Editorial Review:
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

Rating:  - tried to watch it again after a long time.
As a little kid, I loved this movie. All the cartoonish candygram for Mongo schtick and the farting cowboys. As an adult I watched it, found it boring and was offended by all the questionable race humor.
I give it two stars because I remember a funny movie i loved as a kid. (he took hmself hostage hardy har har) otherwise I'd give it negative one star.

You should own it on BLU-RAY DISC today.
Rating:  - Candy Gram for Mongo
Great! Along with The Producers and Young Frankenstein, Mel Brooks has made three of the all time funny movies. I remember seeing this when in was first released and the audience in the cinema were in hysterics of laughter throughout and today it still is a hoot.Great cast, crazy script(such as it is)and just a great vibe throughout combine to make a movie classic. Mel Brooks has tried many times to recreate the wackiness and great spoofery of Blazing Saddles and has never succeeded.What makes Blazing ... Read More
Rating: - l get no kick from champagne, mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all...
...l get a belt out of Blazing Saddles. Now l bet you're wondering why l'm singing and not reviewing. (Y0U BET Y0UR A--!!!) Well, the real people of Rock Ridge will love this movie, as will the fake ones. You'll love this movie more than a box of paddle-balls.
Rating: - Really?
String together a group of stereotypes and cliché ridden gags and you have your generic parody. Sadly, `Blazing Saddles' doesn't add anything else to the pot to make it noteworthy or memorable. In fact, `Blazing Saddles' is so generic I am still baffled at all the unwavering devotion it receives. Now understand that I am a huge fan of Mel Brooks and I adore Gene Wilder (I gave `Young Frankenstein' 5 stars recently) but this film is not one I can gather behind. It has so many loyal supporters, but ... Read More
