Make na reaction for another Mel Brooks's movie called Dracula: Dead and I loving it or movies based on video games, like Mortal Kombat (from 2021) or Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021)
The hump moving wasn't originally part of the script. Marty Feldman was doing on his own surreptitiously and when the cast noticed, the y loved it so much that they wrote the gag into the script.
Fun fact, for Frankenstein's laboratory, they actually got the original props from the 1930s films. And the white streaks in Elizabeth's hair are callbacks to The Bride of Frankenstein. The original Frankenstein novel by Mary Shelly, is a classic work of English literature. I think it's one of the first gothic horror novels ever written. But it's VERY different from the original movie. The Monster's speech at the end of this movie directly quotes from the original novel. "if I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear"
The novel was a feminist work. It was about men creating life then running away from it. Hollywood made it Christian vs science, where science was the villian. But Dr. Frankenstein didn't use science in the novel, he used alchemy. Alchemy isn't science, it's ancient magic.
chi is TOO SWEET FOR WORDS! 🤭 i wish i can see her face when she learned what the doctor got from the monster 😂 thank you for a GREAT REACTION LADIES! 👍☺
Well, I think Tien and Lan have gotten more accustomed to jokes like that, since they’ve been watching _Family Guy_ (considering that Seth MacFarlane definitely owes a lot of his sense of humor to Mel Brooks). 😄
Mel Brooks once said that of all the movies he directed, Young Frankenstein is the one he's most proud of. I watch it every Halloween. By the way, all three of you are adorable.❤😘
@@airborngrmp1 I had a crush on Terri Garr so I definitely agree with your comment. I didn't recognize Gene Hackman, one of my favorite actors since I saw him playing Popeye Doyle in the FRENCH CONNECTION.😀
In the original Frankenstein film, the monster meets the young girl by the lake. She throws flowers on the lake and they float. The monster then throws the girl into the lake, thinking she will float too. But when she doesn't resurface, he panicks and leaves. That dark scene was redone in this parody as a comedic scene.
The studio didn't want it to be in Black & White as they thought people would not go and see it. Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder insisted because they wanted it to be true to the original 1930's movies that they were parodying. I think it makes it so much better, Brooks and Wilder were right.
"Roll in the hay" is a Western rural expression. When a boy and girl like each other they can't go to the house because your parents are in the house so they go to the barn and have a "roll in the hay."
I was hoping they would catch this-it is quite obvious as Terri Garr is rolling back and forth, but this is so funny for those that know this reference. “Roll, roll, roll en za hay’”
I think my favourite bit of this reaction was seeing how quickly Tien picked up on every sexual innuendo contrasted with how oblivious Chi was to them...
I just double-checked “He would have an enormous scwanstücher”. Over their heads, including Tien. Americans didn’t know what a schwanstücher” meant, but we laughed because we could imagine 🍆
It often has more layers too. Like several layers of choclate cake and whipped cream and one layer of cherry jello. Some even have a layer of chocolate cream. It used to be my favourite cakes (without alkohol though).
8:08 It's a reference to the Glenn Miller song Chattanooga Choo Choo. "Pardon me, boy, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?" "Yes, yes, Track 29!" "Boy, you can give me a shine." (A shoe shine.)
Good call. Not many people usually catch that. And until this viewing, I don't remember catching it before. My mother (now 94 years old) certainly would have noticed it.
Marty Feldman, who plays Igor, was born with a medical condition that produced the bulging eyes that they joke about. He has a deadpan delivery that makes anything he says funny however it is written. He was also in Mel Brooks' Silent Movie, one of his movies that nobody seems to react to. That was a satire of silent movies, as the name suggests.
Young Frankenstein is a classic and it’s a tribute to the original Frankenstein movie. Fun fact, Young Frankenstein was nominated for best adapted screenplay at the Oscars but lost to another great movie: The Godfather Part II.
