Poor Ray Milland....

The biggest issue with the film is that it can't find its tone. It tries hard to play everything pretty straight, and succeeds rather well for about half the film even though it never truly impresses. Then in the second half it wastes time on a silly chase and wraps up the plot in like three scenes, wasting the potential for a decent film but never delivering on the promise of silly ridiculous fun.

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. if you read this and you still want to watch the movie...

So preposterous, so funny. Note how all of Lee Frost and Wes Bishop's movies manage to squeeze in a dirt bike scene.

~Irony~

Another in a pile of films that are so bad it's funny. Considering how absurd the premise is though, it actually doesn't deliver enough laughs. A long, serious first act and a super-rushed third act detract from the fun, but the second act is all pulpy goodness. They sure had fun trashing all those police cars.

For a concept this immensely silly, the end result isn't crazy enough. Takes 45 minutes to get going and it's played too straight most of the time. I was laughing my ass off during the dirtbike racing scenes though. You don't see a two-headed guy being chased by 20 police cars every day. Unless you live next to a nuclear power plant.

Extremely slow start, but when the shit hits the fan, it hits hard. That police car chase scene deserves a 100 points, it's one of the most awesome chase scenes ever made in film history. Oh happy days!

The inspired box copy says it all: "They share the same body...but hate each other's guts!" Nobody involved is taking the material too seriously.

Campy camp camp camp!
