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

- not as funny after repeated viewings
Lets kill every oldest son, nah too jewish.
Maybe this has been on cable way too much, or times have changes, but this just is not as funny as i remember it being. True, it could never be made today given the racial sensitivity of our PC era, but some of the jokes are just not all that funny. That said, Slim Pickens is the best part of this whole movie, every scene with him still shines.

- great
I bought this movie for my husband's birthday, and he loves it. Amazon was fast, inexpensive and easy to use.

Rating:

- Incredible picture quality on blu-ray!
I didn't have high expectations for picture/sound quality of Blazing Saddles on blu-ray. I mean, it's such an old movie, how good could it be?

I was actually shocked to find it has excellent picture quality ...amazing picture quality, considering the movie was filmed in 1974! The edges are sharp, the colors are rich, I have never seen Blazing Saddles like this before. The audio is also very good.

If you're a Mel Brooks fan, this one is well worth getting on blu-ray.

Rating:

- One of the funniest movies ever made
You can't go wrong having this movie in your collection. It is funny every time you watch it.
