Well, shoot. I was hoping Ray would have a breakthrough, stop being racist and the two heads would become buddies. I guess I'm just an incurable optimist.
Or you're just slightly too young to grok this film's depressing ethos. Now if this movie had been made in the 80s? Absolutely, the bigot head and the black head would become buddies, and probably cops. But not in the 70s. Nope, that was the heyday of downbeat, faintly ironic endings that felt filched from a Night Gallery episode.
I actually saw this movie. Very funny review- until someone puts an eye out.
PS- if Jan in the pan was added to the mix, we could have had a ménage à tête.
"ménage à tête" deserves to go on the poster.
OMG! I saw this on Svengoolie! Now, I have to write my own parody review. Eventually.
Won't be the equal of yours, but you've had more experience.
You wrote the book! :)
That does give me an unfair advantage, but I'm sure yours will be sublime. I'm a big fan of your reviews.
Well, I'm chuffed. :)
That's high praise in my book! :)

"The Two Headed Cop! Double the brainpower, double the crime solving rate!" I would watch that!
<<Unsurprisingly, everybody agrees they should cut Ray off and just pretend he was a melanoma. Or a foreskin.>>
Don't tell Andrew or we'll have another Mohel War.
<<Ask Me About My Grandchildren>>
OK.
About your grand children?
Just about.
Grand!
Now, you mentioned sister film, which begs the question, "Were there sequels?"
Like Three Head? Forehead? Fivehead?
There was head to be had, and it got so bad you'd often see duels between dual-headed ghouls.
Burma Shave.
If you watched it in 3D, you'd need noggin goggles.
The mind boggles.
Noggin bobbing?
What? Oh, sorry, got distracted. Grandma needs her bobbin so I had to borrow Bob's toboggan.
Slogging with the forgotten cotton through the land of Jotun?
