Juan Piquer Simón - Mil gritos tiene la noche AKA Pieces (1982)

I'm gonna wager that most of you know this film already. If so, I shouldn't need to rhapsodize about it. But if you're reading this, and you haven't seen it yet... Jesus man, what are you waiting for? PIECES is pretty much the ne plus ultra of why CG was created - it's terrible, hilarious, amazing, hugely entertaining, wrongheaded, tasteless, gory as fuck, sleazy and altogether wonderful. There's severed limbs and heads a-plenty, a hero who lets his dick do most of his thinking, titty across the board, a random kung-fu fight and some gloriously awful dialogue that begs to be quoted and re-quoted until the sun burns out. (Best line: "The most beautiful thing in the world is smoking pot and fucking on a waterbed at the same time.") This thing... it's epic. Juan Piquer Simon, you will always have a place in my heart. You sick fuck.
Oh hey! There's three audio tracks here! Track one is the English dub with all the wonderfulyl stupid dialogue intact, and track three is a Spanish-language track. Track two, though, that's something you don't see every day - it's a recording of a live performance of the film at the Vine Theater in Hollywood. As fun as this film is, audience reaction makes it even more amusing. If you can't find a local venue to hoot, holler and laugh at the film, this audio track gives you the next-best thing.
