Did you recognize Gene Hackman as the blind man or Peter Boyle as the monster? The Inspector Kemp character is a direct take off from the 1960s movie "Dr. Strangelove (Or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb)". That's another movie you should watch. It stars Peter Sellers (playing 3 characters), George C. Scott and a host of others, and is actually a parody of a serious drama about nuclear war called "Fail Safe" staring Peter Fonda. Oh, hell, you should watch them both, with Fail Safe first, so you would understand the parody of Dr Stranelove.

2023-01-06 08:26:34 +0000 UTCNo, Mel Brooks is not in this one. Much of this movie consists of takeoffs on the old movies Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, and Son of Frankenstein. For example, the creation of the monster and the scene with the little girl with the flowers come from the original Frankenstein (the movie that first made Boris Karloff a star), the blind hermit and the unique hairstyle of the creature's wife at the end come from Bride of Frankenstein, and Igor the hunchback and the police official with the artificial arm come from Son of Frankenstein.
