Trivia:

SPOLIER: Urban legends portrayed in this movie (most false): - While it's well documented people have shown up in hospital emergency rooms with various bizarre objects lodged in their rectums (like a little girl's doll as in this movie), the doctor's remark about earlier finding live animals lodged in some patient's rectum is pure folklore. - Medical students go to bar, find out that one of their female classmates is working as a stripper to pay her way through medical school. - Students in a biology class are asked to take saliva swabs from their mouths and examine them under microscopes. One female student's swab reveals the presence of sperm from giving oral sex just before class. - The doctor's remark that the hospital administrator would harvest his kidneys while he's asleep and sell them to Indonesia. - Inattentive cleaning lady caused death every Friday when she unplugged patients' life support systems to plug in her floor polisher. - Woman having sex with guy she just met in waiting room. Doctor comes in and informs the couple the woman just tested positive for several STDs. - Cadavers used in medical colleges were formerly homeless people or unclaimed bodies. - The exploding colostomy bag. - a mature woman can't figure out why how she became pregnant because she's too naive about what the sexual act is.

Quotes:

of all the movies i have ever seen this ranks in the top ten and no i'm not kidding. complete overlooked for some reason this movie by dave thomas of sctv and grace under fire fame .... not to mention the uber cult classic strange brew ... deserves a better shot. catch it on movie channels or rent or buy it on DVD and video because there is nos shortages of laughs in this movie. who says comedy in canada film comedy films is dead? i'm no expert but this I know what makes me laughs and this had me rolling on the floor for several minutes at a time and not just when i saw it but after wards just thinking about some of the hilarious situation and great dialog between characters. lots of recognizable Canadian talent and greatly written by the legendary dave thomas look out for this film.
