Not too many people actually verbalize that they understand OR see the one little subtle line and action that to me is one of the funniest lines in the entire movie!!! When Bart reveals his hands, when he's dressed in the KKK outfit, and Gene Wilder starts rubbing his hands saying that it's burnt cross that can rub off, he turns Bart's hand over to the palm and says "SEE, it's coming off!"😅😂 ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!!!!

Another Mel Brooks comedy staring Gene Wilder you may want to check out is "Young Frankenstein"

*Fronk-en-steen!

Gene Wilder ad-libbed the line "You know, morons." Bart's laugh was legit.

Richard Pryor was one of the writers of this script

Mel Brooks is a comedy genius with parodies and satire. Gene Wilder also stars in and co-wrote another of Brooks’ films “Young Frankenstein”, which is definitely worth watching as are all Brooks’ films. If you are going to watch more Mel Brooks films, watch them in order of release. His films quite often have references to his previous films as jokes.

One of my favorite bits of trivia about this movie is that Brooks originally wanted to make a movie satirizing racism in modern, post civil-rights era USA. He was told he couldn't put his anti-racism movie in 1974, so he put it in 1874 and made it a western. The entire studio scene ending of the movie was his way of demonstrating that the racism was as prevalent in 1974 as it was in 1874.

No one ever gets that when they sing "I Get A Kick Out of You" it's completely anachronistic---it's as if they started rapping.

"I Get a Kick Out of You" is a Cole Porter song from the Broadway musical "Anything Goes." I worked that musical in a Summer Stock Theater. One of the multiple hints in the movie about Bart's sophistication versus the racists. Cleavon Little was a successful Broadway actor and singer.

Since you asked, Mel Brooks was the Governor and one of the dancing guys onstage. And the Indian when they were crossing the desert. Gene Wilder (Willy Wonka) and Richard Pryor made a bunch of buddy comedies together. Richard Pryor was supposed to be the sheriff in this but couldn’t make it. I think Cleavon Little is excellent. Since you’ve watched Star Wars, you may consider Spaceballs. Another silly Mel Brooks comedy but more of a parody.

"Have you ever seen such cruelty" That will never NOT be funny

What was so great was it starts out as a super serious movie, but then it breaks down into sheer nuttiness. For reference, Richard Pryor wrote the white dialog, and Mel Brooks wrote the black dialog. It it truly anti-racist and anachronistic... and, btw, Mel Brooks played the dim-witted Gov. 😂

"Hey, where the white women at?" Insanely brilliant comedy that everyone needs to watch at least once. 😎 👍 Fun Fact: Randolph Scott was an American leading man who became Hollywood's greatest and most popular Western star. Historical Facts: Jesse Owens was an American track and field athlete who won four gold medals at the 1936 Olympic Games in Germany. Owens was credited with "single-handedly crushing Hitler's myth of Aryan supremacy" boasting before the games. Art Imitates Life Fact: The scene in which Cleavon Little aims his gun at his own head to save himself from the townspeople's wrath was based on an incident from Mel Brooks' childhood. He said that once, to his disbelief, he stole some gum and a water pistol from a drugstore; when a store worker tried to stop him, Brooks held the worker at bay with the very water pistol he had just taken from the store. Music Enthusiast Fact: When Mel Brooks advertised in the show business trade papers for a "Frankie Laine-type" voice to sing the film's title song, he was hoping for a good imitator. Instead, Frankie Laine himself showed up at Brooks' office two days later, ready to do the job, but nobody told him the movie was a parody. Apparently, Laine did not take offense at the deception considering he reportedly was pleased with the film upon seeing it on release. Unwanted Extra Fact: At the end of the movie when the whole group is running out of the Warner Brothers studio front gates, there is a man in a sweater standing on the sidewalk, watching the action. Mel Brooks has said that the man was not part of the movie, and had simply wandered into the scene. They shooed him away and then went to film the scene. The guy came back into the shot and is seen standing next to a light pole as the characters stream past him down the street. Brooks had asked the man to move, as they were getting ready to shoot that scene. The man, not understanding their requests, stood there. So Brooks sent out a waiver for him to sign, and left him in the movie.

