YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN MOVIE REVIEW: 35:42 - 41:17
YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN Movie Reaction:
Respected medical lecturer Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) learns that he has inherited his infamous grandfather's estate in Transylvania. Arriving at the castle, Dr. Frankenstein soon begins to recreate his grandfather's experiments with the help of servants Igor (Marty Feldman), Inga (Teri Garr) and the fearsome Frau Blücher (Cloris Leachman). After he creates his own monster (Peter Boyle), new complications ensue with the arrival of the doctor's fiancée, Elizabeth (Madeline Kahn).
Young Frankenstein is a 1974 American comedy horror film directed by Mel Brooks and starring Gene Wilder as the title character, a descendant of the infamous Dr. Victor Frankenstein, and Peter Boyle as the monster. The supporting cast includes Teri Garr, Cloris Leachman, Marty Feldman, Madeline Kahn, Kenneth Mars, Richard Haydn, and Gene Hackman. The screenplay was written by Wilder and Brooks.
The film is a parody of the classic horror film genre, in particular the various film adaptations of Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus produced by Universal Pictures in the 1930s. Much of the lab equipment used as props was created by Kenneth Strickfaden for the 1931 film Frankenstein. To help evoke the atmosphere of the earlier films, Brooks shot the picture entirely in black and white, a rarity in the 1970s, and employed 1930s' style opening credits and scene transitions such as iris outs, wipes, and fades to black. The film also features a period score by Brooks' longtime composer John Morris.
A critical favorite and box-office smash, Young Frankenstein ranks No. 28 on Total Film magazine's readers' "List of the 50 Greatest Comedy Films of All Time", No. 56 on Bravo's list of the "100 Funniest Movies", and No. 13 on the American Film Institute's list of the 100 funniest American movies. In 2003, it was deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant" by the United States National Film Preservation Board, and selected for preservation in the Library of Congress National Film Registry. It was later adapted by Brooks and Thomas Meehan as a stage musical.
On its 40th anniversary, Brooks considered it by far his finest (although not his funniest) film as a writer-director.

Thank All Of You For Your Support I Really Hope You All Enjoy This Video, Please Like And Share. I Would Love To See Your Thoughts In The Comments, I'm So Happy To Finally Get This Video Out! It's Like Every Obstacle You Can Think Of Happening With This Movie Happened Lmao.
We're Almost At 10K Subs We Blew Past My Original Goal And Every Day Is Like A Dream With You All. Can We Get To 10K By New Years??? Love Discovering These Movies With You All!
I'm Trying Somethings Out This Video With Seeing If I Can Get Longer Scenes And Less Cutaways, And The Only Way I Can Do That Is With The Watermark. That's What I Have To Do To Not Get Copyrighted. So For The People Who Will Complain, You Either Get Long Scenes With Watermarks Or You Get Shorter Scenes And Alot Of Cutaways. Don't Get Mad At Me, Get Mad At RUclips And The Movie Studios That Own The Rights.
SPACEBALLS IS NEXT! COMING THIS WEEK! ALSO HAVE A SURPRISE VIDEO FOR YOU ALL!
Bro you have to watch and review see no evil, hear no evil gene wilder and Richard Pryor are fucking hilarious in that movie
Please react to Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein
A horror comedy masterpiece and Quentin Tarantino’s favourite
You gotta see Stir Crazy if you haven't seen it. It has Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor.
Good video
Greemlins need a reaction
If you have never seen SLAP SHOT I highly recommend it.
Fun fact, the equipment in the laboratory in this movie are the same props from the original Frankenstein film.
Fun fact #3: Watching someone watching something you love for the first time is awesome.
The whole lab movie prop thing is probably the same reason why Spaceballs reused unused footage from the Star Wars movie, like the escape pod scene.
Cool info ❤️
@@ericjanssen394 cool
@@jakeblankenship1408 ❤️
Willy Wonka might be Gene Wilder's most iconic character, but his performance in Young Frankenstein is without a doubt his greatest, and I wish more people would think the same.
I Agree With You 100% On This, But This Is Only The Third Movie I’ve Seen Him In.
