I took out the following paragraph:

Although this film is has some amusing sequences and a fun opening number written by Mel Brooks, it is considered by fans of the novel to be a very poor and embarrassing adaptation that doesn't capture its Soviet satirical flair, or the bleakness and earnest social criticism in its humor.

I took it out because it is original research since it is not a quote from a prestigious magazine or author or anyone of note. Or, if it is, that is not indicated anywhere. Qaz 01:51, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Bender claims it is Dostoyevsky that suffered from epilepsy and not Lenin. he calls the crowd to help the poor soul Vorobyaninov because he is suffering from that same illness. Not incorrect 11:48, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] discrepancies

"...only after perpetrating plenty of cons to pay for the lengthy enterprise..." This is taken from the article on the story but doesn't really apply to the events in the film - only once in the film do they perpetrate a con to raise money (otherwise they never have any)

"The two hide in the building until after closing..." In the film they leave and reenter the building through the window after closing time. Gr8white (talk) 03:19, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
