Oh yay. This movie kills me; and Peter MacNicol as Renfield is just a darn riot.
Definitely, a better Renfield than the one in Bram Stoker's Dracula.
@@ryangreen6255 Hey, Tom Waits does a great job as well.
ruclips.net/video/Gc8fFfh-nGs/видео.html
he's from Zee Upper Vest Side, no?
REALLY???? wow.
The entire staking scene is friggin' hilarious. They didn't tell Steven Webber HOW much blood they were going to spray. You can see him corpsing toward the end too.
The little tap he gives the second time and him raising his arms as if to say "Of course!"when EVEN MORE blood sprays makes me die laughing every time.
"She's ALMOST dead!"
"....SHE'S DEAD ENOUGH!" KILLS me.
After the credits, Dracula gets the last word.
that's the funniest scene in the movie, it's like the character is acknowledging the ridiculousness of the situation
That line was also ad-libbed - Weber was just sick of being soaked in the fake gore
You can also see him break a little at the "touch this" "Don't mind if I do- AH!" moment
"Wrong my brains out!" Still one of my favorite lines. 🤣
The movie doesn't get enough love. Used to watch the crap out of it when I was a kid.
a lot of cult classics don't get the love they deserve at first!
remember anchorman?!
13:35
"-But Lucy, I'm British...
-But so are these!"
:D
Leslie Nielson was not a comedy actor. He was a SUPER serious actor, which is why his appearances in comedy films is extra hilarious.
Emily's laughter is _infectious._ I swear, the world is always a little _brighter_ after I've watched one of your videos.
Especially her laugh after Renfield says “why” after falling down the stairs.
Please watch “Down Periscope”. It’s a great underrated comedy.
Funny that you mentioned Cary Elwes. He was in "Bram Stoker's Dracula" directed by Francis Ford Coppola, from which this movie took a lot of its inspiration, such as Dracula's crazy hair and the weird shadows. A relatively minor role, though. Dracula was played by Gary Oldman.
This movie is SO much better if you've seen Bram Stoker's first!!!
@@wardenm - The specific *plot* was more like the original with Bela Lugosi, though, such as Renfield, not Jonathan Harker, being the one who initially travelled to Dracula's Castle in Transylvania.
@@Yngvarfo I was gonna say, the Mel Brooks version was using cues from Bela Legosi’s more than Coppola’s; the Wig was just a new thing at the time, and to this day, Mel Brooks is still mocking that hairstyle: ruclips.net/video/DIpSHoi3D1I/видео.html
If you only recognize Renfield from Ghostbusters 2, then you have to see Addams Family Values! Classic dark comedy.
He was also in big TV shows for the best part of a decade - Chicago Hope & Ally McBeal(which I didn't like personally, but it was very popular)
@@DoubleMonoLR YES TOO ALL
He was also in Numb3rs and I think 24
This was Mel Brooks last film as a director as the movie bombed at the box office and with critics, but became a cult classic.
It's certainly not one of his best movies, but it's still competently made and very funny.
Just compare this movie to one of the early/mid 2000s parodies or even contemporary comedies and then tell me that it's badly written ^^
@@arsenelupin9697 Paws of Fury wasn’t the best either, but I do like it for being a retold version of Blazing Saddles. I hear Cowboy Movies are just Samurai stories, westernized to make Cowboys cooler, despite already being cool with Rodeos.
Who wouldn’t love this film???
Given this film came out in the 90's when you had Jim Carry and Chris Farrell killing at the box office and before that you had Eddie Murphy doing the same thing I can see why if you weren't a fan of Brooks or of the Dracula movies you wouldn't appreciate this film like audiences did on release. But by far this is probably my favorite Brooks film because of all those elements.
"Mina, you are in the closet" is the one line from this movie that breaks me every single time. I must've watched this movie a hundred times but that one line never fails.
This movie had my whole family saying “RHAZBURRIES!?” for a month.
Amy Yasbeck, who plays Mina, is a favorite of mine. She's gorgeous, but also effortlessly funny. Loved her as Maid Marian in Robin Hood: Men in Tights!
You mentioned a lot of people from Robin Hood Men in Tights in this movie, another was David Deluise who was a random merry man and in this played one of the medical students.
The line, "I didn't know you had your hand in that," about Van Helsing being an expert on gynaecology was improvised by Harvey Korman.
This movie is hilarious! It's definitely grown on me. I remember not being that excited about it first time I saw it, but seeing it again I don't know what I was on about. Another Leslie Nielsen classic! You should have seen Bram Stoker's Dracula before this to understand some of the jokes.
