American International Pictures quickly followed its 1971 feature, The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant, with a new angle for the emerging Blaxploitation market, summed up in the tagline “They transplanted a WHITE BIGOT’S HEAD onto a SOUL BROTHER’S BODY!” In Lee Frost’s The Thing with Two Heads, white transplant surgeon Dr. Maxwell Kirshner and African-American convict Jack Moss go on the run together after Kirshner, faced with inoperable cancer, grafts his head onto Moss’ body.
