Title: Hammy-fun-bad gore/The Dentist 2 Post by: peter johnson on March 02, 2001, 08:23:16 PM I don't care for gore as much as some who write in here do, & this was originally a post to Squishy in a previous thread -- but I'm surprised no gore fans here have mentioned The Dentist 1 or 2. Now I really don't like blood & guts beyond the Hammer level -- Chris Lee looks his best with a dribble of bright crimson on his lips -- but Dentist 2 was just so over-the-top/scenery-chewing/overactingly-FUN-bad that I was enthralled. This is one sick puppy of a stupid flick. The Dentist is, of course, quiveringly insane, yet nobody seems to notice.
Things I learned from this movie: When drilled hard enough, teeth will explode like wall-board, showing cross-stitiching-like fabric qualities -- almost as if made from plaster of paris!! People will trust a slavering, shaking, quivering individual who barely seems in control of his own body to probe their mouths with sharp instruments.

Hell, anything Brian Yuzna does is gold to me.....the Yuzna/Gordon/Screaming Mad George connection is a well that could never run dry. Or at least, I hope not. We'll see......

When was the last time YOUR teeth gave off flecks of paint chips?
