Anyone ever see this film? It was a b&w production with a partial Japanese cast but it was filmed in english. It's basically about a reporter who searches for a story while in Japan and meets a mad scientist who poisons him and he eventually becomes a monster with 2 heads after suffering a personality change. Turner Classic Movies (I think that was the channel) ran it once a few weeks back and I do think it is a rarer film. One part before the second head appears features the reporter looking down at his shoulder and seeing an eye pop out (like in Army of Darkness decades later-I believe this is what inspired that scene because it's very similar.)
Sure have. Love it when he is running around and the fake head is flopping all over the place. It did have some racy points for a movie of its time, like the mutating husband cheating on his wife with the evil female assistant.
The end was surprising and makes you wonder how that worked, but I could be reading into it too much. Maybe it was symbolic.
The eyeball scene appeared in "It Came From Hollywood," with gigglelicious narration by Gilda Radner.
"The Manster" might just be my favorite "two-headed monster" movie, just edging out "The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant" and "The Thing With Two Heads"...the climactic "split up" is freaking hilarious, as is the "volcano" the mad scientist has set up his lab on top of; and yet, there are some genuinely effective moments.
Oh, yeah! Prime Velveeta. Some nice parts, like when the hero is on the other side of a paper screen, talkin' to the evil hottie, while they hot tub...and he starts getting....nasty. Oh, yeah. This one is on my list.
I like the begining part especially with the monster behind the screen attacking the girl and then blood splashes all over it- cool way to open the movie up.
I liked it. kind of stupid title though if you think about it. Andrew, I don't know if you've covered this before, but don't you think it would be alot easier if you had a baord where you could scroll down and see all the responses (not that I personally get many) rather than opening them all up? is it a cost thing?

Click on Flat View and each topic will have all the replies in one long page. That's the way I prefer it too.

Um, yeah.
I am not certain if that was in the old source code or not. I would have to pull out the old backup disk and check to find out. No matter what, I like this new version of Phorum.
Me use Flat View long time.

Hehe. You'd be amazed at how many simple features I've overlooked in software I've been using forever. :)

Flat view has been available as long as I've been posting here, which is several months at least.