@@HelloMellowXVI me too!
I like him in Cisco Kid too.
@@HelloMellowXVI This is my favorite movie and I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I've seen it probably 20+ times and it never gets old! Definitely Gene Wilder at his best. Gene wrote most of it and I feel you can tell the difference in humor between Mel and Gene.
@@kirbyculp3449 , Frisco Kid. He was hilarious in that!
I love this movie because its only half of a spoof, the other half is a geniune fantastic Frankenstein film, Wilder is phenomenal in this movie
I Absolutely Agree With You On That And It's So Fantastic
They loved the original, and it showed. They had fun with it, but never made fun of it.
@@MWSin1 the parts they poked fun of, it was never to mock the original story, but rather give it a twist to it.
A good parody pays homage. You should watch the originals - great films. And yes some of the jokes in this are real groaners
@@zatoichi1 Pun Entirely Intended, I guess.
Gene Wilder said the only fight he ever had with Mel Brooks was over the "Putting On The Ritz" scene.
Mel wanted to cut it for being "too silly" but Gene insisted it would work. Gene fought for it so hard that Mel finally said "If you want it that bad then I'll trust you." and it turned out to be one of the classic cinema moments of all time.
Well done, Gene!
When I'm hiking I always use my trekking poles to do that scene.
From what I understand Mel wasn't against it totally but brought it up with Gene just to see if he would fight for it, since he proved he believed it it stayed in. It was only a fight on the part of Gene, and Mel knew exactly what he was doing.
@@zakkmylde1712Mel Brooks stated in some interview, that he actually thought that the scene was interesting, but didn't fit the whole vibe of the movie, so he didn't even want to record it. Him and gene fought until it "almost turned into a fist fight", which Mel stated himself, but then gene said "okay, let's record it and see how it goes. If you don't like it, we won't put it into the movie." They did and Mel brooks said "I've never been so wrong in my life."
Marty Feldman (Igor) really did look like that in real life, as he suffered from a genetic disorder that made his eyes like that.
Tbh he rocked it and made it hilarious. I admire someone who can make me laugh just by accepting and loving themselves
Thank you for explaining that. I always wondered why his eyes were that way
A genetic disorder plus a failed operation to correct it...
Mel joked that if you wanted to hide from him, all you had to do was get in front of his nose.
I always used to joke that Meset Ozil looked like Marty Feldman and I had a lot of un when one of my friends had a major crush on him
Marty Feldman (Igor) was screwing around with the cast and was moving his hump from side to side. Mel brooks thought it was funny so he left it in
I'm assuming that's where he got the idea to move John's mole in Men in Tights from.
what hump?
Glad I didn't have to scroll too far to see this was already mentioned. Most people never notice it until someone tells them.
Marty was in a Andy Kaufman movie too, In God We Trust.
This was the movie my husband took me to on our first date. 45 years later we still say "Walk this way..."
My Uncle has taught his dog to bark whenever someone says Frau Blucher.
And that's a joke that goes back to the Marx Brothers and Laurel and Hardy.
If I could walk that way I wouldn't need the talcum powder.
@@kathleen109 You're uncle is a man of culture, indeed :P
Fun fact: The old blind man was played by the legendary Gene Hackman.
"I was going to make espresso..."
Hold that cigar still so I can light it up.
Harold the Blind Hermit Man: (Feeling the Monster) You must of been the tallest one in your class.
I thought I knew most everything about this movie and completely missed Gene Hackman!
@@squatchwrangler He improvised that line
When Gene Wilder screams “Give my creation life” and “MY NAME IS FRANKENSTEIN”. it gives me goosebumps every time. The man was a true acting talent. What a legend.
My fave line was Igor saying "Certainly, you take the blonde. I'll take the one in the turban" in that Groucho Marx voice. It always cracks me up
It doesnt matter how many times I have seen movies and TV shows make that joke, its always makes me laugh. lol
The "toybin" 😆
Soitenly! 🥸
I've heard they had to shoot that scene over and over since Marty Feldman had everyone on set laughing out loud including the other actors when they filmed it.