The main actor in this movie plays Willy Wonka in the movie "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" from 1971. It is an incredibly special movie that is TONS OF FUN, extremely unique, hilarious, emotional, and easily one of the greatest musicals of all time!!!! It is his most iconic and widely known role that he was most famous for!!! PLEASE WATCH IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!!
That old man that was used in Dr. Frankenstein's experiment was also the preacher in Blazing Saddles (Liam Dunn) Dr. Frankenstein's fiancée was Lilli von Shtuppe in Blazing Saddles (Madalyn Kahn). Igor was played by Marty Feldman. He had a condition called Graves' disease and Thyroid Eye disease. The voice of the werewolf when Dr. Frankenstein, Inga and Igor were riding to the castle and the voice of the cat when Dr. Frankenstein threw the dart was the director, Mel Brooks.
It was so funny that Chi talked about the difficulty of pronouncing names . . . and then right away we had the whole Frankenstein / Fronkunsteen bit! 😆
1. Mr. Hilltop/Liam Dunn also played the preacher in "Blazing Saddles". 2. I first saw this at a drive-in (that's still here BTW) and there was a lunar eclipse over the screen that made it even cooler than it already was. 3. The studio wanted this in color but Brooks and Wilder insisted black and white because they wanted the old school tone. 4. This movie is Wilder's baby, and he agreed to do "Blazing Saddles" only if Brooks would direct and help write this movie. 5. It was almost impossible to get through the "You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban" scene. Everyone kept cracking up. You can see Wider trying not to laugh. 6. Igor's hump changing sides was Feldman's running gag on the cast and it was kept in the movie. 7. Marty Feldman's walleyed orbs were the result of both a hyperactive thyroid and a botched operation after a car accident before his 30th birthday, in 1963. 8. FUN FACT: Igor's "Walk this way" was Steven Tyler's inspiration for hit song of the same name. 9. Wilder also insisted that Brooks NOT be seen on film. However, the screeching cat and the wolf are Mel. 10. Light reflecting off of the monster's missing teeth is not a goof. It's on purpose. 11. Monical over an eye-patch.🤣 12. "Puttin' on the Ritz" will never be the same again.
@Poisonedblade For me it's the follow up joke "WHAT THE HELL YOU DOING IN THE BATHROOM DAY AND NIGHT? WHY DON'T YOU GET OUT OF THERE AND GIVE SOMEONE ELSE A CHANCE!?" (A lot funnier now as an adult though🤣)
In my opinion, this is the funniest Mel Brooks film going. He and Gene Wilder wrote the screen play together. Wilder was perfect for the role of the "mad doctor" and Marty Feldman was brilliant as Igor.
The actor playing inspector Kemp was in a lot of movies. One unnoticeable film he was in was the original Disney animated Little Mermaid. He did the voice of King Triton.
Kenneth Mars also played the insufferable Croatian musicologist Hugh Simon in the film "What's Up, Doc?", which is a wonderful tribute to the screwball comedies of the 30s and 40s starring Barbara Streisand and Ryan O'Neal.
a wonderful Movie Munchies movie reaction ... it's Alive! it's Alive! with laughter and fun. Thank you Ladies for sharing another delightful movie reaction with the viewers.
The song Chattanooga Choo-Choo" had the lyrics, "Pardon me, Boy. Is that the Chattanooga Choo-Choo. Track 29; can I give you a shine." (or lyrics to that effect)
In a interview Stevin Tyler said that Aerosmith was stuck for some lyrics so they took a break and went to see this movie. When Eyegore said to walk this way that gave them the idea for the song Walk this Way. The Scientist got the monster's skill at pleasing a woman.
I would strongly recommend the first three Universal "Frankenstein" movies (the ones with Boris Karloff as the Monster), from which most of this film's humor is derived. They are a great movie-watching experience.
