10/10.My favorite Mel Brooks movie.The hilarity's off the charts here.Movies like this deserve all the praise it got as it was big at the box office. Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder, Harvey Korman, Madeline, Kahn, Alex Karris, even Mel Brooks himself are all great here.A movie like this wouldn't be made or shown into the uber sensitive age we're living in now.Still I laugh at the pure genius of this movie and the comedic master behind it, Mel Brooks.
Bart: Well, can't you see that's the last act of a desperate man?
Howard Johnson: We don't care if it's the first act of "Henry V, " we're leaving!
Trivia: The late Richard Pryor, who helped write the screenplay, was originally supposed to play Bart. However, his controversial stand-up comedy routines made it difficult to secure financing. Cleavon Little was eventually cast in Pryor's place.
