Aborted Arc: Jack never gets a chance to clear his name, since the issue with Kirshner is more important.

Color Me Black: Dr. Maxwell Kirshner, a dying, wealthy racist who demands that his head be transplanted onto a healthy body. As he health rapidly deteriorates, there remains only one alternative: graft Kirshner's head onto the body of a black death row inmate, Jack Moss.

Insufferable Genius: Kirshner. It doesn't get much more insufferable than racism or more genius than being able to transplant heads.

Politically Incorrect Villain: Kirshner is only stopped from firing Fred Williams (who he hired for his skill before learning he was black) by the contract he has and doesn't stop insisting that Jack really did the crime he was convicted of.

Dark Lord on Life Support: The racist Kirshner gets his head attached to an unwilling black man, Jack. At the end of the movie, he becomes this even more so, as Williams disconnected him from Jack's body and left him hooked up to a machine begging Desmond to get him another body.

Multiple Head Case: Aside from the obvious Kirshner/Jack, there's also a two-headed gorilla Kirshner made at the start of the movie.
