How do you drive out the townfolk in order to steal their land? Send in the toughest gang you've gotand 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! Reader Reviews I have owned this film in all its formats, but watching it on a 1080p TV in Blu-ray gave me extra reasons to laugh. Even though I have memorized the dialog, I saw things in this version I hadn't seen in any other version formatted for TV. This movie was already on my top 10 favorites, Blu-ray just kicked it up. It was definitely worth buying the Blu-ray version.
