- a.k.a. Mel Brooks' verrückte Geschichte der Welt theatrical title
Die Weltgeschichte als bunter Reigen von ihren Anfängen bis zur Zukunft, wobei konsequent mit bislang herrschenden falschen Vorstellungen aufgeräumt wird: zeitgenössische Kritik an Höhlenmalerei in der Steinzeit, Moses ungeschickter Umgang mit den Gebotstafeln, der erste Auftritt des Stand-up-Philosophen Comicus in Caesars Palast, die Wahrheit über das letzte Abendmahl, die spanische Inquisition als Musical-Nummer und obszöne Spielchen zur Zeit der Französischen Revolution.
French (Français)
- a.k.a. La folle histoire du Monde
En plusieurs tableaux délirants, le cinéaste Mel Brooks revisite l’Histoire du monde à sa façon toute personnelle. On voyage d’abord dans l’aube de l’humanité, avant d’arriver à l’âge de pierre, en passant par la Cène. C’est ensuite Torquemada et l’Inquisition qui sont mises en boîte. Un spectaculaire bond en avant nous amène un peu plus tard, en pleine Révolution française…
