Chavez Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Kinda loses steam in the 3rd act, but up until then it's freakin' great. I read one "greatest guy movies" list that called BS "racist" - which is truly missing the point; it is either the FURTHEST thing from racist ever, or it's virulently racist towards white people.

Ursa Majoris Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 One of the most inspired pieces of comedy ever: Bart: Hold it! Next man makes a move, the ni**er gets it!Olson Johnson: Hold it, men. He's not bluffing. Dr. Sam Johnson: Listen to him, men, he's just crazy enough to do it! Bart: [lower register] Drop it! Or I swear I'll blow this ni**er's head all over this town! [higher register] Bart: Oh, lo'dy, lo'd, he's despit! Do what he sayyyy, do what he sayyyy... [the Johnsons drop their guns. Bart jams the gun into his neck and drags himself through the crowd and towards the station] Harriett Van Johnson: Isn't anybody going to help that poor man? Dr. Sam Johnson: Hush, Harriet, that's a sure way to get him killed! Bart: [higher register] Oooh! He'p me, he'p me! Somebody he'p me! He'p me! He'p me! He'p me! [lower register] Bart: Shut up! [bart places his hand over his own mouth, drags himself through the door into his office] Bart: Ooh, baby, you are so talented! And they are so DUMB! Just f'n brilliant.

SheikYerbuti Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Story about Blazing Saddles that I heard Mel Brooks tell in an interview a few years ago: So they showed the film to the studio execs, and they got a long list of things that had to be taken out. Mel refused and left everything in. . .except ONE small thing. In the original cut, when Lilly von Shtup is feeding Bart the schnitzengruben, she turns off the lights and the following dialogue takes place in darkness: Lilly: So, is it true what they say about your people? - silence - Lilly: Oh, it's true, it's TRUE!! Bart: Uh, you're sucking my arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy n Dirty Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 IMDB often has some pretty interesting trivia - here's what they have for Blazing Saddles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 One day in the Warner Bros. commissary, Mel Brooks and the other writers were seated at a table opposite John Wayne. The Duke turned and said he had heard about their Western, the one where people say stuff like "blow it out your ass". Mel handed The Duke a copy of the script and said, "Yes, and we'd like you to be in it." According to Brooks, the Duke turned down the offer the next day by saying, "Naw, I can't do a movie like that but I'll be first in line to see it!"
