I got the deluxe DVD version of this film which came complete with a reproduction of the nude woman jigsaw puzzle seen in this movie. Got it mounted and framed in my living room (which I refer to as my 'dying room' as it houses my extensive horror collection! LOL) Another top review. I think this film is criminally underrated.
Well, this flick certainly has an awesome CONCEPT at least. A killer assembling a HUMAN JIGSAW PUZZLE? Very original and imaginative, yet creepy and sick! Oh, and THIS flick has some pretty strong SHOCKS too (if your into that), with surprisingly not-poor effects work.
This is, verbatim, how I pitched this movie to a group of friends, and subsequently every other group of friends every time I want to show this to movie to people.
Actually the ending makes sense, throughout the whole film the main guy is a dick magnet, all the girls want him. So even the dead body wanted a "piece" of him.
Eli Roth has an encyclopedic knowledge of horror films, and has awesome, on point, taste when it comes to these films. It's just a pity that he cannot apply that to making an actual good movie.
The Kung Fu professor scene and Eli Roth praise of the film explains the pancakes Kung Fu scene in cabin fever. Thanks 4 finally answering that question cinema snob.
I've been watching for years but this one must have slipped through because I haven't seen this one. It's always great to see a "new" episode of some Classic Snob.
I take back what I said before about a cross-over: Jay Bauman from Red Letter Media and the Cinema Snob must never meet. They'd collapse the B-movie reality in on itself.

2:08 The girl/actress who hits the glass actually posted on Blu-ray.com about a missing scene (or one they didn’t have time/money to shoot) She mentions that she is also the girl who gets killed in the park immediately after. There was supposed to be a scene where the killer (whose face you do not see) sees the mirror shattering, showing the girl’s face in all of the _pieces._ This triggers him into starting his quest to construct the perfect woman out of all of the women who remind him of his mother. That’s why there’s a flashback... it’s supposed to be from the killer’s POV. 5:14 “You ain’t got the authority to declare _happy birthday!”_ 15:12 funny you should bring that up, as I believe it could have been a heavy influence on Stuart Gordon (RIP) and RE-ANIMATOR Speaking of which, would you ever “snob” IF..., O LUCKY MAN and BRITANNIA HOSPITAL? Those are so _weird ass movies!_
The best part of waking up is...the Snob..in your cup. Yeah I should have thought that one through, but you know where I was going with that. Ohhhhh Boyyyy!!!!
I noticed when the corpse falls out of the closet it's grey in color as if it's dying. Yet the hand that shoots up and rips the guy's balls off is peach/white colored, otherwise living pigment. How in the world could it have revived from being grey and dying after so long to being well alive for that jumpscare at the end? They could have at least coated the arm and hand in the grey coloring they did to make it look like a corpse for the final scare. I still love this review tho, it's one of my favorites! :D The thought of him going on a murder rampage to piece together a woman that I guess was supposed to be like the one in the porn puzzle he was putting together was triggered all cause his mom wanted to take all his porn away as a kid and for him to murder her for that is so funny and seems to make sense! Like, he most have enjoyed it a lot to become a crazy killer for porn!
Well put but have you ever heard the true story, of serial killer Edmund Kemper? Check it out and let me know if you think the mother portion could be the inspiration for this killer, could have been inspired by Kempers Obsession, just reversed. Where he saves her for last. Cheers from Canada
I don't know of a place where I can buy pornographic 500 piece puzzles, and I don't know a little kid who can assemble a pornographic 500 piece puzzle and I'm glad. No one at all should be shocked that mama dearest took an axe to the face... That's science.
Oh Shit! I think Marty's the killer!! Oh wait, i got this confused with another horror movie where i can correctly predict the killer. Sorry about that but it's nice to have this classic episode back. ^^
shit man 5 years ago? This takes me back lol wow how much changes so fast. Fu ck man. Well hey thanks for reminding me of an old ass comment and taking me back :) chop suey still trash tho
Pieces is one of the best slasher movies ever. And Eli Roth knowes what he is talking about when it comes to horror films and makes good ones himself expect Green Inferno which was a big let down
Wasn’t there an intro to this one where Brad talked about this out of character about how this is one of his favorite movies or was the the other Juan Piquer Simon film, Pod People?
