8 Heads in a Duffel Bag (1997)

In this uproarious blend of crime and comedy, the chaotic misadventures of a mafia hitman unfold when he finds himself in a race against time to recover a duffel bag that holds eight severed heads. Set against the backdrop of San Diego, the film cleverly mixes elements of adventure and mystery as Tommy Spinelli's meticulously planned mission spirals into hilarious mayhem after a simple airport mix-up. As he navigates through a series of absurd encounters with eccentric characters, the film explores themes of mistaken identity and the absurdity of life in the criminal underworld. With its offbeat humor and outrageous premise, this film offers a unique take on the crime genre, turning what could be a dark narrative into a riotous escapade filled with slapstick moments and unexpected twists. The absurdity of a hitman on a quest for his lost bag of heads ensures plenty of laughs, as audiences are drawn into the whirlwind of Tommy's increasingly desperate attempts to reclaim his belongings before it's too late. This mindless comedy may not take itself too seriously, but it guarantees an entertaining ride where the stakes are high, and the laughs are even higher.
