The Thing with Two Heads - DVD
About this product
The Thing With Two Heads is a film that answers the age-old question Are two heads better than one? Despite his deteriorating health, incredibly rich and deeply racist brain surgeon Maxwell Kirshner (Ray Milland, The Lost Weekend, Dial M For Murder) plans to be around for a very long time. What better way to achieve his goal than to transplant his still cognitive noggin onto the body of a healthy human being? Having performed similar experimental surgeries on animals, Maxwell convinces his colleagues to perform the groundbreaking and unsanctioned medical procedure on him – the first successful head-graft. With his body in rapid decline, Maxwell’s head is transplanted onto the first available body. And that would be death row inmate Jack Moss (Rosey Grier, Skyjacked, Timber Tramps). Did we forget to mention that Jack Moss is black? The Thing With Two Heads, directed by Lee Frost (The Black Gestapo, Private Obsession), from a screenplay by Lee Frost, Wes Bishop and James Gordon White, co-stars Don Marshall (Uptown Saturday Night, Terminal Island), Roger Perry (Count Yorga, Vampire), William Smith (Conan the Barbarian, The Outsiders) and Jerry Butler (A Bronx Tale, La Bamba).

The Blues Brothers/Blues Brothers 2000
A white racist wakes up from a head transplant with his head next to another man's, sharing his body... Thing with Two Heads movie is scheduled to be released Jun 23, 2015 by the Olive Films studio. 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. Thing with Two Heads movie 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). Thing with Two Heads is the camp classic to end all camp classics, an uproarious film that has a large, dedicated cult fan base. Thing with Two Heads video 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.
Dr. Girard is a rich scientist conducting experiments on head transplantation. After a tragedy, Girard takes a bold risk and applies his experiment to human subjects. Things go horribly wrong and the two-headed creature escapes to terrorize the countryside.