I have thankfully never had my arm sliced off with a chainsaw. But if I did, something tells me my other arm wouldn't remain held up at the exact same angle it was beforehand. That takes muscle strength and concentration I doubt I'd have when I'm completely terrified and in agony. Otherwise though, the movie was pretty well done.
2:00 very surprised there's not an NES Back to the Future reference there. 2:20 then I notice you make a Back to the Future reference 2:30 I realize I can make anything into a Back to the Future reference 2:40 I drop a like and go watch Back to the Future. I'll be back
Well, this flick certainly has an awesome CONCEPT at least. A killer assembling a HUMAN JIGSAW PUZZLE? Very original and imaginative, yet creepy and sick! Oh, and THIS flick has some pretty strong SHOCKS too (if your into that), with surprisingly not-poor effects work.
May had a subdued version of the ending, and May is a great movie. May didn't justify it either. May is that rarest of things, a slasher film that Ebert liked. It may be the only one he liked that wasn't directed by Wes Craven or John Carpenter.
"It could either be Jeffery Jones, John Rhys Davies, Elijah Wood, Markie Post, OR THE KILLER!" LOL
Also, Jeffery Jones has A thing for little boys.
"Pieces" holds a special place in my heart, as it was the first horror movie I saw
Man , that very first bit of the intro reminded me of how much I miss the old intro song.
Same. I didn't even know the Snob back then.
The latest theme's lyrics sound like "blah blah cinema's mop".
it's just a sample for the TV show 'greatest american hero'?
@@tomservo5007 I know, but it's still sad he can't use it
@01101101 01100101 01101001 wait, someone who doesn't like the old opening? That's like a shiny pokémon.
A skateboarder running into two guys hauling a mirror across the street? This is clearly taken from the "Back To The Future" NES game!

That's awesome! How much does that version go for? I've never come across it before.
Cheers.
Let us adjourn to the DYING ROOM!!! *Cryptkeeper laugh*

The ending grabs you by the balls, literally!
William Lowery Utterly scarred me for life; SCREW THIS MOVIE!
This is, verbatim, how I pitched this movie to a group of friends, and subsequently every other group of friends every time I want to show this to movie to people.
Actually the ending makes sense, throughout the whole film the main guy is a dick magnet, all the girls want him. So even the dead body wanted a "piece" of him.
Very true.
Eli Roth has an encyclopedic knowledge of horror films, and has awesome, on point, taste when it comes to these films. It's just a pity that he cannot apply that to making an actual good movie.
that is true yes. oooh, faced!
@@michaelwautraets7126 Hahahaha oooh faced! That will haunt him for the rest of his life.
This is one of the most accurate comments I've read about it.
Um Cabin Fever, Hostel......
@@awencuhathain8745 Exactly, if he loves horror films so much, why are his shitty like Cabin Fever and Hostel.
I have decided that THIS is the best Snob episode ever put to film. Good lord 😂
Sweet, this one's back up! The return of the infamous Brucesploitation cameo!
The Lupa cameo at 10:50 almost made me fall over 🤣.
And the guy who sang 'Idiot Control now'
Burning rubber tires indeed!
paul L. smith really made the rounds in his career; pieces, Popeye, midnight express. talk about varied genres.
Wait! That really was Blutto? I thought it was a joke!
As l recall,he was also in “Red Sonja”.
I think he was Rabban in 1984 Dune also.
Never get tired of the look on your face when you say "Kendell has a kung-fu professor?!"
The Kung Fu professor scene and Eli Roth praise of the film explains the pancakes Kung Fu scene in cabin fever. Thanks 4 finally answering that question cinema snob.
I guess that Kendall became the Ken-doll.
Good one.
I've been watching for years but this one must have slipped through because I haven't seen this one. It's always great to see a "new" episode of some Classic Snob.
I miss Kung Tai Ted, I wish he'd come back
I take back what I said before about a cross-over: Jay Bauman from Red Letter Media and the Cinema Snob must never meet. They'd collapse the B-movie reality in on itself.

That’s why there’s a flashback... it’s supposed to be from the killer’s POV.
