The Thing with Two Heads
“The doctor blew it--the most fantastic medical experiment of the age.”

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A dying racist arranges a head transplant and wakes attached to a Black man who has every reason to object. Ray Milland and Rosey Grier share an exceptionally inconvenient body in a deliberately absurd chase comedy. The provocation is unmistakable, as is the physical difficulty of staging it.
