Great reaction! A lot of people don't get what SATIRE is anymore..... but so glad to see that you did!😁
Thank you!! 😁
I love that with all of the salty language in this movie, it was the word dummy that shocked her.
Blazing Saddles is arguably the greatest movie comedy ever!!! Mel Brooks played the parts of the Governor and the Indian Chief. Here are a couple of my favorites of the many great jokes. Too bad too many viewers miss these moments of incredible hilarity:
1) When you first see the new Sheriff Bart, with his Gucci fashions, he rides his horse through the desert where he encounters the Count Basie Big Band (aka The greatest band in the land!!!), playing the most-appropriately-titled song for the moment, April In Paris (a city known as the fashion capital of the world). Only Mel Brooks could come up with that!! Also, there's always background music in movies, but in this scene, it's in the foreground. 🤣🤣🤣
2) When the Chief comes up to Bart's family on the wagon train, he actually speaks Yiddish -- a language used by Jewish people in central and eastern Europe before the Holocaust. It was originally a German dialect with words from Hebrew and several modern languages and is today spoken mainly in the US, Israel, and Russia. Roughly translated, the Chief says:
"Blacks! No, no, don't be crazy. Let them go!!!! As long as you're healthy. Have you seen such a thing in your lifetime?" Then he switches to English, "They're darker than us!" 🤣🤣🤣
Mel Brooks put a spotlight on the absurdity of bigotry & made everybody laugh at it. Way to go, Mel!!!
Many people say this movie couldn't be made today; all the special interest identity groups would be offended by one thing or another.
Fun Facts: the Irish really did suffer that kind of racism at the time. It was common to see signs like "HELP WANTED - No Irish need apply."
Also the opening theme song was supposed to be a spoof of the dramatic music so many westerns opened with. The producers ran an ad saying they were looking for "a Frankie Lane type," Lane being well known for singing in many westerns. To Brooks' surprise, Lane actually applied for the job, and they accepted. He sang the entire song in a straightforward manner, not realizing it was a spoof. Mel didn't have the heart to tell him.
The studio was constantly after Brooks to cut this or that from the script. 99% of the time he _said_ "sure," then ignored him. The one time relates to the first scene between Bart and Lily (schtupp is Yiddish for stuff). The line as filmed is "is it twue what they say about you people? [zipper] It's twue! It's twue!!" Originally, Cleavon was supposed to respond "You know You're sucking on my wrist?," but Brooks cut that line.
The melee scene of the stampede is so nuts, that when the crowd breaks through the studio gates, there was some poor schmuck just walking by who got caught up in it all. They had to run him down to get him to sign the release, because he was GOING to be in the movie, like it or not!
Someone has already mentioned the story about Burton Gillian being uncomfortable the slurs, but there's also the story of Slim Pickins. Pickins, who played the forman Taggert, found his character so distasteful that he asked for something bad to happen to him - hence the smack with the shovel.
Those actors must have been simple. I don't recall Anthony Perkins or Anthony Hopkins voicing similar gripes or requesting bad things to happen to their characters because they were serial killers!! They seriously think using a racial slur is worse than stabbing someone to death?
ok.
For those who don't understand how a white actor might DETEST saying the N word to an actor he has to eat lunch with after the director yells "cut," I just don't know what to say. It must be VERY uncomfortable, to say the least, acting or no. Ralph Fiennes was so horrified when one of the survivors portrayed in Schindler's List was on the set and started shaking uncontrollably when she saw him in his Na
So glad that you understood the humor in this movie and that we didn't have to beep every time it dosn't suit UA-cam . Wonderful reaktion ! Thank you....
Yeah, it gets old when a reactor bleeps out out all the "naughty" words. That's one of the points of the movie; ridiculing racism by portraying racists as idiots.
By way way, Wilder's line "You know, morons" was ad-libbed. Little's reaction was real. Brooks liked it, so he left it in.
