Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBecause producer Dick Randall was simultaneously making kung-fu films in Rome, a cameo for a Bruce Lee imitator, Bruce Le, was written into this film, even though this scene makes no sense in the context of the rest of the film.
- Goofs(at around 1 min) Although the prologue is set in 1942, the mother tells the boy to get a plastic trash bag, even though it was invented in 1950. Aside from the American version that has this goof, the Spanish version she just asks for a dustbin.
- Quotes
[after exiting the room of a bloody corpse]
Kendall: You see it?
Mary Riggs: YES! While we out here fumbling with that music... the lousy bastard was in there, KILLING HER! BASTARD! BAAAAASTAAARD! BASTAAARD!
- Alternate versionsVHS edition released by EDDE Entertainment omits the important prologue scene before the credits which sets up the plot for the entire film.

Featured review
Good at being bad.
Pieces is a cheese classic! It has bad acting, continuity errors, lovely naked chicks, and tons of gore via chainsaw (dismemberments, decapitations, etc). It' a masterpiece of sleaze and perversity. Any horror fan worth their salt should check this flick out. Features one of the best and stupidest endings in film history. A triumph!
