Young Frankenstein the movie

Watched Young Frankenstein.. it's an old movie that's like a tribute and a parody to the frankenstein classic. The story goes like this;

The grandson of the late Baron Von Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein an accomplished neurosurgeon, went back to the castle in Transylvannia to do something( forgot what he was going to do), leaving his primp playing-hard-to-get fiancee( she won't let Frankenstein kiss her cos it'll smear her lipstick) behind.

Along the way to the castle at the misty looking train station, he was recieved by Igor( pronounced eye-gor in the movie) with a brit accent and a beautiful blond lab assistant( She looked like Dharma in the Dharma & Greg sitcom) with a fake german accent. Despit Frederick's incessant dismissals of his grandfather's work on creating life from dead tissue earlier in the movie, he ended up re-animating a corpse anyway. The 'creature' also happened to be 7 feet tall with heavy ridges on the forehead and squarish looking skull. Just like the creature in the old Frankenstein movie...Coincidence? hmm.

Anyway, the 'creature' he created turned out to be a little on the slow side and was actually just a frightened child who was misunderstood as a dangerous monster blah blah.... To display his genius work to the world, Frederick teamed up with the creature to perform a little tap dancing act to the background of swing jazz music to the crowd of scientists and intellects. Hmm. Halfway through the act, one of the spotlights on the stage burst into flames and the 'creature' went predictable berserk( he hates fires). He went ahead and scared away the audience, only to be apphrehended by the police. While in jail, the 'creature' knocked a policeman who was taunting him cold and broke out of jail. He went back to the castle to kidnap Frederick's fiancee( Oh yeah, Fred's fiancee came over to the castle to see how he was doing, and meanwhile, Frederick was screwing the lab assistant behind her back.. heheheh). He brought Frederick's fiancee to some eerie place and showed her what a monster Frederick never was... and she loved it.. all seven times of it...

So the worried Fred tried to lure the 'creature' back with violin music(the creature loves violin music), fearing for his fiancee's safety, genuinely ignorant to the fact that the ' creature' and his fiancee were having the time of their lives. With the 'creature' strapped tightly back in the castle, Frederick Frankenstein did another experiment to rectify the monster's lack of intelligence( the monster could only moan and groan) so that he would act more intelligently and not be maligned as a menace. Halfway through the procedure, the townfolks chose that opportune moment to charge into the castle with blazing torches and pitchforks... typical... Naturally, the experiment was slightly botched and Frederick was slightly unconcious for a while. Meanwhile, the 'creature' woke up from the procedure, apparantly changed and spoke articulately to the villagers, reassuring them that he was just another harmless fellow. The villagers, satisfied that the 'creature' was not danger to them, shook hands with him and left. wtf..

Fast forward to an undisclosed time in the future. Frederick was married with the lab assistant and Frederick's fiancee married the 'creature'. The 'creature' is lying on the bed reading newspapers, wearing half moon glasses and looking really bored of his talktative horny wife( no longer playing-hard-to-get). And the next scene, Frederick was lying in bed with the lab assistant, and she wondered if there were any side effects from the botched procedure that her hubby suffered... and he proceeded to show her what a monster he was.... hahahahaha

This is supposed to be one of those great classics... I don't get it.. hmm. The show is funny in a corny way, with some slapstick humour and poking fun of the characters in the old frankenstein movie... but a great classic, nope...

I rather watch seven samurai again, now.. that's a great classic
