Scott LeBrun Make no mistake: "The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant" is a clunky, stupid, silly exploitation feature. But if you're into that kind of thing, the movie *does* deliver the goods - and the laughs. The actors - well, most of them - play it all incredibly straight. The special effects are, unsurprisingly, very crude. It all comes complete with one of those dopey songs that were so common to low budget fare of the 1970s. It hits the ground running with a quickly paced opening credits sequence, and builds to a hilariously unconvincing showdown in an old tunnel.Leading actor Bruce Dern has certainly done more prestigious films, but this movie does give him a typically nutty role. Roger is a former doctor now conducting absurd experiments. Obviously he believes that two heads are better than one, and has been grafting a second head to a number of test animals. When he guns down maniacal rapist / killer Cass (Albert Cole), his demented associate Max (Berry Kroeger) gets the bright idea to put Cass's noggin on the body of the hulking but childlike Danny (seven foot four inch John Bloom), the son of Rogers' caretaker Andrew (TV horror host Larry "Seymour" Vincent). Mayhem ensues.Adding to the fun factor is the presence of sexy Pat Priest of 'The Munsters' fame, playing Rogers' victimized wife Linda, and none other than Casey Kasem as his concerned best friend Ken. (Kasem also provides the voice of the radio announcer.) Throughout the course of this epic, Linda gets bound and gagged, caged, and carried away by the rampaging monster. Bloom is endearing, and Cole is an absolute gas (there's nothing subtle about *his* leering performance). If nothing else, "The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant" can take pride in the use of that wonderful phrase "Jekyll and Hyde joy juice".Amusingly enough, A.I.P. recycled the same basic idea just one year later with "The Thing with Two Heads", starring Ray Milland and Rosey Grier.Five out of 10.

Boba_Fett1138 Obviously this is a bad movie. But what else did you expect from a movie with a title such as this one has. I'll admit, this movie its title is the only reason why I really wanted to see it and no, I also certainly don't regret I did. Yes, it's still being a bad movie but it's just one of those movies that is fun to watch, regardless of how bad things get in this movie.The movie does work out as fun because of its insane and silly concept. Main concept of the movie is a scientist experimenting on putting two heads on one body. But I seriously still don't understand with what purpose the professor was executing his experiments. As far as I understood it, it all had something to do with successfully transplanting limbs from one body onto another but this all doesn't explain why our dear professor and his disabled assistant are experimenting with putting extra heads onto animals bodies. But needless to say that this is simply one of those movies you really shouldn't think too much about, while watching it.I was really interest to see how they had done the two heads effect on one human body in this movie. The answer is; poorly. It's quite laughable actually. For certain shots they used an obvious (very) fake puppet head, that never gets shown from the front and for its close-ups it's basically the one guy standing very close behind the other guys back, to create the illusion of two heads on one body. This should pretty much sum up how this entire movie is being like. Silly, cheap, poorly done and just overall bad but you still can't help being amused by it all.No, it's not really a story with much good story and that also is really foremost its downfall. This movie could had still been a much better and more entertaining one if more was happening in it. Now the 'monster's rampage doesn't happen until far into the movie. It's all such a big waste and shame. Surely they could had come up with some more original and entertaining stuff than what they show in the eventual movie. They waste too much time with this movie by setting up its shallow characters and shaky plot, that is being filled with holes and inconsistencies.I also just love it how mentally challenged persons why behave like little kids in movies always wear dungarees. In this movie that isn't any different and he's constantly wearing the same sweater as well in this movie to complete things. I also just love how insane and over-the-top the smirking murderer is in this movie. Those two are the persons who get attached to one and the same body in this movie, so prepare yourself for lots of insane madness.The movie foremost sounds like a crazy B-monster movie from the '50's and for most part the movie is also really being that way but it it's actually an '70's movie, so it's still has lots of hints of the exploitation genre in it as well. The movie is not that bloody or gory but it still features plenty of killings and also some nudity. The camera-work and especially its editing are being quite experimental at times, which also makes it all the more apparent that you're watching an '70's movie here.Funny that somehow Bruce Dern ended up being in this mess, that foremost is still being a silly/bad fun one to watch.4/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

JoeytheBrit There's no doubting this is a very bad film by anyone's standards, but it isn't without some entertainment value. Bruce Dern – clearly on his uppers back in '71 – takes on the mad scientist role with such laid-back indifference to the part that his performance alone is worth the cost of the rental or purchase or ninety minutes of your life. Never will you see an actor so clearly embarrassed by the rubbish he has somehow found himself saddled with or trying so hard to appear invisible. Dern speaks each of his lines with a kind of preternatural calmness that leaves you wondering whether some underhand producer hasn't drugged him so that he believes he's floating through a dream. His character is assisted by Max (Berry Kroeger) who, quite frankly, is the creepiest thing in the film – like a strange uncle whose lap your mum warns you not to sit on when you're a kid… The plot follows the typical monster-movie template. Once again our monster is stitched together from people's body parts in a fortress-like laboratory to which access is denied to the good doctor's long-suffering wife (Pat Priest). But, unlike Frankenstein, this is no meditation on the dangers of man playing God, rather than a frank attempt to titillate undemanding teens. Of course, wifey can't resist having a peek in the lab and before you can say 'don't open the door!' she's opened the door and – well, I'm sure you can get the rest.The poor simpleton who has a maniacal killer's head grafted onto his neck (don't you hate it when that happens?) is something of a giant, and he's filmed from a low angle so that no money has to be spent on special effects. I'm sure Messrs Bloom and Cole must have been pretty close friends by the end of the shoot. Of course the killer quickly becomes the dominant partner and forces his neck-mate to embark on a killing spree. He lumbers around the countryside, chancing upon necking teenagers and wasted bikers who, for some reason, find it impossible to outrun him and, cackling wildly, summarily dispatches them for no apparent reason other than he's completely bonkers.The single moment of any worth in the film is the point at which director Anthony Lanza cuts away from the murder of the female biker, just as those brainless cackles are beginning to rise. It's a moment of restraint totally at odds with the rest of the movie.

mamamiasweetpeaches I actually saw this movie by accident. I thought it was the cult movie THE THING WITH TWO HEADS in which a white bigot gets his head attached to a black mans body and the proceed to dis and beat the hell out of eachother...while attached. Sadly INCREDIBLE 2-HEADED TRANSPLANT is nowhere near as entertaining...even on a so-bad-it good level. its just bad. very very bad. this movie was made in 1971, but it seems like it was made much earlier than that when you consider that A CLOCKWORK ORANGE was also made in 1971 and thats light years better than this piece o' crap. This movie stars Bruce Dern as a deranged scientist, Marilyn Munster (ha ha) as his wife and Casey kasem as his worried friend. This cast screams "CULT CLASSIC", but sadly it never pans out. Huge dumb farm boy Danny gets the head of an escaped mental patient gradted onto his huge lumbering body. of course the body wants to murder...and all Dannys head can do is shake "no" and look worried. The psycho head is a truly loathsome person....you wish danny would somehow commit suicide killin them both. i wouldnt recommend this movie to ANYONE. Not even if Mystery Science Theatre has a version.Theres no saving this repellant junk-fest. No stars.
