Movie Reviews of Transylvania 6-5000
Movie Review: Talk about a bad dream
Summary: 3 Stars
I hadn't watched this film before because I'd been swayed by Leonard Maltin's shortest ever film review on Entertainment Tonight: after bobbing his head to a few seconds of the Glenn Miller Orchestra, he just said, "'Transylvania 6-5000.' Stinks." (IMDB says he said 'Stunk,' but I remember him saying 'Stinks.')
I finally rented the DVD after enjoying Jeff Goldblum's performance in "Pittsburgh." If you see "Transylvania 6-5000," I recommend watching "Pittsburgh" if you haven't already, and vice-versa.
The director, Rudy De Luca worked on several Mel Brooks films, and at times this feels likes a cross between Brooks' "Young Frankenstein" and Merrie Melodies' "Transylvania 6-5000" Bugs Bunny cartoon from 1963. I laughed more than I did during Brooks' mid-eighties films; I especially appreciated the surgeon who says "you don't lobotomy, I don't lobotoyou" and the newspaper editor's confusion about a Rope Factory.
I forgot to listen to the audio commentary before I returned the disc. I wanted to find out more about what DOW chemical company had to do with the film. IMDB mentions DOW funded the film to make use of frozen finances in Yugoslavia.
