Blazing Saddles	comment	Blazing Saddles is a 1974 American comedy film produced by Warner Bros. and directed and co-written by Mel Brooks (with writing help from none other than Richard Pryor), which mercilessly spoofs The Western.In 1874, railroad construction in the southwestern United States runs into quicksand and the path needs re-routing, which means that the land where the tiny town of Rock Ridge sits will soon become extremely valuable. Territorial Attorney General Hedley (not Hedy) Lamarr (Harvey Korman) schemes to get his hands on the now-priceless real estate by hiring thugs to kill the sheriff and terrify the locals into leaving so he can acquire it for a pittance. When they don't leave, Lamarr convinces bumbling Governor William J. LePetomane (Brooks) to appoint a black man named Bart (Cleavon Little) â€“ awaiting a death sentence for striking a white man â€“ as the new sheriff, a move calculated to result in Bart getting killed by the racist townspeople and/or the townspeople leaving in disgust (which would give Lamarr free rein over the land). Once Bart arrives in Rock Ridge, Hilarity Ensues. Adding to said hiliarity are alcoholic Jewish gunslinger The Waco Kid (Gene Wilder), sexy German chanteuse Lili Von Shtupp (Madeline Kahn), and hulking monosyllabic horse-puncher Mongo (Alex Karras), among others.Completely, offensively, and unapologetically politically incorrect, Blazing Saddles also skewers nearly every Western trope listed on this site (and likely a few we haven't thought of yet). Instead of making a serious movie saying "racism is bad", Brooks decided to make a movie where all the racists are idiots, a philosophy he also employed when dealing with Nazis in his movies.An animated "re-imagining" of the film (dubbed Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank, formerly known as Blazing Samurai), with Brooks onboard as an executive producer and the voice of a character, was in Development Hell for seven years before finally getting released in July 2022.

This was possibly foreshadowed by a line implying that Taggart's thugs raped people — not women, the list specifically says "people".

Blazing Saddles / int_1e7487cd	comment	Breaking the Fourth Wall: The movie has a pretty flimsy fourth wall to begin with, but by the end of the movie it completely collapses. During a speech, Hedley Lamaar says "You will only be risking your lives, while I will be risking an almost certain Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor." The big fight towards the end of the movie breaks out of the set and ruins a neighboring Busby Berkeley Number. This would be breaking the third wall. Taggart: "I'm working for Mel Brooks!" (writer/director). The end fight scene, where they break through the wall of the studio and continue the fight across several sets, culminating in Hedley Lamarr fleeing to Grauman's Chinese Theatre, and dying next to Douglas Fairbanks's footprints. The final scene in the movie escalates directly to No Fourth Wall, in which the two main characters watch the end of their own movie together at the Chinese Theatre. Not to mention that the Waco Kid, once back in the "movie", is still carrying the popcorn he was eating in the theater.

Blazing Saddles / int_259d5879	comment	Anachronism Stew: Played for Laughs. Nazis (and Arabs and bikers) in the Old West, for one thing. Also, the film is set in 1875, several years after the original version of the KKK had died out (it wouldn't revive until the 1910s). Bart invents the Candygram to deal with Mongo. Bonus points for the movie soundtrack sampling the Looney Tunes theme right before it blows... Bart and the other railroad crew members sing several lines from Cole Porter's song "I Get a Kick Out of You". It was written in the early 1930s, more than fifty years after the movie is set. After Bart tricks the thugs into dancing around, Mr. Taggart rides up and says "What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is going on?". ABC's Wide World of Sports started in 1961. Hedley's executioner is dressed in full medieval garb, complete with mail armor and hood. When Bart and Jim's KKK impersonation is exposed, Bart says his next impression will be 1930s Olympic runner Jesse Owens before he runs away. Freeways and tollbooths didn't exist til The '40s. Bart's sunglasses and Gucci saddlebags. The Waco Kid claims to have "killed more people than Cecil B. DeMille"; the famous filmmaker wasn't even born until 1881. The ending, where the cast brawl spills out of its set, flies right into a 20s-30s Fred Astaire-esque Busby Berkeley Number of a type that was no longer being made at the time this film was, then crashes into 1970s Hollywood, and back to the old West... where our heroes are chauffeured away in a fancy car.

Blazing Saddles / int_278bd1bf	comment	Playing Up the Stereotype: The racist, ignorant townsfolk of Rock Ridge all hate black people. So when Big Bad Hedley Lamarr sets up the African-American Bart as the new sheriff of Rock Ridge, the townsfolk are all prepared to shoot him. Thinking quickly, Bart holds himself hostage, acting as both a brutal hostage taker and a stereotypical black man while moving towards the safety of the sheriff's office. The townspeople are so stupid that this actually works, allowing Bart to escape the situation with no trouble. Later on, Bart and Jim disguise themselves as Ku Klux Klan members by having Bart ask "Where da White Women At?", luring the KKK members away, knocking them out, and stealing their uniforms.

