Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

tavm I must reveal the last line of this pretty bad movie: "Too much imagination can destroy a man, deputy." So says Casey Kasem-yes, the recently retired "King of the Countdowns" himself. Not enough, apparently, made this picture not too exciting. I mean, all the fights between the two-headed retarded man-boy/not-so-deceased rapist are clumsily staged especially between that motorcycle gang that didn't seem so tough, now did they? And what is Bruce Dern, who was just getting associated with Jack Nicholson and would eventually make movies with Alfred Hitchcock and Jane Fonda, doing here still working for AIP? At least Pat "Marilyn Munster" Priest is good for some eye candy and damsel-in-distress excitement! Oh, and besides playing a doctor, Kasem also is on the car radio reading the news. Personally, I think I would have preferred to hear him doing his recently-started "American Top 40" show here as a plug, maybe with that show's first No. 1: Three Dog Night's "Mama Told Me Not to Come"! And that diabetes-inducing theme song at the beginning and end just calls for an "MST3K" Joel/Mike and the bots riffing treatment! I've said enough so on that note, The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant should provide enough cheezy fun for anyone in the mood for these late night drive-in fodder.

JasparLamarCrabb If you had TWO heads, you'd be scratching them both trying to figure out why Bruce Dern is in this garbage. He plays a deranged doctor who, after transplanting a second head onto a monkey, a fox, a snake and other animals, decides to graft the head of a sex maniac onto the body of an idiot man child. Bad call. Poorly directed, to say the least, poorly photographed and with an unbelievably inappropriate music score, this makes THE THING WITH TWO HEADS look tolerable...that nonsense at least had delusions of social grandeur by casting actors of different races as the hapless twosome. With Casey Kasem (wearing shirts with some of the biggest collars imaginable) and Pat Priest as Dern's wife. This surely put an end to her post-MUNSTERS movie career.

Michael_Elliott The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant (1971) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Roger (Bruce Dern) is a doctor doing experiments on animals. He is putting two heads on a single body and he finally gets his chance to do it with humans when a large but mentally challenged man becomes available as a subject but he puts the head of a killer on him and soon the monster is running loose.THE INCREDIBLE 2-HEADED TRANSPLANT was the type of film that AIP was turning out to drive-ins back in the day when this type of exploitation was grand. As with a lot of drive-in films, the most important thing was a great title and there's no question that this film has that. With that said, there really isn't too much exploitation here and it's a tad bit too dry for its own good.Apparently the mad scientist role was originally meant for someone like Vincent Price but the role went to Dern instead. Dern is certainly a very good actor and he gives a good performance here but he plays it so serious and straight that it just doesn't added enough entertainment value for the type of film it is. The performance was more for a serious medical drama than a drive-in "B" picture. Casey Kasem was fun to see in his role and we also got Gary Kent, Pat Priest and Albert Cole.The film is certainly mildly entertaining and the two-headed monster has an interesting look to it. The film is worth watching but at the same time there's no question that it falls well short of being a good movie. It also got outdone by the following year's THE THING WITH TWO HEADS.

BaronBl00d A maniacal killer's head is fused to the lumbering, gargantuan body of a man with the mind of a small child by a scientist who just happens to specialize in fusing two-headed creatures in his spare time. Why? He says to show everyone what a genius he is. Why on Earth would anyone want to create a monster with two heads - neither containing the brain of anything remotely resembling worthiness? Such is the premise in this bizarre, fascinating, and God awful film made in 1971. Bruce Dern plays the "mad" scientist with decided disinterest. Can you blame him? He strolls around with drink in hand and never shows any real depth of character. By the film's end, his performance just caves in. The two-headed monstrosity, which battles bikers on bikes wielding chains and has a cumulative IQ of 60, is a true sight of ineptitude to behold. John Bloom, who would later get an even worse role as Frankenstein's Monster in Al Adamson's horrendous opus Dracula Vs. Frankenstein, plays Danny - a hulking man that lost his mind when he was left for dead in a mine shaft years ago. Now an adult, Danny is dutiful to his father, is treated like a mental defective by all concerned, and sweats a lot. The head of Albert Cole, a man who we see leering or laughing with crazy glee, is attached when Cole tries to rape Dern's wife(more on her in a minute) and kills Danny's father. Dern and his limp-wristed former surgeon assistant(Barry Kroeger) feel the time is right to make a two-headed freak with the body of Cole at their disposal and the mentally deficient Danny just there. This movie is a real hoot to sit through as every minute in bad - bad but fun. The story stinks. Director Anthony Lanza has little savvy. The production values virtually non-existent(although the head thing looks better here then some of the other two--headed monsters of the same era). Acting? What acting? C'mon - Casey Kasem as a doctor/hero? Dern looks like he lost a bet and had to be in the picture. Cole is annoyingly disgusting and ridiculous. Bloom is okay at best. But I really liked Pat Priest as Dern's wife. She sure didn't give a great performance, but she made a believer out of me as she fainted(several times), ran from crazy Cole, lounged in a chair by the pool, laid in bed either of her own accord or bound and gagged, and finally was tied and put in a cage in the lab - all in either a bikini, a small nightie, or some other light attire that showcased her attributes, the brightest things about this dreadful dreck. This movie is very, very bad, and I must confess I loved every minute of it. I laughed and laughed and laughed. Just hearing that soundtrack where every beat foreshadows something suspenseful will happen and rarely does. Or how about the dialog used in the picture? Whew! This is one of the all-time great of le bad cinema.
