Listen, I am here to tell you today that, and I don’t say this lightly, this is absolutely the greatest 80’s slasher of all time. I know that might be a bit of a bold horror statement to some, but you’ve got: B-movie power couple Christopher and Lynda Day George, exsquisite and abundant gore, awful dialogue, random kung fu interludes, chainsaw dismemberment, waterbed slashing, red herrings everywhere, aerobics dance numbers, a tennis pro turned cop turned undercover tennis pro, a shifty gardener, Edmond Purdom, and a cameo by an early 80’s Wendy’s drink cup and fry carton! WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED??I will never ever get tired of this trashterpiece and it is the perfect choice for the final movie of Joe Bob’s Last Drive-In.Bananameter: 🍌 “BASTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRDDD!!!!! 🍌side note: JBB’s explanation of the clones of Bruce Lee is also my new favorite thing.
"Bastard! BASTARD!!!!!!! BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!"Or if you watch the highly recommended Spanish version on the Grindhouse Releasing blu:"Bestia! BESTIA!!!!!! BESTIA!!!!!!!!!!!"Pieces is without question one of most enjoyable and unforgettable films I have ever seen. I was ready to write a huge long winded review professing my undying love for Pieces and director Juan Piquer Simón but there really isn't anything else I can add that others haven't said already, so I'll just comment with this:Juan Piquer Simón, I LOVE YOU.
