TeenzTen An action-packed slog

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

callanvass I saw this quite a few years ago when I was younger, and I remembered being fairly unimpressed with it. How do I feel about it now?? I kinda dug it actually, it's got some balls. They really don't make them like this anymore. Not only does it have a car crash scene that makes some of the scenes in a Final Destination movie look weak in comparison. Watching Jeff Fahey go all unruly with everybody is always a treat to watch. I also really dug the family values in this one. Fahey's family really acted like a natural family, and I really felt for Fahey's descent into craziness. There are some things that I questioned, though. I didn't buy how Bill's (Fahey) kids were all nice to Bill, despite the fact that he knocks his son around, and yells a lot. You would think the kids would learn not to go around him. I also felt the finale was overblown. It was entertaining, don't get me wrong, but it was a bit too chaotic for my liking. It also has some pointless characters as well; Zakes Mokae as the detective being one of them. Jeff Fahey is a criminally underrated actor. He has always been one of my favorites, and why this man is stuck in DTV hell right now is beyond me. Stop being stupid Hollywood and recognize this man's talents! His unpredictable show is a main reason why this film is so entertaining. Kim Delaney lends able support as the caring wife, I dug her a lot. She's not too hard to look at either. Brad Douriff plays a likable role for once. That was rather funFinal Thoughts: It has its faults, but I simply cannot deny the entertainment it provides. Go in with low expectations and have a blast with this puppy. If you like gore, Fahey going nuts like nobody else can, I would check this one out. 6/10

rbrb The film is enjoyable and is good fun.The main character loses his arm in an accident, and gets a replacement from a dubious source leading to all sorts of macabre events, and the play includes having a mad scientist/doctor.What I like about this picture is that even though the story spirals into absurdity and is preposterous, all the lead actors take themselves and the story very seriously making the movie even more hilarious. Everyone gives full throttle performances which keeps the viewer nicely entertained!I wonder if we have or will get a body Parts II?! Worthy of a solid:7/10

Wavehill24 As bad and ridiculous as this movie was, i found the premise compelling and the questions it posed. Jeff Fahey started to look more and more demonic as the movie went on, and his hair changed too. I wouldn't recommend the film, but i think it was horrifying in a Frankensteinian way and fun in the way Blue Velvet was fun, in that dark, film noir kind of way,but Parts was without the aesthetics. I had to laugh because certain scenes reminded me of Robinson Crusoe on Mars, and then in other parts i actually wondered what was going on, like maybe there was a cohesive, tightly woven plot. I think i was mistaken on that. Too bad, the movie sort of had some kind of appeal. Anyone agree? I kind of thought the painter who received the other arm was a classic nut case in a way that was so over the top as to be humorous.I actually felt that his family relationships were kind of honest and touching, even though they saw their dad unraveling. Perhaps one of the highlights of the film.

Arca1943 One of the worse movies I have ever seen. Even more so because it was adapted from a Boileau-Narcejac novel. For years and years, every time a new Boileau-Narcejac suspense novel was released, among the list of already-published books, the title « ...Et mon tout est un homme » was always accompanied by two mentions : « Grand Prix de l'Humour Noir - 1965 », and below, in smaller characters : « En cours d'adaptation cinématographique » (which means : in the process of being adapted for the screen). So year after year, I was expecting the movie to finally emerge from the book. When it finally did, in 1991, I watched it. Poor me.In a way, «Body Parts» is a tour de force. Sure, Boileau-Narcejac wrote plenty of suspense dramas, very anxiogene ones at that, some of which also became masterpieces of suspense on the big screen : such as Henri-Georges Clouzot's « Diabolique » and Alfred Hitchcock's « Vertigo ». Except that « ...Et mon tout est un homme » is NOT a suspense drama : it is a FARCE ! A macabre farce ! Which is why it was awarded le Grand Prix de l'Humour Noir ! (Grand Prize for Dark Humour) The movie «Body Parts» is a tour de force in its own kind because, from a crazy plot whose eccentric twists are justified only by the fact that it is satire, they came out with a dead-serious, B-Series horror flick that is really a festival of involuntary humor !
