But for what it’s worth the film’s Italian, so blame them.īut look at it this way if they had spent more time and money on actors and script, that would be less time and money spent on blood and death scenes. Unless, in the eighties colleges put karate on the curriculum. It comes completely out of nowhere and makes no sense. Notwithstanding maybe the most offensive asian stereotype I’ve ever seen.
#Pieces 1982 puzzle movie#
Smith who apparently spent the entire movie with a lash in his eye base off his performance. Some of the acting is so bad that it’s incredibly fascinating, you can hardly take your eyes off of it like a car wreck or a dog dry humping a stuffed animal. (As I write this review in my “Frankie says relax” t-shirt) The acting in this film is epically cheesy from leads to bit players. Saying that, I grew on this stuff so this could be the nostalgia taking over. Excess for the sake of excess, which I find endearing. Why 10 gallons of blood, when you can have 20? Why stab some sex crazed teenage dipsh*t when you can disembowel him? Why show one tit when you can show two… well, I guess that’s kind of a package deal. You know there no such thing as too much. I’m absolutely certain he doesn’t think, “My god, this is redefining music as we know it.” He knows as Piguer does that this is the rare cases of style over substances is a good thing. When Rikki Rocket would put on his eyeliner in the mirror to look at the reflection of himself in hair curlers and lime green spandex. They both for the most part are ridiculous, but they are meant to be. I have a theory that parallels the fundamentals of the slashers films of the eighties to the hair metal band of the same era. In a genre rife with cinematic hits and misses, I think “Pieces” succeeds to height that very few do. Let me say first and foremost this was a personal pick of mine. This one opening scene is very symbolic of the movie. He begins to chop away at his mother’s skull like it’s firewood. By the way, what a household it has axes and nude puzzles. The boy enters the room and when his mother turns around he’s standing over her with an axe prone, in prime hacking position. The boy leaves the room for the moment as the mother starts to rummage through his things to find anything remotely crude. She is absolutely disgusted with her son, so she yell and berates him. Anyway, as the boy is putting the puzzle together his mother walks in the room. Exactly what is the target audience for such a product? The horny perv looking to add puzzle solving to his sexual gratification. As we get closer we find out that it’s a puzzle of a naked woman.( Note to self: search nude and jigsaw on Ebay). The movie starts out with a young boy in his room putting together a jigsaw puzzle.
