Yeah that part...wasn't funny. which is a shame because the rest of the movie is hilarious.

It's not only a spoof of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, but it's a spoof of all Gothic Novels and the movies that have been inspired by them. Also it's a slap-stick comedy, and it works on all these levels! It pokes fun at every ridiculous Gothic cliché with a very inventive and various ways that still hold up to date. But it's the editing that stands out above the rest ways. Yes the editing! I can't remember if I've seen before a film editing that works this effectively in the comedy genre. It's so subtle and creative. Gene Wilder did it again with his charismatic and charming performance that must play a vital role in making the audience riveted whatever the movie he is in.Unfortunately, there are some jokes that didn't land. Mostly because they were repetitive. Although they worked at the first time, they lost their sharpness and effectiveness very quickly, maybe even at the second time they were repeated. The rest of the jokes that didn't hit the mark, which is quite few, were just because I didn't find them funny.I think Young Frankenstein is a very funny and unique comedy, and if I may choose between the two Mel Brooks films that have been released that year, Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles, I would choose Young Frankenstein.(8/10)

Blazing Saddles is outstanding. This is better. Movies just don't get much funnier than this one. I'd give this an 11 if I could. It has some eye candy, a fantastic cast AND it's more fun than a roll in zee hay. This is a must see for just about everybody. It really is just that good. I can watch this yearly.

Despite some Mel Brooks's bad movie this one deserve a proper respect, Gene Wilder quite often is funny,but he needs a partner,in this case Marty Feldman is indubitable a prefect choice,all star casting is fantastic,each little roles has their exactly significance to developing the picture,well done productions on little details in black and white backing memories from previous and old Universal's Frankenstein...the picture survived over time!!!Resume: First watch: 1987 / How many: 3 / Source: TV-DVD Rating: 7.5
