I have one thing to say to all the naysayers who don't care for this movie. "Get a life" Most comedy we see and hear today have deep roots in this movie and others of this generation. Let's remember who was involved; Richard Pryor, Mel Brooks, Harvey Korman, Gene Wilder, and others equally as great. The writing, directing, and most importantly...the comic timing of this film has been plagiarized over and over. Forty years ago this year Blazing Saddles changed so many "up-tight" conventions of the day. So, watch it again. Don't forget the popcorn, and the raisinets. Pay homage to one of the greatest comedies there ever was!

That says it all. An enjoyable use of your time with lots of UN-Political Correctness, sight gags, innuendo, irreverent references to Nazis, and a most funny use of farts, blacks, politicians, and Indians set in the old west. All written, produced, acted (Hitchcock-like cameos to the max.) by a true gentleman who lived through the Holocaust. He came through it with the ability to look back at it, make fun of it, and the ability to make you remember it by satirizing it while NEVER being disrespectful.

To be racist, the belief must be held that one race is superior to all others. This movie holds no such belief. All races, sexes, ages, and stereotypes are poked and laughed at in this flick. If you find this offensive, grow some thicker skin, shut up, and quit contributing to society's social and racial inequalities. Beyond that, have a laugh at yourself and everyone else, and laugh along with every one else.