What a refreshing and fun to watch reaction. My first time with your channel but already subscribed! 52:59 Yes being able to watch the originals does make it even funnier! Young Frankenstein actually parodies the first four Frankenstein films: Frankenstein (1931), Bride Of Frankenstein (1935), Son Of Frankenstein (1939) and Ghost of Frankenstein (1942). Briefly the original 1931 film is reflected in the overall premise, the use of the original Kenneth Strickfaden lab equipment found in his garage (the equipment, not Kenneth!), and the ALIVE scene. in the original the doctor says "Alive Alive It's ALIVE. In the name of God now I know what it feels like to BE God!" which, along with the girl with the flowers scene, was censored after the original first aired and restored later. Bride of Frankenstein gave us Madeline Kahn's slivery hairdo, her hissing at the creature (it was originally Elsa Lanchester - the actress in the intro of Bride that played Mary Shelly), the blind hermit (Gene Hackman) and the emphasis on the creature's love of music. In the original BRIDE the monster, when offered the cigar by the hermit, actually grabs it with his thumb sticking out. Someone was really paying attention! Son of Frankenstein introduced Ygor (played by Bela Lugosi) who also played a horn like the one shown, often from atop the castle. It also gave us Inspector Kemp with the wooden arm. In Son Of the inspector was Inspector Krough, who revealed his arm was torn out by the creature. There was also a dart game between them. I n Ghost of Frankenstein Ygor is again present and connived his way into getting a transference of his intellect into the creature's body in a scene very similar to scene in Young Frankenstein where Frederick transfers some of this intellect to the creature. More similarities exist but this is way too long as it is!
Even "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man" is touched upon in the finale, with the Monster and a man strapped to side-by-side lab tables awaiting a transference.
@@porflepopnecker4376 Quite right but that was 1943. In 1941's Ghost of Frankenstein a similar transference scene was done. Good call. And I think Frank Meets WOLF has the eeriest, most effective opening scene with the two grave robbers!
The equipment in the lab scene where the monster was created in "Young Frankenstein," was the very same original equipment and/or props featured in the ORIGINAL Frankenstein movie of 1931.
When the Dr. gets to Transylvania Station, the lines of the young boy are from an old song called "Chatanooga Choo Choo" about someone traveling on a train which leaves from Pennsylvania Station. So it's all a big play on words from the original.
One of my father's favorite movies. I really appreciate you giving this movie a shot, ladies, but you really should've watched the original three Boris Karloff movies ("Frankenstein", "Bride of Frankenstein" and "Son of Frankenstein") first to truly understand everything this movie was parodying.
They were obviously able to film this in color if they wanted to, so the black and white nature of the film is a stylistic choice that I think works very well. It is meant to make everything dark and gritty and more closely match the original.
Dresses and makeup aside, I cannot imagine this being any better in color because it would distract from the mood. Haunting, scary, mysterious, dramatic - B&W can give you all of that with such impact.
Names are the hardest because they're the most likely not to follow the rules of pronunciation. Mel Brooks' name follows the rules though :) Brooks rhymes with books.
The hump migrating from one side to other started out as a prank by Marty Feldman (Ygor). The movie had been in production for a few days before anyone caught on, and Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks thought it was so funny that they incorporated it into the movie.
the original Frankenstein movie and book was about man trying to be God by creating life. And the folly of such pride and hubris. The book is a lil deeper. The original movie with Boris Karlov was a breakthrough in makeup and special effects of the time. Its a short book worth reading. In the book and original movie the lil girl gets killed by the monster.
I fell in love with Teri Garr because of this movie. ( Inga the blonde lab assistant) There's another movie with Gean Wilder, Morty Feldman, and Madeline Kahn call Sherlock Holmes Smarter Brother. It's not a Mel Brooks movie but it has the same kind of humor. It's not as well known and a little hard to find but it's a good time. And you still need to watch Kelly's Heroes. The Clint Eastwood World War 2 comedy.
