4.0 out of 5 stars A Zany Underrated Comedy, February 23, 2002
This movie received a lot of grief for its total uninhibited irreverence. But if its irreverence doesn't offend you, you can find it a quite pleasing little comic gem. It's about all the misadventures of an American student visiting Mexico when his duffel bag accidently gets switched with another that was sent to verify a mob hit. Confusion and intrigue reign supreme as both parties desperately scramble to undo the mix-up. If you like this kind of comedy watch and enjoy. But if you find it cruelly offensive, don't say I didn't warn you!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not so Dark, May 8, 2006
By 
Joshua Koppel (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag (DVD)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant and quite funny, February 24, 2005
By 
DSG "DSG" (Franklin, Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag (DVD)
Joe Pesci is hilarious in this movie
the movie has such sick humor that it's funny (only in the movies though)

the cast is picked out quite well
the idea of the story is quite creepy and amusing
the situation with having the heads and trying to give them back is hilarious
just an all out hilarious movie
glad I got this on dvd
it's worth the watch over and over and over and over again for years to come
