If you read the lyrics to the old song "Chattanooga Choo Choo" you'll find the interaction between the boy and Frederick at the Transylvania station: "Pardon me boy, is that the Chattanooga choo choo?" "Right on track 29, boy, you can give me a shine."
One of the cool things in Mel Brooks Autobiography is that he said they got to reuse a lot of the original set from the original Frankenstein movie, along with the original cameras and he said he got to pull one of the original editors to work on that type of film because at the time the of this filming it was really old tech by then.
Mel Brooks has so many great films : Young Frankenstein , Life Stinks , Space Balls , History Of athe World Part 1 , The Producers . And many more . He was also the producer of the true story from : The Elephant Man. With Anthony Hopkins .
5:58 "I'll need that one explained unless... they're just scared of her." Yeah. I don't get it, myself. I once heard this _rumor_ that they reacted like that because her name, „Blucher,“ is the German word for _glue_ from which horses have, historically, been _made._ But the German word for "glue" is actually „Kleber.“ No, the screenplay for this movie was written by Gene Wilder who gave her the name „Blucher“ because he had come across it in a book and it struck him as an authentic, dyed-in-the-wool, German _name._ Why the _horses_ react that way is something I fear I may _never_ understand.
Omg, this is one of my all time favorite movies and I NEVER understood why the horses freaked out at Blucher's name. I FINALLY get it🤣. All fine by me if the name does not actually mean "glue" or not. I just love the fact that I finally get it. Lolol 😃
👍 According to Snopes, Wilder, the film's screenwriter, chose the name "Blücher" because it sounded authentically German and found it in a book of letters to and from Sigmund Freud. The joke parodies melodramatic film tropes where characters react fearfully to ominous names or events. Leachman said Brooks told her that "Blücher" means glue in German, though it doesn't. This appears to be the source of the misunderstanding.
"Dr. Fronkensteen! Are you all right!" "MY NAME! IS! FRANKENSTEIN!" Fun Fact: In 1974 Aerosmith took a break from a long night of recording to see this film. Steven Tyler wrote the band's hit "Walk This Way" the morning after seeing the movie, inspired by Marty Feldman's "Walk This Way" scene. Giving Props Fact: When Mel Brooks was preparing for this film, he discovered that Ken Strickfaden, who'd made the elaborate electrical machinery for the lab sequences in the Universal Frankenstein films, was still alive and living in the Los Angeles area. Brooks visited Strickfaden, and found that he had stored all the equipment in his garage. Brooks made a deal to rent the equipment, and gave Strickfaden the screen credit he didn't receive for the original films. Not A Hack Fact: Gene Hackman ad-libbed The Blind Man's "espresso" line. The scene immediately fades to black because the crew erupted into fits of laughter. Hackman was unable to repeat the line without laughing with the rest of the crew, so the first take was used. Hackman was uncredited when the movie was originally released in theaters.
Marty Feldman, Igor, purposely moved the hump from shoulder to shoulder to mess with the cast. The scene where Gene asks "wasn't that on the other shoulder?" was an honest reaction that they left in. So was the little grin Igor gives the camera! If you want some more funny stuff, you should watch the movie, Clue! It stars Madelyn Khan, the fiancé in YF, and Tim Curry. Tim Curry played Pennywise the Clown in the original IT!
That part where Frankenstein stabs himself in the leg during his class wasn't in the script. Gene Wilder ACTUALLY did accidentally stab himself in that scene, but he kept it together long enough to finish the shot.
I just recently discovered you and Im hooked!!!!!! I love the movies you pick and also your reactions! btw this is one of my FAVE movies!! I hope you liked it!!
5:55 There is no reason for it. There was a rummer that her name means 'glue' in German, it doesn't. A second rummer states that its the name of an old German glue _company._ That is also not true and some people say that Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder *spread both rummers* just as an inside joke and the whole thing with the horses was for no other reason than to set that up.
A lot of the jokes would make more sense to you if you had seen the 1st 3 Universal Frankenstein movies. That being said, other jokes go over a lot of folks heads becausethey don't know the historical references. "Pardon me boy, is this the Transylvania Station? Ja, Ja, Track 29. Oh, Can I give you a shine?" is a reference to an old Glen Miller song called Chattanooga Choo-Choo and some of its lyrics. Why does Eye-gore have an English accent? The original Frankenstein movies were filmed in America but used primarily British actors in them playing Germanic characters as the Frankenstein movies originally took place not in Transylvania but certainly more germanic with place names like Goldstadt and Visceria...Sort of a Teutonic Never-neverland. He has a low cane because he's a hunchback and would need a low cane. Schwartswalder Kirschtorte is Black Forest Cherry Cake. The monster never had a name other than the monster or the creature although I have heard it said that in the original Mary Shelley book that he was given the name of Adam, being the first artificial man as opposed to the first man. I've read the book and I can't remember reading that part, but I could be mistaken. The monster may as well be called Frankenstein at this point because everyone unfamiliar with the story thinks it's his name. Universal studio didn't help matters either with movie titles like Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man.
This movie is the reason Gene Wilder is in Blazing Saddles. Gene told Mel Brooks he'd do Blazing Saddles if Mel produced Young Frankenstein. This movie was Gene Wilder's brainchild.
Awwwww!!!! Wow, no wonder he felt so passionate about his “creation” haha! I loved that scene when he told his assistant not to help him cause he wanted to do it by himself lol. Like a true parent 😂
Back in the day ladies didn't smoke cigars, so it was a much funnier line originally. The horse reacted to Chloris Leachmans character name is because blucher means glue in German.
First reaction of yours I came across. Really enjoyed it! New sub here! Such a great movie. Also think about the fact that Mel Brooks put out this and Blazing Saddles in the same year! That man is just talent wrapped in a body.
3:57 Let me just take a moment to point out a seldom-realized note of _absurdity_ at this point in the movie. Dr. Victor Frankenstein is traveling from the city of the medical school at which he _lectures_ which is in the _United States,_ to the mansion of his late grandfather, Dr. Victor Von Frankenstein, in _Transylvania..._ by _train._ He has managed to find a _train_ that runs from _North America_ to _Europe._ Never mind the _whole Atlantic Ocean._
18:20 I think _this_ part was premature. This guy will need a _lot_ more training before something like _this_ is in order. Mainly, for one example, he needs to be taught to get along with fire the way the _average_ human being does. Human beings are _distinguished,_ as a _species,_ by our relationship with _fire._ No other animal on _Earth_ is able to _start_ it, _control_ it, _fight_ it, and in the event it becomes necessary, _extinguish_ it. Every _other_ animal on Earth survives by instinctively _avoiding_ fire.
This is really weird. I know that all the reaction channels copy eachother and react to the same movies within the last year (Back to the future, Indiana Jones, Mel Brookes, Arnie movies, etc.) but you don't seem to have a Blazing Saddles video up (really weird seeing as all the other reaction channels have one), even though you mention the accent of the woman Gene Wilder elbows at the train station. Which movie were you referring to that she has an accent in?