Chi starts off strong: "You scared me to hell...out of hell, actually"😂😂😂 Chi, I love your dedication to proper diction even when terrified. Either situation doesn't sound great😅❤You gave us a great reaction as usual❤
This was another very fun Movie Munchies reaction. Thank you, girls! This film has a lot of funny memes that were inspired by the original movies. If you watch Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935), you will recognize a lot of dialogue and scenes that were copied and then rewritten to be comedy for this movie. 👍🥰❤
Terri Garr, the lovely assistant, passed away today from MS. A wonderful actor and human. I really enjoy your reaction videos. The Princess’ Bride reaction video was very fun to watch.
Love You Ladies and Each of Y'all's Reacts!!! Glad to see you enjoyed this,Keep Doing Mel Brooks he's such an icon,,,Take'Care SweetHeart's RockOn🌎📽️🎶🎶🎶
Went through the comments and was surprised only one person mentioned that Peter Boyle, who played Ray's dad in Everyone Loves Raymond, played the monster in this movie.
One of my favorite episodes of "Raymond" is the Halloween episode where he dresses as the Frankenstein Monster in an obvious homage to his role in this film. But the fact is he was the best part of that show for me. He got all the best lines and jokes. One of my favorites is after Ray and Robbie have accidentally spray-painted Marie he walks by and says, "That's gonna need another coat."😁😁
"He would have an enormous vonshticker!" Vonshticker is a word they made up for the movie that is very close in sound to the Yiddish slang term for the part that made the women sing! 🤣😂🤣
Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935) still hold up well. Bride of Frankenstein is a sequel that outdoes its original. Starring Colin Clive as Dr. Frankenstein, Boris Karloff as the monster, and Elsa Lanchester as the monster's bride. Young Frankenstein will probably make a whole lot more sense after you've seen those two films.
One of the funniest movies ever. A few other great comedies are 9-5, Tootsie, Arthur, Seems Like Old Times and Stripes. All around the same time, late 70’s-early 80s.
This movie is legendary among classic comedies in American cinema. As many will point out, they used many of the original sets and props from the original horror movies made by Universal Studios in the 1930's. But one of the more interesting facts about this movie is how much everyone involved loved making it. They filmed the ending numerous times, not because there was something wrong, but because Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks never wanted the production to end. Ultimately, this film, even though it is a comedy, is considered just as much of a classic as the original movie it is parodying.
The reason the horses were scared of the lady's name was because her name translated as "glue" and animal glue is made from horse hooves. So, the horses were afraid they were going to be turned into glue.
Movie munchies I have watched both reactions with young frankenstein and blazing saddles and I love how all of you reacted to these funny films, and if you remember from your star wars reactions the actor named James Earl Jones has passed away a few days ago, he played the voice of Darth Vader, also the voice of Mufasa from The Lion King, the blind man from a great baseball movie called The Sandlot, I am just wanted you to know that you ladies are amazing and I love to see more of your reactions and to see new members like Katie. God bless you, Chi, Hella, Tien and Lan
Gene Wilder asked Mel Brooks to direct this movie. He agreed to do it, but only if Gene agreed to be in BLAZING SADDLES. Both ended up being classics. I actually have an autographed copy of the script of YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN.
The dessert Frankenstein mentioned is Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte, or Black Forest cake. It's a German dish; chocolate and cream cake with cherry filling. My grandmother used to bake them from time to time. It was fantastic, and the only time I liked cherries.
Ladies! I've just realized I've been watching your videos for months and haven't subscribed. I've just subscribed and can't wait for your next reaction!
Two of my favorite lines in the movie ..... "Your fiance will be here any second. I suggest you put on a tie!" "A riot is an ugly thing. I think that it's just about time we had one!!"
I too thought this was the case as it was the explanation that made the rounds when the movie came out. But, alas, it isn't so. You can check it with google translate.
So the joke with Frau Blucher is that Blucher means glue so the horses are scared of her since horse hooves are used in making glue. Though apparently blucher doesn't actually mean glue
I like this film, because yes, it is a parody of Frankenstein but even without that it is a good comedy and yes it is a good comedy but it is also a heartfelt film about parenting
8:00 the track 29 can I give you a shine is a reference to an old song called Chattanooga Choo Choo. It goes like this Pardon me boy, Is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo All aboard track twenty nine Can you give me a shine 40:40 yes he's trying to make another one but he's doing it the old-fashioned way.

