I had to send you this song by Scatterbrain that relates to this video, it's called 'I'm with stupid' and may very well be inspired by this film....depending on the year. Great band, oh and your videos are great! ua-cam.com/video/kSJDZkMPrDM/v-deo.html
The convict was played by Roosevelt (“Rosey”) Grier, who was a Pro Bowl tackle who played for the Giants and Rams in the 50s and 60s. He became an ordained minister and gained fame with a wider audience by taking up needlepoint. If that wasn’t enough, he subdued RFK Sr’s assassin (Sirhan Sirhan) while guarding Ethyl Kennedy during the 1968 presidential campaign. He is 92 and lives in San Diego.
@@rustybarrel516 Damn! I knew he was a football player, but i had never heard about the rest. That’s a life and a half of cool stuff. I have to say, that your mention of him, gaining fame with a wider audience, by taking up needlepoint, it made me chuckle really hard. I googled, and his there it is, Gentle Giant, Rosey Grier’s Needlepoint For Men, 1973.
Wow! Met him as a child when I got lost at Martin Luther King's funeral march. Robert Kennedy saw me, I was one of the few white people there and a child. He hoisted me up to look for my parents. My mother said Rosie Grier was with him and angry, he felt he was being a target in the crowd and putting a child on his shoulders just made it worse. But I will always appreciate him and remember it very well for being five. But it was a very dramatic day burned into my memory until he left, down a side street, as the secret service rounded him up and into a limo I saw parked in a grocer's parking lot. Wow, Rosie Grier is still alive, how wonderful to hear.
Fun Fact: this movie inadvertently gave birth to the genre of Hip-Hop/Rap. The film's soundtrack, "Bongo Rock", was done by The Incredible Bongo Band, and the opening song from the album "Apache" was sampled by DJ Kool Herc on August 11, 1973 at a back-to-school block party in NYC; (widely considered to be the party that gave birth to the entire genre). The song has since been sampled by numerous rappers including Grandmaster Flash, MC Hammer, LL Cool J, the Roots, Nas, Busta Rhymes, JAY-Z, etc. The channel Digging the Greats has an excellent video about this
pretty common trope in the 70’s: characters just being people we experience vetting themselves for a while, not in a lazy way but in a way that actually pretty artistically fulfilling
One of the newer Masters of the Universe cartoons used a lot of the jokes from this movie with the character Two Bad (a two headed monster character) especially where other head uses the person’s hand to poke the person’s eyes 👀
Abed being the dcotor trying to save the situation, or just being a mad scientist, that works too. Jeff trying to manipulate it to his advantage somehow, Britta just banging on about the racism aspect. Annie as the love interest, and Shirley saving the day. Done.
As well as being a successful big shot leading man back in the day, Ray Milland was in a lot of very entertaining horror and cult films, which are of course, less critically acclaimed than his early best films. Milland was very practical about work after becoming an older actor. He took on a lot of roles that a more prudish thespian would not have even considered, and since he was such a great actor, his presence in any film always elevated whatever two-headed type nonsense it was to some degree. Some of Milland’s lesser films that I very much enjoy are: The Uncanny, Frogs, The Attic, The Premature Burial, X : The Man With X-ray Eyes, Panic In Year Zero!, Terror In The Wax Museum, Blackout, and The House In Nightmare Park (which is both a terrible place to build a house, and a horrible name for a park). Thanks for making videos eh.
You guys forgot to add one of the funniest parts of the movie, where the accused person’s significant other meets the accused person who now has the old white guy’s head attached to him. The guy’s girlfriend gives a bewildered look and says “Do you have two of anything else on you ?”
If you find the trailer on youtube, it starts with the immortal line, "It seemed like a good idea at the time..." Which could also be the tagline for this channel.
There are those uncovered gems of nostalgia that are gifts from the gods. And then there's The Thing with Two Heads which is the kind of movie you find on accident at "Everything's a Dollar". Initially, I was wondering where Steve Martin was (and I realized I was thinking of The Man with Two Brains).
This could give a person an existential crisis! Could he get a gig as a diversity hire or not!? Or would he be twice as cancelled? Would they get equal pay? WTF?
I watched this as a kid after asking my dad about the joke at the end of The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episode where Burns has Smithers sew his head onto Homers. He told me about this flick and we rented it and watched it the following weekend. Memories😁 “I hate having two heads!”
Binged this channel. Can’t wait to see more. I know it’s really recent, but I thought of you when revisiting “That’s My Boy.” Adam Sandler movies age like milk.
@RyantheGiant2806 so we are actually part of a very private club...like a guild...of calamitous intent?! That's cool cuz my only skills are brick throwing and frog being
Have you seen the trailer? It's hilarious! "It seemed like a good idea at the time... who would've suspected that neither would care for the idea too much?"
This movie looks absolutely insane. They needed a huge strong man to carry an old white guy strapped to his back. All the scenes the 2 headed "person" stands so awkwardly all the time to keep the "illusion" going 😂
I gotta correct you. The Dukes of Hazzard was mostly an early 80s thing. This was all a leftover from the popularity of Bullitt and chase films. Smokey and the Bandit revived that in 77, and then the Dukes of Hazzard did it on a small screen budget.
Have you ever considered 1977 Smokey and the Bandit ..and Star Wars are very similar movies except one's a comedy. A hot shot driver, a smuggler with a furry copilot rescue a girl from an evil sheriff....and a lot of stuff crashes.
Wow, I know it dates me but I almost forgot about this movie. Last time seeing or hearing about it is when I watched it back when it premiered, lol. :)

