![]() She goes to the police to make a statement to Lieutenant Carter (Brian Burt) and then discusses the murder with her friend Jennifer (Tally Chanel). She recalls: “I was really surprised! The guys were really cute and some of their routines were kinda clever.” However, her good mood is soured after Tanya’s body is found in a dumpster and makes the front page of the local newspaper. The next morning, Rosie tells her mother (Sandy Brooke) all the juicy details about the strip club over breakfast. "Mommy, they think you're dangerous, but I know you're 'armless!". He bashes her across the head and takes her back to his torture dungeon, where mannequin Mommy encourages him to kill her. Yet, this doesn’t help when Arthur stalks her (accompanied by what sounds like elevator musak and wind chimes). After their fill of pecs and ass, Tanya (Sheila Lussier) and Rosie (Suzanna Smith) leave the exclusive 2001 Club Strip Bar and part ways - but not before Tanya confides to her friend that: “Being a psych undergrad is such hard work!”.

Arthur (a one-time credit for S.E Zygmont) is the loony loner, whose Mommy issues have set him on a woman-hating path. The plot (what little there is of it) treads a well worn path. Or, perhaps director and co-writer Leland Thomas (who cameos as ‘large stranger’ in the film) was playing clever all along. If I was wearing mascara I’d have looked like a panda by the time the credits rolled. This little known mid 80s trash opus is a veritable smorgasbord of unintentional laughs. Bits and Pieces kills again and moustaches are back in style.
