Eight Heads out of 8...
Added 9/3/2009
I'm typically biased when reviewing products like this one. I always love movies from my childhood or from my highschool years no matter how cheesey or lame. This one however has some clever comedy, and alot of one-liners that are pretty hilarious. Joe Pesci takes a different role being a member of a crime organization, and delivering a duffel bag full of heads to a crime boss. Bags get mixed up on the flight to their destination, and all heck breaks loose as the original bag is tracked down by Joe Pesci's character. David Spade plays a very comical role in this film, as well as Kristy Swanson and a few less known actors. The movie keeps you in tune and always wondering if they'll get caught, or even live after crossing paths with this evil mob who own the heads. Alltogether, the movie is very funny, and sure to be a great add to your movie collection.
I love this movie, if you're not sure about buying the movie, I would suggest renting it first or reading a few more reviews.

A head of its time
Added 7/5/2009
Joe Pesci is a courier carrying 8 heads of crooks to prove that they were dispatched. The Duffel bag that he is carrying is inadvertently exchanged with a bag belonging to a collage student on that is on the way to Mexico. Both parties recognize the mistake, which has hilarious reactionary circumstances.
Some people are good at words. Other people are good at facial expressions. But Dyan Cannon takes the cake when it comes to being hysterical (in more ways than one.) The first time I saw her, this was way, was in "Heaven Can Wait" (1978), where she saw a mouse and relives it. Now she is a recovering alcoholic and tries to convince her husband that see saw a head in a duff bag.
George Hamilton gets to play cool and conservative like the part he played in Doc Hollywood (1991). However one of the highlights of the movie is when he is confronted by the Mexican authorities. Have you seen those Garfield cats that stick in car windows?
There are also lessons on recycling and laundering.
You need to head out and buy this film. After all 8 heads are better than...

Not so Dark
Added 5/9/2006
Joe Pesci is a bag man for a mob family. His current contract is to deliver a bag containing the heads of eight rivals. This should be a simple delivery but circumstances force a bag switch. Now Pesci has a bag of clothes while a pre-med student has the heads. To make matters worse, the student has just driven into Mexico with his girlfriend's family. Only one small clue can help Pesci track down his cargo before a contract is taken out on himself.
What follows are typically improbable comedy situations that have the heads moving around and being seen by unreliable witnesses while more and more people get involved in trying to straighten out the mess. This gives various characters a chance to develop and show their true mettle. Things begin to get really out of hand but it is successfully tied up at the end with the viewer feeling pretty good about how it all worked out.
I expected this to be a darker comedy with plenty of black humor but it really wasn't. Considering the plot device this was a surprisingly happy and upbeat film. Pesci is very good as the bag man but his role is a support role as best (I guess I had also been expecting to see more of him). But although things were not quite as I had thought they would be it was still a very good movie experience. Check it out.
