A British American crime comedy directed by Tom Schulman, starring Joe Pesci, George Hamilton and Dyan Cannon.
A mobster loses his bag of decapitated heads at an airport baggage claim. They are picked up by a young man on vacation with his girlfriend's parents. Insert standard stupid American comedy plot here.
Dumb and stale. The plot seemed like every other American comedy with a missing item I've ever seen. Like it was copied and pasted from a previous film. Joe Pesci plays a great mobster (obviously) and David Spade makes great comic relief in a Stephen Chow deadpan delivery, but with Jim Carrey absurdity. The humor(?) was not very funny, except 1 scene: Joe Pesci is sleeping in a hotel room with the heads on a table and dreams that they sing to him. Video looked exactly like every other film from 1993 to 2001 or so. Audio had dialogue I could hear and Mr. Sandman on the soundtrack. I rate this poor because it was not good, but I've seen much worse. You probably should not watch it.
In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Medusa (1973)
A British Greek crime mystery directed by Gordon Hessler, starring George Hamilton.
Love affairs, family relations, murder and organized crime swirl in a torrid Euro-trash cesspool.
Totally gorgonless! How dare they name the film Medusa and not put her in it? What was there was a big mess of murky plot, barely identifiable characters and underexposed video. On the plus side, there was a little bit of good music and a side-boob shot. Inadequate. For the unforgivable crimes of not making sense and false advertising, I sentence this film to a shit rating. DO NOT WATCH!!!!
