|  | | Come on now, it's a Mel Brooks film so you know it's going to be funny. I'm a Dracula fan and love the original story so I was a little curious to see what Brooks would do to it. When I saw the film, my questions were answered and the laughter came in spades. You'll see alot of Brooks' regular actors returning for this one including Harvey Korman, Megan Cavanaugh, Amy Yasbeck, Peter MacNicol, and even Ann Bancroft in a cameo in the beginning of the film. Steven Weber was great as Jonathan Harker as was Brooks as Van Helsing. Leslie Nielson mixed his "Naked Gun" character with Dracula and the results are definately pleasing. But the standout actor in this film is Peter MacNicol as Renfield, Dracula's slave under his power. MacNicol's performance is hands down the best of the film. If you're looking for a good laugh, this film will deliver on every level possible. But this film comes second to Robin Hood: Men In Tights which is Brooks' best film of his career.
| | | I thought this movie was absolutely hilarious, and it doesn't need to refernece almost everything to sex, like most of today's comedies do. It's just simple slapstick and great jokes and tons of funny scenes. I love it! I saw this movie a couple years ago, and have been searching for it since. Maybe this DVD will give me the chance I need.
| | | This is an excellent movie, it's been one of my favourites for years. I believe that Mel Brooks is a true genius. However, reading the reviews for this movie, I hardly think that they do it justice. Everyone should watch this movie. And to those reviewers who listed great Mel Brooks movies, I DO agree with you, but HELLO! You are all forgetting his funniest movie ever-
ROBIN HOOD MEN IN TIGHTS!
There is no movie that can compare with this one in terms of comedy.
So, in conclusion, Dracula Dead and Loving It is excellent, you should buy it, Mel Brooks is a genius and you should all buy Robin Hood Men In Tights and watch it many, many times until you have learnt it all off by heart as I (and many of my good friends) have done.

| | You couldn't have comprehended Bram stokers novel very well considering twice you spelt it B.R.A.N. Not to mention all your other mispellings and atrocious grammar. As for Bram Stoker's Dracula. That was the worst Dracula movie ever made on a high budget.Like wow man... Keanu Reeves is like uh... totally convincing as an englishmen.Mel Brooks was totally in the right to blast that movie.Though he barely touched on that one.70% of it was a satire of the Bela Lugosi version,so chill out dude.The Wayan brothers? HA! The Wayan brothers say "When we grow up, we hope we'll have as much comedic genius in our entire bodies as Mel Brooks has in his little pinky. Amazons review section should have an indicator next to the reviews that are written by children 12 years or younger.Sometimes I feel a little guilty when I tell people off.BUT NOT IN YOUR CASE. On to the DVD.For itself it's a great movie. Picture dimensions compared to the VHS; the same at the top, a little more to the sides, but the bottom is cut off slightly.This only bothered me for one scene. On the VHS at the end of the autopsy you can catch a glimpse of the cadaver's face.(That's the dead body on the table,PAPERPLATER). On the DVD you can't see it at all.The commentary is good but not great(in the informative sense).Yet I've watched this 3 times with commentary,because it's fun to listen to.I would still like to know who composed that wonderful piece Dracula and Mina waltz to just when Dracula said "COME MISS MINA"at the ballroom dance.A music only track would have been nice.And a 20 minute behind the scenes with outakes and bloopers should have been included.If this dvd came out years ago,these things wouldn't bother me.But after such a long wait, my suggestions should have been included.The sound and picture quality is excellent.THIS ONE IS RECOMMENED as a keeper for the intelligent movie viewer.
| | | This movie trashes one of the most awesome Dracula movies ever made: Francis Ford Copola's "Bran Stoker's Dracula". I have read the original Bran Stoker novel more times than I care to admit, and it still stares me witless. There have been many worth movie versions depicting the immortal Vlad the Impaler, and if someone was going to spoof it then it should have been the Wayans Brothers or someone funny. Notice how Leslie Neilson's career dried up once the Naked Gun movies started?
