Movie Review: History of the World - According to Mel Brooks
Summary: 5 Stars
Though it's not considered a classic like Blazing Saddles or Young Frankenstein, there are a lot of laughs to be found in Mel Brooks' HISTORY OF THE WORLD PART I, a zany,if inconsistent look at Biblical times, the Stone Age, Ancient Rome, the Spanish Inquisition, and the French Revolution as seen through Brooks' demented brain. The film is not as all encompassing as its title implies, but Mel gives his own twisted vision to these particular times in earth's history, which includes Mel himself in four different roles, including Moses and his own version of Louis XIV (It's Good to be the King). Mel gathers his usual nutty repertory company together and laughs are provided by Sid Ceasar (very funny as a caveman), Madeline Kahn and Dom DeLuise (hysterical as Cleopatra and Ceasar), Gregory Hines, Cloris Leachman, and Harvey Korman as Count De Money ("That's De Monay!!!).
As always in his films, music is key and the Spanish Inquisition is presented here as a mammoth production number that is guaranteed to either amuse or offend,depending on your mood. Hard-core Brooks fans will love it, others be warned...there's something to offend everyone here.
Movie Review: Mel Brook's: History of the World Part 1
Summary: 5 Stars
This is My favorite Comedy by the Legendary Mel Brooks. His Son Max wrote World War Z so buy that one too.Movie Review: Still waiting..........
Summary: 4 Stars
Even after 28 plus years, this movie is still funny. One of the "high" points is SUPER JOINT with the late, great Gregory Hines. Seriously, this is funny stuff. Ya gotta watch out for "the first art critic"!! Oh piss boy!! I can spend all day reciting the funny one liners, but do us all a favor, buy this movie, watch it when the kids are asleep.Movie Review: Incredibly funny, daft, inspired comedy
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie has a huge number of very funny moments. It's one of Mel Brooks' funniest films, and I laughed out loud during a great deal of this.
Summary of History of the World Part 1
Mel Brooks's 1981, three-part comedy--set in the Stone Age, the Roman Empire, and the French Revolution--is pure guilty pleasure. Narrated by Orson Welles and featuring a lot of famous faces in guest appearances (beyond the official cast), the film opens well with Sid Caesar playing a caveman, then moves along to the unlikely but somehow hilarious juxtaposition of Caesar's soldiers (the other Caesar, not Sid) with pot humor, and ends on a dumb-funny note in the French bloodbath. This is a take-it-or-leave-it movie, and it works best if you're in a take-it-or-leave-it mood. --Tom KeoghClass Differences Video
