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."

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.

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".

Mel Brooks said every Western he saw while growing up had all the cowboys only eating beans and coffee. So he thought up the fart scene because of it.
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'm a Mississippian by birth not choice so you understand my world and I love that. You guys are great.

When I was at secondary school (1980s), those 'in the know' (i.e. those that had seen the film) routinely used the taking-yourself-hostage gag to exit awkward situations (a bit like Trekkies using "beam me up Scotty) to the general confusion of those not in the know...

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.
Inside joke... When Mongo comes into town, a guy yells Mongo! Santa Maria! and genuflects. Mongo Santamaria was a Cuban jazz percussionist back in the 50s and 60s.

Fun Fact: the random guy standing looking confused on the sidewalk corner near the end when they run out of the studio and into the street to the chinese theater is actually a random guy who accidentally wandered onto that set and really wasn't meant to be there. Hence why he looks so confused and is awkwardly just standing, but they left it because for one money, but also they just thought it was funny.
How many near spit takes really happened during the reaction? I mean, holding a drink while watching Blazing Saddles IS a real danger. All of Mongo's lines are written by Richard Pryor.
Oh lordy lord. So glad you two did this one again.
"we wanted to chill tonight". You just had to go outside… ;-)

"Somebody's gotta go back and get a shitload of dimes" 😀
Things I noticed very recently 1) Anne Bancroft (Mel Brooks' wife) is standing next to John Hillerman (Howard Johnson... whose name and business jokes in of themselves that I missed when I was younger, as I was not familiar with the Howard Johnson's brand). 2) Harriet Johnson (soft spoken school marm with sudden power voice) is played by Carol Arthur (Dom Deluise's wife) 3) Reverend Johnson is the same actor as Mr. Hilltop (the old guy Fredrick Frankenstein knees in the hoohah during his presentation).
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.
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.
She survived this movie... splendid... splendid...
This movie is such a true gem. I love all the little things, like Baskin Robins, 1 flavor" (instead of the 32) Hitler in the back ground during the pie fight, standing in the back, doing the salute. The town meeting, and everyone has he same last name, but only show their initials. Pugs were in the list of bad guys to round up.
My two favorite scenes, in no order, are the Camp Town Ladies and Bart taking himself hostage.
My favorite line is in hedley speech. You men are merely risking your lives whilst I am risking an almost assured nomination for best supporting actor.
Speaking of Richard Pryor co-wrote this movie, he was chosen by Mel Brooks to play the sheriff, but studio overruled him by having the actor named Cleavon Little because studio deemed Pryor too controversial that might hurt box office.

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!

"LET THEM GO!! COULD YOU BELIVE SUCH A THING COULD HAPPEN?"
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.
A comment on another reaction to this film said that, when it was shown on TV, they station muted all the fart noises, so the home audience was left with a series of men standing up and sitting down again for no obvious reason at all. Lili's character is very much based on, and a spoof of, Marlene Dietrich; role in Destry Rides Again, with James Stewart - hence the Germanic accent.
I use the phrase "somebody's gotta go back and get a s#!+load of dimes" quite a bit.
The little wagon train circle. Tears!
Fun fact, the actor who played Mongo was actually a linebacker for the Detroit lions! I wouldn’t want to be the horse that got punched by him!
15:00 I've seen versions in which _this_ scene is followed up by a scene with Bart posing as the host for a "find the sunken treasure" kind of booth like you find at the carnival. He tricks Mongo into putting on the 19th century's version of a SCUBA suit and climbing down the wall to the very bottom of the tank and then Bart "discovers" that it's time for his break. Then Mongo is on the floor of the tank and a sign drops down beside him that says, "For more air, deposit 10 cents," and he starts looking for a dime. That's the scene in which Bart _catches_ Mongo.
My favorite quote is "Nevermind that $h!t, here comes Mongo!"

I can’t imagine the atmosphere in the theaters when this film first came out.
This is the first R rated film my mother ever saw in theaters. She was 9.
They had to cut a line...during the scene in the dark when Lili von Shtupp says "It's twue...it's twue, it's twue!", the sheriff originally responded, "Ma'am, you're sucking on my arm." It's one of the few instances where they weren't able to get around the censors.
Another great comedy!- I remember the crowds in the theater went crazy over the campfire "gas" scene- I still laugh just as loud!
Blazing Saddles and Clue are both movies I forced my nephew to watch. He balked at them both at first but at the end of the film he loved them.
The schoolmarm is Carol Arthur, Dom DeLuise’s wife. Dom was the director of the big production at the end.
One of the funny things in this movie to me and Madeline Kahn's singing in the movie when she was actually an excellent singer
I don't know about the U.S.but when I first saw Blazing Saddles on network TV in Canada in the 90's they left the farts in.
The actor playing Hedley (not Heddy) is the wonderful Harvey Korman. He spent many years on the Carol Burnett show. Some of his skits with Carol and Tim Conway are worth a look.
