All These Years I Thought Harvey Korman was in Young Frankenstein

You got that movie mixed up with Blazing Saddles, is all.

And Gene Hackman's cameo as the hermit!

From the book "Young Frankenstein, the making of the film", by Mel Brooks:

Kenneth Mars’s Inspector Kemp, with his creaky wooden arm, was a takeoff on Lionel Atwill’s intense, one-armed inspector in the 1939 Son of Frankenstein. Kenny was great, but he could be crazy. Fortunately, I knew how to handle him. When we were making The Producers I kept begging him to keep the German accent, but make it hearable. Let us understand it. Because the gibberish, the audience couldn’t understand. During Young Frankenstein, when he says, “Ve had better confeerm duh fact that yunk Frankenstein is indeed vollowing in his grandvather’s vootsteps!” I have the entire village say, “What?!” so we got a joke out of Kenny’s impenetrable dialogue.

Kenny Mars was a made-in-heaven choice to play Inspector Kemp. The dartboard scene was so hilarious, I had to shoot it four times before the crew finally stopped laughing and we could get a usable take.

KENNETH MARS ON GETTING THE ROLE I was up in Buffalo, New York, doing a play in the winter, and the snow was up to my thigh, truly. And Mel called at half hour [before curtain], he said, “What are you doing in Buffalo?” I said, “Nome was too warm.” He says, “OK, OK. Listen. You’re wearing an eyepatch… and on top of the eye patch, on top of the eye patch you’ve got a monocle. Is that too much?” And I said, “No, Mel, that is not too much.” He says, “Good! You got the part!” And that’s how I got the part in Young Frankenstein.

“I Thought Harvey Korman was in Young Frankenstein”

R5 Why do you say that? Korman is a very talented actor.
