Years ago, I saw on television an old 1970's or 1980's cheesy film about two guys (may or may not be brothers) who start a restaraunt and serve people that they kill. I remember one scene where a call for chicken fingers is answered with the (I think) health inspector's fingers. It was on the SciFi channel near Halloween a few years ago and it was heavily censored. Can anyone tell me the name of this film?

That sounds like The Undertaker and His Pals (1966), a comedy. It just didn't work for me at all, but my brother loved it.

I'd say it definitely sounds more like Blood Diner to me. If there's a part where one of the brothers participated in a pro-wrestling match either while wearing a Hitler mustache or fighting a guy wearing a Hitler mustache, or if you remember the brothers talking to their uncle who's just a brain, 2 eyes and a pair of lips in a jar, there's no doubt that it's Blood Diner.

I DO remember a bunch of cranial and facial organs in a jar! They killed and buried him, and kept the jar in the trunk, right? That kept talking to it, but I don't remember if it talked back. I don't remember the wrestling, but I wasn't paying much attention to it at the time as my friend kept pestering me about whether or not I thought my mother was attractive. Anyway, I'll check around for confirmation and get back to you. Good job.

That was it! I just watched to first ten minutes on YouTube. If I remember correctly, they kill their uncle in a cemetary after getting angry at him? I know he's a brain in a jar, but still...

When the two were kids, their uncle schooled them in black magick, hypnotism, and the worship of the bloodthirsty deity known as Sheetar. The uncle is killed by the police, because he slaughters a bunch of teenage skanks, and, years later, when the kids are grown up, they go to the cemetery, kill the night watchman (which I assume is the act of murder you're thinking), and they dig up their uncle's body. They take out the brain, cast a spell on it, and bada-bing bada-boom, ya got yourself a talking brain in a jar. The movie then continues as the uncle-brain instructs his nephews to go around town, killing nekkid chicks, in performance of an ancient flesh-eating occult ritual. The two guys dispose of the leftover body parts from their victims by serving them at their restaurant.

It's actually one of my favorite films, for the record.

No problem. Glad to help when I can.  :thumbup:

Yeah, it came back to me. That's what happened, Mr. Weird. Solved.
