10/10.My favorite Mel Brooks movie.The hilarity's off the charts here.Movies like this deserve all the praise it got as it was big at the box office. Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder, Harvey Korman, Madeline, Kahn, Alex Karris, even Mel Brooks himself are all great here.A movie like this wouldn't be made or shown into the uber sensitive age we're living in now.Still I laugh at the pure genius of this movie and the comedic master behind it, Mel Brooks.

Trivia: When Lamarr tells Le Petomane that his name is Hedley Lamarr and not Hedy, Le Petomane says that since it's 1874, Hedley could sue her. In 1974, actress Hedy Lamarr filed a lawsuit against Mel Brooks claiming the joke infringed on her privacy. The lawsuit was settled out of court.
Question: Is Gabby Johnson saying "Reverend" or "Rerand" during the church scene?
Chosen answer: Reverend.
