'''''Brain Donors''''' is a 1992 comedy film produced by [[Airplane!|David and Jerry Zucker]] and released by Paramount Pictures. It is a modern remake of the [[Marx Brothers]]' ''[[A Night at the Opera]]'', starring [[The Big Lebowski|John Turturro]], [[Not the Nine O'Clock News|Mel Smith]], and Bob Nelson as the [[Expy]] Marxes.
 
The plot begins when Lillian Oglethorpe uses the fortunes of her recently-deceased tycoon husband to start a ballet company in his name. Through some fast-talking shenanagins, [[Ambulance Chaser]] Roland T. Flakfizer (Turturro) is appointed director of the company, over Mr. Oglethorpe's attorney Edmund Lazlo. With the help of taxi driver Rocco Melonchek (Smith) and handyman Jacques (Nelson), Flakfizer tries to build up the company while pairing up star-crossed dancers Alan Grant and Lisa Le Baron. They are opposed by Lazlo's efforts to discredit Flakfizer and take control of the company for himself, while the egotistical international ballet star Roberto Volare has his own eyes on Lisa.
