Top to bottom stacked with solid jokes and a very fun watch. Not the best Brooks but still extremely enjoyable

Some really funny bits. Pretty disjointed. Definitely would rub a lot of people the wrong way nowadays. But otherwise, classic Mel Brooks.

Some jokes are cool and some scenes are funny.

An on-point satire that perfectly (and hilariously) mocks some of the world’s best and worst moments. Up next: HITLER ON ICE!

I really wish we got more besides just part 1. Especially the singing. The song about the Spanish Inquisition.

Classic Mel@brooks film. Will be sure to make you laugh. It reminds me of Spaceballs with its similar film style

It’s Mel Brooks not at his best but at his most ambitious.
