I've just finished watching 'Young Frankenstein'

[icymist]

My goodness, what a funny movie. Gene Wilder saying to Terri Garr, "Put the candle back" man, I waS laughing. Then, the creature dancing to Fred Astire's 'Putting On The Ritz'..... just genius!

What were your most enjoyable moments from this film?

[sarge43]

1. Tough to choose

Has to be this one. Brooks said Hackman ad libbed a lot of this scene.

[cyberswede]

4. I agree 100% - great scene! n/t

[sarge43]

12. I still do a second take

This is the same man who blew off the doors in The French Connection and The Conversation.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

14. Oddly enough...

Peter Boyle was originally offered Hackman's role in French Connection, but turned it down for personal reasons.

[sarge43]

16. That is interesting. Wonder what Boyle would done with that role. n/t

[BrklynLiberal]

21. LOL Boyle would have played Doyle.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. Did you know that Hackman had to audition for this scene?

They didn't think he could do comedy!

Also, he was uncredited in the credits...his name is not shown as the blind monk.

A true cameo performance!

:hi:

[sarge43]

29. Yeah, I heard that.

I read he just walked into the audition and asked to try out. Left everyone :rofl:

He's a great character actor; he does it all.

[Graybeard]

2. Frau Blucher. (Sound: Horses very excited in the stables)

Cloris Leachman was incredibly funny as Frau Blucher. (Sound: Horses very excited in the stables)

And BTW that's Fronkensteen.:P

[rurallib]

3. Marty Feldman as Igor when he first appeared

as the third head on a shelf and starts singing "I got no body" just broke me up when I first saw it.
That and the shifting back hump.
But the best was the short:
Frankenstein: "Werewolf?"
Igor: "There wolf. There castle."

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Hump? What hump?

[Graybeard]

9. And BTW that's Eye-gor.

:P

[rurallib]

23. eye-eye, sir

[kentauros]

6. Dr. Frankenstein: "Damn your eyes!"

Igor: "Too late!" :rofl:

Deleted Scene - The Reading of the Will: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr8xYH9ork8

[Rambis]

7. There wolf, there castle

Dr. Why are you talking that way?

Igor....I thought you wanted to?

Dr. I don't want to,

Igor...suit yourself I'm easy

[Gidney N Cloyd]

8. "Could be worse."

"Could be raining." (Thunderclap)

[NNN0LHI]

10. Abby Normal

[NJmaverick]

26. +1

[edbermac]

11. "What knockers!"

And after the monster hears the violin music and leaves Madeline Kahn after screwing her.

"Where you going? Oh, you men are all alike. Seven or eight quick ones and then you're out with the boys to boast and brag! You better keep your mouth shut! Oh, I think I love him!"

[LNM]

15. Vi tsank you, doctor! nt

[HopeHoops]

13. "Frau Bloucher" - "Neeeeiiiiiiigh"

And then Igor leaning out the door - "Bloucher!"

Just to tease the horses.

Oh, also, the scene where Igor's hump moves and the Dr. mentions it and Igor says, "What hump?"

Actually, the entire fucking movie is hilarious.

I have it on LaserDisc. It might be time to watch it again.

[skygazer]

17. The whole thing is just wonderful

Vould you like to roll in ze hay? Roll, roll, roll in ze hay!

Absurd fun. :rofl:

[MissMillie]

18. Madaline Kahn... her entire performance

I always crack up when she says "no tongues"

[ChickMagic]

19. I love Gene Hackman as the blind monk

He looks into the camera almost the entire time. That
cracked me up. The looks on Peter Boyle's face were
epic.

[BrklynLiberal]

20. "Wow. What knockers!" "Why thank you."

"Help me with these bags." "OK You take the blond and I'll take the one with the turban"

[guitar man]

22. Marty Feldman

his performance all the way through the show was brilliant!! :rofl:

[Auggie]

25. +1. No one could have played Eye-gore better.

[Burma Jones]

24. The Gene Hackman Scene and the farewell at the Train Station.....

Taffeta Darling........

Oh, and all of Kenneth Mars as Inspector Kemp.......

[tainted_chimp]

27. After Madeline & the monster are a couple....

...and she's in the bathroom telling him that she's set up a hamper for "...sock's and poo-poo undies..."

Adorable and normal-ish and wacky!

[azmouse]

30. I can't pick just one sceen.

Young Frankstein may very well be the funniest movie ever made.

[pokerfan]

31. He vould have an enormous schwanzstucker.

Inga: He vould have an enormous schwanzstucker.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: That goes without saying.
Inga: Voof.
Igor: He's going to be very popular.

[tigereye]

32. wonderful, funny film. Love it.

the last time we saw it, I thought the scene where the police capt. and Wilder are having a dart contest was pretty damn funny.

[volstork]

33. Final scene

with Madeline Kahn; I've seen it about 1000 times, and it still makes me laugh so hard I snort!
