Anecdotes
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 Frankenstein (1931) and its sequels, 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.

Gaffes
Flipped shot. In the chase scene in the woods, the Police Inspector's prosthetic arm, badge, and monocle/eye patch "switch" from right to left. His companion cradles his gun in his left arm. In extra footage on the Blu-ray edition, the same man is shown in raw footage, cradling the gun in his right arm.

Citations
Igor: You know, I'll never forget my old dad. When these things would happen to him... the things he'd say to me.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: What did he say?
Igor: "What the hell are you doing in the bathroom day and night? Why don't you get out of there and give someone else a chance?"

Crédits fous
The zero in the 20th Century Fox logo at the beginning is slightly tilted, which has been used by Fox on several occasions, including for the opening of Star Wars: Épisode IV - Un nouvel espoir (1977).

Versions alternatives
The theatrical and Magnetic Video releases have a Rated PG MPAA rating screen after the "The End" disclaimer. On further releases, the rating screen is edited out, and the movie ends immediately.

Possibly Mel Brooks' Best Film

Over 30 years later this film still provides a ton of laughs to audiences.

It's always good to see the late Marty Feldman, whose face was hysterical and perfect for this film. In fact, he, along with the camera-work, really make this film one to watch and enjoy multiple times. Teri Garr was at her best and never looked as pretty as did in here. Add in the great talents of Gene Wilder, Madeline Kahn, Gene Hackman, Peter Boyle, Cloris Leachman, etc., and you have a memorable movie with a lot of memorable scenes.

Looking at the Frankenstien "monster" in a tuxedo or sitting up in bed with a cigar reading The Wall Street Journal are just a few of the outlandish scenes, along Wilder entering the mansion commenting on the "nice knockers."

Kudos, also, for Mel Brooks having the good sense to film this in black-and- white. It may have been his best film, although "Blazing Saddles" would give it a run for its money. My only complaint was Wilder's constant yelling, which becomes abrasive and can give you a headache after awhile! Still, this has to be considered one of the best "comedy classics" ever.
