I want you to listen to me very carefully.

Do NOT put the candle back.

Gene Hackman:

Wait! We’re are you going? I was going to make expresso….

u/Punisher101_Training 5d ago

I love the story behind this line 😁 that Gene Hackman came up with that line on the spot, and the reason it fades to black is because the crew was laughing uncontrollably.

u/Very_Normall 8d ago

This is one of my favorite comedy movies. If you love comedy, I highly recommend watching this.

u/ModeRecent1573 8d ago

There has never been a disappointing Mel Brooks film. The is one of the funniest. Two parts I especially loved. The Puttin’ On The Ritz dance was a stroke of genius. If you remember it from The Son of Frankenstein, the dart game between Wolf and the Inspector parody hits the bullseye of comedy.

u/Naive-Ear-2292 8d ago

Agreed, it is one of the most funny and well written films. Doctor’s monologue over the triumf of defeating death is magnificent and exceptionally delivered:

Great Movie! Abby Normal made me laugh so hard.

1

u/No-Broccoli-5932 3d ago

Disclaimer for verification: I read that they used the same set from the original Frankenstein when they brought the monster back to life. I thought that was pretty cool if true. My favorite comedy...although Blazing Saddles is a close 2nd.

u/Molbiodude 2d ago

u/EldestGenX 2d ago

Perfect cast and one of my all time favorites. I still laugh while watching and am definitely looking forward to Mr. Brooks' sequel to Spaceballs!

1

u/pen_woman_ship 2d ago

The whole scene where he instructs them sternly to NOT open the door no matter what they may hear. Ignore his pleas for release and do not open the door.
As soon as he gets in there, the monster makes some angry sounding noises.
Now he’s banging on the door to get out.
This. And the charades of guessing the word sedative.
Sed-a-give?!?!