Movies that make fun of other movies are a genre onto themselves. Well, a subgenre of comedy. A more modern example would be Hot Fuzz.

The hump moving wasn't originally part of the script. Marty Feldman was doing on his own surreptitiously and when the cast noticed, the y loved it so much that they wrote the gag into the script.
"Roll in the hay" is also American slang for having sex.
Pretty sure that's English/European...
@o.b.7217 Yep, the term is used in the UK and many other countries.
In France we have the same expression "se rouler dans le foins" Same words.
Fun fact, for Frankenstein's laboratory, they actually got the original props from the 1930s films.
And the white streaks in Elizabeth's hair are callbacks to The Bride of Frankenstein.

It took me almost 30 years as well! 😂😂😂
I grew up with the movie but I never noticed that >,< Thank you.
It took me about 40 years to notice that
Off topic, but the man playing Inspector Kemp played Otto in the TV show Malcolm in the Middle (my favorite recurring character in the entire series).

Lol. Ikr?
Well, I think Tien and Lan have gotten more accustomed to jokes like that, since they’ve been watching _Family Guy_ (considering that Seth MacFarlane definitely owes a lot of his sense of humor to Mel Brooks). 😄
Last scene: Tien and Lan start "okay, okay" and Chi says "I don't get it". Please don't change!
It's impossible not to grin at that part. XD
Funniest part of the whole reaction and the movie itself 😂
Mel Brooks once said that of all the movies he directed, Young Frankenstein is the one he's most proud of. I watch it every Halloween.
By the way, all three of you are adorable.❤😘
Oh no Hella missed this Mel Brooks classic. Their reactions were so good. Love Chi's innocence at the end.
I missed Hella too
Terri Garr is an all time beauty, and is on fire in this movie.
Also, the blind man is Gene Hackman in one of his funniest roles ever.
Cigars !
@@airborngrmp1 I had a crush on Terri Garr so I definitely agree with your comment.

I fully agree.
"Roll in the hay" is a Western rural expression. When a boy and girl like each other they can't go to the house because your parents are in the house so they go to the barn and have a "roll in the hay."

I love it how Chi is so innocent sometimes 😊 (Especially at the end of this reaction) 💜
All these girls are lovely, but Chi and Hella are the OGs of Movie Munchies and I feel a little let down when one of them is missing.
Love Tien's energy every time she's here.
I think my favourite bit of this reaction was seeing how quickly Tien picked up on every sexual innuendo contrasted with how oblivious Chi was to them...
She missed roll in the hay 🥲. The MMLs have their roles-Tien always chirps up when a man gets handsy, even with consent.
I just double-checked “He would have an enormous scwanstücher”. Over their heads, including Tien. Americans didn’t know what a schwanstücher” meant, but we laughed because we could imagine 🍆
42:01 "Give me a hand with these bags..." asked Fronkenstein.
I-gor, "Certainly, you take the blonde, and I'll take the one in the turbin."
And a pitch perfect parody of the Groucho Marx!
Such a delight seeing the Ladies enjoying such a classic film. Thanks for sharing, girls.
Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte is a chocolate sponge cake covered with whipped cream and cherries soaked in cherry brandy

It's a reference to the Glenn Miller song Chattanooga Choo Choo.
"Pardon me, boy, is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?" "Yes, yes, Track 29!" "Boy, you can give me a shine." (A shoe shine.)
Performed by Glenn Miller and His Orchestra; not written by Glenn Miller. It was written by Mack Gordon and composed by Harry Warren.
Good call. Not many people usually catch that. And until this viewing, I don't remember catching it before. My mother (now 94 years old) certainly would have noticed it.
And the words are spoken in the _Pennsylvania_ Station, no less.
