Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Lion's Gate Films "R" rated version of "Murder-Set-Pieces" was released on January 9th, 2007, and it is cut and edited by 23 minutes. No other film in the history of cinema has had to have that many minutes cut to avoid the "NC-17" rating. Director Nick Palumbo was extremely unhappy with their edits, claiming it made his film incomprehensible.
- GoofsAt some points when The Photographer slashes a prostitute with his razor knife in the Holiday Hotel, the cameraman's shadow is visible.
- Quotes
Jade: Do you always eat your meat that bloody?
The Photographer: Yes, blood is good. It's good for you. Blood contains iron, and you need iron to reproduce new blood cells. See, that's the problem with women. Women have an iron deficiency...
[Charlotte giggles]
The Photographer: ... among other things. Women need iron more than men. It's ironic. Women suck blood out of men every day. But at the end of every month, it leaks out. It's just punishment. So, want some ice cream tonight?

- Alternate versionsThe original theatrical version (and workprint) of this film ran roughly 15 minutes longer than the new "Director's Cut" DVD of the film. Some of the scenes missing from the new DVD includes:
- A different beginning. The theatrical version began with The Photographer taking shots of a bloody corpse. The DVD begins with a new credit montage featuring images of characters that will be murdered later in the film, thus spoiling who the victims will be.
- Phone Arguement between Jade's sister and The Photographer while at work.
- The Psychic Reading/Killing: The photographer visits a psychic who won't reveal "what the cards say", thus upsetting him and leading to the psychic's strangulation.
- The Photographer watching a bizarre film strip of a girl tied on a bed wearing a pig's mask.
- A scene where The Photographer is shown picking up the first prostitutes before the whole "red light, house music, slit throat/choke" scene.
- The "bathtub" girl/stripper arriving late. She apologizes, and The Photographer asks her to take off her clothes. She does, then smacks her own butt and says something like 'these are my best ASSets'. After this he says "turn around", then is plays out the same as the DVD version after that.
- Extended scenes of The Photographer driving the strip.
- A rather artistic shot of The Photographer running towards the screen barefoot on a road, bleeding at the mouth.
