Title: Really...really...really bad film with a racial theme.
Post by: Flick James on August 22, 2009, 01:04:49 PM
I saw this one many years ago, and it's truly bad, but was a wonderful watch back in my long-gone stoner days.  It was a 70's film about a rich, white, biggoted, middle-aged man who has something go wrong and the only way to survive is they attach his head to the body of a large black man.  It wouldn't surprise me if the black man was an NFL linebacker in real life.  So, he wakes up grateful to be alive, then looks to his side to see his head next to a black man and wishes they had let him die.  So you have this large, tall black man walking around with two heads: his own and that of a middle-aged biggot who would rather be dead than be attached a black man.  If I remember, it was even very obvious that this man walked around with the other actor strapped behind him underneath his clothes.  Sounds like an SNL skit, right?  No, this was a full-length film.  I'm sure there was some comedic intent on the part of the makers, but I can't for the life of me figure out what they were trying to accomplish with this truly awful film.  Was there some serious racial theme trying to come through?  I don't remember the name of it.

I know someone here will come through.

HAH!  I knew that would be quick.  Just looked it up on Wikipedia.  Yep, that's the one.  So the black man was an NFL player, Rosie Grier.  Wow, what a piece of **** that movie was.  Thanks.
