When a white racist wakes up a head transplant, he learns that his head has been transplanted onto the body of a black convict.

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

Within hours... the two-headed escapee is on a motorcycle and being chased by no less than 14 police cars. Every one of them is destroyed during the chase, a process that takes so long that seven, or even five, squad cars might have been enough.

Rated: 1/4

Film Frenzy

[UPDATED 2024 REVIEW] Since the picture never takes itself seriously (I mean, how could it?), it often falls into the so-bad-it's-good-to-watch territory, with some intentionally amusing dialogue keeping it lively.

Rated: 1.5/4

De to ruim, torna-se divertido. Com o perdo do trocadilho: onde Milland estava com a cabea quando aceitou participar desta coisa?

One of the best buddy-comedies ever made, tailored to the 70s. Not only is it a hilarious comedy, but an inspiration to everyone to become a film-maker and put their ideas on screen, no matter how stupid.

.A top surgeon is dying, so in a last-ditch effort in order to preserve himself he instructs his staff to perform a head transplant. The volunteer body is a Black deathrow inmate scheduled for execution for a murder charge. Instead of removing the inmates head, they only add the doctors head in a sense creating a "Thing With Two Heads." The Thing escapes and the police are in hot pursuit while the two heads constantly bicker and offer race-relation commentary. One of the few blaxpolitation forays into horror.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Saw this at the drive-in. It has haunted me ever since. I refer to it or I'm somehow reminded of it at least three times a week to this day.
