Revealing mistake: Mel jumps over a step that he senses to be weak. The step he actually jumps onto (and collapses) has been pre-cut in a zig-zag pattern. (01:26:50)
High Anxiety (1977)
1 picture
Directed by: Mel Brooks
Starring: Mel Brooks, Cloris Leachman, Madeline Kahn, Harvey Korman
Revealing mistake: While Dr. Wentworth is driving his car trying to shut off the loud music on the radio, the dashboard shows that the car's gearshift indicator is not in "D" for "Drive."
Dr. Richard H. Thorndyke: Professor Little Old Man.
Dr. Vicktor Lillolman: "Lillolman." "Lillolman."
Trivia: When Dr. Thorndyke is checking into the hotel in San Francisco, he is informed a "Mr. MacGuffin" has changed his room number. "MacGuffin" is a movie-making term popularized by Alfred Hitchcock referring to a plot device that drives the story, but what the object actually is or does is irrelevant.
Question: What is the name of the song that blasts in Dr. Wentworth's car and causes his ears to rupture? Or was it something created for the movie?
