BLAZING SADDLES 1974 | Movie Reaction FIRST TIME WATCHING | ONE OF THE GREATEST COMEDIES!

[@cpmf2112]

Mel Brooks was never mean-spirited or cruel and that is the biggest difference between then and now.

[@isaacgabriel4875]

This is what you get when the arguably greatest Jewish comedy director teams up with Richard Pryor to mock the moronic culture of racism, in a time period when you could get away with a lot in film making. It was perfect storm, in the best possible way.

[@alanhandleman6513]

"A bombardment of absolute absurdities" very aptly describes this film. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@XDarkSyntaXOriginal]

Richard Pryor was one of five writers who worked on Mel Brooks's 1974 western comedy Blazing Saddles, and he was Brooks's original choice for the lead role. Cleavon Little did an amazing job here.

[@DavidStebbins]

The thing to remember about all the racial slurs is that everyone who uses them is portrayed as either evil and stupid (all the villains), or just ignorant (the townsfolk, who grow to learn better and eventually come to love Bart). Mel Brooks didn't just make a parody of Westerns, he also made a hilarious parody of racism. Years later in an interview, when asked to comment about no one being able to make a movie like that today, Mel Brooks said, "We couldn't make a movie like that back then!" Studio executives tried to kill the movie when shown a copy of the finished product, so Brooks set up a screening for the studio workers and when the execs saw how hilarious everyone found it they agreed to an extremely limited release. It was so popular the scope of the release kept increasing until it was nation wide.

You mentioned this movie couldn't be made in any way today. When interviewed about the movie and asked about that Mel said it couldn't be made when it was made. The studio execs kept telling him to remove this or that. He would tell them he agreed, then ignore what they said.

[@EntertainmentFan11]

Just shows how confident he is that people will love the scenes he was asked to remove, but still, with all the hate crimes lately, this movie most likely wouldn't have been made in modern times.

[@cypher515]

@@EntertainmentFan11 I think the only thing that makes this movie impossible to make as is, is that _the_ word, as it is, cannot be used comedically out of the mouths of non-black people. Though I once said that maybe you could get away with it if that word is only in the mouths of people we're never meant to sympathize with and stays out of the mouths of the townspeople. However, this is the one time I'll agree that with any other word used, it's not the same movie. (As opposed to someone claiming Pulp Fiction is ruined entirely, by Jimmy not being able to say "Dead N----- Storage".)

1. Mel Brooks plays the Governor, Indian Chief and one of the round-up guys. 2. The "... you know morons" was ad lib and Little's response is real 🤣 3. Wilder agreed to do this movie only if Mel agreed to direct and help write "Young Frankenstein". 4. Richard Pryor was supposed to play Bart but he was going through the drugs issues and they decided to have him do some of the writing.

[@ClaudeYoung]

Fun fact to add on what you brilliantly pointed out, Pryor ended up writing most if not all of the Mongo material.

[@TheFrugalVideoGamer]

Cleavon Little as Sheriff Bart is basically Bugs Bunny in human form - and Brooks *did* cut one joke from the final product, as Lily Von Scthup's "It's TWUE!" was originally going to be met with "Madam, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but you are sucking on my *elbow!"* And for another rapid-fire comedy, I'd recommend "Clue", an adaptation of the boardgame.

This was mostly written by Richard Pryor, which explains how confident they are using that language. He was supposed to play the Sherriff, but this was after he nearly died doing drugs which made him was uninsurable. Mel Brooks couldn't get funding if Richard was starring.

[@MrMbws]

Only partially, but not mostly. While his drug use made the studio execs nervous, and they forbade him being the star, his near death from drug use was a decade later.

[@UnclePengy]

Brooks brought Pryor in to help write it, but Pryor actually declined to write anything but Mongo's part. Most of it was written by Brooks, based on a story by Andrew Bergman.

[@SighDontWantAHandle]

@@UnclePengy Had no idea. They sure used Pryor's name to hype up the movie considering his contribution

[@UnclePengy]

@@SighDontWantAHandle it was definitely a big selling point to have him in the list of writers. I think Brooks originally wanted him to play Bart but he wasn't interested in that part either.

