Grier and Milland (the two heads on Rosey's body, remember) show up at Grier's girlfriend's apartment in search of refuge from the cops: Grier: (noticing his gal's shock at seeing his 2-headed condition) "Don't worry baby, I won't hurt you." Girlfriend (looking unsure): "You get into more s***."
The whole film is like this. HIGH-larious. No one could do this on purpose, and that's what makes this 1970's classic such a fantastic find.
Totally ridiculous AIP movie which bears a more than passing resemblance to 1971's "Incredible Two-Headed Transplant". This movie doesn't take itself too seriously (how could it?) which helps--but only so much.
With the exception of Milland the acting is lousy and the script has howlers that you just can't believe (ex: when Grier's girlfriend first sees him with Milland's head she says, "Honey, I know you don't like answering questions, but HOW did this happen?"). Basically this is a very bad movie but in a good way. The scenes of Milland and Grier arguing are truly funny and there's a very long (at least 20 minutes) but fun chase with tons of police cars chasing Grier/Milland on a motorcycle. Not even remotely good but fun.
Another great line from Grier's girlfriend: "Do you have two of anything else?"

- ErroresIt appears that more than Kirschner's head was transplanted to Moss's body. If smoke is breathed in by one head and exhaled by the other, there must be some connection to the lungs. If Kirschner is talking, he must have a voice box. Could both talk at the same time? In spite of the science jargon, there is no evidence that anything but the head was transplanted.

Lila: Get some sleep, baby, I'll wake you once dinner's ready.
Jack Moss: Let's just stay here a little while.
Lila: Now come on, honey, I got to start dinner.
Jack Moss: You don't have to start now, why don't you start it later?
Lila: [hesitant] Oh come on Jack, I... I
[she glances at Kirshner]
Jack Moss: Is he bothering you? I'll cover his head with a pillowcase.
Dr. Maxwell Kirshner: [with disgust] You must be joking! Is that all you people think about?
Lila: [with disgust] It's no use honey, maybe when I get used to it.
[walks off]
Jack Moss: [turns to Kirshner] Now you know you got to go!
