The killer entering an elevator with one of his victims while trying to conceal a chainsaw behind his back is perhaps the most notorious, but there are plenty of others вЂ“ an insane, out-of-nowhere moment wherein Mary is attacked by a kung fu professor (played by Brucesploitation veteran Bruce Le) who promptly apologies and goes on his way the head-scratchingly stupid ending or the marvellous moment when an overwrought Mary, having failed to prevent a killing exclaims вЂњwhile we out here fumbling with that musicвЂ¦ the lousy bastard was in there killing her!вЂќ before letting fly with an ear-piercing shriek of вЂњbastard! BASTARD!! BASTAAAARD!!!вЂќДid Shadow and SimГіn really mean for us to be laughing at all this or were they being deadly serious and just ended up making a dreadful film? SimГіnвЂs track record proves that wasnвЂ™t the greatest of film-makers вЂ“ this was, after all, the man who had already given us Supersonic Man (1979) and Misterio en la isla de los monstruos/Mystery on Monster Island (1981) and was on his way to Los nuevos extraterrestres/Visitor (1983), Slugs, muerte viscosa/Slugs (1988), The Rift (1990) and La mansiГіn de los Cthulhu/Cthulhu Mansion (1992) so he clearly wasnвЂ™t the most proficient of directors.

Solid gold comedy moments like this abound throughout the film. It sets out its stall early with a scene straight from a silent comedy in which a skateboarder runs into a large sheet of glass being conveniently carried out of an alleyway by a pair of delivery men. The plot is largely a by-the-numbers slasher then but what has given Pieces its lasting cult appeal are some of the most ridiculous moments ever to disgrace a slasher film. More young women are killed before the police finally realise that the dean is the killer, Timmy now all grown up and trying to piece together a composite woman from pilfered body parts like the jigsaw puzzle that heвЂ™s still obsessed with. Smith) is too obvious a suspect to be taken seriously, but student Kendall ( Ian Sera) proves useful in their investigations. They persuade the dean (Edmund Purdom) to allow them to send a policewoman, Mary Riggs ( Linda Day George) undercover into the school to root out the killer. Lieutenant Bracken ( Christopher George) and Sergeant Holden ( Franck BraГ±a) are on the case but theyвЂ™re not the brightest of flatfoots вЂ“ вЂњthe killer is someone who is either on or near the campusвЂќ announces Bracken in a display of deductive reasoning that would put Sherlock Holmes to shame.

Forty years later, a series of murders plagues a university in Boston where students are being attacked by a black-clad killer wielding a chainsaw. In 1942, 10-year-old Timmy (Alejandro HernГЎndez) is chastised by his mother ( May Heatherly) for playing with a jigsaw puzzle of a nude woman and he reacts by murdering her with an axe, dismembering her body with a hacksaw and hiding in a closet so that when the police turn up, they believe that he was a witness to the crime and not the perpetrator. Not youвЂ™ll worry too much as youвЂ™ll have other things on your mind, chief among which is the question вЂњwas it actually meant to be this funny?вЂќ This hilarious slasher from SpainвЂ™s Juan Piquer SimГіn boasted British and American co-producers (Dick Randall and Steve Minasian) which muddies the waters of the filmвЂ™s parentage rather but claims that it was partly funded from Puerto Rico and that screenwriter John Shadow was another pseudonym for Joe DвЂ™Amato are both wrong. !!SPOILER WARNING: THIS REVIEW GIVES AWAY THE ENDING!!