[@MrMbws]

@@UnclePengy It was the studio that said no to him playing Bart. Wilder was also not the original Waco Kid. That was Gig Young, but he really was a major alcoholic, and got sick on the set. Mel called Gene and asked him to do it, but Gene only agreed if Mel would direct a little project he was developing called, "Young Frankenstein."

[@jamestdawson]

Farcical sociopolitical comedy was very common at the time. Mel Brooks simply took it to a new level. Check out everything from Monty Python to Firesign Theater. I watched this for the first time with a group of friends, two of which dropped acid. The rest of the theater were students from a local specialty high school that focused on the deaf and blind. In this case, they were all deaf. Their positive reaction to the film was as wonderful as it was bizarre at first to watch.

Mel Brooks, the director, played the governor and the Indian Chief. Alex Karras, who played, Mongo, was a professional football player, turned actor. He also played the father on the TV show, Webster. Burton Gillium, who played the cowboy in the black vest that wanted the workers to sing, was a pretty good boxer in the Coast Guard and later worked as a referee in professional fights. I've seen this film a ridiculous number of times!

[@zenonorth1193]

The part where they meet at midnight was great. After civil war. 40 acres and a mule were a false promise to slaves.

The towns leaders were all johnsons. I went to Minniaplois in 84. 20% of phonebook was johnsons ,johnstons, and other variations. On tv since 71 you had a jewish guy on tv who was using a comedey to tackle issues never before on tv. Racism, poverty, the vietnam war. Womens rights. Norman Lear was the creator of All in the Family. Which he based after a english tv show. Archie Bunker was his guy. Him Brooks. Who did Get Smart. Neil Simon and carl Reiner, dick van dyke guy. Were jewish guys from New york bluecoller. Were in WW2 as 20 yr olds. Got their break on the Show of Shows. With was 1 of first huge shows that had Sid Ceaser as star. He hired these guys with no writing experiance cause he knew them. They all grew up the same way as jrws. Woody Allen was after them. Bob Newhart. They all knew the old vaudeville catskills, poconos bits. They just used them with current times.

[@mikefoster6018]

@@philmabarak5421 I don't understand your point. But if you're saying yours is the correct definition of PC, I'd say you're off. Political correctness means having to be 'POLITICALLY CORRECT', as in not having the 'wrong' politics. It's not 'not being a dic'. It's about aggregating around an agreed political position (which also doesn't always make it right). Being 'politically correct' in Iran will be different to in America. If you're in America and think the Amercian view is least 'being a dic', for example, chances are you wouldn't have the same view if you grew up in Iran or China. Also worth noting that people who shout loudest about PC-ness aren't necessarily speaking for the majority of people in their society. I'd say a lot of people are getting pretty fed up with it and don't even think it's as nice as PC people think. Blazing Saddles is most definitely non-PC, but it is nice and it isn't a 'dic'. PC-ness has ejected the ability to do what Blazing Saddles does so well.

This was a movie that deliberately a hit on racists and racism. At the time, the offensive words and situations (like the reaction a black sheriff might face) were just being explored in a tentative fashion in the media. (Like Guess Whose Coming to Dinner, Lilies in the Field, To Kill A Mockingbird, Heat of the Night.) But these were all experiences marginalized communities encountered every day with little they could effectively do against it. Yes, today we are more sensitive and such language in movies is - thank goodness - rarely heard, but Mel Brooks deliberately wanted to make the average moviegoer squirm, and at the same time, give others a sense of long-overdue payback.

The chess piece grab Jim does isn't a cut. Clevon employs misdirection using his body language and moves his hands back just enough to drop the original piece in his lap before moving the back out and showing the empty hands. Jim produces a duplicate from his holster. The guy who plays Lyle was interviewed and said he couldn't use the N-word until Clevon assured him that all the black actors fully understood that this was just a job, and he was saying the words the writers made his character say. Slim Pickens, Taggart, came up with his character being clobbered with the shovel as Bart's "crime" as he felt Taggart should be punished more for being racist.

[@reverts3031]

The oldest film??? Mel Brooks in the same year as this movie also produced "Young Frankenstein" and chose B&W and used props from the original Frankenstein movies (1931/1935). Don't miss the great stories in the original classics, if you can help it. Oh, and the original "Dracula" from 1931 was produced twice - once in English and the other in Spanish - using different actors in the lead role. I've heard that the Spanish film is superior, but I've always loved seeing Bela Lugosi's Dracula.