"Werewolf"
"There"
"What?"
"There wolf, there castle" XD
21:26 the whole scene at this dinner table was improvised. They had to reshoot Gene Wilder touching the food because the crew kept cracking up. Marty Feldman, when he said he’d never forget what his dad told him, actually waited patiently, almost a minute I think, for someone to ask him “what did he say,” before he answered and shoved that whole potato in his mouth.
Marty Feldman actually moved the hump around in-between takes and waited for someone to notice.
Marty Feldman is doooooo my type of humour.
@@heromaniacz you should check out "In God We Tru$t", which features Feldman and Andy Kaufman
Yeah they also did at the time of the movie in the early 70's they wanted to mess with the audience if they was smoking weed in theatre
@Noel_Kberg89 yeah but Mel Brooks first did here I think.
@NoniNo89
“I have a mole?”
The horses in 'Young Frankenstein' react violently to mention of Frau Blücher's name because it means 'glue' in German. Glue was made from horses
I really wanted to believe this to be correct. I can't find anything remotely close when using my limited search skills. 😣
No, just no, not even close.
@@kellysquirrelk
IMDB has a more detailed explanation:
www.imdb.com/title/tt0072431/trivia?item=tr0733574
Cloris Leachman, on National Public Radio's "Fresh Air" on June 3, 2009, claimed that Mel Brooks told her that the name of her character Frau Blücher resembles the word for "glue" in German, hence the reason for the horse whinnies. If he really said this, then either he was pulling her leg (as was his habit) or he was misinformed. The closest word for glue in German dialect is "Kleber". Frau means Mrs. and Blücher is a very common name, essentially equivalent to Jones. According to supplementary information on the DVD the horse's terror at her name is meant to show that she is a terrible and frightening person and, according to Gene Wilder, "Lord only knows what she does to them when no one is around." On the other hand, they react to the name, not her presence, weakening this idea. One idea has been proposed that the name reminds them of an incident in the career of Prussian Field Marshal Gebhardt von Blücher, where his horse died under him in the war of 1815, or maybe it's just a silly gag with no meaning at all.
@@kellysquirrelk RIP Cloris Leachman (April 30, 1926 - January 26, 2021)
@@mario27171 I always thought it just showed that she was such a terrifying person that mere mention of her name could spook horses.
And the monster grew up to become Frank Romano from "Everybody Loves Raymond"
I loved it when Frank dressed up as Frankenstein's Monster in one of the Halloween episodes.
Frank Barone*; Romano is the lead actor's real surname.
And was arguably far more monstrous than the Creature, here.
Peter fucking Boyle! Epic.
@Romanogers4ever There’s a blooper of Brad Garrett imitating Herman Munster 😂. There’s also a blooper from the episode where Frank was taking a kind of Viagra that made him lose his sense of taste and Garrett and Ray Romano were improvising different funny names for the pills, one of them was “Young Frankenstein” 🤣 Peter Boyle’s reaction was great!
My older sister still does “welltheywerewrongthenweren’tthey?” It’s never not funny. 😆
Same :)
With the nose scrunch at the end. Every time. 😂
My brother and I do the same! That’s awesome
This was Terri Garr's breakout role. She auditioned for the part of Elizabeth, but then Madeline Khan said she wanted the role. Mel Brooks suggested she audition for the role of Inga. He said if she thought she could do a German accent he would consider her for the part. Terri Garr instantly came back with "Vell, yes, I could do zee German ackzent tomorrow, I could come back zis afternoon." Brooks gave her the part on the spot.
Young Frankenstein isn’t just one of Mel Brooks best spoofs but also a legitimate and worthy sequel to the original Frankenstein, and I love all of Madeleine Kahn’s scenes, an incredibly funny and talented comedy actress gone too soon.
Madeline Khan's "flames" line in Clue is my favorite in the whole movie!!! She was definitely a legend!
movie starts, ominous announcer voice "YOUNG FRANK IN STINE"
me: that's... Franc En Steen...