I saw this movie with my parents at the cinema when I was six back in the mid seventies. Didn't understand a lot of the humour at the time but it immediately became my favourite movie purely because of the camp fire bake beans scene.
We as a whole need to laugh more in life And this movie is one that makes it happen
Right on!!!!!!
Not many folk give this 10 outta 10!!!
Love this reaction
Westerns are the greatest genre, I've seen sooo many and maybe only haven't liked one. They got it all; beautiful scenery, action and adventure, family and tradition, drama and romance. This film is in it's own category. haha.
Loved the reaction. Mel Brooks is a genius, this was a parody of old Hollywood westerns and he used racism in a comedy to show the stupidity of it. The movie has many dated things which can be looked up, but one of my favorites is when the Sherriff is coming into town he is met by the popular Count Basie band, one of the best jazz/swing bands ever, and of course 'outisde' of town. In town he is met bu the town band, not the same lol. Little things like this show the absurdity of racism, yet it still was embraced and used in society and Hollywood. Thanks for reacting!
I’m must be dense. I didn’t catch the importance of Count Basie. Now it makes sense. 😊
I've always gotten upset when people accuse this movie of being racist. The only group this film genuinely.mocks, and honestly is pretty mean to.... are racist rednecks. Racism is itself mocked in this film.
It is a sincerely anti racist film. That is part of its genius.
@@helensarkisian7491 I could never figure out why the Count was out in the middle of nowhere but hey, it's Mel Brooks so random is always a possibility and I just rolled with it.
"I can't STOP laughing!" = Best description of a Mel Brooks movie!
"Mongo" was played by Alex Karras, who was a 4-time All-Pro defensive tackle for the Detroit Lions back in the 1960s. Great reaction! Good luck with your channel!
Seeing a young one like you laugh for me it's pure joy
My favorite exchange: "Nietzsche says, out of chaos come order." "Oh, blow it out your ass, Howard."
One of the other greats in the film was Slim Pickens, who played Taggart. He was one of the most iconic characters in Dr. Strangelove, a truly iconic movie that you owe it to yourself to watch if you haven't yet!
Mel Brooks is speaking Yiddish to Bart's family in the wagon train. Mel also appears as the Governor and as the "Hollywood Director" in Hedy Lamarr's line-up of cut-throats and ne'er-do-wells.
I saw this moving way back when it first came out in movie theaters all over the country. Mel Brooks and Richard Pryor did an amazing job of mocking all forms of racism, prejudices, bias, and stupid excuses to hate others. It was brilliant. I have probably seen it over twenty times. The brilliant actor who played the sheriff was Cleavon Little. He was a highly educated, brilliant stage and screen actor. We lost him way too soon at age 52, He died of colon cancer around 1993. Mel brooks has written many bold and honest mockeries of all kinds of moronic prejudices. He actually created the famous Broadway live show which featured a dance and singing chorus line of men dress in old Prussian/German Army Officer uniforms. They sang a number called "Springtime for Hitler". Mel Brooks was Jewish and had powerful reasons to mock cruelty and bias of that time. You did a great job of reacting.
"They lose me right after the bunker scene..." Best throwaway line in movie history.
I love watching reactions to Blazing Saddles, a movie we got to watch in a rotation of 5 movies at high school over winter. And you are the first reaction I've seen thst didn't bleep out a certain word starting with N. Well done... ❤
'Mongo! Santa Maria!' is a joke most modern viewers miss. Mongo Santamaria was a popular Cuban bandleader around the time the movie was made.
I’m not a modern viewer but I have never heard of Mongo Santamaria.
@@mildredpierce4506 ua-cam.com/video/bUvj9qYP_JA/v-deo.html
@@mildredpierce4506Mongo Santamaria isn’t modern. Like 50 years ago.
And the Laurel and Hardy is missed by almost everybody.
As some one else noted the chief was Mel Brooks and those lines were in Yiddish. A language common to many Jews from easrern Europs that had bits of Hebrew blended with other languages of Europe. that last phase translates to go and be well.
