Amazon.com essential video
Mel Brooks scored his first commercial hit with this raucous Western spoof starring the late Cleavon Little as the newly hired (and conspicuously black) sheriff of Rock Ridge. Sheriff Bart teams up with deputy Jim (Gene Wilder) to foil the railroad-building scheme of the nefarious Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman). The simple plot is just an excuse for a steady stream of gags, many of them unabashedly tasteless, that Brooks and his wacky cast pull off with side-splitting success. The humor is so juvenile and crude that you just have to surrender to it; highlights abound, from the lunkheaded Alex Karras as the ox-riding Mongo to Madeline Kahn's uproarious send-up of Marlene Dietrich as saloon songstress Lili Von Shtupp. Adding to the comedic excess is the infamous campfire scene involving a bunch of hungry cowboys, heaping servings of baked beans and, well, you get the idea. --Jeff Shannon

 Still the King of Farce March 17, 2010
Rosemarie Rauzino-Heller (D.C. area)
Mel Brooks is still the undisputed King of Farce. This movie is still the leading exponent of truly outrageous farce. With his fabulous cast (Madeline Kahn, Harvey Korman and Cleavon Little, Brooks hit upon every prejudice, foible and behavior of the '70s, and made mincemeat of them. Nothing subtle about it, but that's the point of farce. A classic to own.
 A More Crude Version of Men In Tights March 7, 2010
Scott (Texas)
I've seen a few Mel Brooks movies, so I'm a bit familiar with his style. It's always silly, but in a way that works. Blazing Saddles is no exception. It's about as funny as Robin Hood Men in Tights, which is a good thing, but it's really nasty in a lot of places, especially with regards to racism. Still, Blazing Saddles probably does paint an accurate picture of how harsh racism was back in the late 1800's, even though I'm sure that's not what Mel Brooks was aiming for when he donned the jacket with "GOV" written on the back and crossed his eyes as he prepared for his small role here.
Classy February 27, 2010
Steven (NYC)
What a crazy movie, seen it so many times but I still bought the DVD. But now that I have it I havent even taken it out of the dvd. how ironic.
 Tasteless and lame comedy à la Family Guy February 20, 2010

Racism, sexism. Every ism thrown together so as to almost induce vomiting. I heard before watching that this movie was "politically incorrect". That is not the half of it! This is clearly only meant for the enjoyment of white men who have no sense of social equality or for the brainless of any race or sex, i.e. the kind of people who enjoy watching Family Guy.
If you want a silly but clever Western spoof, watch the Paleface
