Summary: Another classic from Mel Brooks
Comment: While this isn't as good as "Blazing Saddles" and "Spaceballs," it's certainly better than "Dracula: Dead and Loving It." This film will make you laugh your @$$ off as Brooks brings out the ironic/slapstick humor from the Dawn of Man, the Roman Empire, the Spanish Inquisition (one of my favorite scenes), and the French Revolution. Gregory Hines, Sid Caesar, Madeline Kahn, a cameo appearance of Juhn Hurt, and the voice of Orson Welles make this movie shine. Highly recommended for all Brooks fans, and for those who actually want to see some humor in world history.

Summary: It seemed a lot funnier 25+ years ago...
Comment: After more than 25 years of its theatrical release, I still had a faint memory of some good laughs.
Well, maybe the problem is me (25+ years older), but it doesn't seem that funny anymore.
If you are a teenager than there are some good laughs in it for you, but more mature crowd will probably dismiss it as rubbish.
My wife slept halfway, but I somehow managed to go all the way to the END. 2 stars for old days sake...

Summary: Mel Brooks At His Best.
Comment: The movie is a classic, it stands the test of time. One of the most quoatable movies, even Sobe used the Sieze This Honkus lol. This review is about the DVD. Why is it still in MONO ?? where's the 5.1 ? This movie should be on the hot list for a remaster blazing saddles and spaceballs got remasterd but not this? Isn't it time for the Spanish Inquisition in 5.1 Surround Sound? I hope 20th Century Fox gives us a new dvd version of this classic soon.