It’s refreshing to see someone react to this that gets humor. Great job!
The Indian Chief is speaking a language called Yiddish. It absurd but hilarious seen.
This was a nice reaction. A little different than the average IMO. Laughed at or was shocked at some odd scenes compared to usual, but you weren't overly offended about things or super censoring and understood it was a comedy.
Mel Brooks invented the 5th wall in this movie.
Then broke that to.
hello, the GOV is being played by the Director/writer of the Movie Mel Brooks
Something to note is that Burton Gilliam or Lyle (cowboy dressed in black and red) had an issue with using the N-word towards his fellow actors. It wasn’t until Cleavon Little (Sherriff Bart) and some of the others assured him that it was just a script and knew he wasn’t at all like the type of person he was portraying.
Also Richard Pryor wrote a lot of the script alongside Mel Brooks and some others.
Slim Pickens wouldn't say it either unless his character suffered punishment for it so the shovel to the back of the head scene was written in.
Wow I didn't know that.
It reminds me of an interview with Topher Grace when he played David Duke in The BlacKKKlansman, he said how there were times when Spike Lee would whisper dialog that was a little bit different from the script in his ear, but he thought would be better, and the things he was telling him to say were so racist that Topher started insisting he say them to the whole room because he wanted to make sure no one thought he came up with them!
I was in tears from laughing,not from the film,but from Your expression,sweet girl are You.. :-)
😊 thank you
My ALL TIME FAVORITE COMEDY! Makes fun of everyone!
The Indian chief, played by Mel Brooks, is speaking Yiddish--which is really a dialect of German. "Auf wiedersehen" means goodbye in German.
Fun fact legend Richard Pryor wrote the lines for the whites
... it was a genuine pleasure to watch you react. I'll be back ... ... props on the very important Editing
That was fun. I really enjoyed your enjoyment, I was laughing along with you. I like the technique you use to avoid copyright strikes too.
“That’s where we go riding into town… a whompin and a whompin!”..
Lol..
This movie has made the List of ALL TIME great COMEDIES. This was an early anti-racists films
Richard Pryor, who I loved as a teen, helped write the script and it was his DEMAND that they put all the N-words and other racist terms (Notice the city folks didnt want the IRISH?)
Pryor said "Man..they say this (several racial terms) to our faces all day long so we need to show the world how bad they are....."
SO Brooks (A jew) and Pryor made this and gave a great message- Beat racism with humor!
in barts story about the wagon train mel brooks playing the siux chief He is saying "Loz im geyn!" which is Yiddish for let him go.
He also says “cop a walk,” which is hilarious..
The western part of the movie supposed to be from 1874 and Gucci did not exist at the time. Gucci went into business in the early 1900s.
Other things that did not exist in 1874 but were mentioned in this movie are Howard Johnson ice cream parlor (Howard Johnson was an ice cream parlor chain before it became a hotel chain) and Randolph Scott
And Jesse Owens
Indeed, Gucci did not exist then, since the founder wasn’t even born until 1881. Gucci has been chic for a long time, but not quite _that_ long. 😄
Parody is now an extinct art. Peace, Love!!
Excellent reactions. You did a wonderful job of commenting with humor and intelligence. I am very proud to become a subscriber today. Best of luck on building your channel. One bit of advice. If you happen to know an elderly grandparent or friend, you will get a lot of the many double meaning comments that only an older person would recognize. Just about every sentence in this movie has really good references to events and sayings from history. You would have immediate explanations of what every reference means and the older person with you would have a great time. You are a lovely young lady with great reactions.
This movie is a comedy classic 🤣!
Good luck with the channel. This is your first video I've seen. It's great, loads of fun. Stick with it. Keep uploading. From UK.
Thank you so much
they closed off the street for the scene of him leaving the studio and that old man kept wandering back in to watch that Mel had someone have him sign a waver for the scene
Ah ha! So that’s how to get into the pictures! 😄
I trust that Sheray will see this comment:
If you are interested in doing a deep dive into the legend and lore of the movie "Blazing Saddles," I'll guarantee you there are volumes of items to be found on the 'web.
