History of the World - Part 1 (1981) (Mel Brooks, Harvey Korman)

HISTORY OF THE WORLD, PART 1 - 1981 Mel Brooks lampoon of various historical eras: The Stone Age" (featuring Sid Caesar) offers a nice parody of the "Dawn Of Man" sequence from Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968) ? while the brief but hilarious "The Old Testament" sees Brooks himself as Moses accidentally lose a third of God's original 15 Commandments! "The Roman Empire" ? the longest segment ? features Brooks veterans Dom De Luise and Madeleine Kahn, plus a wonderful conclusion involving John Hurt as Jesus Christ. "The Spanish Inquistion" is, again, brief but surely one of the film's highlights with its tastelessly inspired depiction of this infamous period as a Busby Berkeley-ish production number. "The French Revolution" highlights two established presences in Brooks' films, Harvey Korman and Cloris Leachman. Starring: Mel Brooks, Dom DeLuise, Madeline Kahn, Harvey Korman, Cloris Leachman, Gregory Hines, Sid Caesar, Shecky Greene. Directed by: Mel Brooks. Quality: Very Good Xvid from DVD. Length: 1hr. 32min. Language: English. Size: 720 x 336

Excuse the Negative Quality Numbers (at the upper right, just below the title) but we have an Uploader here at PirateBay who gets jealous everytime someone uploads a title he has uploaded, or wants to upload. So to retaliate he starts messing with the Quality numbers. Those numbers are there to help you the Downloader. But he is now making them useless. And mine aren't the only torrents he's messed with.
Thanks:

I don't know this movie at all, i just stumbled across it in youtube and had to download it. I'd just like to know why it says "Part 1" on it?

lareth2209:
From what I understand, Mel Brooks intended to continue the story up to present time in part 2, but got side tracked. Spaceballs, was actually supposed to be a segment in part 2 but grew into its own movie.
Thanks

Impressive collection of movies you have. Thanks for this one. I've seen it several times and still laugh when I see it.

I'd heard different versions of why it was called Part 1 - the one I heard most was that History never stops getting made so it was a joke that you could take different ways.
I've heard the other reasons people have already stated here about why this was called Part 1 as well.
There were always rumours there being a Part 2 - but it hasn't been made.
HOWEVER - in 2009 there was info released that stated Part 2 was finally going to be made. Mel's latest directorial role since Dracula, Dead and Loving It in 1995.
Is this true??
Naaaahh. ;-) Check the date on the reports if you find these claims people. They're all dated April the 1st. If you check out the IMDB page that claims to be Part 2 you get redirected to a film called April Fools Day. lol
Which makes me wonder - how did the guy who posted above me believe he's seen a film that hasn't been made and that it's not as good as Part 1??? :-S
I'm in the middle of downloading various stuff by Mel so I'm gonna get back to it... enjoy the film guys. :-) 'Tis a classic! :-)

Good rip, thanks.
As regards the movie, it's not as fun to watch today as Mel Brooks' "Blazing Saddles" or "Young Frankenstein". Those still generate hearty laughs. This one relies heavily on slapstick gags, which today come through as old and tired.

Looks good ! Thanx to the sharing community for creating/keeping a quality rip alive.....
