*YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN* Movie Reaction FIRST TIME WATCHING

What's ur fav Mel Brooks? SPACEBALLS: https://youtu.be/NkgHAGWk1G8 1970's Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQHhQlj8i5drsQGfFSKqYoo…

Pretty much all of the laboratory equipment is actually from the original film, complete with the original cobwebs LOL. The producers couldn't believe their luck when they found out that it had been in storage all this time.

CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING ONE OF THE ONLY REACTORS TO CATCH THAT THE CAMEO IS GENE HACKMAN. It blows my mind how many people miss it completely. You just made a Jen fan into an even BIGGER Jen fan. ^_^

FUN FACT: Gene Hackman ad-libbed the "I was going make espresso." line. Mel Brooks and the crew thought it was hilarious. Hackman himself thought it was so funny that he couldn't do any more takes of it without busting out laughing. So, what we see in the movie is the one and only usable take of the scene they had.

This was some of Mel Brooks’ best work. Marty Feldman as Igor was one of his best performances ever, he steals every scene and Gene Wilder was fantastic as Dr Frankenstein, RIP to the both of them.

"Stay close to the candles. The staircase can be treacherous." Want to guess how many times I watched this before I noticed that the candles aren't even lit?

In Frankenstein (1931), the creature encounters a young girl throwing flowers into a pond, so that they float. The creature happily joins in, but when they run out of flowers, he throws the girl in, not understanding the difference, and she drowns. So that scene where she asks what they should throw in next, and he looks at the camera is a direct reference to that film. As if to say to the audience "I know what you're all thinking." At the end, when the creature's new wife comes out of the bathroom and her hair is done up in a sort of beehive hairdo, with white streaks, and she hisses, that's a direct reference to Bride of Frankenstein (1935). In that film, they create a mate for the creature, she has that hair style, and she hisses when first exposed to the creature.

Regarding Blucher and the horses, it became an urban myth (with some help from Leachman) that the name means glue in German, which it doesn’t. Glue in German is kleber. The reaction to her name is just meant to imply she’s a frightening person. Gene Wilder on the DVD says “Lord only knows what she does to them when no one’s around.”

That was Peter Boyle as “the creature”. I always had a big crush on Teri Garr for many years 🥰.

They wanted Madeline Kahn to playing Inga, but she had just done a German accent in Blazing Saddles abd asked to play the fiancé. Teri Garr was in casting and tried out. "Can you do an accent?" She broke out into this. Cloris Leachman improvised the asking Gene if he wanted the various drinks. Gene almost breaks. The gag reel is mainly takes of Igor biting the shawl. In one take, he bit a leg off. Gene kept breaking. Marty kept switching what side his hump was on. Gene mentions it because they had only just noticed he had been doing that. Mel Brooks' cameo was making the sound of the cat being hit by a dart. Gene didnt want Mel to be in the film. All of Frankenstein's equipment was the original film's stuff. The builder had kept it all. Gene Hackman had never done a comedy. He was in a tennis club with Gene and asked for a part. Due to issues related to management etc., Hackman was originally uncredited.

I read that Aerosmith took a break from the studio to see this movie in the theater. Inspiration for their song "Walk this way" they loved this movie 😅

"Werewolf?" "There we olf, there castle." My late sister and I used to do thst sequence to each other at random times.

Gene Wilder was afraid that Mel would try and steal scenes, so he agreed to not be in the film, but he did do some of the voices in background. Marty Feldman's "damned eyes" were caused by having chronic thyroid disease, probably Graves' Disease. Not many recognized Gene Hackman as the blindman, well done, Jen. Some people also didn't notice that the Inspector, played by Kenneth Mars, was wearing a monocle over his eyepatch.

I saw this when it came out in theatres. I died laughing. I watched it again a couple months ago and I died laughing. TIMELESS CLASSIC!!!

Fun Fact: This film inspired my country's band to take name Eppu Normaali (native translation of Abby Normal) when they started playing in 1976. Band is still playing actively.

Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, Men in Tights, History of the World Part 1..... Mel Brooks' work is genius.

“…Aaaaaaaaa-I ain’t got nobody.” -Eye-gore

"Mr Hilltop" is the Preacher from Blazing Saddles

Supposedly, “Young Frankenstein” is intended to be a satire of the 1931 original. But the two films that it actually draws from quite heavily are the sequels “Son of Frankenstein” (1939) and “The Ghost of Frankenstein” (1942).

I suggest the movie "See No Evil, Hear No Evil". It's with Gene Wilder and Richard Rryor .
