"Blucher" (as in Frau Blucher) is actually German for "glue", thus the horses' reaction.

Great family movie in black and white from the great film producer and actor Mel Brooks.

My kids love this movie, good family fun. Beware some minor sexual references and double entendres, but young kids won't get it, and older kids will laugh heartly once they get it. So no harm done, just laughs.

Fron-kon-steen: "Now that brain that you gave me. Was it Hans Delbruk's?" Eyegor: "No." Fron-kon-steen: "Ahh. Would you mind telling me whose brain I did put in?" Eye-gor: "And you won't be angry?" Fron-kon-steen: "I will not be angry." Eye-gor: "Abby...someone." Fron-kon-steen: "Abby someone. Abby who??" Eye-gor: "Abby...normal." Fron-kon-steen: "Abby normal." Eye-gor: "I'm almost sure that was the name." Fron-kon-steen: (chuckles) "Are you saying that I put an abnormal brain into a 7-&-a-half-foot long, 54-inch wide...(begins strangling Eye-gor) GORILLA?????? Is that what you're telling me?????"
