Credits are great

As a movie, I'm not entirely sure how "Dentist On The Job" stacks up. However, i must say that when i first watched "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (special edition) This movie really made me sit up and take notice. Especially how it wasn't the movie i was expecting. As the movie opened on the unfamiliar black and white of "dentist" i was a bit taken aback. I admit that i restarted the movie to make sure i had got the right DVD in the player.

Whoever allowed this movie to preempt Holy Grail is a genius... it encouraged me to IMDb it to see just what the draw was. And i still am unsure.. much like many of the troupe's gags in and out of the mainstream. For random sake... i think it is hilarious.

Trivia
The opening titles and a portion of the first scene of this movie appear on the Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) Special Edition DVD; a voice is eventually heard mumbling that it is the wrong movie, and Holy Grail starts instead.

Goofs
When Jill is in the bath advertising "Proudfoot's Pink Pierre", there is a large mirror behind her. When she stands up, it's gone.

Crazy credits
The end credits are shown over Richard Wattis walking with sandwich boards advertising the toothpaste. When he turns to face the camera, the front board says 'The End'. He continues to walk towards the camera until the words on the board fill the screen.
