    Let’s not.

    I love Mel Brooks movies, but they were groundbreaking for their time and after trying to watch History of the World Part II, I would rather just rewatch the older stuff.

      I don’t have high hopes either.

      Some things are very much products of their time, and you can’t reliably repeat what made that formula work as well as it did.

      Wait, there was one? At the time of watching Part 1 I thought it was a joke.

    I doubt any modern movie could come anywhere close to its brilliance. There’s too much Hollywood bureaucracy garbage dictating what will get made and what not. People like Weinstein destroying movies for personal gain or just because they can. And just garbage industry practices overall.
