Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder's Affectionate Parody of the classic Universal Horror pictures of the 1930s. Released in 1974, it was shot in black and white using laboratory props from the original Frankenstein and stars a cast of comedic actors all at the very height of their talents.Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (Wilder) — "That's Fronkensteen!" — is the grandson of the infamous mad scientist, who is determined to distance himself from the family legacy. After learning he has inherited the family estate in Transylvania, he takes leave of his uptight fiancée Elizabeth (Madeline Kahn) and travels to inspect the property. There, he encounters a household staff that includes hunchbacked servant Igor (Marty Feldman), who insists on having his name pronounced "Eye-gor" and has a hump that is always changing position from scene to scene; nubile blonde assistant Inga (Teri Garr); and mirthless housekeeper Frau Blücher (*NEIGH*) (Cloris Leachman). Upon discovering his grandfather's laboratory and private journals, Frederick becomes similarly obsessed with the idea of re-animating the dead, and with Igor's assistance he snatches the corpse of a recently-hanged criminal; he then tasks Igor with stealing the preserved brain of "scientist and saint" Hans Delbrück, but an accident leads to the brain's destruction and forces Igor to substitute an abnormal brain, without Frederick's knowledge. When the creature (Peter Boyle) is animated he proves to be uncontrollably violent. And then Frau Blücher, (*NEIGH*) who was Victor Frankenstein's lover, sets him free...Young Frankenstein was adapted into a Broadway musical in 2007.And, since it keeps coming up, "Blücher" (*NEIGH*) is not the German word for "glue"; it's just a common misconception.The Market-Based Title for the film in Italy, France and Germany, Frankenstein Jr., is Not to Be Confused with the actual Frankenstein Jr.

Plot-Triggering Book: Frederick Frankenstein is led by mysterious music to his late grandfather's private library at the end of the first act, where he finds his grandfather's book, How I Did It. It describes how Victor Frankenstein brought his creature to life, and inspires Frederick to do the same.

Creator Cameo
 Young Frankenstein / int_127fc252
comment
Creator Cameo: He never appears on screen (directly), but Brooks provides off-screen voices in three places. According to Brooks, this was one of Wilder's requests – that Brooks not appear onscreen in order to preserve the immersion of the film. He does the howl of the "werewolf" as Frederick, Igor and Inga travel to the castle. He provides the flashback voice of the original Dr. Frankenstein, as the main trio looks over the dusty equipment. He ad-libbed the That Poor Cat screech when Frederick accidentally throws a dart out the window. Brooks also 'appears' as one of the gargoyles of the castle, which was modeled after him.

Negated Moment of Awesome: Inspector Kemp's introduction, where he tries to establish how tough he is by setting his fingertips on fire, lighting a cigar with them, then dipping his fingers in a glass of water. The illusion is ruined by the fact that he can't move his arm on its own and it makes creaking noises, making it abundantly clear that it's a prosthetic.

On One Condition
 Young Frankenstein / int_182f59f9
comment
On One Condition: A deleted scene (kept intact in the novelization) explains how Frederick inherited the estate of his very distant and disliked great-grandfather: said Baron Frankenstein had left his estate to his much closer relatives, naming each of them specifically, to be divided up evenly, unless Frederick had of his own choosing become a doctor and achieved some esteem in his field. As this had indeed happened, all the money and property went to him. The idea was that the Baron wanted to give his inheritance to someone who would have some chance of erasing the stain on his family name. Frederick also had to meet the terms before the day Baron Frankenstein would become one hundred years old. Said Baron Frankenstein left instructions that his will was not to be read until then.

Breaking the Fourth Wall: Igor in general displays the least conformity to the sincere side of the film and often serves as a wink to the audience. The most clear example may be in the "quiet dignity and grace" scene where he points out the irony of the statement in an aside to the camera.

