this footage is the holy grail for all Monkee chronologists.......i think Rafelson/Nicholson/Schneider made a major mistake in deleting these scenes. The clips raise more QUESTIONS about the film than answers. I hope that the celluloid dropped on the editing floor is found again someday.......
Must have seen the film over 200 times. Was still not prepared for this CREEPY trailer. It gives me the chills. I swear to you there is something subliminal going on... I am repulsed but captivated. The movie is a masterpiece. The trailer is one step from a visit to the bowels of hell. Both are brilliant.
Yeah I guess it is a bit creepy. It sort of emphasizes the darkness that sort of hides under the surface in the film (as indeed, was present in most of their career). The fast paced editing and the way they use the dialog excerpts, along with the choice of shots (say, for instance, Mickey "drowning" during The Porpoise Song sequence) really adds to that effect. It's a shame the audience they were actually reaching for rejected Head without giving it a chance.
this is like the beatles' "revolution 9" from the white album, but with pictures included.

This is the only trailer I've ever seen that's comprised almost exclusively of bits that were not in the movie. Its brilliant.

I've seen Head probably 30 times and this was hard to watch---but cool too.

I remember watching the Monkees as a little kid, until my Dad would come home and change the channel to "Gunsmoke" or something like that!
Thanks for the clip !