A few of the highlights:
The king of the celluloid cowboys, John Wayne, was asked to be in this movie. Wayne declined when he found out it was going to be a satire on the Western movies genre, as Wayne was being protective of his on-screen image. But, supposedly he gave Mel Brooks a wink-and-nod with wishing him well with the movie.
Richard Pryor was suppose to be Sheriff Bart in the movie, but Pryor being a bit [ahem!] _unstable_ at the time, getting insurance on him was a no-go, so Cleavon Little was brought in for the part.
Gig Young was suppose to play the part of the jailed drunk, the Waco Kid. But, it turned out that Young had a real drinking problem and was dismissed from the role, so Gene Wilder was brought in at a moment's notice.
The introduction song to this movie, sung by Frankie Laine, well-renown for singing in Western movies and the "Rawhide" TV series, had no clue the movie he was singing for was a satire.
When Mel Brooks was developing the script for Blazing Saddles, with Richard Pryor collaborating on the project, supposedly Brooks was hesitant using the racist n slur word in the movie. Pryor insisted that the word had to be used in the movie.
The above covers some of the background highlights of Blazing Saddles; there's a whole lot more that can be found on the web.
*Postscript:*
However, when returning to this YT video after originally posting the above comment, I've noticed there are newer comments to this section that are contributing to the lore of Blazing Saddles, so it looks like there will be many that will contribute additional background info about the movie and the principals involved.
Sheray: Your sense of humor with accepting the premise of Blazing Saddles is much appreciated.
Some films are legends for a reason.
I think the secret to how this ended up ao insanely good is that frankly, they shoehorned and embarrassment of riches in terms of comedy talent.
Its a Mel Brooks film for starters. I will have to argue Mel as the greatest American comedy film maker. Ever. At his worst, his films are still funny. At his best, he lands several entries on the greatest comedies of all time list. But as good as he is, a comedy genius even, he always understands rhe value of good collaborators... hwnce the stack of ckmedy talent crammed in here.
Richard Pryor was a cowritrr ffs.
Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder, Madeiline Khan, Harvey Koreman, Slim Pickens... the entire cast os fantastic with several comedy legends in the credits.
So you put that much comedy talent into a film, and approach it with just no limits, nothing taboo....
You get one of the greatest comedies of all time.
A very wild wild west reaction 🤠!
Plot 📝:
On the American frontier of 1874, a new railroad under construction will have to be rerouted through the town of Rock Ridge to avoid quicksand. Realizing this will make Rock Ridge worth millions, territorial attorney general Hedley Lamarr plans to force Rock Ridge's residents out of the town and sends a gang of thugs, led by his flunky Taggart, to shoot the sheriff and trash the town.
The townspeople demand that Governor William J Le Petomane appoint a new sheriff to protect them. Lamarr persuades dim-witted Le Petomane to appoint Bart, a Black railroad worker about to be executed for assaulting Taggart. A Black sheriff, Lamarr reasons, will offend the townspeople, create chaos, and leave Rock Ridge at his mercy.
After an initial hostile reception (Bart takes himself "hostage" to escape), he relies on his quick wits and the assistance of Jim, an alcoholic gunslinger known as the "Waco Kid", to overcome the townspeople's hostility. Bart subdues Mongo, an immensely strong and dim-witted, yet philosophical henchman sent to kill him, then outwits German seductress-for-hire Lili Von Shtupp at her own game, with Lili falling in love with him.
Upon release, Mongo vaguely informs Bart of Lamarr's connection to the railroad, so Bart and Jim visit the railroad worksite and discover from Bart's best friend Charlie that the railway is planned to go through Rock Ridge. Taggart and his men arrive to kill Bart, but Jim outshoots them and forces their retreat. Lamarr, furious that his schemes have backfired, recruits an army of thugs, including common criminals, motorcycle gangsters, Ku Klux Klansmen, Nazis, and Methodists.