Before Airplane, Leslie Nielsen was a dramatic actor. They chose him for that role because they wanted someone who who could act the most absurd situations with a straight face. That worked well also in Naked Gun.
Definitely the most criminally underrated film in Mel's filmography, and Peter MacNicol's dead-on Dwight Frye steals the whole movie.
FUN FACT: The actress who plays Mina (who also played Maid Marianne in Robin Hood: Man in Tights) admits her scream is not really her scream. In fact, she said Mo Brooks was pissed at her because she could not give a high pitch scream. As a result, they had to cast someone else to do her screams and she would lipsync them on set.
Of the end discussion: actually Cary Elwes was already in Dracula - in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), that is!
I like all kinds of movies, and I like watching you react to all kinds of movie, but watching you react to comedies is something special. Emily's giggle is the cutest thing, and seeing Matthew struggle not to laugh too soon when he knows a joke is coming is hilarious.
9:26 I think that's the student who tried to challenge Dr. Frankenstien at the start of _Young Frankenstien._
The "schedule" joke is just about my favorite one in the movie. Perfectly timed
This is my favorite Mel Brooks film and one of my favorite comedies! I'm so happy you are watching this! When I was a kid, I got sick from the heat on Fourth of July, and I watched this movie as I rested up, and it'll always have a place in my heart.
You should've done that straight after "Bram Stokers Dracula"...
something that I just remembered (took a re-watching) a direct copy (with a bit of humor built in) - the autopsy scene with Mel and the students all passing out until none were left standing... if you ever watch the opening of the old TV Series "Quincy, M.E." starring Jack Klugman, it opened the same way.
I absolutely loved this movie as a kid and may have watched it enough to destroy 3 VHS copies of it
I've loved Harvey Korman since his days on "The Carol Burnett Show." His perform here as Dr Seward reminds me a lot of his parody of Nigel Bruce's Dr. Watson from the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes movies in a comedy sketch with Anthony Newley as Holmes.
Harvey Korman and Tim Conway in the dentist sketch is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.
@@wackyvorlon Yes!
The giggly reaction after renfield fell down the stairs had me in stitches.
I swear I was never as proud as when she called out the gag. It mostly fly over peoples head the first time watching….
I remember renting this movie when I was like 10. Good times. I recommend watching "Spy Hard" at some point if you guys haven't already.
Also Wrongfully Accused!
@@andreduarte8372 Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. I'd recommend that too. Good spoof of The Fugitive.
The gargle throated village lady is the Oscar winning actress...Anne Bancroft....Mrs. Mel Brooks
"I went to the Dr. and all he did was suck blood from my neck. Do not see Dr. Acula"
-Mitch Hedberg
"I don't like floaty movement, it creeps me out."
So it did what it was supposed to do, perfectly. :D
The first time I saw this I felt like Emily, but watching it again years later it was like seeing it for the first time again except I thought it was absolutely hilarious and has since become one of my favorite films in the Melverse.
15:51
Those candleholders are a reference to the cheap set design of Hammer Horror movies. They were trying to save so much budget that the candleholder looking exactly like the one in the middle of the frame appeared from their first Dracula movie through almost every gothic horror movie they made. Even when they got bigger budgets, spent more money on sets, they still reused the same candleholders again and again.
Unless I’m wrong I believe some of the actresses were from Mel Brooks Men in Tights. I believe one was Maid Marian and the other is her helper Broomhilda
when they shot the stake scene, Mel Brooks didn't tell Steven Weber how much blood there was going to be. so his reaction of surprise is real.
20:25 "Why!"
I'm dead
Love this movie! Y'all should check out Miami Connection, that movie is right up your alley. It's like the best bad 80s movie ever.
That was terrible. Definitely one of the worst B movies of all time.
@@taoist32 I'd say it's a movie that everybody should own, I could watch it every day and not get tired of it "at awrr"
You should do *Love At First Bite* starring George Hamilton as well. 😂
Love that movie. "You are getting sleeeepy. No, YOU are!...no, you are!"
@@MrAitraining "Oh yeah? What do you say to this, Count!!?" * pulls out a star of David * "I say.. you should leave Miss Suzie alone and find a nice Jewish girl." "What? Oh, wrong one again?" :D
So happy to see this is getting viewed. One of my favorites. Been asking for this since you watched Top Secret.
This reminds me of another spoof vampire movie.
Love at First Bite (1979)
Starring:
George Hamilton
Richard Benjamin (also known for comedy satire movies like Saturday the 14th)
Susan Saint James
and
Arte Johnson
Love that film always a good time watching that one.