Another great Mel Brooks film with Gene Wilder (Willy Wonka) is "Young Frankenstein". Definitely worth a watch and reaction. Then, "Spaceballs" is another great Mel Brooks film and worth a watch and reaction.

Howard Johnson is an ice cream company, it sells 28 flavors. Apparently it got its start in Rock Ridge with one flavor. I'm not sure you understood Hedley's "too Jewish" comment. When God sent Moses to free the Israelite slaves from Egyptian rule, the last of the ten plagues was that God killed the firstborn son in every Egyptian household. What did Gabby say? "He said the sheriff is near." No, that's not what he said. The band in the desert was the Count Basie Orchestra, a famous band from the swing era. The Count himself was conducting. Everybody seems to miss the laurel and hearty handshake. (Stanley) Laurel and (Oliver) Hardy were a famous comedy team, they made over 100 movies in the 1930s-40s era. "For my next impression, Jesse Owens." He was a black track and field athlete who humiliated Adolph Hitler in the 1936 Olympics (hosted by Germany) by beating Hitler's Aryan athletes to take home four gold medals. Oh, and the bad guy wearing the aviator jacket in the crowd was also Mel Brooks. I think "you'd do it for Randolph Scott" also went over your head because you flew right by it. Randolph Scott was another movie star, who made dozens of western movies in the 1950s-60s. No, that rap song isn't where "You do that voodoo" comes from. It's from a Cole Porter song, "You Do Something to Me" from the 1929 Broadway musical "Fifty Million Frenchmen". The song the railroad crew sang was "I Get A Kick Out of You", also a Cole Porter song. I often want to go nowhere special too.

In some towns they used to take the drunks in and put them in a cell to sleep it off. When they got sober and woke up they were free to go. They weren’t locked up unless they were accused of drunk and disorderly. After they started charging for public intoxication the open door policy died out because they arrested you when they took you in. However I do know a small town in Nebraska where if you don’t feel safe driving home you can go to the jail and they will put you in a bed until you can take yourself home or someone comes and gets you.

Jim was sleeping off his liquor in the drunk tank, which used to be a common practice. He wasn't actually a prisoner, just a guest for the night. However, when he sobered up, revealed who he was, and treated Bart with respect, Bart decided that having such a man as a deputy would be a pretty good idea, particularly as Jim had first raised the idea.

Richard Pryor was a co-writer on this and Brooks wanted him for the lead but the studio thought he was too much of a risk.

You can't think too hard on how they were building the rail or how it got in "quicksand". If you really pay attention to the workers in the opening shot, they're just hitting the ground where there's already track laid. It would have been a huge expense to try replicating the actual building of rail, and quicksand used this way is a typical fantasy movie plot device. Mel Brooks movies are just big live-action cartoons. Gene Wilder's been in a couple more of Brooks' best: The Producers and Young Frankenstein.

One of the best to ever do it. And Young Frankenstein is perhaps the best comedy film ever.

I'm not certain if the late Richard Pryor wrote most if not all of the script for this movie or shared the writing credit with someone else. Actually, Richard was supposed to portray Sherriff Bart in the movie, but Richard's well-known public and private issues led the studio to seek out a replacement which was Cleavon Little. Mel Brooks not only breaks the fourth wall, but he also curb stomps it, body slams it and tosses it off a cliff. Only Mel Brooks, would have the townsfolk engage in an all-out brawl which spills over into the studio during a dance rehearsal and continue into the cafeteria. Then have the movie's villain escape to the premier of Blazing Saddles only to be gunned down by the hero who then goes watches the rest of the movie that he is in. PRICELESS!!!

I saw this in the theatre when it was first released. When Cleavin Little said "Where the white women at?" the audience laughter was so loud you couldn't hear any dialogue for about 30 seconds. Comedy has often been used to point out outdated social norms, before people were triggered by everything. It's a dead art form.
