Trivia:
|
- The sound of the off-screen cat screaming when hit by a dart was director Mel Brooks.
- When Victor finds his grandfather's private library, he finds a book titled "How I Did It." This is actually a joke for those people who have read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. In the book, Frankenstein, Shelley never reveals how Victor reanimated dead flesh. The screenwriter obviously knew this and inserts the "How I Did It" book as a joke.
- The clock rings 13 times at the beginning of the film.
- Teri Garr, who plays Inga, was called in when Madeline Kahn, whom Mel Brooks had originally wanted for the role, turned it down and asked if she could play Elizabeth instead. Garr auditioned for the part of Inga, and added the German accent which won her the role.
- A couple who are talking on the train near the beginning of the film are having the same conversation in English, then in German.