East of Rock Ridge, Bart introduces the White townspeople to the Black, Chinese, and Irish railroad workers who have all agreed to help them in exchange for acceptance by the community, and explains his plan to defeat Lamarr's army. They labor all night to build a perfect copy of the town as a diversion. When Bart realizes it will not fool the villains, the townsfolk construct copies of themselves.
Bart, Jim, and Mongo buy time by constructing the "Gov. William J. Le Petomane Thruway", forcing the raiding party to send for change to pay the toll. Once through the tollbooth, the raiders attack the fake town and its population of dummies, which have been booby trapped with dynamite. After Jim detonates the bombs with his sharpshooting, launching bad guys and horses skyward, the Rock Ridgers attack the villains.
The resulting brawl between townsfolk, railroad workers, and Lamarr's thugs literally breaks the fourth wall and bursts onto a neighboring movie set, where director Buddy Bizarre is filming a Busby Berkeley-style top-hat-and-tails musical number; the then spreads into the studio commissary for a food fight, and spills out of the Warner Bros. film lot onto the streets of Burbank.
Lamarr, realizing he has been beaten, hails a taxi and orders the cabbie to "drive me off this picture". He ducks into Mann's Chinese Theatre, which is showing the premiere of Blazing Saddles. As he settles into his seat, he sees onscreen Bart arriving on horseback outside the theatre. Bart blocks Lamarr's escape and shoots him in the groin. Bart and Jim then enter the theater to watch the end of the film, in which Bart announces to the townspeople that he is moving on because his work is done (and because he is bored).
Riding out of town, he finds Jim, still eating his popcorn, and invites him along to "nowhere special". The two friends briefly ride into the desert before dismounting and boarding a limousine, which drives off into the sunset.

Good to see someone react to this who hasn't got thin skin
saw this when it first came out. had no idea except we knew Mel Brooks was nuts. Saw it in a drive-in when I was 18. This was 1974, so was a teenager in the 1960s-early 70s. Almost as intense as nowadays. "Laugh-in", Mash, All In the Family, and other stuff been on TV. Anyway, first time watching this is kind of like being a Rocky Horror Picture Show Virgin. And back in the day, we got almost all the jokes first time around.
Brooks originally wanted comedian and screenwriter Richard Pryor as the lead, but Warner Bros. said no, as Pryor had something of a bad reputation at the time because of his drinking and drug use. But he still managed to impress Gene Wilder... so much so that, a few years later, after being offered the lead in *Silver Streak* ,he insisted on Pryor as his co-star... or he wouldn't do it. The movie became a hit, and the pair made three more comedies together.
Richard Pryor was still apart of this movie he wrote all of Mongo's lines.
@@insanehippiehippieinsane3828 Well, of course he was...it wouldn't have been the same movie without him!
This movie will be a classic throughout time.
Slim Pickens plays Taggert, and he’s amazing.. I recommend Dr Strangelove (or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb) highly.. Another dark comedy/satire about nuclear Armageddon, by Stanley Kubrick.. With Slim Pickens and many others..
Young Frankenstein, another Mel Brooks movie with Gene Wilder, came out the same year.
"Our town is turning into sh*t". One of my favorite hymns. Duck 3:16.
I still don’t know why they left the Gospel of Duck out of the NT. Seems like a bit of a dodge on their behalf.
the man o0n a horse being hung refers to Hung like a horse
I'm glad you enjoyed this Mel Brooks basically took every bad aspect of humans and made it obvious and hilarious
1. Mel Brooks played the Governor, the Indian Chief and the voice of Hitler saying, "They lose me after the bunker scene."
