Torgo....................... ?Have you seen this one? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This one should be right up your alley!

1971-A wealthy scientist has the money and talent to fuse the head of his caretaker’s son and a psycho killer, so why not? Oh, because it will make a bad movie. While watching the film, you realize what else you could be doing with your time – like watching paint dry. The two-headed creature looked like two actors taped together, and it couldn’t do many things including running. It wasn’t scary. It was just bad.

It can't be all bad. Bruce Dern is in it!

Yes! I have seen it.. I love cheesy weird 70's flicks, but this one was indeed boring. Bruce Dern was probably the best part!

I own it on DVD as a double feature with The Thing With Two Heads which starred Ray Milland and Rosie Grier.

The Thing With Two Heads : Doctors are forced to transplant the head of a dying, racist surgeon onto the body of a black death row inmate.
This one wasn't too bad, it's from the same writers as Race With The Devil.

I figured you had seen that movie. A double feature! Wow! There were a lot of classic movies from the 70's!

I had heard of The Thing With Two Heads
but I've never seen it.(unfortunately?)but not the other one! Was this a trend?

Who hasn't seen that one?

Take a look at the original poster. It's rated GP, not PG. Originally the rating was M for mature, then changed to GP, and finally changed to PG.

That poster, for 'Transplant', failed to include Larry Vincent, aka one of my favorite horror hosts,

What was the other one? I'm pretty sure (as far as I know) that they're were only 2 with that plot, at least released around that time.

There were some great horror classics, but also some great weird oddities, films like The Baby, Criminally Insane aka Crazy Fat Ethel, Death Bed: The Bed That Eats, and of course films from David Cronenberg, David Lynch, John Waters.

I meant I had never seen The Things With Two Heads.