Doctor Franks-n-Beans
Mel Brooks: Miss breakfast, but don’t miss “Young Frankenstein”.
The howling before they say "werewolf" was Mel Brooks voice doing that
Right! No appearance as his usual movies so he at least had to add his voice lol
Gene Wilder should have won an Academy Award for this. Such a genius performance.
"Quick give him the---
Quick give him the---!"
Love the charades part of the movie! "Sedagive!?" Lol!!
"Dirty word!! He said a dirty word!!" Marty Feldman was hilarious!
@@centuryrox
Funniest line!
One thing that I missed the first few times I watched this movie: Remember the policeman with the wooden arm? Look closely at his face whenever he's in closeup. He's wearing a monocle. But where is he wearing it? Over his eye patch. A corrective lens isn't going to do much when there's no eye to correct...
Also, you may want to check out Spaceballs. It's another Mel Brooks movie and an absolute classic. Rick Morranis plays the lead villain and the whole movie is a send up to famous sci-fi movies (mostly Star Wars)
That policeman was a parody (or homage) of Peter Sellers' character, Dr. Strangelove.
@@captainsplifford ACTUALLY, the studio felt the movie needed a villain and Mel suggested a character based on Lionel Atwell's one-armed Inspector Krogh from SON OF FRANKENSTEIN.
@@pcwkid76Very cool! But the ratcheted arm was definitely a Dr. Strangelove reference, also.
@@captainsplifford I doubt that. It is very clearly Inspector Krogh from 'Son of Frankenstein'.
"MY NAME IS... FRANKENSTEIN!"
This... this may be the funniest movie of all time, but this one scene stands up there as one of the best scenes in ALL OF CINEMA, and I dare anyone to say otherwise.
Had Me Hype! I Love When Movies Have Scores Like They Did In That Scene That's How You Know It's Going To Be Epic. I Had Goosebumps! It Reminded Me Of Avengers
Movie suggestion: check out the next great Mel Brooks/Gene Wilder film: The Producers! There is a severe lacking of reactions on RUclips for this particular film.
Well I'll Definitely Do It Soon!
I just mentioned this. Glad someone else agrees :D
Came here to say this! Gene Wilder's performance in The Producers is also incredible.
Somehow I forgot about this film!
Yes!!! I came to the comments to see if someone recommended this. So fantastic.
This has been in my top five movies since I saw it as a kid.
Gene Wilder going absolutely feral at the drop of a hat makes this a masterpiece.
Mel Brooks is a universal treasure
No dive into Mel Brooks is complete w/o The History of the World.
Great reaction
back when this was set train trips were famously multi-day, and remember he's traveling to Europe, where Countries are as big as some US states,
what you also missed is that he traveled from NYC to Europe...By Train
😜😂
I am guessing he missed the 'can i give you a shine?' joke, sadly ;-)
@@gregall2178 to be fair, its an old song he is reffering to
Gene Wilder was always so good because he wasn't a comedian, he was a serious actor in a comedic situation. The ultimate straight guy. This entire cast was brilliant. Leslie Nielson and John Cleese would be my next two.
Thanks for the video, and the fun you brought with it❤👍
Melverse - "Stop with the Dad jokes!"
Mel Brooks - "NEVER!"
This movie really is a love letter to the old universal monster movies. It's so well written and filmed that, even though it is a parody, it could actually fit in with the old frankenstein movies
I don't mind the watermark at all, it's really nice to hear you talk more freely this way!! Instead of cutting back and forth all the time! You reading all the names in the beginning got me screaming 😅
Wow Thank You So Much I Really Love The Feedback And I’m Glad You Enjoyed That Part I Was Laughing At Myself Too
Love it. I remember watching this movie as a kid, and even missing a bunch of the jokes (being a kid) I loved it, and have ever since.
As a suggestion for something else to watch, here's one that probably hasn't been suggested yet- "Arsenic and Old Lace". It's an old one- from the 1940s- with Cary Grant and Peter Lorre, and is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Might be a fun change of pace.
