Trivia:
|
- The clock rings 13 times at the beginning of the film.
- The original cut of the movie was almost twice as long and was considered by all involved to be an abysmal failure. It was only after a marathon cutting session that they produced the final cut of the film, which both Wilder and Brooks considered to be far superior to the original product. At one point they noted that for every joke that worked, there were three that fell flat. So they went in and trimmed all the jokes that didn't work.
- 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.
- The sound of the off-screen cat screaming when hit by a dart was director Mel Brooks.