If you read the lyrics to the old song "Chattanooga Choo Choo" you'll find the interaction between the boy and Frederick at the Transylvania station:
"Pardon me boy, is that the Chattanooga choo choo?"
"Right on track 29, boy, you can give me a shine."
Good song
The Black and White almost disarms you as to what is to come in a way. This entire movie is a quote. Brilliant. "SEDAGIVE?!" 👀
😂 then they said “3 syllables” 😂 I did not see that coming
Abby Normal.... 🤣

"Eye-gor!"
"Froderick!"
Love this movie.
😂 😂 that part was hilarious
Marty Feldman is a British legend
5:34 "Lot of discharging going on tonight, I bet." OMG, I'm dying here! 😂
😂 😳
The old man on the stretcher in the beginning is the same actor who played the preacher in "Blazing Saddles". Taffeta, everyone!
The dessert they are eating (Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte) is the proper German name for what we call Black Forest Cake.
There is an old song called Chattanooga Choo Choo with the lyrics "track 29, can I give you a shine".
Oooooh I thought it must have been a song lol,
I'm surprised Brooks didn't also throw in a joke about another Glen Miller song. (Transylvania 6-5000)
"I decline! Oh c'mon."
Good one! Mel totally should have written that joke! Lol
Haha! They may have done that on purpose 😂
24:02 Here's an _especially_ absurd note. This inspector has an _eyepatch_ with a _monocle._
The actor who played the experiment subject, (Mr. Hilltop), at the beginning, also played Reverend Johnson, in "Blazing Saddles".
You missed the doctor give the creature a treat just before the song and dance number - my favorite joke!
Oh I definitely did! 😂
Blind Man is GENE HACKMAN!!

