The Boy with Two Heads

I saw this when I was a child in Blackpool, England around 6 years old maybe younger so around 1984/85. It was a series that was shown in the cinema before the main attraction. If memory serves me it was on before the Dark Crystal. It seems to have been shown in the cinema well into the 80's. Anyway I went to the cinema with my dad and brother and when this came on I was happy eating my goodies until the head appeared. I never screamed so much and I wouldn't stop. We had to leave the cinema as I was uncontrollable I was freaking out. To be honest I was traumatized for a few years. My brother remembers me being inconsolable for days. I used to have crazy nightmares about it rolling on the ground towards me in my bed.

To be honest I'd absolutely love to see it again to confront my demons.

Me and my sister can still sing the theme tune never forgot it. Used to watch this at the Saturday morning pictures.

Cannot remember in detail too much more but remember Chico with eyes that moved and just his head in the box talking and the children. Would be good to see this again its been years. Great memories of childhood in the 70s, is this out on DVD in the UK English version? Also not sure if anyone else remembers at the same time the show regarding the alien dragon with the space ship which was invisible and the start of the pictures with all the pigeons in London flying around the fountain.

Bring all these shows back.

I saw this film as a young kid and thoroughly enjoyed it! not much else i can say but it was a long time ago at the pictures!

I Have always remembered this film even though i am 42 years old now!

lance Percival has a funny look and is suited to comedy movies even though i have mostly seen

him on chat shows of the like!

On the carry on films, he was quite funny, strange as it may seem , i always remembered him for the roll in this film, and the name was different at the pictures!

It was in fact called Chico

This show totally freaked me out! I probably saw a ten-minute portion of a single episode, and that's all it took to scar me for life. That very night (I was probably 7 or 8 y/o) I couldn't sleep. I told my mommy that I just couldn't get that hideous head out of mine. In the show, a couple of kids had befriended a talking head that they kept in a shoebox. The head looked like the decapitation of "El Jefe" from The Three Amigos. ¡Ay Carramba! I don't really think about it often. I was just watching The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which reminded me of Chico the Rainmaker. (The way the President of the Universe flopped his head backward sparked the memory.) So, I decided to Google "chico rainmaker," and yadda yadda yadda, here I am sharing my pain.

"Chico, the rainmaker... Chico, the rainmaker..." I wonder how many other children were traumatized by this production.

I last saw this about twenty years ago as a cinema serial series, and loved every minute of it. If memory serves, a young boy discovers the enchanted head of an ancient rainmaker in a box, and as this is a talking head with magical powers, they become great friends(!). You'd think this would be the stuff of nightmares to young kids, but it's actually quite charming. Various villains see the money-making potential of the head and pursue the boy through a series of cliffhanger adventures. I also recall various spells the head could conjure up (while his eyes did a little jig), and the fact that you were invited to sing the theme song over the closing credits. Altogether now - "Chico-banna-walla - wanna make-a the rain!!!" Great stuff, I'd love to see it again!