This is the favorite movie for one of my best friends. She still does the "Yes master" part from Renfield to this day. 😂
@justSUMMreactions I just finished reading Mel Brooks's book All About Me. And he wrote that the staking scene was actually filmed about 5 different times with increasing levels of blood every time. At the end of every take, the entire set had to be washed down and Steven Weber had to shower off and be redressed. And the last take with the most blood was what they used.
Man, I usually love anything Mel Brooks, but I think Kelsey Grammer would have been an improvement; he does pompous "over-the-top" sooooo well!
One of my picks for a vampire comedy would go to 'Vampire's Kiss' - can't go wrong with Nic Cage in over-the-top mode.
And of course "What we do in the shadows", but that pretty much goes without saying.
I hadn't realized before that Lucy(Amy Yasbeck) was also from the sitcom 'Wings', along with Jonathan(Steven Weber) who I always recognized from the show.
If you didn't watch til the end of the end credits. Dracula won the last word war.
Love this film, love the famous cameo's/ main roles, the doctor who was obsessed with enemas was doctor Watson in the original black and white Sherlock Holmes series, and the emeeeerrrgency nurse is Billy crystals daughter if I remember right ☺️
Finally! This movie is hilarious and a well done version of Bram Stroker's. I can't even call it a satire.
Now you two need to check out Spy Hard & Wrongfully Accused 2 spoofs of James Bond & The Fugitive .
I NEVER knew the lady from this movie was the princess in Krull. She looks so different.
Has Emily seen “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” directed by Francis Ford Copolla? A lot of the jokes in this are based on that version of Dracula
Damn, I wanted to see your reactions to all the enema lines. That whole scene with Renfield and Seward is my favorite part of the movie
To this day it boggles my mind that Mel Brooks landed Anne Bancroft. Her cameo at the start of this movie is just priceless.
It probably wasn't hard, as the two of them were married. Their son, Max, wrote the novel World War Z.
@@tdogg46142 Of course. What I meant was that it amazes me that Mel landed Anne as his wife. One of the great Hollywood marriages TBH :)
Now all I can think about is how much I want to see the Hammer House flicks on here.
ALL of them!!! Or at least all of the Lee/Cushing pairings.
9:20 Annoying Student is Barney from Raising Hope. AND a bunch of other stuff but in my heart Raising Hope is #1
Keeping watching Mel Brooks movies. High Anxiety, a spoof of Alfred Hitchcock movies, stars Harvey Korman, Cloris Leachman, and Madeline Kahn.
That movie is fucking hilarious
"She vil become won HERSEEEEEELF!!!" 🤣🤣🤣
This was a favorite of mine as a kid and one of my first introductions to vampires. Even though it’s a comedy I was still terrified of Dracula lol
i love the respect for the things mell brooks has while still making fun of the thing
The Bat-Neilsen : I don`t know which came first, but I`ve seen that done in animated vampire stories for kids. So, either they copied the idea from this film or Mel decided to incorporate an animation trait, into a live-action version. Either way it was very funny & I appreciated it more because of that.
"Johnny, where in the hell are you from, anyway?"
"Upper west side?"
Always love that gb2 gag
Oh, but I woo'd!
You guys havent reacted to a scary movie in a while so ill suggest Rosemarys Baby(1968) to you its a great classic horror movie its right up there with The Excorsist and Psycho. keep up the good work
If you loved this one, you should check out Love at first Bite.
A story of how Dracula had to relocate to New York city after being evicted from his castle. So hilarious 😅😊. Love your show. 💗
I haven't even watched it yet, but I both know her reactions and his knowing looks, and I'm loving it already :)
You guys should Watch 'The Party' staring Peter Sellers, He is the same actor as the original Pink Panther. Great slap stick and a classic
We're literally half a year away from the start of Spooktober, when one would expect a movie like this being posted. But hey, I'm not complaining.
I don't know if you have watched Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula, you should, this movie is in many ways a spoof of that specific movie, including the accent 😂 I bet you will not be able to restrain your laugh even though it's a serious movie 😺
Leslie Nielsen's invisible stunt double is so talented
The gypsy woman who gives Renfield the cross is Mel Brook's wife, Oscar winning dramatic actress Ann Bancroft. They are hysterical together in To Be or Not to Be, Mel's most underrated film.
"But I'm British!"
"So are these."
Leslie Neilson was a famous serious actor you should check out "Forbidden Planet" where he plays the dashing romantic man of action hero plus it is one of true SciFi classics. If you are looking for some other fun Vampire Comedies can I suggest "Love at First Bite" with George Hamilton or "Once Bitten" with Jim Carey.