2. Mel Brooks doesn't just break the 4th wall he shatters, steps on and grinds it into the ground.
3. The preacher/Liam Dunn also plays in Young "Frankenstein" as Mr. Hilltop. Madeline Kahn also had a role in it.
4. Imagine how much fun this was to make.🤣🤣🤣🤣
5. The line, "You know morons" was ad lib by Wilder. Little's reaction was real.
6. The guy that was supposed to play Jim showed up the first day drunk so he was let go.
Wilder agreed to do this movie for Mel Brooks only if Mel would direct "Young Frankenstein" for him.
7. Richard Pryor was supposed to play Bart, but he was going through his addictions at the time, and they thought it wouldn't be a good idea. However, he did some of the writing.
8. Jim still has his popcorn from the theater.
Movie suggestion "Young Frankenstein" with Gene Wilder
Every single time I see Gene Wilder go.......yeah but I shoot with this hand....I laugh out loud.
Mel Brooks didn’t say the Hitler line as you stated.
Listen to it again. His voice is distinctive.@@Center1240
"Rustler's Rhapsody" is another good comedy western. "My Demon Lover" and "Nice Girls Don't Explode" are decent very low budget comedies. "The Godfather" is a great crime movie. "Critters" and "Big Ass Spider" for for comedy horror. John Carpenter's "The Thing" and "12 Monkeys" for science fiction. "Face Off" for action and "The Killer" for a fantastic Chinese action movie. "Akira" for a great anime, and the original English version is well done.
During this era in history weed wasn't illegal or cocaine they did use them for medical purposes.
Back when soft drinks were “medicinal”. 😄
You should do a reaction to Young Frankenstein, another Mel Brooks movie. Gene Wilder is great. It's the only Mel Brooks movie that Mel Brooks isn't part of the cast.
"Auf wiedesehen" is German for "until we meet again" or "goodbye." The "w" is pronounced like a "v" and the "sehen" sounds more like "zain."
Both the governor and the Sioux chief were played by Mel Brooks, who is famous (some would say notorious) for appearing in his own movies. Mel Brooks is Jewish and lost most of his family in the holocaust, so he never misses a chance to stick it to Hitler or to anyone who stereotypes Jews. Given that _Blazing Saddles_ is a movie about the racism that was rampant in Western movies and television shows (the most popular genre of the day), there was no way he was going to leave the Jews out. Very few native Americans in Westerns were actually played by native Americans; they knew when they were being patronized or villified and weren't willing to play along. So producers would frequently hire Jewish actors to play native Americans, because they perceived Jews to have swarthy complexions. So here we have Mel Brooks, a Jew, portraying the Sioux chief, who is speaking Yiddish and German.
Italians, too. In those old Westerns, the First Nations were surprisingly Mediterranean.
I adore the fact that you get it! You’re darling!
Just in case it wasn't clear, the more racist the character, the dumber they are. And the racist white characters in the town that get to know Bart, end up liking him and accepting the Chinese, blacks, Irish, etc. Back in those days, the N word was used a lot to poke fun at racists.
Oh, and the co-writer was the black comedian Richard Pryor. So a more-modern equivalent would be like white people using the N word on the Dave Chapelle show, where he wrote the script making them say the word as part of the skit.
When Brooks was having doubts, Pryor even reassured him that he should have them say it, because those characters in that time period _would_ say it. Pryor definitely knew what he was talking about. If you’re making the racists the punchline, you can’t really have the racists pull those punches.
To answer one question, no, Gucci wasn't founded until, I think, 1921.
Yeah, and the Gucci who founded it wasn’t even born until 1881.
GLAD YOU HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR.
Mel Brooks feels the best way for him to fight evil is to expose it for its stupidity and laugh it. So the movie embraces the racism to show the town is full of, well, morons and how stupid, self-defeating, and ludicrous their racism is. They get better: they even let the Irish live with them.
Mel Brooks also plays the Indian chief. He is speaking Yiddish, a form of German used by Jews (like Brooks). He says Auf Wiedersehn or Goodbye.
A vertical swinging bar is also called a gate. Like a (railroad) crossing gate.

some of the best comedies are "westerns" and mel brooks sure knows how to do comedies. just give him an idea and he'll give you a hit. even though he's nearing 100.. 😊
Incredible reaction! So funny!