My mind is fully blown!
I have never seen a reactor actually catch that reference.

You really can't go wrong with Mel Brooks. I love it when you ladies watch his movies. It's like twice the entertainment in one show, thank you.
Watching Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein with you all was a joy. Thank you!!!
Gene Hackman plays the blind man. Peter Boyle, from Everybody Loves Raymond, plays the Monster.
24:24 "You haven't even touched your food."
Fronkenstein, "There! Now, I've touched it."
I thought this was the funniest joke as a little kid.
@Poisonedblade For me it's the follow up joke "WHAT THE HELL YOU DOING IN THE BATHROOM DAY AND NIGHT? WHY DON'T YOU GET OUT OF THERE AND GIVE SOMEONE ELSE A CHANCE!?" (A lot funnier now as an adult though🤣)
In my opinion, this is the funniest Mel Brooks film going. He and Gene Wilder wrote the screen play together. Wilder was perfect for the role of the "mad doctor" and Marty Feldman was brilliant as Igor.
And I believe Gene Wilder's condition for doing it was that Mel Brooks would not be in it.
One of my all-time favorite comedies. Igor is definitely my favorite character. Steals every scene he's in. "Abby... someone."

In the name of God now I know what it feels like to BE God!" which, along with the girl with the flowers scene, was censored after the original first aired and restored later.
Bride of Frankenstein gave us Madeline Kahn's slivery hairdo, her hissing at the creature (it was originally Elsa Lanchester - the actress in the intro of Bride that played Mary Shelly), the blind hermit (Gene Hackman) and the emphasis on the creature's love of music. In the original BRIDE the monster, when offered the cigar by the hermit, actually grabs it with his thumb sticking out. Someone was really paying attention!
Son of Frankenstein introduced Ygor (played by Bela Lugosi) who also played a horn like the one shown, often from atop the castle. It also gave us Inspector Kemp with the wooden arm. In Son Of the inspector was Inspector Krough, who revealed his arm was torn out by the creature. There was also a dart game between them. I
n Ghost of Frankenstein Ygor is again present and connived his way into getting a transference of his intellect into the creature's body in a scene very similar to scene in Young Frankenstein where Frederick transfers some of this intellect to the creature. More similarities exist but this is way too long as it is!
Even "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man" is touched upon in the finale, with the Monster and a man strapped to side-by-side lab tables awaiting a transference.
@@porflepopnecker4376 Quite right but that was 1943. In 1941's Ghost of Frankenstein a similar transference scene was done. Good call. And I think Frank Meets WOLF has the eeriest, most effective opening scene with the two grave robbers!
One of my favorite comedies movies Frankenstein is hilarious 😂
The equipment in the lab scene where the monster was created in "Young Frankenstein," was the very same original equipment and/or props featured in the ORIGINAL Frankenstein movie of 1931.
If you decide to watch the original Frankenstein, you’ll have to watch its sequel Bride of Frankenstein as well to get full context of this film.
When the Dr. gets to Transylvania Station, the lines of the young boy are from an old song called "Chatanooga Choo Choo" about someone traveling on a train which leaves from Pennsylvania Station. So it's all a big play on words from the original.
One of my father's favorite movies.
I really appreciate you giving this movie a shot, ladies, but you really should've watched the original three Boris Karloff movies ("Frankenstein", "Bride of Frankenstein" and "Son of Frankenstein") first to truly understand everything this movie was parodying.
12:24 Movie Munchies sing-a-long?! "Destiny, Destiny, No escaping death for me."
What a delightful reaction to one of my favorite movies, thank you!
They were obviously able to film this in color if they wanted to, so the black and white nature of the film is a stylistic choice that I think works very well. It is meant to make everything dark and gritty and more closely match the original.
Dresses and makeup aside, I cannot imagine this being any better in color because it would distract from the mood. Haunting, scary, mysterious, dramatic - B&W can give you all of that with such impact.
