Brooks vs. Studio: Warner Brothers’ Studio head told Brooks to gut the movie: cut the fart scene, cut the racial and ethnic jokes, cut the horse-and-old-lady punching scenes, and (totally missing the point) reshoot Bart with a white actor. Brooks had control of the final cut and basically ignored studio directives. Brooks has since joked that if he'd made every change on that list, the movie would've been 14 minutes long.

Madeline Kahn's Oscar nod: Kahn scored a Best Supporting Actress nomination for playing Lili Von Shtupp. Her screen time is so minimal, basically two scenes and ~15 minutes, that she's often cited as one of the shortest screen-time nominations in Oscar history (but no hard screen time data on this).

Richard Pryor’s impact: The script has five credited writers, including Richard Pryor, who was originally meant to play Bart but, according to Brooks, couldn't get insured due to his drug use and a prior arrest, so Cleavon Little got the role instead. Pryor was the one who insisted the N-word stay in and be used frequently, arguing the film was about racial prejudice, so that had to be the word used, and the more the racists used it, the more the Black sheriff's eventual victory would land.

The 4th Wall Ending: The famous fourth-wall-breaking finale (the brawl crashing into the adjacent musical set, spilling onto the studio lot, ending at Grauman's Chinese Theatre) is often cited as one of the first mainstream self-aware meta-comedy structures. A movie literally eating its own production.

Mel Brooks is a big musical guy....His first movie The Producers, which features Gene Wilder's breakout role and which Brooks won an Oscar for writing, revolves around a musical. He wrote its memorable song himself. Decades later, he turned The Producers into a Broadway musical, and won 3 Tonys: for best musical, best book of a musical and best score. Here he is singing with his wife Anne Bancroft (Mrs. Robinson from The Graduate) in Polish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SiBS2kqgYM As you probably know, Mel Brooks turned 100 on June 28. And to mark his 100th birthday, the American Film Institute elevated Blazing Saddles from No. 6 to No. 1 on its 2000 list of the greatest comedies of all time. https://www.afi.com/news/afi-proclaims-blazing-saddles-the-funniest-film-of-all-time/

It's funny and ridiculous how often quicksand played a part in movie & TV show plots in the 70s and 80s.

Mel Brooks played the Governor & Indian Chief. Oops, you caught this when you saw the credits.

When Mongo rides into Rock Ridge on the bull, the "Yes/No" on its rear end, similar to signage you might see on a big rig, is to indicate on which side it's safe to go around. Frankie Lane, who sings the main title song, thought that the movie was a drama; Mel Brooks didn't have the heart to tell him it was a comedy, because he didn't think Lane would sing the song with the same conviction. "The Producers" was Mel Brooks' first film (he won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay), and it set the bar for his sense of humor. It was adapted into a Broadway musical in 2001, which in turn was adapted to a feature film in 2005. "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" is a parody of the Robin Hood legend in general, and a lot of stuff parodies "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" specifically. If you want to watch that movie first, it would help get a lot of the references.

Glad you loved the dynamic between Bart (Little) and the Waco Kid (Wilder). Both of them stepped in for the original actors cast for these roles. So the two most memorable performances in the film came from actors who had to fill in for the originally cast performers.

we'll definitely need to see The Producers at some point! even as a musical theatre kid I never saw/knew the plot of the musical so I'd be especially curious to check it out!

Camilla's Corner

whaaattt they're both so perfect for the roles! that's funny

One of my favorite bits in the movie is when Jim is talking to Bart, monolog style to the camera. Most of it was scripted, but the part where says, "You know morons!" was unscripted and the laugh from Cleavon is legit. Glad you finally watched this one. It is an all-time favorite. You need to watch Spaceballs and Robin Hood: Men in Tights (but after watching Costner's Robin Hood first) and History of the World: Part 1. Brooks is a legend in our own time. So glad we got to see his work.

Blazing Saddles has a special place in my heart from childhood but Space Balls is more iconic imo especially if you happen to like references to Star Wars and Star Trek.

‘Excuse me while I whip this out’ is one of my favorite lines how everyone assumes something else and he just takes out a paper 😂

Blind Entertainment

This is such a great fun movie! If you’re looking for some other Mel Brooks movies to watch I’d say the producers, and spaceballs.

Daniel Goldberg

Thanks for the reaction. You probably can’t imagine the impact this movie had in 1974, I don’t think anyone had ever seen anything like it. By the way, Mel Brooks as the Indian chief was speaking Yiddish, not German. A couple other of his movies that I like, although the reviews are mixed, are Silent Movie and, if you are familiar with much of Hitchcock, High Anxiety.
