Young Frankenstein

[jokerthief]

What does OOT think of this film? It's on Bravo right now. Never seen it, thinking about setting aside some time for it.

[diebitter]

Extremely classy to look at, and funny. Watch it!

It's Mel Brooks, and stands alongside Blazing Saddles and the Producers as his 3 best films by far.

[Colonel Kataffy]

Its one of my personal favorites.

This is an absolute classic and should be in everyone's collection!

Three word review: "Young Teri Garr"

I also like the parts with Frau Blucher! (Cue sound of horse whinnying in the background)

[diebitter]

"Werewolf?"
"There - wolf. There - castle."

I don't know why, but I LMAO every time with that one.

Same here! Marty Feldman as Igor is out of this world. e.g.

Igor: You know, I'll never forget my old dad. When these things would happen to him... the things he'd say to me.

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: What did he say?

Igor: "What the hell are you doing in the bathroom day and night? Why don't you get out of there and give someone else a chance?"

[jnalpak]

Igor: Do you also say "Froaderick"?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No..."Frederick."
Igor: Well, why isn't it "Froaderick Fronkensteen"?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: It isn't it's "Frederick Fronensteen."
Igor: I see.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: You must be eegor.
Igor: No, it's pronounced "eye-gor."
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: But they told me it was "ee-gor."
Igor: Well, they were wrong then, weren't they?

"Roll, Roll, Roll in the hay"

very funny.

[diebitter]

Ah, that bit where the gorgeous Terri Gar goes on about how if there was any way she can ease the doctor's tension...

not so much a woody, more like a titanium-y, is all I'm saying....

[jokerthief]

I did end up watching it and it sucked ass!


Just kidding, it was pretty good. I love Gene Wilder, his delivery is [censored] perfect. Best part was the song and dance that the Dr. and Frankenstein did. Frankenstein singing almost made me cry.

The scene with Gene Hackman is still one of my all-time favorites. The look on Peter Boyle's face when he sees he's on fire...

He's been around for years. In his later years, he's gotten a bit typecast but he showed a lot of range in his early stuff.

Check The Friends of Eddie Coyle. I love that movie. Him and Mitchum.

Young Frankenstein was great too. So many good moments, and Gene Wilder was so damn great back then. What a great comedic actor.

I think one of my favorite moments was when he finally truly becomes his father's son -- a madman -- and his face lights up as lightning flashes, to reveal a painting right behind him with the exact same crazed expression.

And Igor was a stone gas, brotha.

Madeleine Khan was really good too.

And another one of my favorite lines: "He's going to be very popular."

Remember when Igo says to Dr. Frankenstein "Walk this way..." and he just follows. Igor meant walk stooped over with a shuffle step /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Anyway, that scene inspired Aeosmith's song "Walk This Way".

And now you know...

the rest

story!

Woof!

I miss Madeleine Khan. It's too bad she died so young and we didn't get a chance to see a lot more of her before she went.

[Blarg]

Terri Garr never looked better. Strangely, she never even looked remotely close to that good again. My guess is she went in for some pretty hard core partying after that movie. She looked like she had alcoholic dementia on a lot of interview shows.

I think Teri Garr looked pretty good in Mr. Mom and Tootsie. She was well into her thirties then but still had it together!

I'm actually watching Young Frankenstein right now on DVD.

Teri Garr = "Voof!"

Are you telling me that scene inspired the following words?

Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
Can I talk to ya my daddy said
Said you aint seen nothin til your down on a muffin
and you sure to be a changin' your ways

I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder
Ah, the times I could reminisce
'Cause the best things in lovin'
with her sister and her cousin
only started with a little kiss
like this...

That's quite a stretch.

[tek]

They used the phrase in the song (and obviously the title). They were fans of the movie and thought that scene was the funniest.

[RustedCorpse]

Yea I've read that a couple different places as well. The lyrics had been mostly written (at one point in a stairwell) and during one of the rehersal breaks or something they went to see it and wanted at least the title to draw from Mel Brooks. I don't think the lyrics were inspired by the film, but it's generally accepted that's where the title is from.

[WDC]

He was great in Where the Buffalos Roam