 Young Frankenstein / int_21e5b9c7
comment
Failed a Spot Check: Igor managed to miss that the brain he had to quickly replace the requested brain with was labeled "Abnormal". If that wasn't enough, the sign also read "Do not use this brain!" Even after the Monster strangles Frederick at the sight of fire, Igor seems oblivious to the cause, recounting that he put "Abby Normal"'s brain into the Monster seemingly without a shred of guilt or fear. Frederick then very loudly spells out to him what he actually did and gives Igor a throttling of his own.

Generation Xerox: The basis of the film's premise. Frederick Frankenstein is a physician trying to distance himself from his grandfather's shadow, down to pronouncing his surname differently... but then he finds Victor's secret lab and journals and decides to continue the family legacy and make his own Artificial Zombie. His assistant Igor is also the Identical Grandson of the hunchback who helped make the first monster.

Mythology Gag
 Young Frankenstein / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: The book "How I Did It". In the original Frankenstein novel, we never do hear any details of just how the monster was brought to life. All the stuff with the lightning and stolen brains was added in later adaptations. Some of the lines he reads from the book are taken directly from the novel, however. A subtle one occurs when Frederick announces that he and his creature will make the greatest contribution to science "since the creation of fire". The full title of the original book was Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, Prometheus being the Greek Titan who brought fire to mankind. When the laboratory is first shown several of Henry Frankenstein's lines from Frankenstein (1931) are heard. Appropriate since the lab equipment is reused from that film. When the Monster and the little girl are dropping petals down a well, it's an homage to a similar scene by the river from the first Frankenstein film, which was actually pretty obscure at the time of this film's making due to being a scene cut for several decades due to censors. After having sex with the Monster, Elizabeth ends up with white streaks in her hair, similar to Bride of Frankenstein. At the end of the film, after they get married, she comes into the bedroom with her hair done up like the Bride and emulating her hisses from her initial waking in the film, although here they serve as foreplay. Inspector Kemp's prosthetic arm, which the Monster accidentally pulls off at the film's end, is a reference to Inspector Krogh from Son of Frankenstein, who also had a prosthetic arm due to Frankenstein's Monster ripping off his real arm when he was a child. The dart scene with Inspector Kemp is likewise an homage to a scene of Inspector Krogh playing darts in Son of Frankenstein. The idea of using brain transplants to make the Monster more intelligent are fundamentally taken from The Ghost of Frankenstein. The scene where the policeman torments a chained Monster with fire, only to be killed when he provokes the Monster too far, is based on the death of Fritz from Frankenstein (1931).

Defrosting Ice Queen: Elizabeth isn't exactly cold, but she utterly lacks intimacy and displays a snooty attitude to others. Her defrosting is more a case of getting hit with a blowtorch- sex with the Monster quickly makes her a more relaxed and passionate person.

Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Most of the villagers in Transylvania. (Strangely, one exception is a young boy.) It gets to the point where Inspector Kemp's authentic-sounding accent is barely intelligible.

Bluffing the Authorities
 Young Frankenstein / int_43e71a8c
comment
Bluffing the Authorities: There's a scene where a cop happens upon Dr Frankenstein and Igor in the middle of grave robbing. They cover up the bodies in their cart, but one arm sticks out awkwardly, so Frankenstein has to lean against the cart just right to convince the cop it's his arm, and even provides a handshake with the corpse arm.

I Want My Mommy!: Frederick calls for mama in his breakdown after the failure at reanimation.

Inheritance Backlash

Inheritance Backlash: This is how the movie starts out. Fredrick Frankenstein is the chosen inheritor of his great-grandfather, and in order to satisfy the will, he must travel to Transylvania and visit the family castle at least once, which ultimately forces him to face his family legacy. This plot element may be difficult to glean, however, as the scenes laying out the details were all deleted from the final film.

