The Thing with Two Heads
The doctor blew it--the most fantastic medical experiment of the age.
Directed by Lee Frost
Produced by Saber Productions, American International Pictures
A campy 1970s sci-fi comedy that uses the absurdity of a two-headed monster to satirize racism and class privilege through slapstick action and chase sequences.
A rich but racist man is dying and hatches an elaborate scheme for transplanting his head onto another man's body. His health deteriorates rapidly, and doctors are forced to transplant his head onto the only available candidate: a black man from death row.