This was a movie where Mel Brooks was split between presenting a good Dracula movie and a satirical Dracula movie. In the end, the satirical portions became the stronger of the two. I would have loved for him to have forgo the former and concentrated on the latter. Still, it's an entertaining movie.
Omg this is my favorite movie of all times always has been always will be I don’t understand how anyone can’t like it
Peter MacNicol (Renfield) was also in 1981’s Dragonslayer.
Also, I can’t believe that nobody brought up the Romani woman who did the warbling thing with her throat, as she was Mel Brooks’s wife and Academy Award-winning actress Anne Bancroft.
You guys should watch Vampire in Brooklyn. It's an underrated Eddie Murphy movie. You would love it!
Coma, Marathon Man, Tootsie, Terms of Endearment, The World According to Garp, Dead Ringers, Peggie Sue Got Married, Dangerous Liaisons, Fatal Attraction, Driving Miss Daisy, Cocoon, Romancing the Stone, Sex Lies and Videotape.
21:03 BATlethes foot. BAT. Missed opportunity!
now that you've watched the end of Leslie Nielsen's career you should see a young Nielsen in "Forbidden Planet".
And also Leslie Nielsen fighting a grizzly bear in Day of the Animals (1977). 😊
Leslie Neilson in real life was a funny goofball.He did dramatic parts his whole career,but when he got to do the Naked Gun movies,that's was his sense of humor.He would appear on talk shows throughout his career and he was always funny.
First thing I saw Peter McNichol in was Dragonslayer. Great movie. He was also a regular on Ally McBeal (in Ally McBeal? No, that sounds worse).
On is absolute the better choice yes.
My favourite in this was the reference to "Yes we have no bananas! We have no bananas today!
There was one credits-gag you missed out on - at the tail end, Dracula's heard getting the last word in!
well, if you liked the accent, I believe you'd definitely like all of Peter Sellers in "The Pink Panther" series :D
SO many opportunities to say "Tiddies!" missed. How sad.
Fun reaction anyways.
I love this film a lot and numerous moments live in my head rent-free ("I must move the coffin... or the chandelier", "SHE WILL BECOME ONE HER-SELFFFF"), but it's definitely my least favourite Mel Brooks simply because of the number of gags. Whole scenes with comedy potential go by without any jokes at all. Robin Hood wasn't that far back, and that had way more jokes, and way more that landed.
Any scene with Renfield is hilarious.
The medical students fainting appears to be an hommage to the famous scene in Quincy M.E.
Hi new to your channel, and it's been awhile since you have reacted to a mel brooks movie. But Amy is suggest the movie High Anxiety by mel brooks
#title -- Matthew: Certified Film Fanatic --- Emily: Video Vixen .. ;)
It's funny you guys mentioned Carrie Elwes as Dracula because he is actually in Bram Stroker's Dracula
The Naked Gun, as a movie, was pretty much a parody. It was poking fun at law enforcement shows of the 70's, but it was doing it in a humorous manner. The story was decent & nearly good enough to be inserted as an episode, into one of those 70's cop shows. Brooks' Dracula was more of a true comedy. Sure it was modeled after various horror films, but it was far more played for laughs. Considering this, I think Brooks did better than most at utilizing Leslie Nielsen as a comedic actor. Sadly most of the rest fell short. Some were funny, but I think Naked Gun was the high point. Mr. Magoo, and Space Travesty show how bad things can get, with him as the star.
I wish you guys had the context of the Carol Burnett Show, for when comedians, like Harvey Korman appear in a film. (Whip! Stir!) Him, Tim Conway, Lyle Wagoner, Carol Burnett, and Vicky Lawrence were all very funny comedians in their day. Seeing one of them always reminds me of different sketches from that show. In the afternoons, CBS stood for "Carol Burnett Show". It signaled the end of the soap opera block. Of course, Jonathan always reminds me of Brian from Wings. You guys are really coming along, as far as comedic movies. Keep up the good work. Perhaps, you should try "Opportunity Knocks" or "What About Bob".
5:44 "And _stop_ that."
😆😆😆 Looks like the _Count_ is not a big fan of floatie movements _either._
This was released and partly inspired by Francis Ford Coppola's 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' which came out not too long before this.
I love the "last word" bit that kept going on. 8 out of 10.
14:25 Mel Brooks said this was the funniest scene in all of his movies!
Cary Elwes was in Bram Stoker's Dracula, so he could have parodied his own character...
Love the over the top british voices
The old woman in the village with the cross is Mel Brooks' wife, Anne Bancroft.
