Binding: VHS Tape EAN: 9780790757346 Edition: All-New documentary, "Back in the Saddle" Format: Color, Original recording remastered, Special Edition, NTSC ISBN: 0790757346 Label: Warner Home Video Languages: Manufacturer: Warner Home Video Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Warner Home Video Release Date: April 03, 2001 Running Time: 116 minutes Studio: Warner Home Video Theatrical Release Date: February 07, 1974 Editorial Review: 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 Amazon.com: 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.

 Rating:  - Top notch, amazingly good comedyThis is a fantastic film! It's incredibly funny, very rude and has some great performances! There are brilliant one liners, great setpieces and some wonderfully surreal humour. A first class comedy - a must see. Rating: - what's in a word???I am so sick of people using the words PC or NON PC to describe a piece of artistic expression...they are words created by the the standards and practices police who tell you what they think is acceptable.Yes Blazing Saddles uses the so called N-Word... it also uses many words offensive to many races... i notice many reviewers don't seem to notice the other words...that aside you need to recognize whose mouths these words are coming out of...ignorant frontier folk afraid of anything foreign...they ...

As an adult I watched it, found it boring and was offended by all the questionable race humor. I give it two stars because I remember a funny movie i loved as a kid. (he took hmself hostage hardy har har) otherwise I'd give it negative one star. Rating: - Blazing Saddles This is one of the best classic Films in Hollywood CA. It is VERY VERY FUNNY!!! You should own it on BLU-RAY DISC today. Rating:  - Candy Gram for MongoGreat! Along with The Producers and Young Frankenstein, Mel Brooks has made three of the all time funny movies. I remember seeing this when in was first released and the audience in the cinema were in hysterics of laughter throughout and today it still is a hoot.Great cast, crazy script(such as it is)and just a great vibe throughout combine to make a movie classic. Mel Brooks has tried many times to recreate the wackiness and great spoofery of Blazing Saddles and has never succeeded.What makes Blazing Saddles ... Read More |
