In "Young Frankenstein", would you take Madeline Kahn or Teri Garr

Me? I'd take Madeline Kahn.

I can't decide; does that mean I get 'em both?

Teri Garr. Without a doubt (and the deleted scenes on the DVD make me think that even more!)

Which one was the blonde?

You take the blonde, I'll take the one in the turban...

Actually, I liked the blonde better. That is one of my favourite movies though. If I really had to choose, I'd take Gene Wilder. He's hot. Or he was, before he got old.

A "me too" . My daughter and I were at Blockbuster last night, and she kindly pointed out the huge picture of Mel Gibson, saying "oohh, he's hot". I concurred, and mentioned that the guy next to him was quite the thing as well. "Willy Wonka?!" "You think Willy Wonka is hot?" "Well, yeah" I said. "In that movie anyway, and in Blazing Saddles and in Young Frankenstein he was hot."

There are definate degrees of hotness. Gene Kelly, for instance, can be quite the hottie, Brad Pitt is, of course, a hottie. Sir Lawrence Oliver was hot only as Heathcliff, Sean Connery was a hottie, but now he is just sexy. I must blush and say that I was rudely awoken fron a beautiful dream the other night, in which I was boinking James Gandolfino.

(I awoke with a smile, however!)

I've favored brunettes since I was 18, but even so, put me down in the "Roll in ze hay mit Teri Garr" queue.

I have been a fan of Ms. Garr for several decades. And, judging by the tone of her last restraining order, she is starting to appreciate me...

Teri Garr (the blonde one) is so sexy in Young Frankenstein. Another movie where she's extremely sexy is One From The Heart. She gets to be sexy AND show off her dancing skills.

I was saddened to hear that she's been suffering from Multiple Sclerosis for the last 20 years.

I feel like the proverbial mule stuck halfway between haystacks of equal size. Let's see . . .

for a one-night only kind of thing, Teri Garr, cause she's more of a classic beauty;

as a regular thing, Madeline Kahn, because I think she'd do more to keep things interesting between the sheets, more creative, dirty play, and so on. (Sorry, but you asked.)

But really, it's hard . . . to choose between them. I think both.

Either of them

Any chick that can carry that kind of tune as she O's would be one hell of a fun date.


"Oh! Where you going? ...Oh, you men are all alike! Seven or eight quick ones and then you're out with the boys to boast and brag! YOU BETTER KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT! Oh... I think I love him! "

You do not know how many times Mrs Bitties has done something along these lines.

Ms. Kahn all the way for me. Loved her accent as Lili Von Schtupp in Blazing Saddles

No, no, no - the scenes that they they saved from the cutting room floor - such as the 'intellectual discussion' scene (Fredrick and Inga have an intellectual discussion on the speed of light that is a thinly-veiled flirtation before they fool around in the lab), and the scene where, after leaving Elizabeth's room, on his knees, he goes to Inga's room (still on his knees) to see if she wants to have ANOTHER 'intellectual discussion'. (With Teri Garr nicely backlit, while wearing a negligee - a little TOO well lit, as it doesn't leave much to the imagination - probably why it was deleted in the first place)

I've always had the hots for Teri Garr, but theres just something about Madeline! Maybe it's the way she was combing her hair in the mirror "Va voomm...Va vooom..."

Cloris Leachman was a good looking woman back in her day too!

Heh, how serendipitous. I've been watching YF (with Mel Brook's comentary) while waiting for the Sprint DSL to get its act together and let me (finally) surf again.

Me? Gene Wilder. Definitely. I'd think Marty Feldman would keep me laughing to hard to do anything (the man was a comic great). Although Peter Boyle in leopard print jammies and reading the Wall Street Journal does appeal to my intellectual sense.

Back then I would have loved to do it in the hay with Teri Garr, but for a long term thing I'd have preferred "Paddlin' Madalyn Home."

Cloris was kinda cute, too!

Teri Garr. She was just smoking back then.

The Young Frankenstein DVD is a great one for any collection. Not only is the movie a classic, but it's chock full of cool bonus features. Brooks' commentary is great, and the out-takes of Feldman's "turban" line (and Wilder's inability to not crack up) are hilarious.

Was Garr the lab assistant one? Definitely. I'll always choose the nerd girl, even if she isn't a major hottie. When she is a major hottie, well...

This thread is like making me choose between my right and left hand. Is not my love great enough for them both? I rest my case.

Heck, I'd still do her.

Terri always struck me as a bit dizzy and I'm afraid she might not actually be cognizant of the fact the two of us were copulating.

Madeline on the other hand would, I'm sure, keep looking down to observe the penetration and then stare deep into my eyes and launch a loud Tim Allen style "Haaaaargh haaaargh haaaargh!"

Madeline for 500 please Alex.

Oh Gawd, you mean I gotta choose?

Well, I guess I'll have to take Terri Garr, Alex. In "Young Frankenstein", any other movie, or even today. Rowrrrrr. . .

But I sure as hell wouldn't have kicked Madeline out of my bed for eatin' crackers. . .