5:14 “You ain’t got the authority to declare _happy birthday!”_
15:12 funny you should bring that up, as I believe it could have been a heavy influence on Stuart Gordon (RIP) and RE-ANIMATOR
Speaking of which, would you ever “snob” IF..., O LUCKY MAN and BRITANNIA HOSPITAL? Those are so _weird ass movies!_
Love this film and also once of the best snob reviews to this day
I keep expecting the groundskeeper to shout "BILLY MAYS HERE!"
yess! this has always been one of my favorites
episodes
The best part of waking up is...the Snob..in your cup. Yeah I should have thought that one through, but you know where I was going with that. Ohhhhh Boyyyy!!!!
I love this one. Miss the intro though where you give kudos to the pieces director
ITS a very Geil Slasher of The 80's and good Soundtrack !!! 🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨👀🤘😃👍 Greetings from Hamburg Germany
Good Old Cinema Snob! Only exploitation movies and obscure eurotrash from the past. Thanks for share this again, Brad.
Fuck, this is one of my favorite reviews from you. It’s been a while since I’ve been bummed looking for it again!
10:07 Miss the random skits Brad used to throw in the reviews.
That’s a flashback! I saw that scene from Grizzly on TBS when I was like 13.
I like the concept of Familie Friendly Slashers. It sounds so wrong.
Family friendly? Like the Stepfather?
@@germanvisitor2 100% like the Stepfather.
Saturday The 14th is probably most PG-rated slasher he's ever reviewed.
I noticed when the corpse falls out of the closet it's grey in color as if it's dying. Yet the hand that shoots up and rips the guy's balls off is peach/white colored, otherwise living pigment. How in the world could it have revived from being grey and dying after so long to being well alive for that jumpscare at the end?

@@Pocketrocket-pj1us Read up on him! Yeah I can say he probably was an inspiration for the killer in the movie.
Ah...good ol american hero intro sweet music to my ears!
One of my favorite reviews IS BACK!!
1:25 nice mommy dearest reference
The beginning part reminds me of Norma and Norman Bates from Psycho IV.
Like he said guys, the movie wasn't too out of the ordinary.
Will old videos from Cinema snob site ever come back to life? Or there is some place to find them other than some of them on yt?
10:02 - 10:32 My favorite part on this video. :D
czcams.com/video/tmecUmoXwlE/video.html
My condolences, Brad.
Thanks for re uploading this
This is by far my favorite review of yours. Thank you for re-uploading it!
On a Monday, I am waiting.
Thanks to the Brucesploitation scene, Pieces is officially the Man with the Golden Gun of slasher films
I don't know of a place where I can buy pornographic 500 piece puzzles, and I don't know a little kid who can assemble a pornographic 500 piece puzzle and I'm glad. No one at all should be shocked that mama dearest took an axe to the face... That's science.
I started watching this video and my can stepped on my keyboard, skipping the video. So Snob said "What other tagline could fit this AXE TO THE FACE!"
Willard is the prison guard who dies gruesomely and uniquely in Midnight Express.
Oh Shit! I think Marty's the killer!! Oh wait, i got this confused with another horror movie where i can correctly predict the killer. Sorry about that but it's nice to have this classic episode back. ^^
Slaughter High reference? ;-)
he said he had bad Chop Suey.... listening to System of the Down can do some really bad things to you. listen with care.
It's true, that song sucks. The album is pretty good tho.
Wow, how very insulting. That song kicks a whole lotta ass. Both you and Shiirow should be ashamed of yourselves.@@moonmanmcsungod765
shit man 5 years ago? This takes me back lol wow how much changes so fast. Fu ck man. Well hey thanks for reminding me of an old ass comment and taking me back :) chop suey still trash tho
i saw this in theaters
Pieces is one of the best slasher movies ever. And Eli Roth knowes what he is talking about when it comes to horror films and makes good ones himself expect Green Inferno which was a big let down
Tell me this means the review for "The Mutilator" is next!!!
I saw this as a snipbit in the movie Censor.
Came from Carrie/Jennifer!
15:27-15:37 - me, after a bully or a tough guy beats up someone weaker than him, when the victim clearly didn't deserve it.
Wasn’t there an intro to this one where Brad talked about this out of character about how this is one of his favorite movies or was the the other Juan Piquer Simon film, Pod People?
ah, 1942 must be the good old days when porn was scarce but dangerous tools were not. Why does he have axes and saws ready to use in his room?
Well, there was a war on...
Maybe it was meant as a fire-axe?
