Trailer Trash XIV: The Thing With Two Heads (1972)

"They transplanted a white bigot's head onto a soul brother's body!"

And when that happens, y'all can guess that antics ensue. You'd like to think that this is one of those movie premises they only could have gotten away with making several decades ago, but that's not a true statement at all. If they were to shoot this now, it would probably just star Snoop Dogg and Rob Schneider.

The real star of the trailer you're about to watch is far and away the hilariously terrible costume. In 1972, special effects had not yet progressed past having two guys stand really, really close together and throwing an extra-large coat over them.

At 0:48 - Isn't his white head further back than it's supposed to be?
At 1:30 - Note the wicka-chicka-waka soundtrack. Yep, another movie from the 1970s.
