Name those movies

[sci_starborne]

I have vague memories of a movie I watched late at night a long time ago. Maybe 15 years or more. It’s bugging me because I have no idea what it was called, or what it was supposed to be about.

I remember it was set in a hospital or lab of some sort, and was essentially a horror movie. It might even have been a 1970s british horror movie. I remember there was an obsession with brains in it.

Early on in it a doctor is slicing up a brain, talking about it, then puts the bits in a blender, makes a milkshake from it and drinks it, explaining only a brain has all the bits in it to fuel another brain.

Later on the “good guy” gets killed, only one of the doctors projects is to build a human being, frankenstein style, so uses the good guys head. The operation works, the creation rises, the doctor leans in.. and the guy bites him. Much flailing until they can pull the freshly sewn-on head off the body.

The closing scene of the movie had them wheeling out their prize project to an audience of important folks.. a huge artificial brain. Pulsating with internal light and the size of a beach-ball, the disembodied brain had it’s own monologue explaining how the next generation of it would be smaller and smarter, over and over until a brain would fit on a silicon chip.

And that’s all I remember.

There was another movie I can only recall from it being set, I think, in Veitnam. Troops smoking drugs in someones house, one suddenly getting the helment of an Imperial Stormtrooper from Star Wars, then getting the female character to strip and keep going until she takes a knife to herself and goes to start peeling her skin off too. But I turned that one off at that point because it was a bit much for early-teen me.

Anyone recognise them from that?

Anyway, now it’s out of my head I can go to sleep.