Born in the 60s, and I forgot how racists television use to be. The look of racism in his eyes...priceless! And the guy on death row, looks like Rosy Grier. I love the commentary, this had me cracking up! Thanks for posting this. Sooo funny!
The movie that tried to symbolize the horror of racism with literal races. Because nothing represents the injustice of a black man falsely convicted of murder than a cracked axle on a 1972 Dodge Polara.
Yeah, it’s like The Dukes of Hazzard yet this movie came out in 1972, and the Dukes of Hazzard series came out in 1979. Which makes this movie way ahead of its time.
OMG. 😮 I saw this movie as a kid, only once. I'm 54 years old now. I just can't stop laughing as you are laughing. Your commentary is great. Seeing this after all these years, is kinda weird for me but funny as f@ck.
You should do The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant too. If you do watch it, keep it mind it was a movie that was made by the exact same studio, (AIP) and released just the year before The Thing with Two Heads.

"Black or white the only time any of us really feel alive is when we're running from the police" 😂
I love these old black and white horror movies!
Ha!
And remember you have to find old black and white cartoons or photos creepy, or basically any toys made before 2000
Ha
Brilliant.

I was just about to comment on that, the soundtrack is AMAZING
Noice!
Definitely a key mass contribution once you explain it 😎. Respect+
really? i thought it was invented by renowned pedo africa bambaataa
OMG, you mean to tell me this movie actually existed and it wasn't a fever dream I had when I was 5?!? 😂😂😂
I was thinking the same thing 😂😂
No no, they just did a review of your fever dream.
"Karate in the rain." lmao.
LOL, I knew it was coming, and it still hit me by surprise.
I finally understand the MST3K riff, "I'm going to attach your head to Rosey Grier's shoulder."
Same!
"He was racist"... followed by maniacal laughter.
7:17 😂😂😂😂 "Karate in the rain".... The delivery, the bass of it all❤😂YESS
"Just stop believing it"
"No cut my head off!"
“Answer…demolition derby.”🤣🤣🤣🤣
"According to this X-Ray, you're racist as shit!?"
I'm a nurse and I laughed so hard I pooped myself and had to go home from my shift. 😂
IBS huh
no you didn't.
Movie ending: yeah we did it! ...what did we do?! 😂
Most movies have one of the main characters go through some sort of arc. This is the Seinfeld of movies: No hugging! No learning!
pretty common trope in the 70’s: characters just being people we experience vetting themselves for a while, not in a lazy way but in a way that actually pretty artistically fulfilling
Even James Bond movies in the 70s had wacky police chases. Live and Let Die comes to mind
First thing that came to mind! That chase was fantastic!
Now I got the joke on the Venture brothers cartoon.
My favorite show
Best show.
"I told you this isn't a costume party-buts it's a Halloween party-it's not THAT kind of party ."
One of the newer Masters of the Universe cartoons used a lot of the jokes from this movie with the character Two Bad (a two headed monster character) especially where other head uses the person’s hand to
poke the person’s eyes 👀
Great joke, not very smart to choose to be a nazi though
They can’t make this movie today, because they wrecked all the 1970’s cop cars that the studio owned
The ones that survived this movie were taken out by The Blues Brothers.
Yeah… that’s why
@@angelofverdun456 yes
They remade this movie. They called it "Get Out".
↑ came to say this haha
This sounds like Karl Pilkington’s idea for a movie. Absolutely incredible
That final line is some Jack Handy deep thoughts level wisdom. Poetry
Yeah, I remember this "golden oldie". The premise was so ridiculous, not even kid me would watch it.😆
This would be a great remake, with Chevy Chase and Donald Glover, with Glover writing/directing, Chevy just being himself. 😄
You've accidentally stumbled across the plot of "…and a movie".
I can't even tell you how much I'd love to see that!
Nailed it!