You should watch Abbot and Costello meet Frankenstein
Names are the hardest because they're the most likely not to follow the rules of pronunciation. Mel Brooks' name follows the rules though :) Brooks rhymes with books.
You got to watch Dracula dead and loving it
The hump migrating from one side to other started out as a prank by Marty Feldman (Ygor). The movie had been in production for a few days before anyone caught on, and Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks thought it was so funny that they incorporated it into the movie.
The original Frankenstein movie will seem like a spoof of this now 😂
Your guys reactions are sweet!
Thank you.
Mel Brooks is genius and young frankenstein a timeless classic 😂
At the beginning of the movie the clock chimes 13 times.
RIP Teri Garr (Inga) who passed away yesterday. Also Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman and Cloris Leachman.
Such a great reaction thanks!
the original Frankenstein movie and book was about man trying to be God by creating life. And the folly of such pride and hubris. The book is a lil deeper. The original movie with Boris Karlov was a breakthrough in makeup and special effects of the time. Its a short book worth reading. In the book and original movie the lil girl gets killed by the monster.
I fell in love with Teri Garr because of this movie. ( Inga the blonde lab assistant) There's another movie with Gean Wilder, Morty Feldman, and Madeline Kahn call Sherlock Holmes Smarter Brother. It's not a Mel Brooks movie but it has the same kind of humor. It's not as well known and a little hard to find but it's a good time. And you still need to watch Kelly's Heroes. The Clint Eastwood World War 2 comedy.
Chi starts off strong:
"You scared me to hell...out of hell, actually"😂😂😂 Chi, I love your dedication to proper diction even when terrified. Either situation doesn't sound great😅❤You gave us a great reaction as usual❤
This was another very fun Movie Munchies reaction. Thank you, girls! This film has a lot of funny memes that were inspired by the original movies. If you watch Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935), you will recognize a lot of dialogue and scenes that were copied and then rewritten to be comedy for this movie. 👍🥰❤
Terri Garr, the lovely assistant, passed away today from MS. A wonderful actor and human. I really enjoy your reaction videos. The Princess’ Bride reaction video was very fun to watch.
Love You Ladies and Each of Y'all's Reacts!!! Glad to see you enjoyed this,Keep Doing Mel Brooks he's such an icon,,,Take'Care SweetHeart's RockOn🌎📽️🎶🎶🎶
I cried from laughing watching this movie 🎬 😂
"Emotional damage" meme done in proper context with proper accent was gold!
Went through the comments and was surprised only one person mentioned that Peter Boyle, who played Ray's dad in Everyone Loves Raymond, played the monster in this movie.
One of my favorite episodes of "Raymond" is the Halloween episode where he dresses as the Frankenstein Monster in an obvious homage to his role in this film. But the fact is he was the best part of that show for me. He got all the best lines and jokes. One of my favorites is after Ray and Robbie have accidentally spray-painted Marie he walks by and says, "That's gonna need another coat."😁😁
He's also in the funniest episode of The X-Files, where he's just hilarious.
He's also in another hilarious movie - The Dream Team, with Michael Keaton, Christopher Lloyd, and Steven Furst.
Chi is so innocent lol
The original "Frankenstein" was a novel written by the famous English author Mary Shelley in 1818. It was not a comedy.
"He would have an enormous vonshticker!"
Vonshticker is a word they made up for the movie that is very close in sound to the Yiddish slang term for the part that made the women sing! 🤣😂🤣
You might watch :
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994)
staring Robert De Niro
I swear, you all are as funny as the three stooges sometimes haha. The chorus of "That hump." "That hump!" made me chuckle
Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935) still hold up well. Bride of Frankenstein is a sequel that outdoes its original. Starring Colin Clive as Dr. Frankenstein, Boris Karloff as the monster, and Elsa Lanchester as the monster's bride. Young Frankenstein will probably make a whole lot more sense after you've seen those two films.
