Amazon.com essential video
Mel Brooks scored his first commercial hit with this raucous Western spoof starring the late Cleavon Little as the newly hired (and conspicuously black) sheriff of Rock Ridge. Sheriff Bart teams up with deputy Jim (Gene Wilder) to foil the railroad-building scheme of the nefarious Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman). The simple plot is just an excuse for a steady stream of gags, many of them unabashedly tasteless, that Brooks and his wacky cast pull off with side-splitting success. The humor is so juvenile and crude that you just have to surrender to it; highlights abound, from the lunkheaded Alex Karras as the ox-riding Mongo to Madeline Kahn's uproarious send-up of Marlene Dietrich as saloon songstress Lili Von Shtupp. Adding to the comedic excess is the infamous campfire scene involving a bunch of hungry cowboys, heaping servings of baked beans and, well, you get the idea. --Jeff Shannon

Product Description
The railroad's got to run through the town of Rock Ridge. How do you drive out the townfolk in order to steal their land? Send in the toughest gang you've got...and name a new sheriff who'll last about 24 hours. But that's not really the plot of Blazing Saddles just the pretext. Once Mel Brooks' lunatic film many call his best gets started logic is lost in a blizzard of gags jokes quips puns howlers growlers and outrageous assaults upon good taste or any taste at all. Cleavon Little as the new lawman Gene Wilder as the wacko Waco Kid Brooks himself as a dim-witted politico and Madeline Kahn in her Marlene Dietrich send-up that earned an Academy Award nomination all give this sagebrush saga their lunatic best. And when Blazing Saddles can't contain itself at the finale it just proves the Old West will never be the same!Running Time: 93 min.System Requirements:Running Time: 93 MinutesFormat: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: COMEDY Rating: R UPC: 012569828384 Manufacturer No: 82838

Top notch, amazingly good comedy September 22, 2008
This is a fantastic film! It's incredibly funny, very rude and has some great performances!

There are brilliant one liners, great setpieces and some wonderfully surreal humour.

A first class comedy - a must see.

what's in a word??? September 20, 2008
I am so sick of people using the words PC or NON PC to describe a piece of artistic expression...they are words created by the the standards and practices police who tell you what they think is acceptable.Yes Blazing Saddles uses the so called N-Word... it also uses many words offensive to many races... i notice many reviewers don't seem to notice the other words...that aside you need to recognize whose mouths these words are coming out of...ignorant frontier folk afraid of anything foreign...they are not children...they are not completely off the mark in their portrayal of the ignorance and bigotry that was pervasive in ,well, most of US history.If you have a problem with the "fictional" racism in this movie perhaps you should go to a library and read the books about sacco and vanzetti or the plight of native americans swindled and practically killed off...When one of the characters says"dock that Ch--- a days pay" his savagery is like a punch in the stomach it makes you uncomfortable AND IT SHOULD!!! or when the elderly lady tells sheriff bart "up yours' N-----" when all he is doing is wishing her good day ...his pain is tangible because even someone who should be more wise than most degrades him... This
parody is light reading compared to the real thing...there are many many funny moments in this movie ...but remember this is not just a parody of western movies,,,it is a parody of american history...not normally a subject of hilarity due to it's many painful chapters for many races...
If you can't handle the truth mixed with humourous intelligent observations about racism and stereotyping perhaps you should stay away...p.s. to all those who say this not for young ones..i say that if you want your child to have a better view of what ignorance really is have them watch this movie and explain to them that the views of the racist characters are wrong...children don't need to be protected they need to be educated and schools don't cut it when it comes to enlightenment

tried to watch it again after a long time. September 5, 2008
As a little kid, I loved this movie. All the cartoonish candygram for Mongo schtick and the farting cowboys. As an adult I watched it, found it boring and was offended by all the questionable race humor.

I give it two stars because I remember a funny movie i loved as a kid. (he took hmself hostage hardy har har) otherwise I'd give it negative one star.

Candy Gram for Mongo August 29, 2008
Great! Along with The Producers and Young Frankenstein, Mel Brooks has made three of the all time funny movies. I remember seeing this when in was first released and the audience in the cinema were in hysterics of laughter throughout and today it still is a hoot.Great cast, crazy script(such as it is)and just a great vibe throughout combine to make a movie classic. Mel Brooks has tried many times to recreate the wackiness and great spoofery of Blazing Saddles and has never succeeded.What makes Blazing Saddles so good is that he went for it 100% and was inspired. Most of his movies since have been merely crude and boring.
