Not only was that kung fu attack out of nowhere, but it was also mildly racist (probably on purpose as some kind of low quality satire). Bad chop suey!?? Haha!!!<br /><br />The tri-"Bastard" is suddenly one of my new favorite things.<br /><br />Let's not forget the spectacular kid-on-mom ax murder at the beginning. That's "stand up and cheer" shit, right there. Also, the waterbed murder (as well as the quote about sinning on a waterbed) was awesome. I was a kid when waterbeds were all the rage. All the cool kids had them (I didn't) at the time. Does anyone sleep on a waterbed anymore? What happened?Miskatonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10458189434988263478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-25528750020394602732010-04-23T21:21:51.172-07:002010-04-23T21:21:51.172-07:00i loved this movie. i just searched this fucking s...i loved this movie. i just searched this fucking site for 4 hours just to find this one movie to leave this comment. <3Miss Kolleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606373833828939892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-64563870292130172022009-10-23T18:28:21.609-07:002009-10-23T18:28:21.609-07:00Honestly, my favorite film.

Did you have to pay for the print? Or did you just suggest it and they acquiesced? What's the deal with Phil Blankenship and the New Bev grindhouse. So many questions about that place and no one to ask...Chrishttp://cjdphoto.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-41566801585571912212009-02-05T22:19:00.000-08:002009-02-05T22:19:00.000-08:00this movie kicced ass wish it had a soundtracc yel...this movie kicced ass wish it had a soundtracc yell<BR/><BR/>www.myspace.com/panhandoelrcorpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-52616462243472361302008-04-12T14:36:00.000-07:002008-04-12T14:36:00.000-07:00Ah, see, you gotta know where to sit.

And I'm the biggest baby when it comes to seating, so if they're OK to me they should be fine for all. Those ones in the back though... christ. I'd rather stand.BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480847497966171794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-68897634820471091302008-04-12T12:13:00.000-07:002008-04-12T12:13:00.000-07:00yes! I saw this at the New Bev. We went to see Cad...yes! I saw this at the New Bev. We went to see Caddyshack and Bachelor Party but I had to convince my friends to stay to for a minute of the next movie (the seats in that place will cripple you). Once it started, we couldnt leave. And the last scene made me howl.

And hey, isn't there a pool scene in this that is a direct "homage" of the pool scene in the original <I>Cat People</I>?

In the Pieces scene, I love the casual, "oh, it's my Kung-Fu professor!" ( huh!? ). As if to say, "Jeez, what's all the fuss about someone jumping out and trying to violently attack you in the middle of the night, dumbass?" <BR/><BR/><BR/>I've seen Pieces with a horror marathon crowd and this scene, (as well as "BASTARD!") gets the biggest reaction. You're in for a treat. How can a crowd not get pumped by a poster with one of the best (and oddly enthusiastic) horror movie taglines ever? - Pieces: "It's Exactly What You Think It Is!"<BR/><BR/>Your multi-pack version can't be that much worse than my cheapo, Diamond Entertainment copy (... darkest transfer since Mountaintop Motel Massacre...) which is lazily split into Diamonds' requisite 4 chapter maximum. I guess that's what you get for $5.<BR/><BR/>..it also might be of interest to some that this movie stars trash/horror icon Christopher George (along with his wife), who also appears in cultural milestones like Graduation Day, Mortuary, and Fulci's City Of The Living Dead (aka Gates Of Hell)...<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work, bud!