This movie ended racism.
When they to pee in the bathroom..who held the smaeckel ???
that outro gets me every time. that's the theme song? 🤣
Bruh! This had me in TEARS!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"When you're watching cars smash into each other, you forget about racism" 🤣🤣
They should just do a remake called "Black Man, White Head"
Or "Ebony and Ivory".
Soul Man 2!
...Soul Men
Black Man, White Head can be viewed on most adult sites
This is described apparently as a blaxploitation science fiction comedy film.
That’s a genre I didn’t know existed 🤷🏾♂️
There are those uncovered gems of nostalgia that are gifts from the gods.
And then there's The Thing with Two Heads which is the kind of movie you find on accident at "Everything's a Dollar".
Initially, I was wondering where Steve Martin was (and I realized I was thinking of The Man with Two Brains).
I predict great things for this channel. I wish I had social media... or even just friends I could share this with. Good luck to you
I remember when Red Mantle and Dragoon dressed alas them form Halloween
"What if he was dying of Racism--just stop--No!!"😂🤣😅😆😂
Who ever said "two heads are better than one." The past was doin' it's best! Thanks for watching this one so I don't have to.
Just realized that this movie is a Karl Pilkington movie. Haha.
As a kidney transplant patient I too have a two headed doctor lol
Dying of racism 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂 you fucking guys hahahaha
What a beautiful message! 😆

One head was African American and one head was Scottish.
*Half of him wanted to get drunk but the other half didn't wanna pay for it*

Dude! My grandpa was just telling me about this movie at Thanksgiving!
Funnily Enough, this plot is now a character on the DC Animated Sitcom "Kite-Man ": Hell Yeah"
They should remake this movie starring The Rock and Chris Pratt.
No no - The Rock and Kevin Hart - Rocks head on Hart's body
Love the TAG shirt!
Thank you! We’re excited about them.
i remember watching this movie at the drive in when i was kid... it was so stupid but we were all so drunk ... we all totally laughed our butts off
You were a kid... but you were all so drunk???
@@rodjacksonx ha !... yeah, back in the day (the 70s) life was a lot different...
It's Red Mantle and Dragoon

A good example of drive-in style car chase flicks would be Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (1974).
i think of 1974's Gone in 60 Seconds
Have you ever considered 1977 Smokey and the Bandit ..and Star Wars are very similar movies except one's a comedy.
A hot shot driver, a smuggler with a furry copilot rescue a girl from an evil sheriff....and a lot of stuff crashes.
One if the best movies ever.
It’s the 70’s too soon to solve racism we just want to acknowledge it 😂
Also Blues Brothers was the most famous police chase wrecking movie ever from this Era.
I saw the first half of this on Elvira's Movie Macabre. I waited like 20 years to see how it ends.
I lost it at "I'll show you Norwegians" that was very Russel Crow from South Park
Basically the setup of "The Knick" 😂😂
Sheer brilliance! (Both the original movie, which I saw as a kid, and this T.A.G. video!)
Thank you!