If it hasn't been suggested yet... Haunted Honeymoon... Starring Wilder and his wife Gilda Radner... An unsung treasure
Your reactions have improved immensely from your earliest efforts. Don’t sweat trying to please everybody. It’s not possible. If you really want to watch this one again, do yourself a favor and watch the original Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein first. You’ll get a whole lot more of the jokes. Anyway, keep it up!
Thank You So Much, That Really Made My Day And Motivated Me A lot. And I’ll Definitely Watch The Original Frankenstein And Rewatch This.
The actors had such creative freedom that some scenes were hard to film. The crew just couldn't stop laughing.
Great Knockers!
Thanks!
Man I'm gonna miss Gene Wilder
Don't you already? He's been dead a few years now.
@@zeusathena26 dude every movie i seen gene wilder in i still miss him dude
You like Madeline Kahn? I think its time you watch Clue (1985)
I absolutely love the original but I can wait to see some Deadpool style humor in a new Clue.
If you dislike the movie or reaction, you're "Abby Normal"
MellVerse, you're correct. Great performances from all! 🎥 💓 🍿
OMG! YES you really should see the original 'Frankenstein' and 'Bride of Frankenstein' (because they really do go together) and then re-watch this. I'd be interested to see if you saw some things you may have missed the first go round.// This flick had me laughing our asses off (with my siblings). That damn girl on the see-saw flying through the window...every time...even watching your reaction, I was in hysterics. Thanks for the memories.
Yes, watch the first four or five originals. YF is even MORE impressive for incorporating elements from multiple films.
The streaks in Madeleine Kahn's hair after she was abducted by the monster are like the streaks in the Bride of Frankenstein.
RIP Cloris Leachman...
This is one of the movies I have ended up quoting randomly, most often. I say, "Taffeta, darling," instead of I love you, a lot (and of course, all my friends get it).
It's a real pleasure seeing you get the humor in these older movies. In order to really appreciate all the references you need to watch two movies from the 30s: Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein. He relied on these films, especially the second one in making this one, so if you take a look at them you will get more of the jokes. You rock!
When you watch the two original Frankenstein films, you will recognize so much from this film. It really is a labor of love in praise of the 30's thrillers. :)
The horses in 'Young Frankenstein' react violently to mention of Frau Blücher's name because it means 'glue' in German. Horses that are put down are often said to have been "sent to the glue factory".
Exept it doesn´t. In German "Klebstoff" or "Kleber" means Glue. Blücher might be the Brand Name of a Company that produced Glue.
Thank you for sharing that! I finally get it 😄! Awesome!!
If I remember correctly it might have something to do with a woman in nazi Germany. If I am right she might be one of the women who was called the bitch of where ever she was from. I just remember Mel Brooks talking about it either on the commentary on the dvd or a documentary. If I am wrong please let me know
@@arcdoorn7865 "Fürst Blücher" is the name of a sort of apple that was first grewn in prussia in 1880. So maybe the horses are just hungry?
And yes: "glue" translates to "Klebstoff" or "Klebe(r)" or in the case of glue made out of horses bones it would be "Leim".
@@wombatmommy5515 The nazi woman you mean is "Ilsa Koch" who was the basis for the infamous "She Wolf of the SS" exploitation movies. In real life she was known as "The witch of Buchenwald".
Dude I love the fact that you have silly music in your laugh breaks. Never change that.
Oh Absolutely Man, I Love Having Something Compliment The Mood And Nothing Compliments Better Than Music
11:28 was used in the “Dramatic Chipmunk” meme
A couple of fun notes about this movie. First, it is not really a full Mel Brooks movie...Gene Wilder actually wrote it, mostly. Mel needed Gene to play the Waco Kid in Blazing Saddles, so Gene said he would do that for Mel if Mel would direct Young Frankenstein for Gene Wilder. Also, the equipment in Gene Wilder's Frankenstein lab is actually the same props that were used on the classic 1931 Boris Karloff Frankenstein movie. ✌
Came here to mention that about the lab and the props. Really adds to the authenticity and underlines how the movie isn’t making fun of the original, it really is celebrating it, which is what the best parodies and satires do (like modern satires like Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, for instance).
