Product Description:
To ruin a western town a corrupt political boss appoints a black sheriff who promptly becomes his most formidable adversary.Studio: Warner Home VideoRelease Date: 01/16/2007Starring: Cleavon Little Slim PickensRun time: 93 minutesRating: RDirector: Mel Brooks
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

- classic comedy
Blazing Saddles is such a classic. From "candygram for Mongo!" to "it's twoo! it's twoo!" it's nonstop laughs.
To save money, the railroad needs to go through the town of Rock Ridge, and governor's right-hand man, Hedley--not Hedy!--Lamarr (Harvey Kormann) come up with a solution to get the residents to leave: hire a black sheriff (Cleavon Little).
When Bart (Little) gets to his office, he discovers the Waco Kid (Gene Wilder) sleeping off a drunk in his cell. They become ... Read More
Rating: - An old favorite with new sparkle.
This irreverent movie, is one of my favorite movies of all times.I think it is Mel Brooks' best; and he holds nothing sacred here.You'll laugh from the first scene until the final scene. The picture and sound are superb on this completely remastered HD-DVD.So... pop this in your player, settle in, and wonder "What in the wide, wide world of sports is a goin' on here?"

- Cat Ballou Part Two But Too Bad About the DVD Though!
Mel Brooks is the Grandfather of the Spoof and especially of the kind that belong to the same category as films like "Airplane", "Hot Shots", "Top Secret" etc and so you know what to expect from this movie.Although many of the jokes don't quite have the same effect as they did at the time of release which is what you would expect from most comedies as society moves on and comedies are really from and of the time that they are made however, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself at least chuckling ...