Lily von Schtup is a play on the Yiddish word schtupping, which means screwing.
Mel Brooks is playing the Indian chief ... He is speaking Yiddish, the joke being a) Back in the "golden age", the studios hired a lot of minor actors of Eastern European Jewish descent to play Native American roles, rather than actual Native Americans .... and b) A Native American is speaking Yiddish (a language of Eastern European Jews) on the American Frontier in the mid-1800's ..... The rough translation is:
Shvartzas! = Blacks!
(The word schwarz = black, as in color, in German... Yiddish has many elements of German. "Shvartza" in Yiddish = Black person, somewhat derogatory, but it is NOT the "N" word)
No, No, zayt nisht meshuge! = No, No, Don't be crazy!
Loz im geyn! = Let them go!
Abi gezunt = As long as you're healthy
Hosti gezen in dayne lebn? = Have you seen such a thing? (or, sorta, Have you ever seen such a thing in your life?)... and then in English: They're darker than us!
And... Lilly Von Shtupp. Again, Yiddish/German ... Shtupp = doing the nasty, as in "He's shtupping his secretary on the side".
Like Monty Python, this was Meta before it was even a thing. Brilliant!
ooh, a very beautiful woman who "reacts" to some of my favorite movies! subscribed 🙂
Lili Von Shtupp. Shtupp is a Yiddish word for sexual intercourse. More accurately would translate to the F bomb. While I was growing up, I heard this word, among other Yiddish from my family, quite often. Probably used so I didn't have to hear vulgar words. They were very careful to not swear in front of me.
Oy, native Americans who speak Yiddish. Hollywood would hire just about ANY ethnicity actor to play Indians, hence the joke. Jewish actors played a LOT of Indians back in the day
Every once in a while the sanitized, "G" rated, version of Blazing Saddles will air on TV [US]. Once you've been familiarized with the original version of Blazing Saddles, it is interesting to see all the cleaning up of the profanity and slang that was done in the G-rated version that was edited for over-the-air TV.
If you like Star Wars then give Spaceballs a look. It’s by the same director, Mel Brooks. If you want to watch some westerns I would suggest Rio Bravo or A dollar to die for - two very different westerns, but they will give some idea of the wide variety in the genre. For an older comedy western try Mclontock.
My mistake. It should be Mclintock.
Wow. You knew Howard Johnson's! Cool.
This Movie is a Classic, Due to "Peoples Feelings" you couldnt Make this move today, and that kida sad, but great reation Ive watched this Movie All My live (It and I are the same age lol) and it was great watching a younger generation enjoy a Movie from My childhood. thank you
The Indian Chief was speaking Yiddish.
You're a beautiful person, loved watching you crack up over this classic racial satire, thumbs up!!
Mongo used to play in the NFL.
albeitazen is German for farewell
The funniest movie ever 😂😂
❤❤❤
I think you should watch "The Harder They Fall" (2021) here's the Wikipedia brief description:
"The Harder They Fall is a 2021 American Western film directed by Jeymes Samuel (in his feature directorial debut), who co-wrote the screenplay with Boaz Yakin. The film stars Jonathan Majors, Idris Elba, Zazie Beetz, Regina King, Delroy Lindo, Lakeith Stanfield, RJ Cyler, Danielle Deadwyler, Edi Gathegi, and Deon Cole. It is one of few Westerns whose principal cast members are all black. Its characters are based on real cowboys, lawmen, and outlaws of the nineteenth-century American West. "
It's one of the best movies I've ever seen. Such an underrated film, and the music is out of this world, unlike any music in any western you'll ever see. This movie is one of a kind.
No Gucci back then - - not, I think, for about another 50 years. This movie is set in 1874 and I think Gucci started in the 1920s or so.
