WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

azathothpwiggins In THE THING WITH TWO HEADS, Ray Milland (X: THE MAN WITH THE X-RAY EYES, FROGS) is Maxwell Kirshner, the irascible, bigoted head of the Kirshner Transplant Foundation. Arthritis has destroyed Kirshner's body, and he's contracted terminal cancer, so he comes up w/ a brilliant, novel plan to escape his ancient, dying frame. Indeed, he decides to transplant his dome onto a physically healthier body. His animal trials have already gone quite well. WARNING: CONTAINS THE HIDEOUS, TWO-HEADED GO-RILLA RUNNING AMOK SEQUENCE! The question becomes, who would volunteer for such a procedure? Well, thanks to the penal system, a death-row convict is quickly supplied. Enter Jack Moss (Roosevelt "Rosey" Grier). Of course, Kirshner knows nothing about the body he is about to be grafted to. The surgery is performed. WARNING: CONTAINS THE NEARLY LIFELIKE, RUBBER KIRSHNER AND MOSS HEADS! Let the hilarity begin! A perfectly preposterous film that could only have been made in the 70's, it does have something to say about racism. It's schlock content is astronomical, and if it weren't for Milland and Grier, all would surely have been lost. They are magic together, in an Archie Bunker sewn onto George Jefferson sort of way. The movie devolves into a typical series of chase scenes. Well, typical for a two-headed man movie! Watch for the dirt bike rally! Also, for added fun, try to count the number of police cruisers that are destroyed! A credit to its sub-genre...

meddlecore A vehemently racist surgeon- dying from an inoperable heart condition- hires a black doctor as his predecessor...not knowing he was black.When he finds out, he tries to fire the doctor, but the doctor insists on fulfilling his contractual obligations.The dying surgeon wants to prolong his life, by transplanting his head, onto someone else's body- so that his genius can live on.The plan is to get someone from death row to agree to the procedure instead of being executed.And, in some sort of case of divine irony, the only volunteer is a black inmate- on death row for a crime he claims he did not commit.His time is about up...and he wants to use the extra time to prove his innocence.Now, you have a racist white guy's head on a black dude's body...with the plan being to, eventually, cut the black dude's head off, so that the white guy can have his body.The white doctors don't feel qualified to do the job, so they turn to the black doctor for help with the final procedure (ie getting a black dude to cut a black dude's head off a black dude's body so a racist white guy can have it...).But before they have a chance to, the black dude (who still has the most control over his body) escapes- taking the black doctor hostage in the process.Now they are on the lam...with both the black dude and racist white guy's head trying to convince the doctor to amputate the other.As you can tell, this is the blaxploitation version of The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant from the year before. They would later be released together on DVD.The animatronic head used in the transplant scene is sweet! But all the rest of the special effects are pretty bad. Particularly in the last bit when the white actor takes control of the body and is driving/walking around.Before that, there's a humorously long dirtbike vs cop cars chase scene in which they crash 14 cop cars (though it seems like a lot more).And the ending all goes down very abruptly.It would have been nice if they had wrapped up the whole he was innocent angle. But it still has a feel good ending. And properly so, because Big Jack (the black dude) and his girlfriend are about the most lovable characters ever.It's not extremely racist either, worst he gets called is a black bastard, alongside some bad taste jokes that come off in context. But it get's the idea across pretty clearly in an almost light-hearted way.But you are happy to see him get f*cked over in the end.A fun little film of the it's so bad it's good kind.5.5 out of 10.

bkoganbing The Thing With Two Heads is one of those drive-in fodder camp films that is spectacularly bad it ought to be seen and seen again for the sheer scope of audacity the producers had in making this. Ray Milland's career hit rock bottom when the Oscar winning actor signed for this one. Hope he got a hefty paycheck. Roosevelt Grier's career was hardly given a boost either.Ray Milland is a racist scientist who is slowly and inexorably dying of cancer. But whatever else he is, he's a brilliant scientist who is experimenting with transplants, in fact he's already created a two headed gorilla.The trouble with the experiment is that when the head from an old sick body is attached to a new body before it gets acclimatized to the new body, the old head has to stay for a bit to keep the body alive. So that might not matter with gorillas, but when Milland is hours from death they have to grab the first body available.Which turns out to be Roosevelt Grier on death row and who also says he's innocent. What a surprise Milland gets when he finds himself attached to Grier. If he wasn't so racist Milland might actually think of some tremendous advantages that Rosey Grier has.In any event Grier who expected to be off this mortal coil is just as unhappy having Milland right next door. Nevertheless he's going to take this second chance to prove he's innocent.Most hilariously bad scene in the film is Grier and Milland stealing a motocross bike and wrecking a race and demolishing 14 police cars in the process. I guess the cops were just freaked out by chasing a two headed man. In any event the town no doubt was named Keystone.Along for the ride is Don Marshall who Milland crapped all over when he took a job at Milland's place of transplanting business. Marshall is really enjoying Milland's predicament, so much so he's agreed to help Grier prove he's innocent.The Thing With Two Heads has to be seen to be believed.

gsh999 This movie took me on a roller coaster ride of emotions and left me entirely drained. There are some people who believe that art can change people's lives. "The Thing With Two Heads" has probably changed my life. After seeing the terrible ordeal endured by the title character, The Thing With Two Heads, I am now less worried by everyday, mundane problems and more focused on the true meaning of life. And, like every great work of art, "The Thing With Two Heads" helps us understand our human condition and question our role in the universe.How could The Academy have overlooked Rosey Grier's performance in this film? I can only assume Marlon Brando had done his share of brown nosing after the release of "The Godfather" to edge out superior performances by lesser-known talent, such as Grier's performance in "The Thing With Two Heads." An under-rated classic. 10/10
