Gene Wilder's delivery on "Little bastard shot me in the ass." gets me every time. Another little scene that I love is the look on Bart's face when Jim says, "No no don't do that...don't do that, if you shoot him you'll just make him mad."

My ALL-TIME favorite, don't care what anybody say, written by Richard Pryor and Mel Brooks did a great job. Studio cited Richard's drug use and said he was uninsurable and refused financing, also Brooks originally wanted John Wayne as Waco Kid, but he declined, good thing, Gene was so much better. Also Pryor told Brooks the N words had to be in it or else he felt it wouldn't be a realistic funny movie.

Back then, that would be a LOT of money. That much wouldn't just get you a High Class hooker, but a TOP TIER hooker!" And your "Mongo only pawn" Joke = always makes me think, "Huh?

[@AutoPilate]

They had great chemistry, like the scene where Bart whispers in Jim’s ear about the tollbooth plan and Jim’s reaction to it. Such a little thing but it made it feel so real. Kind of makes you wonder how the Wilder-Pryor movies would have been with Cleavon Little.

[@valkyrie1066]

[@BunBun299]

My favorite bit; "Where you going?" "No where special." "No where special, huh? Always wanted to go there." Just an exchange I've always liked. The whole movie is gold, of course.

[@Damien_Paxton]

This movie was written by Richard Pryor and Mel Brooks. The studio cited Richard's drug use and said he was uninsurable and refused financing, also Brooks originally wanted John Wayne as The Waco Kid, but he declined, good thing too as Gene was so much better. Also Pryor told Brooks that the N words had to be included in the film or else he felt it wouldn't be a realistically funny movie. Trivia: When this movie aired on television the farts in the “campfire scene” were censored. Trivia: Richard Pryor was originally going to play the role of sherif but due to some arrests the studio thought he wasn’t insurable. If he had, it would have been Richard Pryor & Gene Wilder’s first onscreen team up. 14:37 The horse was trained to turn its head and fall down (react to the punch) when the rider (its trainer) pulled on the reins. No actual harm done.

Fun fact: Frankie Laine, who created a song that you hear at the beginning of the movie, was not told that the movie is a slapstick comedy/satire. That's why he poured his entire heart in this song.. When they ended recording this song in studio, Frankie laine thanked mel brooks, with tears in his eyes, " for being given the chance to record something so pure and inspiring". And Mel brooks couldn't bring himself to tell this man that it was for a joke.

[@mevb]

He found about it later though but liked it.

My favorite joke was the only one Mel Brooks chose to take out of the script for obvious reasons. The scene with Bart and Lili in her dressing room where she's saying "it's true, it's true" fades to black after she says the line. But in the original script after she says it Bart says to her "I hate to disappoint you ma'am, but you're sucking on my arm".

God I love this movie. I remember back in 2000 for our high school senior project in English my best friend and I had to research a topic with relevance to our area and present it to our class, and extremely long story short our topic ended up being assigned to us since our original idea didn't work out. We ended up with How the 1849 California Gold Rush affected our local area in Ohio and we had about a quarter of the time to work on it since we had to start so late. About 2 days before it was due and needing 20 minutes for presentation and a 20 minute video, all we had to show was an 8 minute video and 0 to present, though we'd shot some comedic skits with buddies as filler for our video _(think In Living Color interview skits with Jim Carrey in the background, that's what we ended up doing.)_ With *maybe* a day left I got the genius idea to add the entire campfire scene from Blazing Saddles into our video because it actually segued nearly *PERFECTLY* between some scenes we'd shot, giving us like a 10 minute movie. Between that video and my world class BS skills of turning a zero-preparation presentation into a 60 minute long Q&A involving the whole class we scored an A on our project. I remember our teacher and the librarian watching in the background both trying to hold back their laughter when the campfire scene came up and I'm convinced it pushed our grade up. In a very real way... Mel Brooks probably helped me graduate high school 🤣

I love watching reaction videos to this movie and the both of you have the best I have seen so far. The only thing I get disappointed in when I watch reactions to Blazing Saddles is no one shows any of the extended scenes of Mongo vs. Bart. This movie played with my head for years because, growing up, when it was shown on television, they had several extra scenes. Later on, those scenes were dropped and left out of every release until the 30th anniversary edition. Imagine watching those scenes and then never seeing them again for decades. People thought I was confused.

YAAAAS! Nightwish!

I can’t imagine the atmosphere in the theaters when this film first came out.

I LOVE the authentic frontier gibberish bit :D. And god bless Harvey Korman (from the Carol Burnett show and another Brooks movie). He's just this GREAT comedian that doesn't really get brought up anymore... him AND others... and it's a dang shame cause he was killin' it back in the day!

Alex was a retired NFL football player at the time of this flick. He is a large man. I can only imagine what he looked like in his younger days. So many one liners. I am like you young lady in that every time I watch this there is something new.

Love this movie and yes it is probably one of the few movies from that era that is just timeless and funny every time you watch it, Mel was a genius not only in writing and producing, but casting, even when it was himself. One of my favorite Gene Wilder movies is The Frisco Kid with Harrison Ford. Way underrated and I couldn't find a single react video to it. Also, while I am sure you've seen it, Haunted Honeymoon is another great Wilder flick. Kudos on the Nightwish swag, big Floor fan! Keep up the good work! Love your reactions! :)

Another great reaction: we here in Memphis loved that cold week, too. What I find amazing is that Gabby Johnson (frontier gibberish) is played by the same actor that was the evil Galt in First Blood.

Loved it in 1974 and still love it today. I grew up watching westerns every Saturday afternoon. So I recognized many of the western parodies as well as the "racists are stupid and incompetent." I also immediately recognized Count Basie and that impressed me.
