The film "Blazing saddles" could NOT have been made today.

Excellent observation! Sadly, you're right.

YOU ARE SOOOOOOOO FREAKEN RIGHT ON DUDE!!!!!...

Bart: [the townfolk aren't happy to find out that their new sheriff is black. They begin to load their guns and point them at him. Bart then points his own pistol at his head] Hold it! Next man makes a move, the nigger gets it!
Olson Johnson: Hold it, men. He's not bluffing.
Dr. Sam Johnson: Listen to him, men, he's just crazy enough to do it!
Bart: Drop it! Or I swear I'll blow this nigger's head all over this town!
Bart: Oh, lo'dy, lo'd, he's despit! Do what he sayyyy, do what he sayyyy...
[the townfolk drop their guns. Bart jams the gun into his neck and drags himself through the crowd and towards the station]
Harriett Van Johnson: Isn't anybody going to help that poor man?
Dr. Sam Johnson: Hush, Harriet, that's a sure way to get him killed!
Bart: Oooh! He'p me, he'p me! Somebody he'p me! He'p me! He'p me! He'p me!
Bart: Shut up!
[places his hand over his mouth, drags himself through the door into his office]

One of the funniest films ever made in my opinion and helped by having Richard Pryor as one of the head writers.

I agree with you on it not being possible to make the film as is today because of the PC police.

Looney Tunes cartoons are not ok today.

Great movie!

A tribute.

You are probably right it would ruffle a few feathers.

LOL! I love that scene!

Howard Johnson's right!!!

Yeah: the entire movie's a classic... but I still kinda' like the line where Bart says '...pardon me, while I whip this out...' and then pulls a piece of paper from his pants!


Hell, I'm gonna log off and go watch it again... I could use a few good bellylaughs!!

Other funny lines (from memory, not exact)

"The sheriff is a ni(bell ringing)er" "What'd he say?" "He said, the sheriff is NEAR"

"What are your qualifications?"
"Assault, murder, rape, cattle-rustling, horse thieving, rape" "Wait a minute. You said 'rape' twice." "I like rape!"

"Excuse me while I.... whip this out!". (Should be said by every man as he steps up to a urinal)

"Is it twue what they say about black men?.....OH! It's twue!, it's twue!"

Candygram for Mongo!
