 FLASHBACK: Mel Brooks Chinese Theatre Hand Print Ceremony - Sept 8, 2014 

I posted a couple of photos from this event before, but here are some more. 

Mel was receiving this honor for the 40th Anniversary of 'Young Frankenstein'. 

In the future people are going to assume these photos are AI, can you spot why?  

 

In classic form, Mel pulled a prank on the Chinese Theatre and for all of his fans who will visit the theater and put their hands into Mel's hand prints... 

Have you noticed it yet? 

Mel had an extra finger attached by a makeup effects artist, so that his hand prints will continue to surprise fans and get laughs for the rest of time.

Happy 99th Birthday Mel Brooks!

Mel Brooks pulls a prank at his TCL Chinese Theatre Handprint Ceremony, Sept, 8th, 2014.
How fast can you spot it?

 

It was an honor to get to cover this event honoring Mel Brooks, and what a brilliant prank to pull. I can only imagine how many people will be perplexed for centuries to come when they place their own hands in his prints and notice something is off.