Wow That Is Absolutely Amazing, Would Love To See How Gene Would've Directed Thus Film
@@HelloMellowXVI From what I recall of the story, Gene could not get Young Frankenstein made until he got Mel to direct...since Mel Brooks had just enough of a track record as a successful director. 😁
Dude just found your channel but love the reactions!!
Wow Thank You So Much. It's An Absolute Pleasure To Connect This Passion With You All
Actually, if you asking me, I'd say the Greatest Gene Wilder (a la Mel Brooks, so, no Willy Wonker) is Leo in "The Producers"
The Producers Is Coming Soon Can't Wait To See The Performance
That is a great performance...but as great as it is, I think Gene's work with Richard Pryor in Stir Crazy was just a tiny bit more great. ✌
Well Definitely Have To Check That Out
@@HelloMellowXVI Make sure you watch the original one with Gene Wilder first. The remake with Matthew Broderick is good, but the original is better.
If you are a Steve Martin fan, you should do "The Man With Two Brains", or "The Jerk".
And Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
And Roxanne
You've got a strong sense of humor, man. I really enjoy your reactions to The Holy Grail, this, and Blazing Saddles, and I'm stoked for you to watch Robin Hood.
I need you to hear me on this though, because this movie is a slept on comedy...You need to watch The Grand Budapest Hotel. I don't even know how to describe the sense of humor, but it's a riot.
Wow Thank You So Much And Grand Budapest Hotel Is A Wes Andersen Movie Right?
Absolutely! I would love to see a reaction to The GBH.
@@HelloMellowXVI Almost any Wes Anderson film would be good, but it is a strange sense of humor. I agree on GBH but would also suggest Moonrise Kingdom.
@@HelloMellowXVI, indeed it is. I had never heard of the man until I saw the Budapest in theaters.
also, don't miss the life aquatic with steve zissou.
I've subscribed just because you expressed your appreciation for Gene Wilder.
Gene's style of acting made this movie gold, He is fantastic.
IMO, this is Mel Brooks best "film". Great reaction/review! Word has it, Gene told Mel he could cowrite and direct, but couldn't be in the film. Also Teri Garr, so beautiful. Enjoying what you are putting out there!
You asked if the police inspector was a cyborg. No. The actor portraying him was Kenneth Mars. In noticed that the character in the original film "Frankenstein" was a stiff military man. The term used for this type of person is 'marionette'. So he played the character as if were a puppet with wooden limbs with gears at the joints. Very glad you enjoyed this film.
The character DID have a wooden arm. Weren't you paying attention at the end? "...to the lumber mill!" He had lost his arm to the previous monster, that is what made him an expert.
@@mikejankowski6321 I am repeating the story they actor gave on his performance. Also an amputee with a prosthetic arm is not the same as a cyborg.
It’s a reference to Inspector Krogh from Son of Frankenstein who had an artificial arm after the Frankenstein monster ripped it out when he was younger.
We should all take as much enjoyment from life as Igor does.
I think I read somewhere that Gene Wilder actually wrote the first draft of the script, then gave it to Mel Brooks to edit and write the final draft so as to give it an actual chance to be made in to a film. Hence why this film has some of Gene's best acting
My favorite of all the Mel Brooks films. Saw it my freshman year of college (spring 1975) and laughed so hard throughout. It's also fun to see his stable of actors he often cast in his films. Gene WIlder, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Harvey Korman. His character actors were often reused in the films. The guy he was experimenting on at the beginning (the one he kneed in the groin) was the one who played the minister in Blazing Saddles. The late great Marty Feldman was so perfect in this role. He was a funny man.
Mellow, the look on your face when you saw Frau Blücher for the first time! 😂 I was eating Cheerios and they came out my nose when I laughed.
Frau Blücher!
Don't worry about the haters. Ignore them. You're a cool guy.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Gene Wilder!
Not to be a big movie snob but that one's called Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. We don't want the Burton/Depp version, I mean it's Okay but on a lower level. IMO👍
@@richardrobbin2225 yeah you're right.
