What our customer's say!

"Young Frankenstein", This is one of Mel Brook's best. A great cast and is a staple in our household for Halloween. It can be watched many times and still make you laugh.

"Lukewarm", This will be short and to the point - I was not overwhelmed by this movie. I saw it live in the movie theatre and now own it on DVD, but frankly, despite the rave reviews by so many other critics, I simply do not find this movie "hilarious".

It is well acted, (terrific cast!) well-directed, and the sets are fantastic, but the jokes are so tongue-in-cheek and so laid-back that they failed to move me to laughter. I did smile a few times, but over all, I was not overwhelmed by this 1970's comedy.

Sorry I disagree with the majority, but as far as comedies go, this gets just 3 of 5 stars from me.

"Always Makes Me Laugh", No matter how often I watch this movie, it always makes me laugh and is one of the best comedies made. I think it is Mel Brook's best work.

Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Peter Boyle, Cloris Leachman, Teri Garr, Madeline Kahn and Gene Hackman are are perfect in their timing and execution. It is hard to pick which part I enjoy the most with all the classic lines - Wilder trying to distance himself from his family name as Frederick Fronkensteen, which elicits Eyegor, Abby Normal, the list goes on. Hackman and Boyle together, just a hilarious scene.

If want to add to your comedy collection, and somehow do not have this DVD, you should get it.


"Top Notch Mel Brooks", Mel Brooks at his best in this crazy rendition of the Frankenstein story. There's a laugh around every corner. Comedy was brilliantly married with macabre while staying somewhat true to the story we grew up watching. Brooks even films it in B&W, paying homage to those times and providing just the right amount of "spook factor." I've seen it many times and still sometimes see something else in it that I don't remember seeing before. The casting was suberb as well. Highly recommended.

"YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ", A COMEDY CLASSIC!!!! GREAT MOVIE FULL OF GREAT LINES!!! ALWAYS CHASES THE BLUES AWAY!!! A MUST SEE IF YOU HAVEN'T SEE THIS ONE!!!

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Comparison of Anamorphic Release and "Special Edition"", Lest readers' noses find themselves getting out of joint, please understand that Young Frankenstein itself is five stars all the way. However, the release, not the film, is under review here, so bear with me and read on.
First, the content of the newer, anamorphic release--including the menus, extras, and commentaries--is identical to that of the older Special Edition which it replaces. This is a good thing because Fox has apparently decided to go just as cheapo as the other studios by not including a hard-copy chapter index. One was included with the Special Edition and since the chapters are exactly the same (unlike, say, Some Like It Hot, in which the two releases are divided differently), I retained it for my upgrade copy. While in the process of making the switch, I also noticed that the Special Edition's DVD case was made of heavier, sturdier plastic, so I swapped out the cover art as well (although I actually prefer the old cover art to the new, and the copy is also identical; in fact, I prefer everything about the Special Edition except the fact that it's not anamorphic).
I compared both prints by watching half of the film on each disk and frankly, I can't see or hear a difference in quality or aspect ratio. I don't have a widescreen TV (yet...hope springs eternal), so the fact that the new release is anamorphic doesn't mean anything to me at present.
Bottom line: unless you have a widescreen set, you probably shouldn't bother upgrading your copy. Given the ins and outs of DVD production, it's not unlikely that yet ANOTHER release will turn up by the time you purchase a new TV, so might as well get as much mileage as you can until then.

"Zany", What a classic! You will laugh all thru this movie. I can't stop laughing when I see Marty Feldman and that wicked eye.

"A lot funnier than I expected it to be.", Young Frankenstein (Mel Brooks, 1974)

I watched two movies over the weekend I'd only ever seen pieces of before and figured, from the pieces I'd seen, that I'd hate. One was Dr. Strangelove, and it fulfilled my expectations. Young Frankenstein was the other, and this time, I have to say, I was quite wrong. Young Frankenstein is superb all the way around. (It probably helps that I had a recent re-watch of James Whale's Frankenstein under my belt, for those of you who haven't seen it yet.)

