The strength of this move, paradoxically, is that it threatens nothing - Tartakover
The line where probably the most piece play arises from this is if Black goes in for 2...Nf6 3. Bc4 (also via tranposition: 2. Bc4 Nf6 3. Nc3) and now the "fork trick" with 3...Nxe4 but 4. Qh5 leads to the so-called "Frankenstein-Dracula" variation:

Hey, if ya' can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen, or the topic, or whatever. It's not the theoretical validity of phren's comments that is important, though I suppose that's useful to some people. It's the refreshing bluntness and brutal honesty that is so entertaining....... BTW, in the 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3 etc. line, at what point should white 'insert' Nf3? If 3.Nf3, doesn't that just transpose into a Scotch?
Here is a video about the Danish. Danish gambit never transpose into the Scotch game. It's just a nother opening.

The Danish gambit transposes, if Black wishes so, to the Goring gambit, which is classified as Scotch opening.
Poor Dracula (1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.Bc4 Nxe4 4.Qh5) is a toothless creature if black plays 4...Nd6 5.Bb3 Be7! 6.Nf3 Nc6 7.Nxe5 g6! when Black has easy equality, he could venture 5...Nc6 6.Nb5 etc. only if he urgently wants a win.
Uh yes, a typo, hardly relevant. White can bring this up either with 2.Bc4, or 2.Nc3.
White doesn't stand badly, actually. I played the black part in a corr. game here, and I could not get more than a draw- my opponent played really well, and held this without particular trouble.
A small insignificant detail is that the opponent is past here, as a cheater. Well, if a patzer (me, myself, I) can draw with Black this shit against Houdini with ease (I wasn't the one defending at any part of the game), then the conclusion is that the position isn't really promising white much- rather the opposite.
But all this is quite irrelevant. The relevant thing is that after 5...Be7 white has nothing at all, Black has a great game provided that he plays 7...g6! instead of castling (which can be dangerous indeed).
I agree with Estragon
