 Gene Wilder (qv) and Mel Brooks (I) (qv) got into only one fight  during the movies production, but it was a big one with Mel  throwing a huge temper tantrum, yelling and raging and eventually  storming out of the studio. Shortly thereafter, Gene received a  phone call from Mel, saying, "Who was that lunatic yelling and  screaming on the set today? You should fire that bum!"
