Editorial Review:
The railroad's got to run through the town of Rock Ridge. How do you drive out the townfolk in order to steal their land? Send in the toughest gang you've got...and name a new sheriff who'll last about 24 hours. But that's not really the plot of Blazing Saddles, just the pretext. Once Mel Brooks' lunatic film - many call it his best - gets started, logic is lost in a blizzard of gags, jokes, quips, puns, howlers, growlers and outrageous assaults upon good taste or any taste at all. Cleavon Little as the new lawman, Gene Wilder as the wacko Waco Kid, Brooks himself as a dim-witted politico and Madeline Kahn in her Marlene Dietrich send-up that earned an Academy Award nomination all give this sagebrush saga their lunatic best. And when Blazing Saddles can't contain itself at the finale, it just proves the Old West will never be the same!

Description of Blazing Saddles [Blu-ray]:
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

Blazing Saddles [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Still the ultimate Western movie satire...hands down!
2009-11-08 - Way Out West. Go West. My Little Chickadee. The Paleface. Cat Ballou. Western comedies have been done before...but NEVER like this! Some 30-odd years later, Mel Brooks' "Blazing Saddles" still retains its impact, and its unapologetic political incorrectness. Brooks had told all his writers to "go for broke; anything outrageous gets thrown in!" And the movie sure looks it. BS does have an "everything but the kitchen sink" quality to it. Like "Young Frankenstein", which is gentler but just as kooky, BS aims scattershot at all kinds of satire, old & new, and scores time & again. Tucked in between the belly laughs are messages about corruption, greed & racism...but the comedy still rules, especially when you have a campfire bean-eating scene where cowboys are passing gas in turn. And like YF, BS has so many outrageously funny moments that you need a score card. Brooks gives himself dual roles as a Yiddish-speaking Indian chief, and as the misguided cross-eyed Governor LePetemaine. There are dozens of sharp, funny performances in the movie: From the gawdy heroics of Cleavon Little & Gene Wilder to the snivelling villainy of Harvey Korman to Madeline Kahn's "Destry Rides Again" spoof of Marlene Dietrich...well, even the supporting players are terrific.
Fast paced & hilarious, you definitely can't go wrong with this comedy which shows Brooks at the top of his game!

A True Classic Film and now on Blu-Ray!!
2009-11-04 - I just love this movie. It is absolutely hilarious. Mel Brooks at his finest. And now that it is on Blu-Ray it's even better. I definitely recommend this movie.

all true
2009-10-19 - Everything you've ever heard... good or bad... about "Blazing Saddles" is absolutely true... if not somewhat understated.
That said, there's nothing that can be added regarding the movie. But the legend, and the deals around it just get better and better. I had no idea that there had been a series pilot. Didn't sell... a mixed mercy, but I have it now in my library so that makes the B.S. experience worth revisiting, and in a time of strangling political correctness, I'm proud to say there is no single frame of video in the film that doesn't piss somebody off. The effort to leave no viewer unoffended is an historic success.

exelent vendor, fast service
2009-10-18 - thankyou amazon i was looking for this movie for years, and also you have and blue ray, is awesome

Blazing Saddles-(1974) Not my brand humor but you can't help but laugh.
2009-07-31 - Blazing Saddles was not my particular brand of humor but I have to admit, very funny. I rate it at four stars and Mel Brooks has never been very good at political correctness anyhow. I have heard that this movie really launched his popularity and set us all up for Young Frankenstein soon to follow.
