First Time Watching Young Frankenstein (1974)

[@bwilliams463]

My favorite moments in the movie are "SED-A-GIVE?!" and when the monster is in the blind man's house and suddenly realizes his thumb is on fire: "OOWOW!!!"

1. Mr. Hilltop/Liam Dunn is the same guy that plays the preacher in Blazing Saddles 2. I first saw this at a drive-in (that's still here BTW) and there was a lunar eclipse over the screen that made it even cooler than it was. 3. The studio wanted this in color but Brooks and Wilder insisted black and white because they wanted the old school tone. 4. This movie is Wilder's baby, and he agreed to do Blazing Saddles only if Brooks would direct and help write this movie. 5. It was almost impossible to get through the "You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban" scene. Everyone kept cracking up. You can see Wider trying not to laugh. 6. Igor's hump changing sides was Feldman's running gag on the cast and it was kept in the movie. 7. Marty Feldman's walleyed orbs were the result of both a hyperactive thyroid and a botched operation after a car accident before his 30th birthday, in 1963. 8. FUN FACT: Igor's "Walk this way" was Steven Tyler's inspiration for hit song of the same name. 9. Wilder😇 also insisted that Brooks NOT be seen on film. However, the screeching cat and the wolf are Mel. 10. Light reflecting off of the monster's missing teeth is not a goof. It's on purpose. 11. Monical over an eye patch.🤣 12. "Puttin' on the Ritz" will never be the same again.

I love learning facts about what goes on behind the camera.

It's not usually Transylvania in the Frankenstein stories. I think it's mainly that here so they can get the parody of "Pardon me, boy, is that the Chatanooga Choo-Choo?" in with "Pardon me, boy, is this the Transylvania Station?"

Another great 70's Mel Brooks film is "Blazing Saddles." Cleavon Little as a sheriff in the old west, Mel Brooks as the governor, Madeline Kahn as the German saloon singer Lilli von Shtüpp & Harvey Korman as a corrupt politician named Hedley Lamarr.

When we get though October, I hoping to check out Blazing saddles.

[@HuntingViolets]

You can read the book if you want the original _Frankenstein._ Any adaptation will have some changes. The book is by Mary Shelley.

The sedative is a defense if the monster gets violent, like he did. They wouldn't give it beforehand, they don't want to just put it to sleep when trying to establish communication with it.

Just on the way events go in movies a person can tell that things are about to go down. So I was just stating the obvious there.

[@HuntingViolets]

Frederick owns the place. That's why he came there.

You didn't think Mel Brooks would be doing anything in the '70's? He was doing things in the '60's. And be sure to see his 1974 Blazing Saddles: the most racist/anti-racist movie ever! He made sure to insult everyone.

Just watch Mary Shelley's Frankenstein from 1994. It's supposed to be the most accurate to the book.

[@justhowtheyusedtomakethem4732]

I will have to check it out.

[@HuntingViolets]

Frau Blucher.

[@garylee3685]

Dunno if you actually knew that Aerosmith wrote Walk This Way after seeing this movie when you said that.

[@justhowtheyusedtomakethem4732]

No I did not. But just how he said it made me think of that.

[@AbrasiousProductions]

you mind actually reacting instead of just sitting there motionless pal?...

[@justhowtheyusedtomakethem4732]

That's actually a very fair observation Ha ha.
