Two heads are better than one. ^ If you like two headed things. Then this is the movie set for you. In the first movie ("The two headed transplant") You have doctors grafting a head to put two people into one. But its the second movie that I liked the most. In the ("Thing with two head") You have doctors putting a racist white mans head next to a black man. You really have to see this one to believe it. It had me laughing so I gave it four stars. Im sure you'll like it too.
Incredible Schlock ^ The Thing With Two Heads is a decent Blaxsploitation twist on the two headed man flick. A White bigot needing a Black man's body for survival actually was kind of cool and funny back in the day. Ray Milland and Rosey Grier really seem to be enjoying themselves and this is more comical than scary. It's the reason I gave this double feature a three star rating. Neither one of these films is a classic in my opinion but they are good time wasters and lately, people have been buying this dvd like mad. The Incredible Two Headed Transplant terrified me when I was a child and the idea of a serial rapist using a retarded man's body as an instrument of destruction is still disturbing. Albert Cole as psycho Manuel Cass was no Michael Myers but those glazed eyes and that demented laugh can really mess with a kid's mind. This is probably why you don't see it on television anymore. Bruce Dern will probably never live this cheesefest down but he wasn't bad in it. Overall, this double about unlikely doubles is beyond schlock with funky pimped out music (in both films), bad acting, choppy editing, lousy continuity, and some of the worst effects (if you can call them that) ever. Buy this only if you truly know what you're getting yourself into. I mean, look at all the used copies for sale on Amazon. After a good viewing or two, the average person will probably trade this dvd for a cold beer.
The Incredible Thing................... ^ Two of the best forgotten classics. The Incredible Two-headed Transplant is a classic horror that have not been seen on tv for years. A killer/rapist head is put on a retarded handyman. That's when all hell break loose. The killer convinces the handyman to do his biddings. I get a great laugh when the handyman is called a bunch of names. The Thing with Two Heads is a classic about a bigot head is put on a black guy. This one is more of a comedy, then horror. Both classic are great to own I strongly recommend in your horror collection. Once again many thanks to MGM/Midnite movie for releasing great forgotten horror classic.
Let's Put Our Heads Together... ^ THE INCREDIBLE TWO-HEADED TRANSPLANT! Man, I love saying that! A mad scientist (Bruce Dern) perfects his method of grafting an extra head onto one body. His assistant convinces him to use humans instead of the lab animals he's used to. This works out well, since the lumbering handyman (John Bloom from The Dark) is available, along w/ Cass, a notorious mass murderer who happens along. The good doctor performs his magic, creating a lumbering mass-murderer! This doesn't go over well w/ the doc's wife (Pat "Marilyn Munster" Priest), who had just escaped the eeevil Cass' clutches that same day! Enter Casey Kasem as the family friend and we're off! THE THING WITH TWO HEADS concerns a bigoted surgeon (Ray Milland from X: The Man W/ The X-Ray Eyes, The Premature Burial, and Frogs) whose head is stitched onto the body of a convict from death row (Rosie Grier from The Glove). Hilarity ensues when we see Milland's head next to Grier's, like some mutated toadstool! Lots of racial slurs and typical 70s groove-music keep things moving. This movie also contains one of the most idiotic multi-car chase scenes ever filmed! Yepper, buy this double-headed double-header immediately...
TWO HEADS ARE SOMETIMES BETTER! ^ The first movie with Rosey Grier is funny. Not hilarious. But it does have some decent laughs. It does try to be a serious movie which makes it less worthwhile to laugh at. But there is a long scene of a motorcycle chase that seemed like the director had no idea what else to shoot or was writing the story as he/she was shooting the movie.
The second movie was more serious than the previous. But it does have some funny scenes. It is just too bad that both of these films tried to pull off a strong message about experimenting with the dead (ala: Frankenstein). It just was not necessary. Well, it is worth seeing if you know what two heads in a movie means. Otherwise, stick with one head.
