@@demizson576 You're relying on *wikipedia*?! That site is well known to forget to fact-check just about all of the data there to begin with. I'd not be surprised if he did, he was an old man when this movie was made, but still, that's an odd source to begin with, and intrinsically unreliable at best.
Fushta!!! Lol. That line became a running joke with me and my first wife. Any time one of us would leave a room, we would quickly step back in and say it then back out. Rip, my angel. I still think of how hard we laughed every time we did that.
I actually use that line sometimes when the opportunity arises just to see if anyone can detect my attempt at trolling. Usually, they just get upset. Haha.
Not much of a challenge though. There's yet to be a single Dracula adaptation that respects the source material. I blame Coppola and his fan fiction of a movie...
This scene never fails to make me smile. Leslie Nielsen was the only man that could have pulled this scene off with Mel Brooks. No one could do a loving parody like Brooks, and there are few that stood anywhere near Nelson when it came the role of the straight man in a comedic setting.
@@lordgenerias Autocorrect is the vampire and frankenstein of our younger generation. As a (sadly) older movie viewer, I agree. This scene never fails to make me smile.
@zztop3000 Mel Brooks is a unique individual, with a unique thought process. While there may be people who could create a movie similar to any of Brooks', it wouldn't be in his exact style. It's like people that try to make something in the same style as Hideo Kojima. You can get something similar, but no one can truly replicate what makes his work unique. Same with Brooks.
Dear lord this is the finest example of deadpan parley that has ever existed. Mel Brooks and Leslie Nielsen are to comedy what Pacino & DeNiro are to drama. Put them in the same scene and it's pure gold.
In my childhood we were dirt poor. We had about 5 vhs cassettes that me and my sister would replay over and over again. We had learned every word and it’s delivery of every film we had in those vhs. We would often fight when we wanted to record over a beloved movie. Dracula dead and loving it was one of those movies we watched atleast over 80 times. Watching these clips really brings me back to a 5 year old version of myself. Being scared whilst then also finding something funny but being a little too scared to laugh. Hahaha now I can freely laugh.
Oh yeah, I didn't even realize that until you pointed it out, that Mel Brooks ultimately made a frankenstein AND a dracula movie. Spaced decades apart.
In the original book by Bram Stoker, Van Helsing is described as a rather incompetent, goofy man. Except when dealing with a vampire, then he becomes all serious and professional. So Mel Brooks here is totally nailing the character.
The simplest, yet most effective comedy. Just a back and forth, lines performed masterfully in their casual manner. No one pulled the "absurd while serious" comedy like Nielsen. Legend, RIP.
@Sesshomaru "A Nobel Prize-winning Austrian-Irish physicist who developed a number of fundamental results in quantum theory: the Schrödinger equation provides a way to calculate the wave function of a system and how it changes dynamically in time." From Wiki. You may have heard of Schrödinger's cat.
Can we just appreciate how comfortably they hit their comedic beats? That's what I love about Leslie Neilson and Mel Brooks, it comes off so naturally and it's what makes the comedy so great. These completely off the wall statements given in such a seemingly normal conversation. I love it!
A classic scene! The timing is marvelous! Harvey Korman's high pitched "Tepes...?" always makes me laugh. My dad and I used to do the "ancient Moldavian" all the time.
After watching Dracula Untold, the line became more hilarious. They really did have it coming. The Turks wanted 100 boys from Transylvania including Vlad's son as soldiers. Considering what happened to him when he was recruited in his youth I'd be lying if I said I wasn't cheering him on for that.
@Giuseppe Shmo ohh yeah DEFINATELY lol he was hilarious. I grew up laughing my butt off at his movies from a very young age I wish I had met him in person
The Naked Gun movies just wouldn't be the same without him, there's just something with the way his delivery of his lines with his comedies that just can't be easily replicated
Such a classic comedy. I remember seeing it in theatres & absolutely loving it. Mel Brooks has always had such a great gift for parodies & I can't think of a single person who could ever deadpan even close to as well as the late great Leslie Nielsen.
