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

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

      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.

      Hump. The Doctor never could quite figure out what was going on with that hump.

    Whose last name, when spoken, caused lightning and thunder to occur, and scared the horses?'Young Frankenstein' Adventures

      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.

    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

    What game did the Doctor play with Inspector Kemp?'Young Frankenstein' Adventures

      Darts. Who would have known that an errant dart could break through a window and still have enough momentum to penetrate a tire, if it wasn't for this movie?

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

      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.

    Who was a 'Mother's angel'?'Young Frankenstein' Adventures

      The Monster. When the Doctor made the decision to be locked in a room alone with the monster, the value of stroking the monster's ego became clear.

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

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

      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.

    What was Elizabeth's 'lucky number'?'Young Frankenstein' Adventures

      7. Once you see this movie, 'Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life' will never work as a serious love song again.

    When the Doctor transfered some of his brain to the monster, Inga and Igor had to wait exactly how many minutes before stopping the transference?'Young Frankenstein' Adventures

    In Elizabeth's final scene, her hairstyle paid homage to an earlier movie. Which one?'Young Frankenstein' Adventures

      Bride of Frankenstein. The style was very tall and had a long white streak running through it. It was a duplicate of the hairstyle for the female monster in 'Bride of Frankenstein'.

      Falkstein. The will was from the Doctor's great grandfather, Baron Bofort Von Frankenstein.

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

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