A little something to offend everyone...
Mel Brooks' uproarious version of history proves nothing is sacred as he takes us on a laugh-filled look at what really happened throughout time. His delirious romp features everything from a wild send-up of 2001: A Space Odyssey to the real stories behind the Roman Empire (Brooks plays a stand-up philosopher at Caesar's Palace), the French Revolution (Brooks as King Louis XVI) and the Spanish Inquisition (a splashy song-and-dance number with monks and swimming nuns).
It's Mel and company at their hilarious best!

I had totally forgotten about this film until I saw a clip on TV, so time to check it out again. I have to say, although I had not seen it for about 15 years, I forgot how timeless and funny this is. A parody on famous movies and times in history, with some suprisingly good effects for the time. For me, Mel Brooks can be quite hit and miss, but this film was a definate hit. Who else could do a musical number about the Spanish inquisition?
