Blazing Saddles is one of the colossal comedies of all time. Unfortunately, it’s likely that no major studio today would release it. South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, Something About Mary and American Pie (all hilarious movies which I would highly recommend, by the procedure) bear toilet humor that makes Mel Brooks at his most graphic seem like a Disney movie in comparison. However, today’s politically upright Hollywood would be insecure with a comedy that uses racial epithets left and accurate, worrying about the backlash that subject matter would cause.
This is too dreadful because Blazing Saddles shows that such language, given the factual context, can actually combat bigotry by showing how dull it really is. Cleavon Exiguous, as Sheriff Bart, and Gene Wilder, as The Waco Kid, are presented as islands of sanity in a sea of ignorant, racist townspeople. The ‘n’ word is thrown out repeatedly, but is intended as an insult to the people who say it rather than a slur against blacks. Mel Brooks, a very liberal Democrat, recognized that racism is offensive and noxious in nature and showed it in its honest light in Blazing Saddles. As a result, the film does more to ridicule racism and bigotry than most serious “message films” on the same subject ever could.
Unfortunately, the corporate suits who now urge the gargantuan studios are more horrified about image and profits than producing quality movies. As long as a film offends as few people as possible and appeals to as many members of the general public as possible (preferably between the ages of 18 and 35), the executives like it — even if the film has no originality or artistic merit at all. As a result, films like Blazing Saddles and TV shows like All in the Family are taboo these days. Hollywood has lost a lot of doughty and courage since 1974. Ogle Blazing Saddles and you will realize objective how great.
“…of view cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.” Thus spoke Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman), the Region Procurer, Attorney General and Assistant to the Governor as he plotted against the residents of Rock Ridge in Mel Brooks’ hilarious western spoof “Blazing Saddles”, which was first released to theaters in 1974. With the meager budget of only $2.6-million, the film grossed over $119.5-million, making it the highest grossing western of all time until the release of “Dances with Wolves” in 1990, which grossed over $184-million. The success of “Blazing Saddles” is attributable in titanic piece to the great direction and writing (in conjunction with several other writers) of Mel Brooks, who (of course) also acted in the film in three separate roles: as Gov. William J. LePetomaine, an Indian chief and a World War I aviator. Equally principal are the many very talented comedic actors who brought the film to life.

The situation of “Blazing Saddles”, as I eluded to in my review opening, takes situation primarily in the fictional old-west town of Rock Ridge, whose residents seemingly all have the same last name and who have been mercilessly besieged by a group of thugs who are lead by a man named Taggart (Slim Pickens, 1919-1983) . After the thugs end the sheriff of Rock Ridge, the residents send an urgent plea to Gov. LePetomaine to immediately appoint a unique sheriff. Gov. LePetomaine delegates the appointment to his assistant Hedley Lamarr, whose wrong secret agenda is the destruction of Rock Ridge to get scheme for a current railroad line. Lamarr devises what he believes will be the final, unconscionable inducement to the residents of Rock Ridge for them to vacate: the appointment of a dismal sheriff, Dim Bart (Cleavon Exiguous, 1939-1992) . Most of the residents of Rock Ridge are aghast when Sheriff Bart rides into town. However, he lickety-split acquires a sidekick in Jim ‘The Waco Kid’ (Gene Wilder) and some unsolicited attentions from the heavily accented visiting stage performer Lili Von Shtupp (Madeline Kahn, 1942-1999), whose passions include the consumption of schnitzengruben. The fable continues to entertain as it builds to a climax that only the hooked comedic genius of Mel Brooks could devise. Also, in classic Mel Brooks fashion, the film includes several musical interludes that include the film’s title song (sung by Frankie Laine), “The Ballad of Rock Ridge”, “I’m Tired” (sung by Madeline Kahn), “The French Mistake” and “April in Paris”. Other memorable characters include Olson Johnson (David Huddleston), Rev. Johnson (Liam Dunn, 1916-1976), Mongo (Alex Karras in his first big-screen role), Howard Johnson (John Hillerman), Van Johnson (George Furth), Gabby Johnson (Jack Starrett, 1936-1989), Harriett Johnson (Carol DeLuise, a.k.a. Carol Arthur), Dr. Sam Johnson (Richard Collier, 1919-2000), Buddy Bizarre (Dom DeLuise) and a cameo by Count Basie (1904-1984) . There were also several brief uncredited appearances by Anne Bancroft, Gilda Radner (1946-1989) and Rodney Allen Rippy who played Bart at age 5.
Overall, I rate “Blazing Saddles” with a resounding 5 out of 5 stars. It is a hysterically amusing film that I can highly recommend to everyone. Though none of Mel Brooks’ other films were as financially successful as “Blazing Saddles”, many are remarkable of mention, including “The Producers” (1968), “Young Frankenstein” (1974), “High Fear” (1978), “The History of the World, Section 1″ (1981) and “Spaceballs” (1987) .
