| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullSadly, Brooks manages to hack it up like he did to poor Robin Hood, thanks to some very stale jokes and overly repetitious gags. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperIt is a sad state when all the best aspects of a Mel Brooks comedy have little to do with the humor. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergThis anemic farce came from the mad-genius creator of "Young Frankenstein"? |
| San Francisco ExaminerBarbara ShulgasserWhen so many of the jokes refer to old movie stars and the often hilarious conventions of movies from the 1930s and '40s, they fly over the heads of a major segment of today's movie-going population. |
| 7M PicturesKevin CarrAnother Mel Brooks stinker late in his career. |

| rec.arts.movies.reviewsDragan AntulovThere isn't any sight sadder than the old champion being unaware that his time has passed away. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonThis time, unfortunately, he's sucking on a dry vein. |
| CinematterMadeleine WilliamsSlow and unfunny spoof on everyone's favorite bloodsucker. |
