Premise
Mel Brooks parodies Frankenstein horror movies, starring Gene Wilder as the mad doctor.
Thoughts
It's been a while, but I recall this being one of my favorite Mel Brooks movies. What made it great was the memorable comedic performances by Wilder, Peter Boyle, Madeline Kahn, Marty Feldman, Cloris Leachman and Kenneth Mars. Also, do not forget Gene Hackman's cameo. The godly cast truly sold every spoofing, wacky, cheap, ingenious joke that Brooks threw at the camera. I do not recall ever a dull moment.
What I would change
Nothing.
