Summary: not as funny after repeated viewings
Comment: Lets kill every oldest son, nah too jewish.
Maybe this has been on cable way too much, or times have changes, but this just is not as funny as i remember it being. True, it could never be made today given the racial sensitivity of our PC era, but some of the jokes are just not all that funny. That said, Slim Pickens is the best part of this whole movie, every scene with him still shines.

Summary: great
Comment: I bought this movie for my husband's birthday, and he loves it. Amazon was fast, inexpensive and easy to use.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Incredible picture quality on blu-ray!
Comment: I didn't have high expectations for picture/sound quality of Blazing Saddles on blu-ray. I mean, it's such an old movie, how good could it be?
I was actually shocked to find it has excellent picture quality ...amazing picture quality, considering the movie was filmed in 1974! The edges are sharp, the colors are rich, I have never seen Blazing Saddles like this before. The audio is also very good.
If you're a Mel Brooks fan, this one is well worth getting on blu-ray.
Customer Rating:
Summary: One of the funniest movies ever made
Comment: You can't go wrong having this movie in your collection. It is funny every time you watch it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Mel Brooks flick
Comment: This movie is just as funny as it was when it first came out over 30 yrs ago. I decided to get the DVD after several years of having 1 liners from the movie coming up in casual conversation. This is a classic and only Mel Brooks could produce a movie that mocks racism this way. Executive at studios today would probably be afraid to release a movie like this.

Editorial Reviews:
|
The railroad's got to run through the town of Rock Ridge. How do you drive out the townfolk in order to steal their land? Send in the toughest gang you've got...and name a new sheriff who'll last about 24 hours. But that's not really the plot of Blazing Saddles, just the pretext. Once Mel Brooks' lunatic film - many call it his best - gets started, logic is lost in a blizzard of gags, jokes, quips, puns, howlers, growlers and outrageous assaults upon good taste or any taste at all. Cleavon Little as the new lawman, Gene Wilder as the wacko Waco Kid, Brooks himself as a dim-witted politico and Madeline Kahn in her Marlene Dietrich send-up that earned an Academy Award nomination all give this sagebrush saga their lunatic best. And when Blazing Saddles can't contain itself at the finale, it just proves the Old West will never be the same!
