Trivia
Winner of the Medved brothers' Golden Turkey Award in the category "Worst Two-Headed Transplant Movie".

Errores
It appears that more than Kirschner's head was transplanted to Moss's body. If smoke is breathed in by one head and exhaled by the other, there must be some connection to the lungs. If Kirschner is talking, he must have a voice box. Could both talk at the same time? In spite of the science jargon, there is no evidence that anything but the head was transplanted.

Citas
Lila: Get some sleep, baby, I'll wake you once dinner's ready.
Jack Moss: Let's just stay here a little while.
Lila: Now come on, honey, I got to start dinner.
Jack Moss: You don't have to start now, why don't you start it later?
Lila: [hesitant] Oh come on Jack, I... I
[she glances at Kirshner]
Jack Moss: Is he bothering you? I'll cover his head with a pillowcase.
Dr. Maxwell Kirshner: [with disgust] You must be joking! Is that all you people think about?
Lila: [with disgust] It's no use honey, maybe when I get used to it.
[walks off]
Jack Moss: [turns to Kirshner] Now you know you got to go!

"Is This Some Kind Of A Joke?!"...

In THE THING WITH TWO HEADS, Ray Milland (X: THE MAN WITH THE X-RAY EYES, FROGS) is Maxwell Kirshner, the irascible, bigoted head of the Kirshner Transplant Foundation. Arthritis has destroyed Kirshner's body, and he's contracted terminal cancer, so he comes up with a brilliant, novel plan to escape his ancient, dying frame. Indeed, he decides to transplant his dome onto a physically healthier body. His animal trials have already gone quite well.

WARNING: Contains The Hideous, Two-Headed Go-rilla Running Amok Sequence!

The question becomes, who would volunteer for such a procedure? Well, thanks to the penal system, a death-row convict is quickly supplied. Enter Jack Moss (Roosevelt "Rosey" Grier). Of course, Kirshner knows nothing about the body he is about to be grafted to. The surgery is performed.

WARNING: Contains The Nearly Lifelike, Rubber Kirshner And Moss Heads!

Let the hilarity begin! A perfectly preposterous film that could only have been made in the 1970's, it does have something to say about racism. It's schlock content is astronomical, and if it weren't for Milland and Grier, all would surely have been lost. They are magic together, in an Archie Bunker sewn onto George Jefferson sort of way.

Ultimately, the movie devolves into a typical series of chase scenes. Well, typical for a two-headed man movie! Watch for the dirt bike rally! Also, for added fun, try to count the number of police cruisers that are destroyed!

A credit to its sub-genre...
