YMMV / Strange Brew

• Awesome Moments:
  • Rosie vs. Smith.
  • Right before that there's Doug leading the inmates against Claude and rallying them with his intro to The Great White North, which is followed by a minor orchestral swell that just screams Let's Get Dangerous!.
  • The ghost of Pam's dad has several as he helps contribute to the above moment followed by telling Rosie where to find Pam and Bob after they've been thrown in a vat.
• Awesome Music: The theme song by Ian Thomas is a simultaneously awesome and hilarious Ode to Intoxication.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The scene of Smith drinking what is apparently some of his own serum. It's never elaborated on or brought up again.
• Cult Classic: It had a strong cult following to the point of being in the Top 250 films during the early days of IMDb.
• Funny Moments: Has its own page.
• Moral Event Horizon:
  • Smith murdering Pam's father.
  • Even though Claude is the less evil one that previously had qualms about killing his own brother and the possibility of killing his own niece, he loses both sympathy and the moral ground when he kills a patient that was trying to alert the nurse about his attempt to kill Rosie on Smith's orders.
• Nausea Fuel:
  • Bob and Doug poured Hosehead's beer into a glass for their dad after drinking all the beer in the fridge. Hosehead's beer had dog food mixed with it. Thankfully, they dropped it before they could give it to him.
  • Bob heroically saves Pam and himself from drowning by drinking an entire vat of beer... that he'd already peed in.
• Slow-Paced Beginning: Mentioned by Bob himself during the audience leaving the initial film, the actual plot of the movie gets more interesting once they get involved with the Elsinore Beer plot.
• Suspiciously Similar Song: Hosehead flies to Oktoberfest to what is not quite the Superman theme.
