Trinity analogy - good or bad?

Are there any problems with analogizing the trinity to a three-headed creature? I had the idea from a movie with a 3 headed giant. The heads even had different names and personalities. So, as with the Trinity there is one God/divine nature in three persons, there is one giant with three personalities.

Of course all analogies fail at some point, but are there any major problems with this?