I saw this from another review by GoodBadFlicks, one of his older vids!
I can't watch this now without repeating lines to your review now lol, but it's a decent slasher
Nice, "Christine" reference!
the perfect snack when watching this movie is reese's pieces
U should watch from beyond and judge it
Cameo after red ninja dude beats him, Ha...Classic.
The Revenge of Kung Tai Ted.
Hey, the professor with the skulls was in the Ghost Galleon!
I thought Trumpy was the director of this movie
Brad! Check out "The Drug Knot" an after school special with David Toma! You need to review it :)
Thanks brad I guess you do read comments
I have thankfully never had my arm sliced off with a chainsaw. But if I did, something tells me my other arm wouldn't remain held up at the exact same angle it was beforehand. That takes muscle strength and concentration I doubt I'd have when I'm completely terrified and in agony. Otherwise though, the movie was pretty well done.
Are you going to upload your review of Nekromantik?
Aw, you cut the pre-episode out of character bit. Oh well.
I know right?
"I riff Pieces because I love Pieces."
That's a mantra I think we can all learn from.
Yeah, why was that cut?
@@Iamafishproductions When you love something, you need to learn to make fun of it as well, that's what i always say!
Bruce Snob is brutal 😎
12:32 THE GREAT COMMUNICATOR
Should review blood diner its great
I just found out Eli Roth directed The House With a Clock in its Walls
"You couldn't scare off Trumpy!"
2:00 very surprised there's not an NES Back to the Future reference there.
2:20 then I notice you make a Back to the Future reference
2:30 I realize I can make anything into a Back to the Future reference
2:40 I drop a like and go watch Back to the Future. I'll be back
Well, this flick certainly has an awesome CONCEPT at least. A killer assembling a HUMAN JIGSAW PUZZLE? Very original and imaginative, yet creepy and sick! Oh, and THIS flick has some pretty strong SHOCKS too (if your into that), with surprisingly not-poor effects work.
From the director of "Pod People"...
stranget92 and Slugs
Please review KO Kippers.
🎶 Put down that chainsaw and listen to me... 🎶
Well ... I hear the entire voice over cast of 'Monster Dog' in this movie! Er, almost. I don't think I heard the voice over actress fir Victoria Vera.
Why is the video not letting me choose a higher resolution than 360p?
Because there isn't a higher resolution. Brad used to record on a potato.
Did the movie even hint at any supernatural elements that would justify the ending?
Saw this in the theater and nope.
Dead girl crushes dude's nuts.
The End.
@@johnkirby8939 Well, that is some shit film making. Mind you I've seen The Clones Of Bruce Lee so it doesn't surprise me.
May had a subdued version of the ending, and May is a great movie. May didn't justify it either.
May is that rarest of things, a slasher film that Ebert liked. It may be the only one he liked that wasn't directed by Wes Craven or John Carpenter.
I'm so disappointed nobody sang "Idiot Control Now" in this movie.
Hey, that's my Kung-Fu Professor!
I’m surprised brad hasn’t reviewed the toolbox murders
How many takes were needed for the BASTARD!!!! scene, I wonder?
It would've been better in the review, but at least he wasn't a BASTARD! by leaving it out completely.
That’s probably what inspired Kyle Broflovski to say every time after Kenny died in South Park.
(Kendall’s spuds get crushed)
WOAH, looks like someone’s getting a singing career after college!
What movie is the pancakes line from in the beginning?
Cabin Fever.
0:32 Well since you recommend it, I guess the film is a hidden gem among the over saturated market of. . .
0:38 . . . Uh Oh.
So... it had the same random twist ending as May?
I do love that line: "He looks suspicious about why he wants to rape them."
12:36
JESUS! What movie was that from?!
The Killers 1964.
Is that Mr Bean as the killer?
Why did you clip the beginning where you're out of character and talking about your love of Simon?????
That was a mistake, I meant to only clip out the opening credits.
Too bad. But stuff happens. :-) @@StonedGremlinProductions
Hey, I have this movie
10:32 Who is that
Good old 360p.
Wasn't that the professor from sliders with the chainsaw
wasn't there a president's photo in pod people?
What about Mr. Stitch?
So this movie is technically about the original Jigsaw Killer
15:27 where’s the dreams that I’ve been after?
