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!

Blazing Saddles DVD (Multi-region)
Found this widescreen (letterbox) version to be a multi-region disc, (not just Region 1 as advertised) with no embedded copyright protection.Subtitles both English and Spanish available.Full of extra's on same single disc, i.e.: deleted scenes, Pilot Episode /spin-off 'Black Bart'..Various versions of the same film on sale within Amazon, so do some research before buying.

Movie genius
This is one of my favourite films of all times. Mel Brookes is a genius, he has the midas touch whatever he touches is pure gold

True Classic
Want to see a movie that could never be made today, then this is it. This movie offends almost every nationality and is hilarious.A true classic but, if you're easily offended, stick with something else.

A classic movie
This movie probably could not have been produced in today's politically correct era. I consider it to be Mel Brooks finest movie accomplishment among his many other highly entertaining productions.

Mel Brooks Western Parody
Even as a Mel Brooks fan, this film does fall flat at several times. Nothing as good as History of the world or Young Frankeshtein.
