Summary Fifty years ago, the Gene Wilder-led Young Frankenstein defined the hallmarks of the modern legacy sequel. In modern film, there have plenty of legacy sequels that expand on previous film universes by introducing new generations of heroes. Beyond direct sequels like Candyman and Top Gun: Maverick, franchises like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Ghostbusters, Scream, and Halloween have used the concept to set up new characters — often with direct ties to previous heroes and villains.
How Young Frankenstein Defined The Legacy Sequel Young Frankenstein Honors The Original Frankenstein In Several Big Ways Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein may be one of the earliest examples of the Legacy Sequel as a concept in film, and had a crucial strength that other similar movies should try to replicate.
Young Frankenstein predates all those films, however, and follows the kind of arc that can be seen in many modern legacy films. There's a reverence for the prior films that still makes room for subversion and exploration. The younger versions of the older archetypes bring a unique energy to the story that still feels connected to the original. This allows Young Frankenstein to work as a continuation of the original franchise, while still feeling like a stand-alone story.