Deffinatly another one of Gene Wilders gems.
@@richardrobbin2225 they are both great and different
Wilder: What a filthy job!
Feldman: Could be worse.
Wilder: How?
Feldman: Could be raining.
My favorite comedy movie ever! I've watched it once a year for the past 30 years and it never fails to make me smile.😊
I enjoyed your reaction and am glad you appreciated the film's humor even though you probably haven't seen the movies that it is spoofing. Wilder based his original story and the look of the film on the old Universal Studios "Frankenstein" series of the 30s and 40s, especially the first three--"Frankenstein", "Bride of Frankenstein", and "Son of Frankenstein", with several of the comedy scenes directly based on serious ones (Igor stealing the wrong brain, the creation scene, the Monster befriending a blind hermit, the constable with the wooden arm, etc.). Having a love for these original classics makes this affectionate spoof even more satisfying. A bit of trivia: the actor whose accent you liked at 28:46 is Norbert Schiller, who was in the 1958 film "Frankenstein 1970" with Boris Karloff in which his brain ends up in the skull of the Monster.
The thing about Mel Brooks movies is you have to watch them a few times, there are always little things in them people miss the first time. ie When Gene wilder was going up stairs the first time the candles weren't even light
You should check out some of Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor movies too
The lab was the lab used in the original movie from 1931!
Wow That's Crazy That It Was Still Intact!
@@HelloMellowXVI It was in a garage that was owned by the man who did the original set design. Mel had to convince the mans son to let him use it.
@@HelloMellowXVI Kenneth Strickfaden, who was a film set designer, and premier electrical special creator,who had worked on the original Frankenstein, had kept the props from the film and lent them to Mel Brooks for the film.
You really should check out Yellow Beard ... it's got a lot of the old school comedy folks ... the Monty Python crew ... Cheech and Chong and Peter Boyle also it was Marty Feldmens last movie ... he passed away while still filming ... give it a go man !
He'll like it cause Madeline Kahn is in it.. I'm sure.
YES! A 100 times YES!!
11:35 - That music was used in the “Dramatic Gopher” meme
The reason the horses whinny when they say her name is that "Bleucher" means glue in German and horses used to be slaughtered and made into glue.
This is my favorite movie. In my opinion, Peter Boyle owned this role. Not being able to talk but showing emotions with just his movements and facial expressions. They all killed it but Peter Boyle was my favorite. Every so often me and my sister sing "Put it on the Ritz" in our Monster voice.
Want more Gene Wilder, watch "The Producers" 1967.
The stage musical adaptation will be celebrating it’s 20th anniversary this year!
Good to see you back! I know you’re gonna love this movie. Thanks for brightening my day! Much love
Thank You So Much! Glad To Be Back And I Love This Movie
If you’re still wondering about that music in the beginning when Frankenstein first saw the castle. Have you seen that RUclips video with the Dramatic Gopher turning his head? In the background you’ll hear the music when he turns, it’s rather faint but still...
I've seen this movie at least 100 times.. and I just enjoyed watching it with you like it was the 1st time!
YES !! 🤣
I laughed my ass off. 👍
God, that violin music in the beginning ALWAYS gets me! I hear it, and I KNOW I'm in for some great laughs. No matter how many times I watch it, it's always hilarious! 🤣👍
Fun fact, the werewolf you hear while they're on their way to the castle was Mel Brooks
I think he did the raawwrr!! cat noise when they're playing darts too. 😄😄
@@richardrobbin2225 You are correct sir.

We're there-wolves NOT swear-wolves, got it?
Please get this reference 🐺
@Atheos B. Sapien
Okay, sorry it's cool.
What we do in the Shadows comedic thing. Wilder was the Man🤘🤘
You should try “Dracula, Dead and loving it” I think u would love it.
I remember watching this movie for the first time when I was like 6 years old. And I’m 33 now and this movie is still one of my top 10 favorite films that inspired me to get into acting & film work.