What does that women DO to those poor horses? We want to know.
Before any goofy people say it, "Blucher" does NOT mean "glue" in German 😛
It means: "Jelly Doughnut" ( old JFK reference)
Unfortunately, Mel Brooks claimed it did which leads to the misconception.
Omg, this is one of my all time favorite movies and I NEVER understood why the horses freaked out at Blucher's name. I FINALLY get it🤣. All fine by me if the name does not actually mean "glue" or not. I just love the fact that I finally get it. Lolol 😃

Oh no way!!!!
@@NiaMakiReacts Way😀
I love how many shots and camera movements just look so 30s retro... amazing film, and glad to see you "got" the wavelength :)
Yes, it would've been great if Gene had recorded audio books before he passed, R.I.P.
"Do you want an F?" Whoa, teacher Nia don't play 😵
Lmao!!! I needed to channel that energy when I taught 😂
In 2008, Gene Wilder recorded his own second novel, *The Woman Who Wouldn't,* for Random House Audio.
6:19
"Eye-Gore; Help Me With The Bags"..
"OK; You Take The Blonde, I'll Take The One In the Turban!"
Lol that was a good one too

The Transylvania Station gag is a parody of the song Chattanooga Choo-Choo.
1:26 The preacher in Blazing Saddles
Ok!! Thanks! I couldn’t remember who exactly
Transylvania Station - track 29 - give you a shine? This is a parody of Glen Miller's CHATTANOOGA CHOO-CHOO. Give it a listen.
oooooooooooooo Still doin' the Classics..........................laughter incoming!!!
the outro was cut....................Love those curls
It’s in the linked video 😂 curls are slowly returning

4:18 it’s a play on the word of the song Chattanooga Choo Choo
Spooky season got me into FTW vids a few yrs back -great for reactions. (even the funny ones)
One of my favorites! This is my favorite Halloween-time film to watch.
Yes! I can get behind this as a Halloween movie! Non of that scary nonsense
track 29 can I give you a shine is from a famous song." IS THAT THE CHATTANOOGA CHOO CHOO""
Thanks! U figured it had to be a song but I didn’t know which
Monocle covering eye patch 🤣
😂 😂
Is this Transylvania station? Ja ja. Track29. It's in ref to the song Chattanooga Choo Choo which has similar lyrics.
You cracked me up when you said go nads. Lol I’m rollin
😂 😂
"Put ... Der Kandel ... BAACK !!"
😂 😂
Talk about a one scene wonder. Gene Hackman (blind man) needed to do more comedies.
Back in the day ladies didn't smoke cigars, so it was a much funnier line originally. The horse reacted to Chloris Leachmans character name is because blucher means glue in German.
This is a classic gene Wilder did a fantastic job as did all the other actors, always a good watch.
Yeah I absolutely loved Gene Wilder. The “get me out of here” might be my fav part 😂
@@NiaMakiReactsf you liked Gene Wilder, you might like movies he did with Richard Pryor, one of which was “See No Evil, Hear No Evil.”
The monster is Raymond's dad
"Frau BLOO-KER!!"
First reaction of yours I came across. Really enjoyed it! New sub here!
Such a great movie. Also think about the fact that Mel Brooks put out this and Blazing Saddles in the same year! That man is just talent wrapped in a body.
Same year?!?! Sheesh!!

For Nia: have u viewed 1931 Frankenstein & 1935 Bride of Frankenstein? If not, u wasn’t advised correctly
If you liked Young Frankenstein, you'll love Blazing Saddles...
Hilarious movie!! 😂Loved it!
Yesss!!! This was a fun Halloween movie for me!
Woof!

19:40 See? He sees _fire_ and he loses his _cool._
first! yay. My favourite movie, reviewed by my favourite reactor, does it get any better than this?
Thanks Thomas!!! Woot woot!! This might be my fav Mel Brooks movie so far 😂
@@NiaMakiReacts ..only a favorite, (with gravy on the side!)
This loosely follows Son of Frankenstein.
If Frau Blucher (Whinny!) was the girlfriend of Frederick's great-grandfather, how old must she be?
Whinny!!! Ok thank you SO much, I sss confused about that lol. And that is an excellent question 😂 didn’t think of that
