travis.

8 Heads in a Duffel Bag

The movie is a slapstick comedy regarding changes of luggage bags at airport. To be honest I really enjoyed this no brainer comedy movie. The start of the movie was excellent but looses plot as soon as it progresses. George Hamilton could've been utilised more. To be honest this is a good and entertaining movie

I'm surprised Joe Pesci signed on to make this film. The acting in this film is really bad from the other actors. The only other actor who did decent was David Spade. The film had some funny scenes, but nothing to make this qualify as a good film.

This movie is such an under rated gem. Great writing and great cast. From one of the producers of Dumb and Dumber, it totally works as a comedy. Very fun. It's a little over the top, but very funny. Great for a Friday or Saturday night with the guys. I just found my favorite movie!

Forget about those silly low ratings. This is one of Joe Pesci's best movies. He sure can play a terrific hit man is all I got to say! The story from start till finish doesn't have any second with boredom in it.. every part and every minute is as interesting as the second coming! The whole Mexican vacation setting is very lovely, and the comedy in it (especially the two dorky roommates) was hilarious. It's hard to find a good comedy to laugh on these days, with all the rubbish being produced nowadays. This ladies and gentlemen is a comedy classic, and I can surely vouch for any comedy lover to watch it .. at least once!

Well, I have to admit the title of this film caught my eye, enough for me to check out the VHS back in the late '90s. I also was encouraged by the beginning of this film. It starts off very promising with a funny premise and some really good humor. But - wow - does terrible acting start to take over by the two leads, Andy Comeau and Kristy Swanson! No wonder these two never made it as film stars. The overacted so badly, it was embarrassing to watch. George Hamilton did a poor job, sounding very wooden. Only Joe Pesci and Dyan Cannon gave any kind of acting performances in this dark comedy. Often, I love black comedies but this movie was just so poorly executed, so convoluted and overly mean-spirited, it was a waste of time. You want to just take a bath after watching (and listening to over 20 abuses of the Lord's name in vain) this and hope you forget the 90 minutes you just totally wasted. As mentioned, the best thing about the movie is the title.

"8 Heads in a Duffel Bag" is a lame comedy built around a duffel bag which contains 8 human heads and all the nonsensical things which can happen to 8 heads. Except for Pesci, the film has a bunch of second rate acting talent involved in a silly make-it-up-as-you-go story about a gangster who's transporting the duffel bag and, of course, gets it mixed up with a similar duffel bag in airport baggage claim (how original) and....blaa, blaa. Bottom line; this no brainer offers marginal entertainment for the hard up couch potato and little else.
