Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information

    Young Frankenstein

    Why does Igor seem to be the natural choice to work for Fredrick?'Young Frankenstein' Fun (LindaC007)

      Blucher . The effect even worked indoors away from the horses, when the Doctor asked her to leave after turning down an offer of a late evening drink of Ovaltine.

    Whose brain was Igor supposed to bring back from the depository?'Young Frankenstein' - Part 2 (BaronTR)

      Hans Delbruck . A nervous Igor was scared by his own reflection in a mirror, and he dropped the container holding the brain, causing it to be destroyed. Needing another brain, he chose 'Abbey someone'.

    Who says, "Ain't got no body! And nobody can afford, I mean yakadaeeda yakadakadeeha!"? Young Frankenstein Quotes (egtrack)

      Igor. When Inga and Frederick find an odd room, they look at skulls. They keep looking until they find one named "Freshly Dead", and right away, Igor sings this. It is one of the funniest parts of the movie. Frederick: "Igor!" Igor: "Frederick!" Then they find his grandfather's library and they want to make the monster.

    Who plays the old blind man who invites the Monster into his cottage?'Young Frankenstein' Fun (LindaC007)

    Which one of the characters was found standing in the lab with their head in the exact spot where a newly dead head was supposed to be?'Young Frankenstein' Adventures (BaronTR)

      Igor. 'I ain't got no body. And no body cares for me.' While searching the lab, the Doctor and Inga run across Igor, who breaks into a song.

    Which character smoked cigars?'Young Frankenstein' - Part 2 (BaronTR)

      Frau Blucher. When the others were searching in the lab for the person who was playing music, she barely had time to put out her cigar and get away before they could find her.

    Which character asked the Doctor if he 'would like to have a roll in the hay'?'Young Frankenstein' - Part 2 (BaronTR)

      Inga. It was very smart of Herr Falkstein to realize that the Doctor would need a laboratory assistant.

    When the Doctor accidentally stabbed himself during a lecture with a scalpel, where was the stab wound?'Young Frankenstein' Adventures (BaronTR)

      Thigh. A student had the gall to suggest that his grandfather's work on dead bodies had merit, and the Doctor learned a valuable lesson about waving a knife around while on a rant.

    When Frederick's fiance Elizabeth arrived at the castle, who was she surprised to discover at the castle?'Young Frankenstein' Adventures (BaronTR)

      Igor. From her reaction it seemed fairly clear to me that the two of them had known each other in the past, but that's one part of the story line that the movie didn't delve into. Of course, it was rated PG.

    When Frau Blucher got a telegram that the Doctor's fiancee was about to arrive and took it to him, she found him and Inga together on the operating table. What article of clothing did she suggest he put on?'Young Frankenstein' Adventures (BaronTR)

      Tie. This is why you should always lock the lab door while having 'an intellectual discussion' with your assistant.

    What word did the Doctor have to get across to Inga and Igor via charades because he was being choked by the monster?'Young Frankenstein' - Part 2 (BaronTR)

      Sedative. 'Give him a sedagive!' Marty Feldman was great in this movie as Igor.

    What was unusual about Igor's hump?'Young Frankenstein' Fun (LindaC007)

      it moved from one side to the other. Surely one of the funniest scenes in the movie is when Fredrick realizes Igor's hump has changed sides!

    What was the track number that the train stopped on at the Transylvania Station?'Young Frankenstein' Adventures (BaronTR)

      29. The dialogue in the scene was a play on words taken from the Glenn Miller hit 'Chattanooga Choo Choo', complete with a shoeshine boy at the stop for the Doctor to ask where the train was.

      How I Did It. After finishing the book, the now half-crazed Doctor proclaimed 'It could work'!

    What was the name of the girl that the monster played with?'Young Frankenstein' Adventures (BaronTR)

      Helga. This was one of several scenes in the movie where a humorous version of the scene replaced the original, darker, version. Originally, the girl was killed by the monster, vs. being sent via teeter-totter to her upstairs bedroom.
