Reviews:

sheriff murdered! People stampeded and cattle raped.
Quality. many people who love this film may feel that the negative comments from others are inoffensive as this is such a funny film, I will say this. They are entitled to their opinions …even if they are wrong. This is one of the best comedies ever made.

Firstly it’s not just Mel Brooks as scriptwriter which seems to make a big difference to the quality of the film he produces (Yung Frankestein is co-written by Gene Wilder) but then you have a cast in fine form, especially Harvey Corman as the fantastic Hedley Lamarr (Not Hedy, It’s Hedley!) add to that a fantastic series of sight gags and word play, with a good dose of racism ridicule thrown in for good measure (…and they is so DUMB!)and it all makes for a brilliant mix of inspired film-making.

There are numerous scenes of note, but the scene of the townsfolk looking at their work and Bart chasing after the bad guy still makes my skin cold as they are genuinely moving moments.

best visual gag though has got to be the Wako Kid versus the goons at the railroad top drawer Much Love Mike

Brilliant comedy and with a relentless barrage of jokes
The white residents of an old west frontier town are appointed a black sheriff.

Blazing Saddles is one of the all time great comedy feature films.

The plot is relatively thin but the amount of high quality gags per minute of the film is what makes it so good. Mel Brooks lampoons every western trope and makes a strong commentary on racism in America.

There is so much funny dialogue and sight gags it takes more than one viewing to fully absorb and appreciate.

It contains a number of great performances such as Gene Wilder, Cleavon Little, Slim Pickens and Madeline Khan. My favourite being Harvey Korman who is absolutely hilarious as chief antagonist Hedley Lamarr. Director Mel Brooks also has a number of cameos, the funniest being the Jewish Indian chief.

Some moments may struggle to resonate with a modern day audience. There are some quite bawdy sequences with women being objectified for the sake of ridiculing the male characters and also some scenes that could be interpreted as homophobic. Overall though, I think the humour works as well today as ever.

Blazing Saddles always makes me laugh and is a movie I never tire of watching. For me it falls just shy of perfect, so I rate it as a 9.5/10.
