| | The DVD had an extra scene which wasn't in the theatrical release of a group of Frankenstein's family members listening to a gramophone record of Victor giving his last will & testament, one of the actors in that scene was Leon Askin(from the old TV show "William Tell" and "Hogan's Heroes"). |

| | I had this on VHS for a long time, then a friend gave me a (copied) DVD of it which I used to rip the movie to my external hard-drive. Every now and then(like a couple of nights ago) I watch it again and remember the good bits. |

Record Collector 7th Jul 2015

| | RC - "No eye dear where it's going lol" What's that? Something about Blind Venison? As the man with no fingers on his hand asked: Is there a point to this? |
|

|
Neil Forbes 7th Jul 2015

| | @Monolith, Yeah, thought it was the case. Guess Igor just got the "hump" over it!(ha-ha) |
|
|
|
Monolith 6th Jul 2015
| | Love the way the monster looks at the camera with total resignation in that scene when the mug smashes. LOL |
|
|
|
Record Collector 6th Jul 2015
| | The scene with gene Hackman and Peter Boyle my favourite |
|
|
|
Monolith 6th Jul 2015
| | IMDB says:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs
In the chase scene in the woods the Police Inspector's prosthetic arm "switches" from right to left. This was an intentional joke, much like Igor's hump. |
|
|
|
Monolith 6th Jul 2015
| | Yeah I read before that was deliberate like Igor's hump switching sides.
I know the hump was commented on in the movie but the arm was for us to notice.
Mel Brooks tends to mess with his audience. LOL |
|
|
|
Record Collector 6th Jul 2015
| | Ahh Neil you should put that in the goofs section on the IMDB website |
|
|
|
Neil Forbes 6th Jul 2015
| | Actually, I watched this again last night(I copied the move to my external hard-drive, one of three I have hooked to my computer), the Blücher routine's still good for a laugh! I noticed a "continuity error"(or maybe it was deliberate for comic effect) regarding Kenneth Mars and his "Inspector Kemp" role. Watch him manipulate the so-called prosthetic right arm, then skip forward to the crowd heading for the castle to confront Frankenstein and his monster, suddenly that prosthetic arm's on his left side....Hmmmm, then when the monster(Peter Boyle) speaks and addresses the crowd, that "arm" is back on Mars' right side..... Hmmmm, again! |
|
|
|
Monolith 5th Jul 2015
| | Actually I copied and pasted it from snopes. heehee
The funny thing is I'd never heard of the Blücher/glue thing till i read the article and within a minute it was dispelled.
Hardly worth me while really. LOL |

Trainman 5th Jul 2015
| | getting off the subject here, but regarding the umlaut, it would be nice if the site accepted High ASCII characters, then those of us with "English" default on our keyboards could add the accent marks. |
|
|
|
Neil Forbes 5th Jul 2015
| | @Monolith: Oh you mean Blücher"
Yeah, smarty! For me(probably you, too, Monolith) to add the umlaut, I'd have to type the name in "Word" ten copy/paste it in here with that accent attached. |
|
|
|
Neil Forbes 5th Jul 2015
| | Awww! Shouldn't have read that Snopes item about Frau Bluecher! It ruined the joke(boo-hoo!), still, I was right about the umlaut over the 'u', that's why the 'e' follows, to compensate for not being able(at the moment) to use the umlaut. |
|
|
|
Monolith 5th Jul 2015
| | Oh you mean Blücher |
|
|
|
Neil Forbes 5th Jul 2015
| | The reason I spelt "Bluecher" the way I did is because I believe the 'u' had an umlaut over it, and when that bit of accent punctuation is unavailable, an 'e' is placed after the accented letter. |
|
|
|
Record Collector 5th Jul 2015
| | Yep that's correct |
|
|
|
Monolith 5th Jul 2015
| | There's so many references and nods to the original series of Frankenstein movies from the 30s, like the policeman and the mob with the flaming torches and the lift to reach the lightning and the body snatching etc.
I read once where a lot of the laboratory machinery was the original machinery that was used in those 1930s movies. |
|
|
|
Trainman 5th Jul 2015
| | Well, it turns out the joke's on us. Too long to repeat here but...

| | Dr. Frankenstein: For the experiment to be a success, all of the body parts must be enlarged.
Inga: In other vords: his veins, his feet, his hands, his organs vould all have to be increased in size.
Dr. Frankenstein: Exactly.
Inga: He vould have an enormous schwanzstucker.
Dr. Frankenstein: That goes without saying.
Inga: Voof.
Igor: He's going to be very popular. |
