I understand that its a bit divisive amongst the fanbase as it absolutely tears apart 3 OVAs to make a super-Americanized Frankenstein of a movie.. but I will always treasure and appreciate it

Then, he invented the first external, battery-operated, transistorized, wearable artificial pacemaker in 1957 & founded Medtronic.

They were put off by it at first but they ended up liking it. We made it through half of Bride as well.

The screenplay was co-written by Brooks and Gene Wilder. Wilder also starred in the lead role as the title character, a descendant of the infamous Victor Frankenstein. Peter Boyle portrayed the monster.[4] The film co-stars Teri Garr, Cloris Leachman, Marty Feldman, Madeline Kahn, Kenneth Mars, Richard Haydn, and Gene Hackman. This version is colorized, but why? I don't…

But the Frankenstein patchwork is vivid, fun, and true to 80s action-trash sensibility à la Commando, '86 Running Man, Kickboxer.
neutral · AI labelView post →1) A great horror sequel, Universal's best classic horror film, and the pinnacle of director James Whale's too-short career, The Bride of Frankenstein is a delight. It mixes horror with satire, nightmare with empathy, rampages with queer subtext to create Hollywood's ultimate monster flick.

neutral · AI labelView post →6) House of Frankenstein is a ridiculous movie that works almost like an improv party game as new monsters enter the story. None of it makes a lot of sense and every emotional arc collapses on itself by the end, but it's fun to watch Universal drunk drive through its own IP.
