Amazon.co.uk Review
Mel Brooks's 1981, three-part comedy--set in the Stone Age, the Roman Empire, and the French Revolution--is pure guilty pleasure. Narrated by Orson Welles and featuring a lot of famous faces in guest appearances (beyond the official cast), the film opens well with Sid Caesar playing a caveman, then moves along to the unlikely but somehow hilarious juxtaposition of Caesar's soldiers (the other Caesar, not Sid) with pot humour, and ends on a dumb-funny note in the French bloodbath. This is a take-it-or-leave-it movie, and it works best if you're in a take-it-or-leave-it mood. i--Tom Keogh/i

Timeless classic October 23, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I had totally forgotten about this film until I saw a clip on TV, so time to check it out again. I have to say, although I had not seen it for about 15 years, I forgot how timeless and funny this is. A parody on famous movies and times in history, with some suprisingly good effects for the time. For me, Mel Brooks can be quite hit and miss, but this film was a definate hit. Who else could do a musical number about the Spanish inquisition?
Incredibly funny, daft, inspired comedy September 22, 2008
This movie has a huge number of very funny moments. It's one of Mel Brooks' funniest films, and I laughed out loud during a great deal of this.
My Favorite Comedy Movie August 28, 2008
I have watched this movie as a kid and up till today (30 yrs old) its the best comedy movie i have ever watched
 stoopid but great fun September 23, 2007

This is not sophisticated comedy, but it takes real talent to make proper use of such terrible jokes - it's the way he tells 'em and give or take a very few gags so groanworthy that they do fall flat, it will keep you in stitches for 90 minutes, with highlights including the French Revolution and the great all-singing and dancing Spanish inquisition sequence. While many of Mel Brooks's regular collaborators are present, this film is a particular delight for British audiences due to having been filmed in the UK and featuring a wide range of British talent including Pamela Stephenson, Spike Milligan (as her father), John Hurt (as Jesus in a hilarious Last Supper gag) and many others. Definitely one of Mel Brooks's best.

Then you won't like this one much, will you, dear? Severely underrated spoof of the Hollywood epic is one of Mel Brooks' finest hours.