Blind Mistake: The blind man does a lot of harm to the Monster in his attempt to offer some hospitality. First he pours scalding-hot soup in the Monster's lap, then he smashes the Monster's mug full of wine (which he's appropriately peeved by), and finally he lights the Monster's thumb on fire.

Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: While most of the movie's antagonists are played as silly, one policeman who torments the Monster with his fear of fire is notably played very seriously. (It's implied that he does it For the Evulz.) This is jarring compared to the light-heartedness of the rest of the film, though it helps to establish him as an Asshole Victim.

Creating Life Is Bad: Completely averted. The problem is that Igor got "Abby Normal"'s brain for the Monster, not that bringing him to life was inherently wrong, and the story perhaps inadvertently follows readings of Shelley's book that Frankenstein's error was in rejecting his creature, not in creating it.

Anywhere but Their Lips: It's only in their first scene together that Elizabeth says "Not on the lips," to Freddy, and the reason is that she doesn't want her makeup smudged. She doesn't seem to want to be touched anywhere, lest she mess up her hair, her nails, her dress, etc. In the end she and Frederick say goodbye by shaking elbows. She even flinches when he blows her a kiss. And right after all that... the train rolls past and she's enveloped in a billowing cloud of black smoke and delicate Elizabeth hacks her lungs out.

Asshole Victim
 Young Frankenstein / int_8ed5c6e4
comment
Asshole Victim: The only character killed in the film is the policeman who torments the Monster while he's chained up and helpless. It's almost a relief when the Monster throttles him a moment later.note He's played by Oscar Beregi, who played an even worse Asshole Victim in the The Twilight Zone episode "Death's-Head Revisited." Maybe he just Plays Great Assholes.

Retraux: Brooks went through a lot of effort to make the film look as close to a 1930s production as possible. The most obvious aspect of this is being black and white. Brooks initially worked with Columbia Studios as the production company, but soon took the film to Fox because Columbia insisted on filming in colour.

Shaming the Mob: The Monster himself does it, with a speech mostly cribbed out of Shelley's original book. Subverted when Inspector Kemp steps in front of an angry mob to calm them down: "A riot is an ugly thing. And I think it's just about time that we had one!"

Take a Third Option: When Frederick finally embraces his grandfather's legacy, he symbolically stops pronouncing his surname wrong — but instead of pronouncing it the way everyone else does, he pronounces it in the authentic German manner, perhaps symbolizing that he will embrace the legacy on his own terms.

comment
In the Blood: "Destiny! Destiny! No escaping death for me!" The song "Transylvanian Lullaby" is also described as being in the family blood. Also something of a subversion; Frederick is doing just fine escaping the family tradition (aside from a hamtastic moment in his lecture on neurobiology) until his great-grandfather's will and then his "servant" Frau Blücher (*NEIGH*) railroad him into it.

Double Take: After Frederick "walks Igor's way", he stops and gives a look as it sinks in that he was just successfully convinced to do so. After Igor's seeming teleportation from the castle roof to Frederick's side, Frederick does a look back up at the roof and, in his confusion, can only ask Igor if he managed to tie off the kites.

Stealth Sequel: Perhaps. A throwaway line amongst the villagers suggest they've dealt with Frankenstein's family "for years", implying events similar to the original Universal films may have occurred. One of the elders claims he still has nightmares from 5 times before; evidently at least that many of the 8 classic Universal Frankenstein pics actually happened, take your pick which ones.

Heir Club for Men
 Young Frankenstein / int_b2f4114e
comment
Heir Club for Men: Double Subversion. In a deleted scene from the film, we see the official reading of the Baron's will, which Frederick cannot attend. In the will, the Baron leaves everything to two cousins (one male, one female), a niece, a nephew, and a "bosom friend" and her daughter, in equal shares - unless, in the unlikely event that his great-grandson Frederick (only 10 at the time of the will's creation) chooses to go into medicine, and becomes a respected expert in his field of study (thus why Victor Frankenstein was passed over). Needless to say, the attending members of the family are not pleased to discover that the reason Frederick is absent is his prior obligation to give a lecture called "Functional Areas of the Cerebrum with Relation to the Skull." Played straight however, in that the Baron gives everything to Frederick, without thinking to bequeath anything to his granddaughter, Frederick's mother.

