8 Heads in a Duffel Bag
“8 Heads in a Duffel Bag’s roots are in screwball comedy…Joe Pesci is the best thing in the movie; he’s funny every moment he’s on the screen.”
– Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
“A gem…gonzo…a testament to how entertaining it is to watch Pesci get royally pissed.”
– R. Kurt Osenlund, Slant Magazine
8 Heads in a Duffel Bag (1977) is a dark comedy from writer-director Tom Schulman (Dead Poets Society), starring the singular Joe Pesci as a gangster hired to deliver a bag crammed with severed heads to a crime boss who wants proof of their former owners’ demise. On a commercial flight, the head-stuffed bag gets switched with one belonging to a young man (Andy Comeau) on his way to visit his girlfriend (Kristy Swanson) and her parents (George Hamilton, Dyan Cannon); hijinks ensue.

Joe Pesci is at his funniest in this movie! Although Joe Pesci did not win an academy award for this role I consider this his best right next to Casino. This movie is classic David Spade right around his departure from SNL with a very lose plot this still makes for a very funny comedy with left hook jokes on every corner. I decided to buy this on dvd as I dont think this case is in production anymore and I have no intention to get this on blu-ray. MGM decided to use 3 seals on the case I though that was a bit excessive but it did come…
