As with virtually all Mel Brooks films, most of the jokes fell flat; it doesn't help that he's never content to simply wink][nn], but ensures that the joke, falling flat, wasn't missed. As a spoof, though, it's decent, and the best scenes are those torn outright from other films -- my personal favourite was the blind man sequence from [Bride of Frankenstein.
