Teeth Flying: Difference between revisions

* Happens [[Battle Discretion Shot|off-screen]] in an early episode of the ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'' dub. [[Bruiser With a Soft Center|Kuwabara]] is set upon by a group of thugs while he's taken a vow not to fight at all, even in his own defense. As [[Dead to Begin With|Yusuke]] and [[Don't Fear the Reaper|Botan]] watch helplessly from the sidelines, Botan makes the horrified observation, "Is that a ''tooth''?"

* In ''[[Akira (Manga)|Akira]]'' when Tetsuo is recaptured by the scientists Kaneda attempts to save him but a huge guard stands in his way, he attempts to fight the guard but he grabs Kaneda by the face and slams him into the ground, when he gets back up he spits out a tooth.

* In the ''[[Harry Potter]]/[[Hellraiser (Film)|Hellraiser]]'' crossover ''Evil Be Thou My God'', Harry is punched by Peter Pettigrew's silver hand and loses a molar in the process. He discovers this when he spits out a mouthful of blood and the wayward dentition comes with.

* Happened to Centipede in the movie version of ''[[James and The Giant Peach]]''. Also, to the robot shark. (No fistfight, but teeth are still flying.)

* [[Played for Drama]] in a scene from the director's cut of ''[[Watchmen (Film)|Watchmen]]''. When Nite Owl learns from a Knot-Top that his mentor Hollis Mason was murdered by other members of that gang, he [[Berserk Button|snaps]] and punches the man in the face repeatedly, visibly knocking a few teeth loose. The last you see of the guy is him gurgling his own blood which has ''most'' of his teeth floating around in it.

* A couple examples in ''[[Space Jam (Film)|Space Jam]]'' first when Yosemite Sam and Elmer Fudd shoot out Monstar Bupkis' teeth when he tries to kill Wile Coyote, when Tweety goes berserk he punches Monstar Blanko and knocks out one of his teeth, and when Monstar Nawt kicks Taz if you look carefully he knocks out a tooth.

* In ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]'', near the end, Phoebus punches one of Frollo's guards, sending most of his teeth flying from his mouth.

* Optimus Prime spits out what looks like a ''metal'' tooth during a fight in ''[[Transformers Revenge of the Fallen]]''. What a robot is doing with teeth is best left to the [[Wild Mass Guessing]] pages.

* One werewolf in ''[[Dog Soldiers (Film)|Dog Soldiers]]'' is kicked so hard on the mouth that one of its teeth flies into a wall and gets stuck.

* ''[[Mortal Kombat 9 (Video Game)|Mortal Kombat]]'' has this in the very detailed X-ray moves, which frequently involve blows to the head, with [[Nightmare Fuel|handy]] x-ray shots of the injury in question. Characters with non-standard skulls, like [[Butter Face|Mileena]] and [[I'm a Humanitarian|Baraka]] have distinct teeth and jaws. Most of the time, teeth go flying.

* In the ''[[Spongebob SquarePants]]'' episode where SpongeBob has to impersonate Mr. Krabs at his Navy reunion, one of Krab's buddies asks to punch him in the "armor abs", resulting in one of his teeth coming loose. The others are disappointed that he only lost ''one'' tooth, until he spits out a few more and then his skeleton, and the others declare, "Now that's manly!"

* At the end of ''[[The Little Mermaid (Disney)|The Little Mermaid]]'', Louis the chef loses a few teeth after getting hit on the face by a mast.

* In ''[[Batman Mask of the Phantasm]]'' during Batman and Joker's fight at one point Joker smashes a model building over Batman's back then attempts to stab him with the point, in response Batman kicks him in the face knocking out one of his teeth.

* In the ''[[American Dad (Animation)|American Dad]]'' episode "Haylias" when Hayley has gone insane after activating her chip she attempts to kill Stan at one point she punches him in the jaw knocking out a tooth, and we get a close up of the bloody tooth flying from his mouth.

* A recurring gag in golden age cartoons like ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' and ''[[Tom and Jerry (Animation)|Tom and Jerry]]'' when a character receives a blow to the face their teeth will often shatter like glass.
