I love Mel Brooks' films. I have seen them all and watch my favorites (Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, High Anxiety, Producers) several times a year. I went to Dracula the day it opened and walked out before it finished - demanding and getting my money back. A complete waste of the talents of some truly funny comedians. I expectd a "High Anxiety" tour de force from Harvey Korman and the perfect timing and deadpan delivery of Naked Gun from Nielson. Instead I saw two great professionals struggeling desperately with third rate material. I'm sorry that there is no way to give zero stars. Certainly the worst movie Mel's ever made and among the worst made in recent memory. If anyone but Brooks made this film, it would have gone directly to video. In vamipre terms, this film sucks.
