Never Give A Saga An Even Break!
"My name is Jim, but most people call me... Jim." And while Blazing Saddles is deliriously funny, most people call it deliriously funnier, thanks to this special, extras-packed 30th-Anniversary Edition.
Filmmaker, star and paddle-ball wiz Mel Brooks goes way out West and way out of his mind with a spiffy spoof set in an 1874 Old West where 1974 Hollywood is just one soundstage away - and where nonstop fun blasts prejudices to the high comedy heavens. Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder, Slim Pickens, Harvey Korman, Madeline Kahn and more join for horseplay and horselaughs, making Blazing Saddles the #6 choice among the American Film Institute's Top-100 Comedies. Give these out to the boys in lieu of pay. And enjoy.

Glorious, simply glorious! - 4.25 out of 5 (7/6/2004)
Number 6 on the American Film Institutes top 100 comedies of all time?
Well, that just ain't a lot of beans talking back at you. In fact BLAZING SADDLES ranks as one of the best spoofs of all time. It's a movie that isn't afraid to break a few rules, it plays well time and time again and it will most likely go down in history as Mel Brook's best film.
But as always, there is a story behind the story and BLAZING SADDLES almost didn't get made at all. The original script was co-written by
