Who is the antagonist and protagonist in mel brooks the producers?
Asked by Wiki User
Protagonist- Leo Bloom because he's the only character that changes his personality. He changes from a quiet accountant to a producer with courage, and is not afraid to take the girl and run to Rio.
Antagonist- Max Bialystock because although he might be the main character, his personality does not change. Max Bialystock isn't the antagonist because his personality never changed, he's the antagonist because he sold twenty-five thousand percent of Springtime for Hitler. Leo isn't really all that pure either--he WAS the one who came up with the idea of overselling a bad play. If you insisted you could probably justify calling Leo a protagonist, but he was up to his ears in the swindle too.

Was mel brooks in young Frankenstein?
Asked by Wiki User
Although we hear Mel Brooks' voice in this film, he never appears onscreen. The reason? He wasn't allowed! Per Mel, Gene Wilder agreed to play Dr. Frankenstein only if he (Mel) didn't appear in the movie. When asked why, Gene explained that he didn't want to be "constantly winking at the audience" (i.e. "breaking the fourth wall")...something that Mel has a huge tendency towards when he acts.
Incidentally, Mel had been planning to play the character that he now admits Marty Feldman was "born to play": Igor.

Did Anna Kreisling save Mel Brooks in Las Vegas?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes!! In 2010 Mel Brooks was opening a show in Las Vegas called," Springtime for Obama!" In this show President Bush and Obama would be telling jokes and talk about their adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan. The show was very depressing and pathetic. George W. Bush could not remember how the jokes went, he could not remember where Iraq was on the map and Obama was a terrible dancer! Mel Brooks told Anna Kreisling about his problems and she cheered him up by giving him some great ideas and $100 Million Dollars so he could really put on a spectacular show! Now when the curtain opens it shows a Junkers JU-390 FLYING OVER NEW YORK, and 327 hot Nazi Totsy Show girls come bailing out and parachute onto the stage! There Bill Clinton and George W. Bush and President Obama are there to do some snappy dancing and sing with the girls! The New York Times has called this show the most spectacular show ever seen on the planet!!

Why is there no sequel to Mel Brooks' 'History of the World Part 1?
Asked by Wiki User
- Mel Brooks probably didn't make a sequel because he never really planned to. The reference in the end of the first movie was just a joke. He was making fun of the all too common "sequel-itis."
- He named his movie "History of the World: Part 1" because, after doing previous movies, people always asked him what would he do next. So by naming this movie Part 1, people stopped disturbing Mel with stupid questions.
- Would you really go to a movie with a scene of a figure-skating Hitler?
- because mel brooks got lazy and couldn't be bothered making a sequel

On why it took so long to produce the sequel, Brooks has stated, "I really wanted to do this project before the Wayans Brothers got their hands on it and messed it up, and I needed the cash." Though this has prompted some critics to worry that Brooks is only cashing in on prior success, many fans on message /b/oards across the internet have responded positively. One such fan, identified only as "scroob71" on 5dibo.com, wrote, "I am so excited for this! Now all he has to do is make Spaceballs 2 and I can die happy, even if I am a 37 year old virgin!"

At press time, these was still no official word as to whether or not Brooks would be directing the film himself, but the IMDB page for the movie seems to indicate that this will be the case. Sources close to Brooks and Twentieth Century Fox also hinted that there would be an open casting call for many of the roles in the film, a process that would be the basis for a reality television series scheduled to run in the fall. Evidence for this will likely be dug up by The Smoking Gun.com as soon as they are done uncovering the seemingly infinite front companies of Sacha Baron Cohen.

Finally, Brooks denied rumors that he was set to make a cameo appearance in the forthcoming film World War Z, based on the novel of the same name by his son, Max. Brooks stated, "You're kidding me, right? I may be Jewish, but I'm not that broke!"
April Fool's from Dorkgasm.com!
This film will be the first true sequel to any of Brooks' films. His 1968 opus The Producers was remade as a musical with an all-gay cast in 2005, and he spearheaded a failed attempt to launch an animated version of Spaceballs in 2008 that had many children in test audiences stabbing out their own eyes. History of the World: Part II marks Brooks' first directoral efort since 1995's Dracula: Dead and Loving It.
Is Bernie Kaminsky related to Mel Brooks?

Mel Brooks was born Melvin Kaminsky, and has four children: Stephanie, Nicky, Eddie (by first wife Florence Baum) and Max (by second wife Anne Bancroft).
Bernie is listed as "executive producer" and "supervising producer" on several cable TV documentaries. Surprisingly, I could not find any other information about him, so his name MIGHT be like Alan Smithee.
