Dennis the Menace Strikes Again (also known as: Dennis 2: Dennis Strikes Again) is a 1998 American comedy film. It is the sequel to the 1993 theatrical feature Dennis the Menace and stars Don Rickles, Betty White, and Justin Cooper. It was produced by Outlaw Productions and released by Warner Home Video on July 14, 1998. None of the cast from the first film returned to reprise their roles, with all of them being recast. Additionally this was Don Rickles' final live action film performance. Plot Two and a half years after the first film, Dennis Mitchell (Justin Cooper) is worse than ever. At the beginning of the film, he goes over to the Wilsons' house to offer George (Don Rickles) some pets as gifts for his birthday. They include frogs, lizards, snakes, insects, tarantulas, scorpions, mice, exotic mammals, and even a baby alligator. This ordeal ends with George unintentionally riding down a flight of stairs in Dennis' red wagon and accidentally getting his birthday cake thrown on his face by his wife Martha (Betty White). Soon after this incident, Mr. Johnson, Dennis' grandfather, Alice's father, and Henry's father-in law (George Kennedy), shows up and announces that he is moving in with the Mitchells. Dennis starts spending more time with him than George. George, upset that he's getting older, gets tricked by two crooked con men, the Professor and his assistant, Sylvester (Brian Doyle-Murray and Carrot Top), who try to talk him into buying a "rare" root used to make tea to make people younger. He is about to pay $10,000 when Dennis comes by. Dennis then reveals that he owns one of the same kind, which he says he found on a place where those abound. Soon afterward, the Professor and Sylvester return and sell George a machine that allegedly makes people younger. Suddenly, the attitudes of him and Mr. Johnson reverse as the latter feels the former's pain of living in the same neighborhood as Dennis, while he starts to feel youthful and happy. While Dennis is trying to clean up a pile of garbage that he accidentally threw on Mr. Johnson's car while taking out the trash, he accidentally destroys George's machine with cotton candy mix that he mistook for soap. As a result of this, George declares that he and Martha will be moving away to be away from Dennis for good, whereupon Mr. Johnson decides
