Product Description:
INCREDIBLE TWO- HEADED TRANSPLANT: The saying two heads are better than one is usually true...unless one is the head of a crazed scientist and the other is the head he has transplanted onto the body of a huge (both in size and intellect) dimwit. But things go awry when the lumbering beast escapes his creator and goes on a kill-crazy rampage!
THE THING WITH TWO HEADS: When an incredibly rich racist (Ray Milland) discovers that he's dying, he decides to have his head transplanted onto another body, but his health slips away too fast for him to make any concrete plans. When he wakes up, he's a little irked that his bigoted head has been sewn onto the body of a black death-row inmate, played by the inimitable Rosey Grier (the famous football player who enjoys knitting). THE THING WITH TWO HEADS is the camp classic to end all camp classics, an uproarious film that has a large, dedicated cult fan base. The special effects team even includes a very young Rick Baker, who went on to revolutionize the use of SFX in film. While not exactly THE DEFIANT ONES or IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT, this surreal, absurd, impossible-not-to-love film hits 1970s racism right on the head--er, or is that heads?--leaving willing audiences with an unforgettable cinematic experience.

A face only a mother could love . . .
Movie Lover: Benjamin from Knoxville, TN US -- April, 6, 2009
You must love bad movies to understand why I would give this double feature five stars.
If you REALLY love bad movies, you'll understand why I would give it TEN if possible.
This set is the definitive Two headed, surgical disaster movie.
Of the two I would have to argue that "incredible" is the best (or worst) of the two and provides far more laugh material, but "thing" has it's moments as well - especially the credit sequence at the end, well worth the hour and a half it takes to get there.
I bought multiple copies of this DVD so that I wouldn't be the only one watching them, alone in the dark, or subjecting my friends to the horrors of bad-movie tuesdays.
If you love bad movies, this set is for you.
