IMDb profile |
8 Heads in a Duffel Bag is a 1997 American black comedy film starring Joe Pesci and David Spade. It was the directorial debut of screenwriter Tom Schulman. In 1998 the film won the Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film's Silver Raven award.
[edit] Plot
Pesci plays Tommy, a wiseguy hired by a pair of dimwitted hitmen to transport a duffel bag full of decapitated heads to a crime boss (as proof of the deaths), but the bag gets switched with an identical bag belonging to Charlie, an American tourist flying to Mexico to meet his fiancee's parents.
One memorable scene in the film is a dream sequence featuring Tommy being awakened by the eight heads who begin singing a revised version of "Mr. Sandman" as headless zombies crash through the walls and try to attack him.
