8 Heads in a Duffel Bag (1997)

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.

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!!!!