Hypocritical Humor: After what seems to be the failed attempt at resurrecting the dead, Frederick states that it is better to accept both loss and success with "quiet dignity and grace," then promptly loses his shit and takes out his frustration on the monster, choking and hitting the corpse all while screaming incoherently; all of this is lampshaded by Igor who just repeats Frederick's "quiet dignity and grace" line.

Lighter and Softer: Things go much better for everyone involved than in any other version of the Frankenstein story. Most notably, the Monster does not accidentally kill the little girl, and Dr. Frankenstein learns to take responsibility for his creation and give him love and guidance, and this care ends up saving his life. In this version of the story, the only person killed by the Monster is a sadist jailer tormenting him.

 Young Frankenstein / int_db1ab4b1
comment
Just a Stupid Accent: Deliberately, this being a Mel Brooks film. The movie takes place in Transylvania (located in Romania), but the townsfolk generally have bad German or Cockney accents. Kemp's is so terrible that his own countrymen have trouble understanding him.

comment
Reasonable Authority Figure: Inspector Kemp tells the worried and borderline riotous villagers that they can't go and lynch Frederick on suspicion alone. Of course, once there is evidence that Frederick has been making monsters, Kemp leads the lynch mob himself.

Silly Will: The aged Baron Beaufort von Frankenstein leaves instructions that his estate shall be given to his distant great-grandson rather than shared among a cadre of mooching relatives if said great-grandson has become a respected doctor of his own accord. One of the relatives tries to pass this clause off as insanity but the executor reminded her that civilization is based on law. The scene was removed from the final film.

Schrödinger's Canon
 Young Frankenstein / int_e1636077
comment
Schrödinger's Canon: Although it's well-researched, the film is still a goofy parody and doesn't make very serious attempts to place itself in continuity with the earlier, canonical Frankenstein films. It's mentioned that Frankenstein incidents have occurred in numbers, alluding to the Universal films' events all having happened in this one's universe, and it's implied that the original scientist was screwed out of the inheritance Frederick got because his pursuit of mad science destroyed his scientific reputation. All the same, the precedessor scientist is named "Victor" like in the book, rather than "Henry" as in the films, and several scenes and characters in this film directly parody scenes and characters from the real Frankenstein franchise, which wouldn't make much sense if they'd already existed before.

Torches and Pitchforks: "A riot is an ugly thing. Und, I think that it's just about time that we had vun!!" Also an Ironic Echo, since he'd earlier solemnly cautioned the townspeople about the dangers of a riot. ... Well, as solemnly as he could with that accent. They turn out to be an incredibly reasonable example. When they storm the laboratory only to be confronted by the newly intelligent Monster, they... accept him with open arms and then leave without incident.

Fate of the Frankensteins: Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, Dr. Victor's grandson, is initially ashamed of his grandfather's claim to fame; having become a famous surgeon in England, he states that he works on serious science instead of chasing superstitions, describes his grandfather as a cuckoo, and insists that his surname is actually pronounced "Fronkensteen". However, after being left the family's ancestral castle per his great-grandfather's will, he returns to Transylvania, becomes increasingly drawn to the idea of creating life from lifeless matter, and ultimately chooses to embrace his family legacy and continue his experiments anyway.

comment
Don't Explain the Joke: Averted — during the Walk This Way scene, Igor shows Frederick what he means. It doesn't ruin the joke at all, though. Supposedly, this gag was the inspiration for the Aerosmith song of the same name. In point of fact, it worked so well, it's something of a Running Gag for Mel Brooks. It shows up in most (if not all) of his subsequent films. The walk is different, but the joke is always the same.