I grew up on Mel Brooks and Monty Python and Young Frankenstein is my absolute favorite comedy, not to mention one of my top 20 favorite films overall. Mel does sort of have a cameo in this one, he provided the voice work for the wolf howling ("there wolf! there castle!") and the cat that got nailed by the stray dart.
You should watch “Silent Movie” by Mel Brooks. It’s a silent movie about making a silent movie in a time when silent movies are dead. Marty Feldman and Mel Brooks play main characters
You would also like “What’s Up Doc?” It’s a fantastic movie full of slapstick. Madeleine Kahn and the guys who play the constable and the really skinny old guy in the beginning are in it
Two big thumbs up for the gratuitous clip of the greatest artist ever, PRINCE!! :D
What he was trying to show the class was that the brain is the communication center of the body. It sends signals that allow the body to function and how it can effectively be interrupted by the clamp.
Wilder wrote this during Blazing Saddles. Brooks said the only fight they had was over the song Puttin On The Ritz. Brooks said it went too far and Wilder fought for it. Brooks said since he fought so hard for it, he knew it had to be good.
a bit sad you didn't mentioned arti. Hand wearing a monokel over his eyepatch xD
btw. the gag with Frankenstone: Stein is the german word for stone^^
13:00. Frankenstein (pronounced Franken-shtine), in German.
Stein (shtine) in German means “stone”
One of my top 3 comedies of all time. So authentic in the way it paid tribute to the original Frankenstein. Gene Wilder was brilliant as always
16:11 “How I did it” is funny because the original novel completely glosses over how it was done.
A few Halloweens Ago, I dressed up as Gene Wilder for the day. I have hair like his and it was a so much fun being Young Frankenstein. I think I'll do it again in the future but get a whole group together.
That Does Sound So Fun. Hope You Went To Some Nice Parties To And Didn't Let It Go To Waste!
@@HelloMellowXVI oh i did and had a great time. Next time, I want to have a friend goes as the creature and at one point, have us do a song and dance with a top hat and cane. 😆
25 Gene Wilders as a Young Fredrick Frankenstein. Get those guys going through the Mall Of America.
@@danielingalls8980 I was thinking about a group of us as different characters in Young Frankenstein but I like that idea too. We will see :)
Please, ALSO add to the list, "The Producers" 2005 and also 1967. Freaking laugh Riots!
That moment at 31:55 had to be redone an absurd amount of times, all because Igor’s actor kept accidentally biting off some fluff from her scarf, setting the cast off into uncontrollable laughter over and over again.
That music score from when the Castle is 1st seen was used in every opening skit of Aqua Teen Hunger Force with that crazy mad scientist and his assistant!
Bro you totally gotta watch Silver Streak. It's Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor
See no Evil Hear no Evil is funny too
Silver Streak is great -- a funny, scary, murder mystery spoof of Alfred Hitchcock movies. A must see!
"Hey, Vegeta! What does the scouter say about his subscriber level?"
I'm definitely on an insomniac rabbit hole of watching your videos and I'm so happy to be down this rabbit hole!
I was probably seven or eight years old when my parents showed me this movie. In my family, Mel Brooks movies are a constant staple in our movie collections as well as in our conversation, as we are constantly quoting his films. It makes me so happy that you're enjoying these movies!
The joke with Frau Blucher is that her name means "glue" in German, which if you didn't know, is made from dead horse hooves. Didn't learn that for many years, but it's one of my favorite jokes.
Not according to Google Translate. Best I could find was a Prussian Field Marshall.
Love these reactions, some of my fav movies being reacted to is always amazing, your reactions are some of the most genuine I've seen. Keep it up 🙂
Fun fact the 'walk this way' gag was the reason aerosmith titles their song of the same name as they went to see this film while recording 🙂
Wow Thank You So Much. That Really Means Alot, And I Love Hearing How Legendary Things Inspired Iconic Things
glad to have found this channel, remembering old movies could not be better!
Young man... It is such a delight to see you watching these movies I grew up with. Because of folks like you, my childhood loves are alive and well. I'm a new subscriber and very much appreciate you sharing your experiences with these movies. Thank you VERY much and I wish you and yours an awesome new year!!!