Blazing Saddles / int_294ed981	comment	Bilingual Bonus: The Indian chief played by Mel Brooks has "Kosher for Passover" written in Hebrew on his headdress... but with the letters arranged in such a way as to translate as "Posher for Kassover". Most of the Indian Chief's dialogue is in Yiddish. He even calls Bart and his parents "Schvartzes", a Yiddish term for dark-skinned people (a term with its own loaded racial history). In the same scene, the chief chants "Loz im gehn!" Translation: "Let them go," as in Moses demanding Pharaoh release his people. Lili's last name "Shtupp" is Yiddish slang for having sex. The Governor's last name, "Le Petomane", is literally "the Fart Maniac" in French. (Which was the actual stage name/sobriquet of a performance artist in Victorian Paris, Joseph Pujol— whose act involved literally drawing air into the rectum and expelling it in any of a number of wondrous ways).

Blazing Saddles / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: No, quicksand is not an all-consuming demonic force of nature that swallows up everything in its path, and you won't even go in up to your neck, even if your waist does go under. The two men who sink in the quicksand pit are even able to get themselves out with just enough effort. And then, since quicksand is a construction hazard, the railroad company is forced to find a different path for the track as soon as the quicksand pit is discovered in its way. Bart spends part of the movie trying to earn acceptance by a bunch of racist rubes, which, to his frustration, doesn't happen overnight. His first day on patrol gets him called a "nigger" by an old lady. When Bart brings down an outlaw, the old lady does apologize, but still would prefer not be seen with him in public. As Mel Brooks explains in the DVD commentary, the fart scene is a case of this. Previous films depicting cowboys drinking coffee and eating beans all the time never showed that such a diet results in people constantly passing gas.

Their boss then shows up and chews them out for "jump[ing] around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots," all with the black workers laughing at their expense.

It breaks down to: if a character is racist/prejudiced, they're going to look like the idiot that makes them. Jim is puzzled at first to see that Bart is black, but that's as far as his reaction goes; he soon comes over to Bart's side and steadily regains his past badass nature throughout the movie. Lily and Mongo both make quick Heel Face Turns, and come out looking pretty good.

To test his skills, Jim has Bart put his hands about 6 inches apart, on either side of a chess piece, to see if he can grab it before Jim (Who is five feet away, on the other side of the table). At the word 'draw!' Bart claps his hands together, while Jim makes no appreciable movement. Needless to say, the chess piece is not in Bart's hands, but rather found concealed in Jim's gun holster. He does it again later when he shoots an entire group of mooks' guns out of their hands. We do see him grab his guns, but then cut to the guns being knocked away, and when we cut back they are back in their holsters and his arms are crossed as if he didn't move at all.

Played with when it comes to Big Bad Hedley Lamarr. While you'd probably expect the bad guy in a film from an era with so much bigotry and a black protagonist to be a vicious racist himself, Lamarr shows much less bigotry than his henchmen, Mr. Taggart and Lyle. He doesn't even show as much racism as the Innocent Bystanders that the black sheriff is protecting! When hiring outlaws he advertises himself as an Equal Opportunity Employer and specifically mentions in his famous Long List that he wants criminals of many different races and backgrounds working for him. On the other hand, he doesn't hesitate to slap Lili around and insult her German ancestry when she does a High-Heelâ€“Face Turn. Lamarr is also in charge of appropriating land in Colorado from the local Indians, which he justifies by claiming "they're such children", although there's a chance that this could be chalked up to him playing to his audience, as Lamarr says it while addressing the governor and his cabinet, and events of the film show that Lamarr will say anything and use any sort of line to manipulate the governor and get what he wants from the man. Lamarr is pretty much in it for the money and power, and race seems to be a secondary concern.

Blazing Saddles / int_7815ba15	comment	N-Word Privileges: No way anyone but Mel Brooks could have gotten away with half of the jokes in this movie. It helped having Richard Pryor on board as co-writer. But Mel Brooks has confirmed that most of the n-word jokes came from himself, and Richard Pryor was largely responsible for the character of Mongo. Actor Burton Gilliam (who played the mook who demands Bart and his friends sing "a good old-fashioned *** work song" early in the film), in one of the DVD release featurettes, says he was very uncomfortable about having to use the word and sought out Cleavon Little's blessing. Little reassured Burton that it was just acting and he knew it didn't reflect Burton's own attitude. One of a relative few productions of this nature (All in the Family being another) where the use of the N-word hasn't caused an uproar, likely due to its long and well-established history as a film that, despite being a comedy, is also a condemnation of racism. In one of the DVD featurettes it is stated outright that the film "walks up to racism and punches it in the face." Nonetheless, Brooks has admitted numerous times that he would never have gotten away with it if the film had been made in a later era.

