Magic Plastic Surgery: Difference between revisions

* In an early ''[[Lucky Luke]]'' comic, the Dalton cousins (the ones who were competent but killed off fairly early) forced a town doc to give them new faces. Yes, the doctor of a frontier town in the wild west during the 19th century. After they heal up surprisingly fast, it turns out they now have the faces of four ''other'' wanted desperadoes, and return to the doctor to have their old faces restored, which succeeds without any real complications. (Although one of them complain that his chin is "a bit loose" - and it appears to be falling off! But it's fixed in later scenes.

 

* Used to cover a new actress assuming the role of Penny in the show-within-a-show in ''[[Bolt]]'' after the original Penny quits. However, given the circumstances surrounding Penny's departure (she nearly died in a studio fire) the audience can't be certain the new girl really isn't the original Penny until the scene cuts to show her at home watching the show with her pets. Naturally, [[Ascended Fanboy]] Rhino promptly complains that [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|the show has totally gone downhill.]]

* This is used in the film ''[[The Pink Panther|Curse of the Pink Panther]]'', where {{spoiler|Roger Moore}} plays Inspector Clouseau after plastic surgery, to [[Fake Shemp|allow Clouseau to appear in a film after the death of Peter Sellers]] and give the character a sendoff.
