@B M Probably one of the goofiest exchanges in the movie but it still cracks me up every time lol.

Fun fact: Blucher is NOT German for 'paste' or 'glue'. The real origin of the joke is deep in German/Prussian history. The joke is in reference to Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher. A Prussian general that was infamous for his brutal use of cavalry against Napoleon and others. There's an old folk's tale about old Blücher. They say that around the time of the Napoleonic wars, the Prussians began to commonly raid border towns outside of Prussia for the explicit purpose of acquiring more horses. As the prolonged wars and the nature of Prussian Cavalry warfare resulted in absolute decimation of the horse population within their borders. Of course if the Prussians made off with your horse, You'd NEVER get it back!

This is either the most illuminating information that has ever come to light on this topic, or the most superbly constructed and well-researched punch line to another writer's joke that I've ever heard or read. In either case, it's a more satisfying answer than those commonly given.

All of the equipment in the lab is the original set from the 1933 Frankenstein starring Boris Karloff. They found the original set designer, and discovered that he had all of the original props in his garage. And when Igor says, "Walk this way" is what inspired Steven Tyler of Aerosmith to write the song of the same name. Oh, and Igor's migrating hump started as a joke by Feldman, just to see if anyone would notice. Once they did, they thought it was so funny that they kept it in.

Gene Wilder was a genius. Nobody today gets close to the comedy he created.

The thing about this film is that yes, it's a parody of the original Frankenstein movies. However, it's also a love letter to those films. Gene and Mel knew they had a fine line to walk, and they did a superb job.

Fun fact. After two band members of Aerosmith watched this movie in the theater, they got such a kick when Igor sais "walk this way," insisting Fredrick to do the same steps. They went back to the studio, and told Steven Tyler about that scene, and it inspired the famous Aerosmith Hit! I also believe that was the first movie Mel Brooks used his Walk this Way joke. Later on followed by History of the World part 1, then Men in Tights!

You guys have grown so quickly over so short a time. Your chemistry is great and reflects a great many of us introducing our spouses or significant others to movies that we love and find classic. Please do not think you cannot revisit The Thing, and Blazing Saddles, because sometimes the second viewing and review are more satisfying commentaries than initial commentaries. I actually looked for your blazing saddles review and was sad not find it, then was also sad not to find the thing commentary. DO IT. There’s a reason you have had such a meteoric rise in so short a time. We like you. Loosen up a bit hubby, we see you for who are: an enthusiastic but I suspect socially self-suppressed advocate of undeniably worthwhile geek culture. I especially like that you spend 5 to 10 minutes after each viewing with personal reflection on what you’ve just seen. It doesn’t happen very much in most reaction videos. Keep that up. It makes a huge difference and separates you from most of the others. Like most insufferable geeks, it makes me happy when you laugh at the same points I do. And you do. Both of you. Thank you!

When they found out, Strickfaden dusted them off, plugged them in, and they all worked. “I asked [20th Century] Fox if we could rent them, and give him a decent sum of money,” says Brooks."

a little surprised I hadn't seen anything in the comments, but the scene with "You take the blond, I'll take the one with the turbine!" was never successfully filmed in one go. The cast and crew kept cracking up so they had to stitch it together in editing and even then you can see them start to break a bit in the finished product. the outtakes of this scene are a masterclass in flubs while making a movie.

the old hermit with the monster is none other than....Gene Hackman !

The Movie is a direct Parody of the James Whale 1933 movie of Frankenstein, right down to finding and using many of the surviving props for the Laboratory. BTW, the older Hermit, who set his thumb on fire)was Gene Hackman behind that beard!

I LOVE pointing out that Gene would only do this film if he could do the "Putting on the Ritz" bit (Mel hated the idea and resisted). Then later Mel to this day admits that it was the funniest thing he's ever filmed.

Even if Mel Brooks doesn't appear in the film unlike he does in his other films, his voice is heard a couple of times in this one. He's the one making the werewolf howl at the Where/there Wolf scene, he's voicing Victor Frankenstein when Freddy, Inga and Igor sees the lab for the first time and he does the yowling cat when it gets hit by the dart. All these are comfirmed by the director on the audio commentary.

They did it in black and white because Gene wanted to it to be as close to the original Boris Karloff film. In fact, the laboratory set was the original set that was used in the Boris Karloff film.

That's comparing two very different things. Like saying most kids haven't tried filet mignon but they have farted at some point, and _that's_ a tragedy of some kind. The two are only tangentially connected.

Marty Feldman was great in this.

Someone here has forgotten to mentioned that Mel Brooks rented the Laboratory Props from its creator. Creator created these props for the Original Frankenstein movie. All original props in this classic comedy. Gene & Mel wrote this screenplay. There is one stipulation even though Mel voiced the cat. Mel doesn't appear in the movie. They made this movie after Blazin' Saddles.

Mel Brooks' voice did the cat screech after being hit with the dart.

If you want more Mel Brooks and Madeline Kahn, check out High Anxiety. It is Mel's spoof of Alfred Hitchcock films. Mel has the lead in this one and Madeline is his leading lady. Harvey Korman and Cloris Leachman also have supporting roles in the movie.

A couple more suggestions, if you haven't seen them yet, are "Clue", starring Michael McKean, Madeline Kahn, Tim Curry, and Christopher Lloyd. The other suggestion is "Murder By Death", with David Niven, Sir Alec Guinness, Dame Maggie Smith, Peter Sellers, Peter Falk, and Truman Capote.

"...enjoy Gene Wilder's eyes..." AAaaND enjoy Marty Feldman's eyes.

Mel Brooks IS in the movie!! The cat sound, when Gene throws that dart backwards, is Mel. :) Glad you guys liked this one. It's one of my faves. "High Anxiety" is my favorite Mel Brooks movies, and that is a pure love letter to Hitchcock, that Hitchcock himself helped write, and gave his blessing too.

"Perhaps - some Ovaltine?" :-D

The reason this is in B&W is that, while it is a parody, it's also a love letter and homage to the original. Mel and Gene wanted their film to look as much like James Whale's film as possible. I've become convinced, over the years, that Eye-Gore is a trans-dimensional being - he literally appears out of nowhere more than once, and he breaks the Fourth Wall seemingly at will, at least six times throughout the movie. The lab equipment is all from the original 1931 film. Mel and Gene somehow found out that the creator of the props, Kenneth Strickfaden, still had everything in storage in his Santa Monica garage. Next time you watch this, you'll see his name and thanks for use of the original lab equipment in the opening credits. Mel does appear in the movie, though somewhat surreptitiously - he wrote the labels in the Brain Depositary, he voiced the werewolf howl during the ride to the castle ("Why are you talking that way?") & the cat during the darts game, and we see his hand a couple of times during the hermit scene. That's Gene hackman as the hermit, by the way. He found out that Mel & Gene were making this movie, and basically asked if he could come play too. "Wait! Where are you going? I was gonna make espresso....." How many times does the clock chime at the beginning of the movie?

Pretty sure Madeline Kahn was doing a Marlene Dietrich imitation in Blazing Saddles.
