The Thing with Two Heads (1972)
<p><img border="0" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00005AUK3.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg" align="left" hspace="5"> When an incredibly rich racist (Ray Milland) discovers that he's dying, he decides to have his head transplanted onto another body, but his health slips away too fast for him to make any concrete plans. When he wakes up, he's a little irked that his bigoted head has been sewn onto the body of a black death-row inmate, played by the inimitable Rosey Grier (the famous football player who enjoys knitting). THE THING WITH TWO HEADS is the camp classic to end all camp classics, an uproarious film that has a large, dedicated cult fan base. The special effects team even includes a very young Rick Baker, who went on to revolutionize the use of SFX in film. While not exactly THE DEFIANT ONES or IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT, this surreal, absurd, impossible-not-to-love film hits 1970s racism right on the head--er, or is that heads?--leaving willing audiences with an unforgettable cinematic experience.</p>

Sean Mota : 1 star. I am watching this movie and I think it will be finished soon (thank God!). This movie is not your way to spend your evening waiting for a good sci-fi movie. Even though is categorized as a sci-fi movie, it really is a comedy that can't make you laugh. Fifty percent of the movie is based on a silly police chase that you think it will never end. I give the actors and director credit for putting these two heads together but there were obvious cuts and edits in the movie that make you wonder how the hell this ever made into 35 mm film. The HD transfer was ok. I give it 1.5 stars. It was this bad... I am glad is over.
