About this product

Product Information

A madcap spoof of the classic Hollywood Western, BLAZING SADDLES is also one of the most gleefully anti-P.C. films ever produced by a major studio. When the sheriff of a small frontier town is killed, convict Bart (Cleavon Little) is appointed the first black sheriff of all-white Rock Ridge by the evil Hedley Lamarr (Harvey Korman), who hopes this will chase the townspeople from their homes. The naive Sheriff Bart soon catches on, realizing from the less than cheery welcome that the townspeople (who all seem to be named Johnson) aren't prepared for a black sheriff and that he was never meant to succeed at all. Enlisting the help of the sensitive town drunk (Gene Wilder), formerly the Waco Kid, Bart embarks on a plan to save Rock Ridge. A scathing spoof that deals with racism, sexism, and bodily functions, BLAZING SADDLES offers a contrast between picture and words that is shocking, subversive, and hilarious. Director Mel Brooks makes two memorable appearances--as both the sleazy governor and a Yiddish-speaking Sioux Indian chief--while Madeline Kahn does a sidesplitting Marlene Dietrich imitation as the town floozy. Featuring fabulous comic turns by Alex Karras and Slim Pickens, BLAZING SADDLES is raunchy, lovable, and uproarious.

    Leaves nobody out

    A breath of fresh air in this world of political correctness. This movie came from a time when people in general had more sense, thicker skin and would laugh at themselves. It pokes a finger at everyone, every stereotype, every race, religion, lifestyle. Very funny and VERY harmless. One of the best comedy movies of all time. A classic.

    The saddles did blaze...blue!

    After the passing of Mel Brooks, I wanted to revisit some of the Mel Brooks movies. I watched Blazing Saddles years ago but didn't remember much about it. It was fun to see many of the "old stars" I had grown up watching. I had not remembered, however, how suggestive many of the Mel Brooks movies were and Blazing Saddles was no exception. The saddles were blazing with sexual innuendos and all kinds of other inferences (some not so implied but expressed outright). I did not find it to be as humorous as I had remembered. The movie has not changed, but evidently, I have. After watching it once, we got rid of it. The saddles will not be blazing on our tv again. I think it sad that Mel Brooks had the genius to produce funny yet clean movies...but evidently that wasn't what would sell.

  • One of the best movies ever!

    Blazing Saddles is a classic Mel Brooks film. So many great one-liners! When taken with a sense of humor and poking good-hearted fun at all types of people, it's a really funny movie.

  • Dark humor comedy, warm-hearted cast.

    A true classic that may go extinct in this day and age. Glad I got my hands on a quality copy to watch every once in awhile (In private, of course).

  • Politically incorrect but very funny!

    In the context of 2022, this movie is a bit shocking in terms of the racially insensitive language. If you're easily offended, don't bother. If not, enjoy the madness!
