The Thing with Two Heads

A darkly comedic tale of racial tension and scientific hubris unfolds in "The Thing with Two Heads," a 1972 American sci-fi comedy film directed by Lee Frost. A wealthy racist dies and bequeaths his brain to a black man on death row, leading to a twisted experiment where the donor's head is transplanted onto a gorilla, then eventually a human body, in an attempt to cheat death. As chaos ensues and the two heads struggle for control, themes of racism and bigotry are expertly subverted, adding depth to this outrageous and entertaining film.
