In the next shot inside the bathroom you can see the boom microphone from the top of the screen. 3863 Madeline Kahn and Mel Brooks are in a hotel room in San Francisco. She is smoking a cigarette which grows shorter as the scene progresses. After cutting away and then back to her, the cigarette is long again. 10251 In the scene where Mel Brooks is singing the song "High Anxiety" to a bunch of people in a dinner room. Near the end of the song he sings almost 2 words and his mouth is clearly not moving. 79748 Mel jumps over a step that he senses to be weak. The step he actually jumps onto (and collapses) has been pre-cut in a zig-zag pattern. 32872 In the scene where the doctors are trying to save the patient from being killed, Mel Brooks runs up a long flight of steps in the clock tower. But, during his climb, he saw that there was a step which was cracked, so he avoided it by jumping over it. When he landed on the step above it, he fell through. While he was dangling from a step, you can see that the one that he jumped over is no longer cracked.
