http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069372/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1Bigoted racist surgeon Ray Milland has his head transplanted onto death row inmate Roosevelt Grier's body, with the idea of removing Rosie's original head later. At first he's happy about how strong the body feels, but then he holds a hand up and gets a look at it....
Later, Rosie escapes from the hospital with Ray's head on his shoulder, leads the cops on a long motorcycle chase smashing up at least a dozen police cars, and winds up at his girl friend's house. She answers the door, takes one look at him/them, and utters the unforgettable line:
"You get into more s----. Have you got two of anything else?"
They don't make 'em like that any more.
Then there's Robert Heinlein's 1970 brain transplant novel, "I Will Fear No Evil," in which an old man's brain is put into the body of his voluptuous secretary. I wouldn't make stuff like this up.