One of the funniest movies ever. A few other great comedies are 9-5, Tootsie, Arthur, Seems Like Old Times and Stripes. All around the same time, late 70’s-early 80s.
This movie is legendary among classic comedies in American cinema. As many will point out, they used many of the original sets and props from the original horror movies made by Universal Studios in the 1930's. But one of the more interesting facts about this movie is how much everyone involved loved making it. They filmed the ending numerous times, not because there was something wrong, but because Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks never wanted the production to end. Ultimately, this film, even though it is a comedy, is considered just as much of a classic as the original movie it is parodying.
Another of my favorite comedies. Mel Brooks has 4 movies in that wheelhouse, he is that good as far as i am concerned. The movies take you into them.
The reason the horses were scared of the lady's name was because her name translated as "glue" and animal glue is made from horse hooves. So, the horses were afraid they were going to be turned into glue.
Actually it was a misunderstanding, someone that told Mel Brooks it meant glue but later they realized it was wrong.
@@drigerdranzer7514 Right. Funny how these impressions get such a widespread belief!
Her name is Frau Blücher, and Blücher is just a surname.
@@drigerdranzer7514 Gene Wilder said that the implication is that she secretly abuses the horses hence their reaction to her name.
I didn’t know!
wow, THREE of you girls! it feels like a bonus 😄
Movie munchies I have watched both reactions with young frankenstein and blazing saddles and I love how all of you reacted to these funny films, and if you remember from your star wars reactions the actor named James Earl Jones has passed away a few days ago, he played the voice of Darth Vader, also the voice of Mufasa from The Lion King, the blind man from a great baseball movie called The Sandlot, I am just wanted you to know that you ladies are amazing and I love to see more of your reactions and to see new members like Katie. God bless you, Chi, Hella, Tien and Lan
Gene Wilder asked Mel Brooks to direct this movie. He agreed to do it, but only if Gene agreed to be in BLAZING SADDLES. Both ended up being classics. I actually have an autographed copy of the script of YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN.
1974
Mel Brooks is a genius writer and director!
Super comedic film❤️
Thanks.
The dessert Frankenstein mentioned is Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte, or Black Forest cake. It's a German dish; chocolate and cream cake with cherry filling. My grandmother used to bake them from time to time. It was fantastic, and the only time I liked cherries.
"It's Igor"...Marti Feldman was a famous English comedian. Gene Hackman guest stared as the Monk.
The set of Frankenstein's lab was basically a recreation of the set from the 1931 movie. They found the original props in storage used them here.
Ladies! I've just realized I've been watching your videos for months and haven't subscribed. I've just subscribed and can't wait for your next reaction!
Two of my favorite lines in the movie .....
"Your fiance will be here any second. I suggest you put on a tie!"
"A riot is an ugly thing. I think that it's just about time we had one!!"
"Blucher" is "glue" in German. Hence the horse's reaction when Blucher is spoken.
Blucher is the german word for glue. And, back in the day, they used dead horses to make glue.
I too thought this was the case as it was the explanation that made the rounds when the movie came out. But, alas, it isn't so. You can check it with google translate.
So the joke with Frau Blucher is that Blucher means glue so the horses are scared of her since horse hooves are used in making glue. Though apparently blucher doesn't actually mean glue
Director Mel Brooks later made a parody of Dracula.
Dracula: Dead and Loving It
And I was able to see it recently for the first time.
Igor is one of my favorite characters. I love a good sense of humor and it's hard to find humor in horror movies.
I like this film, because yes, it is a parody of Frankenstein but even without that it is a good comedy and yes it is a good comedy but it is also a heartfelt film about parenting
You got to watch The Producers
8:00 the track 29 can I give you a shine is a reference to an old song called Chattanooga Choo Choo.
It goes like this
Pardon me boy,
Is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo
All aboard track twenty nine
Can you give me a shine
40:40 yes he's trying to make another one but he's doing it the old-fashioned way.
Mr Mel Brooks is still alive and well at age 98 he's a living legend in the comedy world
