EDITOR’S NOTE: The Thing With Two Heads was on the CBS Late Movie on August 30, 1974.

Dr. Maxwell Kirshner (Ray Milland) knows that he’s dying but that’s why he’s getting his team of surgeons to do head transplants with gorillas, He’s running out of time and Dr. Philip Desmond (Roger Perry) has hired a black doctor — Dr. Phillip Desmond (Don Marshall) — and Kirshner shows off that he’s totally racist.

The plan has been to have criminals on death row to think they’re going to the chair and instead give their bodies up to be used by Desmond. Imagine his surprise when his death comes faster than he expected and he ends up having his head transplanted onto the same body of innocent man Jack Moss (Rosey Grier). Imagine Jack’s wife Lila’s (Chelsea Brown) surprise when he shows up with an old white man ‘s head on his shoulders.

Coming out a year after The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant, this has a man punching his other head in the face and an old racist’s severed head hooked up to a heart and lung machine. So there’s that.

Directed by Lee Frost (House On Bare Mountain, Mondo Bizarro, Witchcraft ’70, A Climax of Blue Power), this was written by Frost (the only guy I know that can make The Black Gestapo and a major studio movie like Race With the Devil), James Gordon White (who also wrote The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant, so he got paid twice for this idea) and Wes Bishop.

I’d say there’s no other movie like this, but there is.
