| Great Movie! |
I think this movie is one of the best Mel Brooks movies ever made. It's a great comedy that is not politically correct and I love that. He's not afraid to push the envelope with his movies. They have moments that just make you blush. I also recommend his movie History of the World Part I. Great great movie! |

| "Never Give a Saga an Even Break" |
Mel Brooks and company offer an endless supply of sight gags, one-liners and social commentary in this classic sagebrush satire. The priceless rapport between Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder guarantees repeat viewings. Harvey Korman lost his "almost-certain Academy Award nomination" as the villainous Hedley Lamarr, but Madeline Kahn received Oscar acknowledgment for her Marlene Dietrich parody. In terms of sheer laugh content, "Blazing Saddles" survives as Brooks' finest hour -- political correctness be damned. |

| Best comedy of all time |
If you have only seen Blazing Saddles on network TV where all the vulgarities have been dubbed over, you haven't really seen Blazing Saddles. The sanitized version leaves you wondering why people think the movie is funny. The uncensored version leave you laughing, and laughing, and laughing. Heck, I saw it when it first came out and I have watched my VHS copy over the years and I still enjoy it. I bought this DVD version to have a more permanent copy. I don't mind that it lacks a lot of extra content. All I wanted was a good copy of the original movie, and that's what I got. |

| A Mel Brooks Classic |
Don't buy this movie if you are easily offended; every race and ethnic group is made light hearted fun of. If you are a Mel Brooks fan this is a must have. |

| Crazy - Makes Fun of Everyone Generally Great |
This is my favorite movie of all time so likely my review will be slanted toward the positive. Still the movie is just completely crazy. Within the first few minutes you instantly get a feel for the sort of humor the movie is going to put you through for the next hour and a half.
The whole premise of the movie too pushes good sense out the window from the get-go. It's surprising to see such a movie do so well but this likely is because of Mel Brook's ability to tastily make fun of everyone without pushing the bar too far in any direction.
I'd say it's definitely the sort of movie you should add to your collection if you love this sort of humor. Definitely a gem in my collection. |
