Detailed product description

Gucci-saddlebagged Sheriff Bart teams up with the drunken Waco Kid. Directed by Mel Brooks.

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 dimwitted 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!. Interactive Menus, Scene Selection. Director Commentary, Original Theatrical Trailer, Production Notes.

Reviewed in the USA on 2006-09-07T17:00:00

Despite some very funny bits like the (in)famous campfire scene, the cameo by Count Basie and Mongo punching the horse, I just can't rate this one higher than 2 1/2 stars. Too much of the movie drags, there isn't much in the way of a plot and there're way too many racial slurs (okay, we get the point, people were prejudiced then...but this is a movie that's supposed to be a comedy). And feel free to zap through Madeline Kahn's painfully bad attempt at being Marlene Dietrich. Also, the ending didn't really work. Whether Brooks was trying to be Ernie Kovacs or maybe Monty Python here (not sure if 1974 is too early for that), well, sight gags and fart jokes Mel Brooks can do. Not surrealism.
