The Thing With Two Heads (1972)

Psycho Circus · July 26, 2009, 03:43:17 PM

I've just seen the trailer for this film on YouTube and was completely floored! I was stunned that such a film was made, it's utterly hilarious and also totally politically incorrect!

Basically a criminal (former NFL Linebacker Roosevelt Grier) is ready to be executed, when for no apparent reason some doctors decide to stick Ray Milland's head on his body. That was reason enough for me to go straight to Amazon to purchase this cinematic triumph.

I got this one a while back on one of those "Midnight Movies" dvds. Its AWESOME. Ive never even THOUGHT of a car chase involving a two-headed being riding a stolen dirt bike with DOZENS of cop cars who just cant seem to keep up, or even keep their cars in one peice! GREAT b-flik! Go see it!

I also have this on a "Midnight Movies" DVD - - it's a double feature with THE INCREDIBLE TWO-HEADED TRANSPLANT starring Bruce Dern! Highly recommended!

I originally saw this on Elvira's Movie Macabre, one of my earliest bad movie memories! I, um...haven't got around to purchasing it yet

I actually saw this at the theater. Best part has Grier's girlfriend asking the two-headed Rosey Grier "You got two of anything else?"

THE INCREDIBLE TWO HEADED TRANSPLANT makes this look like an Oscar-worthy masterpiece.

Not only is Bruce Dern in it, but so is Casey Kasem and Pat Priest (Marilyn II in The Munsters)!

It also gets a mention in the Elvira movie.

There for, it must be awesome.

Yer back!!!

Indeed, I have returned! I TRIED to kick my b-movie habbit. Ive lost jobs, friends, GIRLfriends, and even a few LIMBS over this wretched addiction, BUT .....I JUST .....COULDNT......STAY AWAYYY...!!!

The "amazing" 2 Headed Transplant was really BORRING to me. I liked The Thing with Two Heads MUCH better.

I saw parts of this many many years ago, I couldn't have been more than 8 or 9 years old. I gotta check this one out.
