you should watch Spaceballs, 'Robin Hood Men in tights' and 'History of the world part 1' all are parodies by Mell Brooks and funny as hell. Spaceballs is a parody of Star Wars the other names speak for themselves. Oh And there is no History part 2 after all it's a parody.

Kudos to you, NeonRabbit, for the brilliant pull of pop reference as it were from way, way, back. You beat me to the punch. The only thing I will add is that what makes Brook's genius with the Randolph Scott-bit in the screenplay more epic is one would have to appreciate just how much of an astonishingly bland & wooden actor Mr. Scott was. Let's just say Randolph was never in danger of getting cast in any plays of Shakespeare or Otto Preminger films. Knowing this and the adulation of the townsfolk, "...[gasp]...RANDOLPH SCOTT! 🎼🎵", makes it even more inspired. Comedic absurdity at its finest!

George Randolph Scott (January 23, 1898 - March 2, 1987) was an American film actor whose career spanned the years from 1928 to 1962. As a leading man for all but the first three years of his cinematic career, Scott appeared in a variety of genres, including social dramas, crime dramas, comedies, musicals (albeit in non-singing and non-dancing roles), adventure tales, war films, and a few horror and fantasy films. However, his most enduring image is that of the tall-in-the-saddle Western hero. Out of his more than 100 film appearances over 60 were in Westerns.[1] According to editor Edward Boscombe, "...Of all the major stars whose name was associated with the Western, Scott [was] most closely identified with it."[1]

They taught him to stumble and sway around during this part of the show, and also trained him to fall over similar to that shot in the movie. Smartest damn horse I ever saw, lol.

If you know your history, as Hitler realized it was over and he’d lost, he hid in his bunker then killed himself.

'They couldn't make that movie today.' Mel Brooks once said something along the lines of, 'we couldn't make it back then either' in an interview years later. The important thing to remember is that everyone who uses a racial slur is portrayed as either stupid and evil (all the villains), or just ignorant (the town folk, who learn better and come around to love Bart). In the end Mel Brooks didn't just parody westerns, he also made a very effective parody of racism. I was 11 or 12 when this movie came out, and because it was rated R I begged my mom to take me to go see it in the theater. We both laughed so much, I remember her almost falling out of her seat during the campfire scene, she was laughing so hard. It became a tradition for us to go see all the other Mel Brooks films together throughout the 70s, and Blazing Saddles remains one of my favorite memories.

The script was written by Mel Brooks and Richard Pryor, whom the studio did not want working on the film. So Mel Brooks didn't tell them until they were nearly finished. When Richard Pryor showed Mel Brooks the first draft, Mel said, "We can't say the N word!" And Richard said, "That's right WE can't say the N, but the bad guys can." Also the bit where Gene Wilder is giving a pep talk to Cleavon Little and Cleavon busts up, is because Gene made up the line and that was Cleavon's real reaction. As for why Cleavon Little didn't go on to greater success there were three main reasons: one was that he was bisexual, which was widely known in Hollywood at the time, and studios didn't want to cast Bi- or gay leads; his next few films did not perform very well, and he didn't want to accept roles in the Blacksploitation films that he was mainly offered in the 1970's. So he mostly did theater and TV.

It's "fought Dix", not "dicks". It's a play on words. Fought Dix sounds like Fort Dix, which is a U.S. Army post in New Jersey. The play on words is then continued with the next line that references Richard Dix who was a cowboy star of early film. So the joke is not exactly what you thought it was. And not surprisingly, there wasn't a flicker of recognition at the line "...this laurel, and hearty handshake", which was also an inside joke. It referred to the 1930s comedy team of Laurel and Hardy.

Fun to see young people react well to this but there are so many little things you can't be expected to catch - Hedley Lamarr, "the orange roof of Howard Johnson's outhouse", "a Laurel and Hardy handshake", and many more.

the greatest comic of all time richard pryor co-wrote the movie and mel brooks wanted him to play the sheriff but white hollywood didn't like richard so he suggested to brook to give the job to the guy who plays the sheriff since he was great friends with and had done a movie together about the 1st black nascar driver who won many nascar titles in the late 60's

There are a few reasons that this film has aged really well. Unfortunately one reason is that the satire against racism still hits because racism still exists. Not until people stop being racist will this film become irrelevant and start to age. Other reasons it's aged well are that slapstick is always funny, it is ageless, and with the film being so self aware it brings your audience right in to the world with you, so you can't not be a part of it. It makes fun of itself, but also has a message and a point to make. Love Mel Brooks, he has the title "genius" attached to him, and for very good reason! Young Frankenstein is definitely worth a watch! As is Robin Hood Men in Tights, especially if you have seen the Kevin Costner Robin Hood film.

Funny thing is he said he was going to act like Jessie Owens. In fact when this movie took place, he had not been born yet.

It's always amazing to me, how most of the younger crowd are "shocked" at the few times the oh-so evil n-word is used in Blazing Saddles, but yet don't bat an eye at how many times it was used in Tarentino's "The Hateful 8"

Im glad im not the only one that was initially worried about the horses. Theres like 3 or 4 scenes of horses falling over in this movie, and horses falling is dangerous af. But yeah, they did it safely somehow.

Hands down the best Blazing Saddles reaction on KZfaq by a country mile.

Rio Bravo is great, as is McClintock... both John Wayne vehicles, both hilarious, and both loaded with stars.

Mid 90's we would watch this at our high school football dinners the night before our game. Cant wait to watch.