Blazing Saddles / int_970c790a	comment	Played with when it comes to Big Bad Hedley Lamarr. While you'd probably expect the bad guy in a film from an era with so much bigotry and a black protagonist to be a vicious racist himself, Lamarr shows much less bigotry than his henchmen, Mr. Taggart and Lyle. He doesn't even show as much racism as the Innocent Bystanders that the black sheriff is protecting! When hiring outlaws he advertises himself as an Equal Opportunity Employer and specifically mentions in his famous Long List that he wants criminals of many different races and backgrounds working for him. On the other hand, he doesn't hesitate to slap Lili around and insult her German ancestry when she does a High-Heelâ€“Face Turn. Lamarr is also in charge of appropriating land in Colorado from the local Indians, which he justifies by claiming "they're such children", although there's a chance that this could be chalked up to him playing to his audience, as Lamarr says it while addressing the governor and his cabinet, and events of the film show that Lamarr will say anything and use any sort of line to manipulate the governor and get what he wants from the man. Lamarr is pretty much in it for the money and power, and race seems to be a secondary concern.

Blazing Saddles / int_9f81bd21	comment	Stealth Parody: One so convincing it fooled Frankie Laine. Not that you could call anything in this movie "subtle", but the racial humor tends to overshadow the fact that this film's greatest joke is highlighting how phony Hollywood's conception of the Old West is, from the defenseless townsfolk (until a black man shows up anyway) to the cliche ending of riding off into the sunset. Bart even literally passes by the orchestra for the soundtrack when riding to Rock Ridge, and during the climax they literally burst out of the studio to highlight this is all fake. If anything the racial humor enhances this, reminding us how prejudiced a lot of the Old West truly was in spite of being built on the backs of former slaves and immigrant workers. When he was recording the title track, Frankie Laine asked Mel Brooks what the movie was about, and he said it was "a Western about racism." Laine then recorded a song so unapologetically sincere that Mel Brooks didn't have the heart to tell him it was a parody.

Blazing Saddles / int_a4c37cbe	comment	Mood Whiplash: Jim's story on how he quit being the Waco Kid. It seems to start out as a typical tragic gunslinger story, implying a dark ending even for a parody like Mel Brooks, but the punchline turned it into one of the funniest scenes in the movie. Happens again a little later after Bart tried and failed to win over the racist townsfolk, and is staring blankly at the wall in a depressed state. Cleavon Little didn't know what Gene Wilder was going to say at the end of the speech.

Blazing Saddles / int_a61d8e40	comment	Fastest Gun in the West: Jim the Waco Kid is a ludicrously extreme version. He can draw, fire six shots, and re-holster his gun before any of his six opponents can pull the trigger on pistols they have already cocked and aimed. He can even take a chess piece in front of him from between Bart's hands before Bart can clap them around the piece, then drop the piece in his empty holster, all without even seeming to move. His backstory also parodies the "unwanted attention from every two-bit thug with something to prove" aspect; Jim describes how he lost faith in everything when he was challenged by a six-year-old; disheartened, Jim dropped his guns and turned away... and "the little bastard shot me in the ass."

Blazing Saddles / int_aabe2fb	comment	Deliberate Values Dissonance: The constant and blatant racism from everyone but the two leads. Perhaps most dissonant is the sudden racism the townsfolk display toward the Irish, who are not seen as an abused minority in modern times (nor were they in the 1970s when the movie was first released). This is because there was rampant racism towards the Irish during the time period the movie takes place in, i.e. the 1870s. Made even more amusing as the actor delivering the line "but we don't want the Irish" was Irish.

(To add insult to injury, Mongo decided that Defeat Means Friendship, and lets Bart know what little he knows about Hedley's plot—which is more than Bart suspected up to this point.)

(The workers are mostly black and Chinese.) After a bit of discussion, the people announce "Ok, we'll give some land to the niggers and the chinks, but we don't want the Irish!" This is a deliberate attempt to show how meaningless prejudice and racism is, and how what are now seemingly generic groups were once a major target of such prejudice. And, as historians will tell you, the Irish were indeed discrimated against in the 19th century.

When Bart hears the Waco Kid moaning in his bunk, he turns to the camera and says "The drunk in number two must be awake." After boring the Waco Kid to sleep, Sheriff Bart looks at the camera and says, "Always like to keep my audience riveted." While Mongo is talking with Sheriff Bart and the Waco Kid, he turns to face the audience and says "Mongo only pawn in game of life". As two thugs assault a little old lady, she turns to the audience and asks, "Have you ever seen such cruelty?" while the thugs pause until she's finished.

As one of those behind the film's production states in the DVD featurette, Brooks intended the film to walk up to racism and punch it in the face. That said, the film is rarely broadcast unedited anymore.

The line "All right, we'll give some land to the niggers and the chinks - but we don't want the Irish!" Sounds like just another joke, but at this time in history, the Irish really were treated as an inferior "race" of people by the mostly-WASPy frontier settlers, and considered to be a "lesser class of white". Just ask anyone in the US with Irish ancestry (or, for that matter, anyone who's seen Gangs of New York.)
