Sometime in highschool or college, I bought the "Original Script". It was a "photocopied" book but included hand witten notes (I'll bite your knees off!"). And whole sections they were not filmed. A section to do with archers.
Needless to say...we were nerds. It took Princess Bride to create another movie that was as quotable.
I'd say Mel Brooks created movies of equal. But they are different. They are "American". Nothing wrong with that, but the humor is different. I love them both, in different ways. Most of these movies could not be made today.
