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! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYStdY2hgrWleq8

Do *Watermellon Man* next.

[@aaaaaaaaaaron92]

I love these old black and white horror movies!

[@thisagedgreat]

Ha!

[@TayWoode]

And remember you have to find old black and white cartoons or photos creepy, or basically any toys made before 2000

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.

[@thisagedgreat]

Wow! What a guy.

[@CorbCorbin]

@@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.

[@rustybarrel516]

@@CorbCorbin My mom talked me into trying embroidery when I was 10 by telling me about him. 😂

[@RawOlympia]

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.

[@CorbCorbin]

@@rustybarrel516 No way! Crazy.

[@gnarwhal7562]

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

[@mrmusickhimself]

I was just about to comment on that, the soundtrack is AMAZING

Noice!

Definitely a key mass contribution once you explain it 😎. Respect+

[@k3n0ju]

OMG, you mean to tell me this movie actually existed and it wasn't a fever dream I had when I was 5?!? 😂😂😂

[@ncapone87]

Even James Bond movies in the 70s had wacky police chases. Live and Let Die comes to mind

[@captainobvious9188]

First thing that came to mind! That chase was fantastic!

[@tprime2702]

"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. 😂

"Karate in the rain." lmao.

[@agrandcanyonoffucksgiven2776]

LOL, I knew it was coming, and it still hit me by surprise.

[@ratedr8490]

Now I got the joke on the Venture brothers cartoon.

My favorite show

[@revolvertaco7493]

Best show.

[@joshclark389]

"I told you this isn't a costume party-buts it's a Halloween party-it's not THAT kind of party ."

[@sawtooth808]

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 👀

[@shootingblueyes]

Great joke, not very smart to choose to be a nazi though

[@raywallacefan7786]

Most movies have one of the main characters go through some sort of arc. This is the Seinfeld of movies: No hugging! No learning!

[@michaeledwards6683]

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

[@Supreme2k]

They remade this movie. They called it "Get Out".

[@trxsh_oc]

↑ came to say this haha

[@CorbCorbin]

This would be a great remake, with Chevy Chase and Donald Glover, with Glover writing/directing, Chevy just being himself. 😄

[@pseudotasuki]

You've accidentally stumbled across the plot of "…and a movie".

[@ytbot9731]

I can't even tell you how much I'd love to see that!

[@rippindickys]

Nailed it!

[@fatalshore5068]

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.

[@nickTeeKaystrickland]

No. God no. Hell no. Just no.

[@powergannon]

This sounds like Karl Pilkington’s idea for a movie. Absolutely incredible

[@wiesejay]

They can’t make this movie today, because they wrecked all the 1970’s cop cars that the studio owned

[@RictusHolloweye]

The ones that survived this movie were taken out by The Blues Brothers.

[@angelofverdun456]

Yeah… that’s why

[@america8706]

They should remake this movie starring The Rock and Chris Pratt.

[@asahelnettleton9044]

I finally understand the MST3K riff, "I'm going to attach your head to Rosey Grier's shoulder."

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.

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.

[@robmann400]

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.

[@thisagedgreat]

Thanks for watching! That is an amazing list of films.

[@reprintranch]

Panic in Year Zero still packs a wallop.

[@pweverka]

Milland won an Oscar for Best Actor in “The Lost Weekend”

[@niz5000]

that outro gets me every time. that's the theme song? 🤣

[@Solidheater]

"Just stop believing it" "No cut my head off!"

[@slakemanson5238]

They should just do a remake called "Black Man, White Head"

[@mikeweber3685]

Or "Ebony and Ivory".

[@null6634]

Soul Man 2! ...Soul Men

[@angelofverdun456]

Black Man, White Head can be viewed on most adult sites

[@ahmaudarberywasaviolentkle8094]

I saw the first half of this on Elvira's Movie Macabre. I waited like 20 years to see how it ends.

[@TayWoode]

This is described apparently as a blaxploitation science fiction comedy film. That’s a genre I didn’t know existed 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@jodi2847]

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?"

[@solomoon3083]

Bruh! This had me in TEARS!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@m.malina6797]

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).

[@nickTeeKaystrickland]

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 😂

[@ec8687]

As a kidney transplant patient I too have a two headed doctor lol

[@liamphillips7315]

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?

[@danieldrkness7489]

Never heard of this film but you nailed it with the synopsis

[@ChrisMustard]

Dying of racism 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂 you fucking guys hahahaha

[@chrispartin4549]

One if the best movies ever.

[@sawtooth808]

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 ?”

[@bassman8144]

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!”

[@Spanishman1000]

It's Red Mantle and Dragoon

Funnily Enough, this plot is now a character on the DC Animated Sitcom "Kite-Man ": Hell Yeah"

Thank you! We’re excited about them.

[@bdawk511]

Basically the setup of "The Knick" 😂😂

[@ericheckenkamp6091]

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.

[@indydude3367]

A good example of drive-in style car chase flicks would be Dirty Mary Crazy Larry (1974).

[@TheJacklikesvideos]

i think of 1974's Gone in 60 Seconds

[@STho205]

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.

[@CorbCorbin]

Big Jack is innocent! Nice. I wondered if you’d include that bit. I don’t know why I remember that, or this movie, because of that.

[@anabltc]

6:06 true!! edit, suggestions: Watermelon Man (1970) American comedy film, Melvin Van Peebles an extremely bigoted 1960s-era white insurance salesman wakes up one morning to find that he has become black How to Get Ahead in Advertising (1989) British black comedy, Bruce Robinson an advertising executive has a nervous breakdown and finds a talking boil growing on his shoulder, a manifestation of the cynical and unscrupulous side of his personality

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!

Can we talk about that amazing car at 6:01 what is it!?

[@metube1696]

This is where Get Out got all its ideas from

[@DIOBrando-ij2bp]

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.

[@joeylasagna7603]

I bought the movie poster to this when I was a kid Haha!

[@lougon9088]

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.

[@SGTDave]

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.

[@siukong]

They're not understating it. The chase scene just keeps. on. going. It's utter chaos.

[@PsychicRefugee]

Any hope for women's sizes/cuts on the shirts? A babydoll version would be incredible!

[@mikeweber3685]

I initially thought this was about another two-headed movie and wondered why I didn't remember seeing any police car chases in it.

[@DJCroBar]

I'm thinkin...Clive Warren

[@tuc_mage]

funnily enough this move came out in 1972 whereas dukes of hazzard cam out in 1979, i thought then that maybe smokey and the bandit were the inspiration for wanton smashing of police cars, but smokey came out in 1977. I did some googling and found a movie named Vanishing Point from 1971 that looks like its just a movie about a guy evading police. Wondering if anyone else has any insight into tracking down the origin of this trend.

[@thisagedgreat]

I’m not sure but I think people tend to point to the car chase scenes in The French Connection as being revolutionary and that was 1971.

[@mattgray5311]

An idea for the video titles if you would like to hear me out. Just remove the episode count. Makes the viewer (anecdotally) feel like this is part of a series in regards to this particular film, and the viewer is like oh how many do I have to watch to catch up, when really the episode count just means globally how many episodes you have done for all films. The following sounds better (to me) : This aged great! The thing with two heads Feels like it would get a better click through rate? Merely a suggestion. As I have mentioned before you have a great niche and it's awesome 🎉

[@thisagedgreat]

This is a great suggestion! We’re probably going to take your advice.
