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

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.

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

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 👀

[@powergannon]

[@wiesejay]

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.

[@angelofverdun456]

Yeah… that’s why

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.

[@batbsbs9cjw]

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.

[@toothpastehombre]

That final line is some Jack Handy deep thoughts level wisdom. Poetry

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”

[@kaylamanor]

This is a fantastic channel. You’re really funny and these movies are insane

[@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).

[@soulxside]

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.

Dude! My grandpa was just telling me about this movie at Thanksgiving!

[@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.

[@america8706]

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

[@KillerQueensRyche]

No no - The Rock and Kevin Hart - Rocks head on Hart's body

[@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 😂

[@StatusNull]

"When you're watching cars smash into each other, you forget about racism" 🤣🤣

[@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 ?”

FUN FACT! The director of this film, Lee Frost, also directed the film The Black Gestapo, a film about a black paramilitary group/cult that adopts racist-inspired symbolism into their uniform in order to defend black people from racist cops. It’s as bad as it sounds, it doesn’t even have the good sense to be easy to make fun of. Lee Frost was a crummy exploitation film director, but he help kickstart a specific niche of exploitation films so that’s at least something.

"white or black the only time any of us really feel alive is when we're running from the police" 🤣FACTS

[@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.

[@Mullet-ZubazPants]

You really went through a ten minute synopsis (funny by the way) and not mention "the Black guy" is NFL great Rosey Grier? He's also notable for being present at the RFK assassination, even wrenching the gun from Sirhan Sirhan's hand
