Trivia:
|
- The clock rings 13 times at the beginning of the film.
- The assistant property master's name, Charles Sertin, is on the third brain on the shelf.
- The howling wolf sound on the ride to the castle was made by director Mel Brooks.
- 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.
- The cast and especially Mel Brooks had so much fun and were so upset when principal photography was almost completed, that Mel added scenes to continue shooting.
