Blazing Saddles



Ribald, tasteless and hilarious … this classic spoof of the Western genre by director Mel Brooks pokes fun at everyone and everything. A corrupt governor grants a reprieve to an African American convict if the condemned man agrees to serve as sheriff of a small Western town, believing that new sheriff will only live long enough to serve the needs of the governor and his nefarious railroad-baron backer. Academy Award nominations for Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Madeline Kahn); Best Music, Original Song; and Best Film Editing.

The man actually put together a movie that nobody complained or bitched about all the slandering racism and bigotry was a very big part of this movie in a very very big part everyday life at the time the movie was released. He was able to take what was considered sort of a taboo and make it good make it funny so all of us every race every color could Mosey on down to the theaters sit down with a soda and popcorn next to a black man next to a white man next to the Red Man next to yellow man and watch a damn funny movie the funniest of all of this funny. We laughed together till we cried we laughed our no good asses off together color who you were and what you stood for meant nothing at that moment! So thank you Mel for showing us that we can laugh at each other and throw stones at each other even and still be brothers and friends and confidants equal in the eyes and heart of each other and more so equal in the eyes of Our Lord thanks thanks Mel you're a goddamn genius and thanks to all of you folks who know a damn funny movie when they see one I'm proud to call my sisters and brothers at least in movies LOL thank God I was born and raised in the time like I did I was because I wouldn't have it any other way!

  2. By the way…
    Richard Pryor worked/wrote on the Mongo part of the script, not the racial parts.
    He was so brilliant at comedy. Too bad he had so many real-life demons like so many comedians do.

  3. Friends and I saw this at a Drive-in when released. Glad we did because we ate Magic Mushrooms. We didn't know what we were in for except that it's Mel Brooks fun, and the shrooms just made us laugh out so much longer and louder.
    What gut hurting fun!
    I love this movie!
