User Reviews: Blazing Saddles (1974)
Ahead of its time
Pros: Production values, digital remastered
Cons: May be miscontrued by the easily offended.
One of Mel Brooks controversial films is also a comic gem; he broke the norm and wasn't afraid to write. Warning though: if an individual is NOT familiar with the previous filmmakers, like Marlene Dietrich, they may not understand the role Madeline Kahn portrayed. Only HE can get away with this type of film, especially at the time it was made- a breaking of the norm in society. Lots of sexual indications and profane actions, albeit my oxymoronic criticism loves it- very hysterical and recommended for the open minded.

love the movie, want to order it
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoThis movie is the greatest comedy
Why is this film so good? First, Mel Brooks directed it. Second, it is always funny to see things people always think of to go right in your face with little concern from the characters, and let's face it, mindless is funny. Just look at Spaceballs and Robin Hood: Men In Tights. I recommend this movie for all who like direct abuse.

"Blazing Saddles" had everything, slapstick, farce, and took everyone to task, not just putting down Blacks, or Jews, but everyone, mostly Whites for thinking that we are, in some way, superior to other races. Give me a break, Kiko, the biting social commentary that underlies the storyline is perfect. Mel Brooks, along with a very talented set of writers, including a young Richard Pryor, made social commentary funny, and that's not easy now, much less in the racially charged early 70's.

Very good example of its type of comedy - farce/slapstick with a little spoof thrown in. Clevon Little is outstanding, with Wilder and Korman also quite good. Certainly one of Mel Brooks' best films, although the claim could probably be made that "Young Frankenstein" is better as it appeals to a broader audience and has less purely shock humor. The Farrelly brothers could do with several (more) screenings of Brooks' work.

"Blazing Saddles" broke all the records, which makes this outrageous comedy a timeless classic that never ages. We will always love and remember Brooks and company in trademark roles such as Brooks himself as the lecherous governor and Yiddish-speaking Indian Chief, Harvey Korman as the crafty attorney general Hedley Lamarr, and the late Madeline Kahn in her signature role as the lusty German chanteuse Lilli Von Shtupp.

This is one of the best western comedy I have ever seen in my life. I bought the DVD for my dad. It was the last one in stock.

I absoloutly worship this film. Its my second favourite ever (behind the mighty 'Fish called Wanda'). The story line is impeccable, the jokes had me gasping for air the first time I saw this film and still do now....thats rare these days. The characters are awesome and the twist at the end is not expected at all. Overall I can't fault this film at all .
If ever there was perfection on film, this is it.Was this review helpful? Yes - NoClassic, uproarious, satire. How can he
away with this stuff? He's Mel Brooks, that's how. Put your sensitivities on hold and you might see some fools. Personally, I stayed away from the mirror for a full week. This is humor at its best. Mel, please do an updated version, we've got some new icons that need deflating.

i loved this movie. it's one of my all time favourites. blazing saddles and history of the world are my favourite mel brooks movies.
one has to wonder what this movie would have been like if richard pryor had been in any kind of shape to play the role of bart, as he was the original choice for the lead.Was this review helpful? Yes - NoBest movie by Mel Brooks?
Maybe. I like Young Frankenstein or Space Balls more, but this is still a great movie. Especially the very end. Love the musical number.
Was this review helpful? Yes - Noalright
