IMDB

A racist white doctor is furious when a black doctor is hired to his hospital. The doctor happens to be dying though, and is a master with the transplant. He has been secretly conductive transplanting the head of a gorrilla onto the body of another gorilla with a head-- making a two headed gorilla. What he wants to do is take his head and put it on another body.
His accomplices call around to prisons to get a person to donate their body to science. They find a donor, but it's not quite what the doctor had in mind. When he wakes up his head is on a black man's body. The donor is furious as he claims he was wrongfully imprisoned and this was his way to buy some more time. They go on the lam with the black doctor from earlier.
While the premise of the movie is amazing, the film falls very short. The opening drags on, when all you want to see is a black guy with two heads running around fucking people up. This basically never happens, although there is a 15 minute chase scene. I'd recommend that you just watch the trailer and call it a day.

4/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