Im 31 so I guess I was 7 when this came out. Im glad Im able to appreciate this type of comedy and satire. Leslie Nielsen and Brooks remind me of Graucho Marx in their witty comedy and sarcastic undertones. Comedic gold. Saldy A movie such as this would never be made again at least not for theatrical release. This generation (my generation) is too preoccupied with pure action and violence and dont care for much detail. Im sure there are many like me though, that appreciate classics like these.
This proves that Dracula might be dead but, as spirit, he's still happy. Hence, "Dead And Loving It". Or as in his omitted quote: “IT'S GOOD TO BE DEAD!!!”
The first bad habit I noticed from my wife when we were just dating was she had to have the last word in an argument. This scene always cracks me up knowing that about her.
Dracula; We have a saying in the old country: "Nostloy bleckla, den noi pushta." Van Helsing; They also say: "Stanisha ploftoi, gag mul pafuft." Dracula; I'm very impressed Van Helsing, you speak the ancient moldavian... Van Helsing; Fale dadalic ta. Dracula; Kaploi. Well gentleman, I will take my... Van Helsing; Manush.... Dracula; Leave...I see Van Helsing that you are a man who likes to have the last word. I will not be drawn into such a childish exercise...paloshtoi. Van Helsing; Hahaha, it is immature to me who has the last word... Polotnik! Dracula; It is getting late, we will carry on this conversation at another time, Goodnight. Van Helsing; Good night. Dracula; Abalutza. Van Helsing; Hmmff.., such arrogance... it is easy to see why the decadent aristocracy is dying out in that part of the world. Fushta! Gentlemen, our work is not done. The vampire is still among us. You must remember he is cunning. He has the wisdom of centuries. And above all, he will never give up...! Dracula; Gerania! Van Helsing; That man! He never gives up! ...Never gives up.. Jonathan; What're you thinking professor? Van Helsing; When did count Dracula move in? Dr. Seward; 'Bout a month ago. Van Helsing; And when did Miss Lucy's symptoms first appear? Dr. Sweard; 'Bout the same time. Jonathan; Are you saying that Count Dracula is our vampire? Van Helsing; Yes..and no.. Jonathan; Then what're you saying? Van Helsing; I'm saying no..but I'm leaning towards yes. Dr. Seward; Then you're saying yes. Van Helsing; No. Dr. Seward; Then it's no. Van Helsing; Not necessarily. Jonathan; You sound dubious. Van Helsing; No I'm positive. Jonathan; Of what? Van Helsing; My theory! Jonathan; And that would be? Van Helsing; The theory of Yes...or No...
I wouldn't call his character in Airplane stupid. I think it's fair to say that his role as Dracula was his most serious role in a parody. Most of his comedy came from reacting to those around him as opposed to his actions.
This movie is so underrated like I can't even begin from the actors to the dialogue to the references it's just an all-around great movie and any time I watch it I laugh and I die of laughter. But out of the whole movie my favorite character has to be Renfield
I remember back in high school after I saw this movie I started saying "FUSHTA" to people if I disagreed with them or if I just wanted to annoy them. A lot of people thought I was saying "F you" in another language LOL
I have owned this movie for many years. I have watched this movie hundreds of times. Harvey Korman, Mel Brooks, AND Leslie Nielsen... ALL in the same movie? WOW!
@@aycc-nbh7289 i dont care about your wikipedia. Wikipedia its a fraud. Also, romanians are not moldavians. In moldova they live around 2 3 milions of moldavians. In Romania, we are around 19milioms which 6mil are gipsyes who natively are from India, Tziganiy.
Where has this movie been all my life. Loved history of the world, spaceballs, young Frankenstein and blazing saddles but never knew about this absolute gem
This movie is such an underrated comedic gem. Putting Mel Brooks character against Leslie Nielsen’s character was a fantastic idea. This scene alone showed they had fantastic chemistry. Makes me wish they did more movies since the 80s at least. I’m still trippin on how those two were the same age too. RIP Leslie Nielsen
