Movie Reviews of History of the World Part I

Movie Review: Another classic from Mel Brooks
Summary: 5 Stars

While this isn't as good as "Blazing Saddles" and "Spaceballs," it's certainly better than "Dracula: Dead and Loving It." This film will make you laugh your @$$ off as Brooks brings out the ironic/slapstick humor from the Dawn of Man, the Roman Empire, the Spanish Inquisition (one of my favorite scenes), and the French Revolution. Gregory Hines, Sid Caesar, Madeline Kahn, a cameo appearance of Juhn Hurt, and the voice of Orson Welles make this movie shine. Highly recommended for all Brooks fans, and for those who actually want to see some humor in world history.

Summary of History of the World Part I

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" to the real stories behind the Roman Empire (Brooks portrays a stand-up philosopher at Caesar's Palace) the French Revolution (Brooks reigns 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.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: R UPC: 024543371625 Manufacturer No: 2237162
Mel Brooks's 1981, three-part comedy--set in the Stone Age, the Roman Empire, and the French Revolution--is pure guilty pleasure. Narrated by Orson Welles and featuring a lot of famous faces in guest appearances (beyond the official cast), the film opens well with Sid Caesar playing a caveman, then moves along to the unlikely but somehow hilarious juxtaposition of Caesar's soldiers (the other Caesar, not Sid) with pot humor, and ends on a dumb-funny note in the French bloodbath. This is a take-it-or-leave-it movie, and it works best if you're in a take-it-or-leave-it mood. --Tom Keogh
