When I was a kid, I was at a friend's house and this movie was on TV where a guy's head gets chopped in half from a helicopter blade. I've never been able to think of what it was until I rented it by accident the other day. It's called Holocaust 2000 and it's about a devil child that belongs to Kirk Douglas and his secret plot to utilize his father's nuclear power plant pods to invoke the holocaust. It's got lots of great dream sequences, hallucinations, and unexpected scenes. In one such scene Douglas' character is seen nude on a beach at night watching nuclear power plants rise out of the ocean and turn into an 8 headed hydra monster. The soundtrack is by Ennio Morricone. There's a soundtrack CD available. This was an AIP release filmed in Italy. Released the same year as the more successful American film The Fury directed by Brian De Palma, also starring Kirk Douglas. Available in the Sci-Fi section at I Luv Video on Airport only on VHS.
I loved this movie, it used to come on at like 2am. I watched it over and over.
