leplatypus I didn't put this Kim's movie of my watch-list and after watching it, my decision was wise as it's so bad or more accurately not the movie i expected : I thought that with Kim's talent and stardom, she would have been the central character and that the Frankenstein husband would go at her ! But this is not that : Kim plays only the supportive wife in the background and all the movie resolves around the husband : as he meets with other transplanted and there is violence, blood, and indeed gore, i wasn't not at all motivated to see how this stupid story would evolve. So the only interest was to see this young natural Kim. She was cute with her shorts hair and playing also a young mother. It's a pity she couldn't find better and much then

BA_Harrison The somewhat ludicrous idea of a transplant patient being controlled by their new limb dates back as far as F.W. Murnau's 1924 expressionist classic The Hands of Orlac, in which a pianist who loses his hands in an accident is given transplants from the body of a recently executed murderer with disastrous results.In Body Parts, Eric Red's 1991 take on this macabre tale, several people receive replacement limbs from convicted killer Charley Fletcher, but it is prison psychologist Bill Chrushank (Jeff Fahey) who first begins to suspect that there is something not quite right when his new right arm exhibits uncharacteristic behaviour, hitting his son and throttling his wife (Kim Delaney) while she sleeps.Bill is understandably shocked when he eventually discovers the identity of his arm's original owner, and demands that his surgeon Dr. Agatha Webb (Lindsay Duncan) remove the troublesome appendage, but she refuses, unwilling to undo her groundbreaking work. Meanwhile, Fletcher, whose head has been attached to a new body by the clearly deranged Webb, is running around savagely tearing his transplanted extremities from their new owners.The concept might be extremely well worn, providing the basis for more than a handful of horrors over the years, but Eric Red manages to bring new life to the 'evil transplanted limb' idea by acknowledging its sheer silliness and simply running with it. It takes a while to get into the swing of things, but once Fletcher starts to reclaim his lost body parts, the fun really begins, with Red serving up some great gore and outlandish plot developments.The film's most preposterous moment comes as Bill is sitting in a police car: Fletcher drives alongside, slaps handcuffs on Bill's wrist and tries to pull his arm off by quickly accelerating away. Fortunately, Detective Sawchuck (Zakes Mokae) is in the driving seat and miraculously keeps up with Fletcher's vehicle as it careens headlong through oncoming traffic while Bill desperately tries to remove the cuffs. It's an extremely dumb sequence, but well executed and hugely entertaining.In a glorious Grand Guignol-style finale, Bill confronts the mad doctor and Fletcher in a laboratory where the convict's reclaimed severed limbs and bloody torso are now suspended in a tank of liquid. In a marvellously splattery and absurdly grotesque finish, a desperate battle breaks out, during which Bill wrests a shotgun from Fletcher and proceeds to blow the crap out of anything that twitches, finally destroying the killer's connection with his arm in the process.7.5 out of 10, rounded up to 8 for IMDb.

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

RabbitMayhem This is what happens when the two best movie genres in the world meet each other and have passionate sex. It's SCI-FI mixed in with sick old fashioned HORROR. It's the most beautiful mix ever and it was done in this ERIC RED masterpiece. All the best aspects for a good horror/sci-fi were perfectly aligned for this one. An outstanding lead actor, JEFF FAHEY (The Lawnmower Man), a great movie maker, ERIC RED, and a good book, "CHOICE CUTS" from BOILEAU-NARCEJAC. It's starts off good, then it gets better, but it doesn't stop there. It becomes eerie, then sick, then crazy, and all of a sudden you end up watching a violent twisted ending. Once you get passed the "yeah right" idea of the body grafting, you're in and hooked. You cannot expect CGI, or witty modern dialogue, due to the fact that it was made in 1991 just before the big change between good old-fashioned bloody gore and the new commercial stuff you see today. You will, at the very least, be moved by the fact that you saw it and can make a constructive criticism yourself without outside judgment. It was missed by the popular audience but will always be remembered by HORROR fanatics everywhere. It's a definite keeper.