The plot concerns Dr. Frederick Frankenstein ("that's FRONK-en-shteen") (Gene Wilder), the grandson of Victor, the doctor in the original. He's spent years trying to get rid of the family taint, which all comes spiralling down around him when he inherits the old castle and the accompanying lab. Leaving behind his cloying, uptight fiancée Elizabeth (Madeline Kahn), he travels to the castle and meets the staff-- Igor (Marty Feldman), Inga (Teri Garr), and Frau Blucher (Cloris Leachman). Surreptitiously encouraged by Inga, Frederick becomes obsessed with the idea of repeating the experiments of his grandfather, and soon, the new monster (Peter Boyle) comes to life. The rest of the movie is half homage to James Whale's original and half screwball comedy.

The real strength of this movie is the cast; Mel Brooks could've sat back and pointed a camera, and they could make this work. Wilder, Boyle, Feldman, Leachman, Garr, Kahn, Gene Hackman, and Richard Haydn (in his final film) are all either in career-best form of darned close to it here. All are actors with impeccable comic timing (yes, even Gene Hackman), and it often seems as if Brooks just said "okay, do whatever it is you were planning to do, then put it way over the top." The result is in no way a sophisticated comedy; this is just a straightforward gut-buster with dozens, if not hundreds of quotable one-liners and great sight gags. One for the books. ****



"great movie", Love Gene Wilder and Peter Boyle. I bought this movie for my grandson. He kept saying he was going to get this but couldn't find it anywhere. I told him go to Amazon he can find anything that he needs.

"The Doctor Is In!", WARNING: This film may lead to incontinence due to hysterical laughter!

Mel Brooks' 1974 film, Young Frankenstein is arguably the funniest film ever made. Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks, who had previously collaborated on The Producers and Blazing Saddles, wrote the script together. This film is a superbly crafted parody of the Universal Frankenstein films.

The story begins with young Doctor Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced Fronkensteen) discovering that he has inherited his great-grandfather's Transylvanian mansion. Upon his arrival Dr. Frankenstein meets Igor (pronounced Eye-Gore), an eccentric servant with a hunched back. He is also introduced to the vivacious vixen, Inga who just wants "to have a roll in ze hay." Before long Frederick discovers the secret library of his infamous grandfather, Victor von Frankenstein and becomes totally obsessed with creating a "monster" of his own. Naturally this doesn't go over well with the local peasantry. After the monster goes on a rampage of terror (or more accurately a rampage of hilarity), the villagers form an angry mob and set out to destroy it. But don't worry, all's well that ends well in the world of Mel Brooks.

The gags in the film are hilarious (I won't ruin them for any of you yet to see the film). The satire is heightened by the brilliance of the set design, and by the black and white cinematography, which perfectly captures the look of classic horror films. The cast is terrific especially Gene Wilder as the infirm Dr. Frankenstein, Marty Feldman as the zany hunchback Igor, Teri Garr as the delightfully ditzy assistant Inga, Madeline Kahn as Dr. Frankenstein's obnoxious and vain fiancée, Kenneth Mars as the one-armed Inspector Kemp, Cloris Leachman as the mysterious Frau Blucher whose name incites terror in the hearts of all horses, and Peter Boyle as the mumbling monster. Also look for a memorable cameo appearance by Gene Hackman.

As often as Young Frankenstein is referred to as being "the greatest comedy ever", it's odd that it never received any awards for its talented cast and crew. They certainly deserved them. There are few works of comedic genius out there today, for which I am grateful to Mel Brooks for giving us this loony masterpiece to watch again and again.

The DVD features some great supplemental material including cast interviews, an audio commentary with Mel Brooks reminiscing about the making of the film, production stills, trailers and TV spots, a wonderful documentary, seven deleted scenes and an outrageously funny blooper reel (watch the documentary before the blooper reel for maximum effect).

And remember next time a reanimated corpse is on the loose that "A riot is an ugly thing... und I think it is just about time that we have one!"
