Synopsis

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 it 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!

Review

Brooks' uproarious comedy did wonders for making racism, sexism and bodily functions laughing matters. Richard Pryor helped script this scathing spoof of the Wild West. Kahn steals the show with her on-target Marlene Dietrich impersonation.

Favorite Line

"You will be risking your lives, whilst I will be risking an almost-certain Academy Award nomination for the Best Supporting Actor. " -- Harvey Korman as Hedley Lamarr