New subscriber!! Awesome
If you like this movie, I suggest another... but it requires you to watch a _lot_ of other movies first. So, in order, watch the following (with the one at the end being the point of the list):
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (optional as long as you know what Indiana Jones looks like)
Star Trek III: The Search For Spock (optional as long as you're familiar with 'beaming' in Star Trek generally, and 'Scottie' as a character, both of which will will be shown in this one movie)
Star Wars: A New Hope (the more recent versions as found on Disney+ and similar, basically any version re-released after 1997, watching "Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi" are optional... though, honestly, they're all worth watching)
The Wizard of Oz
Planet of the Apes (1968)
Alien
Spaceballs
Every movie on that list from Star Wars on is worth watching for itself, independently of Spaceballs (and in part why the first two are listed as optional), by which I mean I think you might enjoy them _regardless_ of whether you watch Spaceballs or not. _However,_ your enjoyment of Spaceballs will be enhanced by watching all of those other movies and keeping them in mind when you watch Spaceballs, because Spaceballs references _all_ of them, to one extent or another.
Other movies that might be really good for you (that aren't on your UA-cam channel so far) due to them being comedies:
Hot Shots, Top Secret!, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Young Frankenstein, Loaded Weapon 1, Scary Movie, Last Action Hero, The Naked Gun (all three of them), Shaun of the Dead, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and The Ref.
As to your question about Gucci... no, it wasn't around. The events take place around 1874, Gucci was founded in 1921.
"...abi gezunt? What does that even mean?..."
It's a Jewish phrase, Hebrew language (which, of course, has no business coming out of the mouth of a Native American, kinda the point, but then said Native American was played by Mel Brooks, a very much white man who is... Jewish!). It means "As long as you're healthy [you can be happy]".
"...ain't no way in the world he's smoking a joint..."
Why not? Marijuana was legal in the USA prior to 1937... when it was rendered illegal, according to the person who pushed for it, because it was used mainly by non-whites, induced violent behavior and insanity in these minorities, and that white women smoking it would lead to them having sex with black men. The history of this garbage is _insane._ Sort of like why circumcision came back after not being practiced for centuries because one guy wanted to prevent his kid from masturbating, not for any religious reason.
"...he said Lily von... I don't even know..."
Shtup. It means 'to have sex with'. It's Yiddish.
"...is that a piece of sausage?..."
Schnitzel gruben, a reversing of 'grubenschnitzel', which doesn't mean anything but sounds vaguely German. Not much in use these days.
Schnitzel, of course, is a thin cutlet, but most times what those in English speaking countries mean is a thin bit of meat that's been breaded and fried. Can be really good stuff, if the breading is done right, or if there's a sauce with it, sometimes pickled red cabbage, and so on. The problem being that if it's done _badly,_ it's a horror show. I'm fortunate enough to live in a city that has an Austrian restaurant, so the schnitzel is... fantastic. And it's not even a big city! (Less than a quarter million people.) Decent schnitzel (not _good,_ but, y'know, okay) is not that hard to make, either... as long as you're good with breading stuff and making a mess.
Good reaction!
Have a nice day!
Actually, not from Star Wars on....
The best movie up there is before Star Wars, Star Trek III. Star Wars was good as was the Empire Strikes Back. For me though, the appearance of the Ewoks in the Return of the Jedi, ruined the whole franchise. Originally, they were supposed to be Wookies, not Ewoks, but Landis felt they had made Chewbacca to sophisticated for it to work. Poppycock!! Just because Chewbacca was more sophisticated didn't mean his home world had to be.

If you were watching the originals, you needed Return of the Jedi in order to get Spaceballs, since one major driving character didn't appear until then. I'll agree the Ewoks are a bunch of BS, though. The movie is still overall worthwhile, and not nearly as bad as the prequels or the flaming-hot garbage of the sequels.
I don't disagree. You're right, there. My main point was that I liked Star Trek III more. That just reminded me of the absolute abortion that was the introduction of the Ewoks into a franchise that up until that point, I loved. And yes, the Star Wars franchise has been destroyed by the sequels, especially the most recent ones. They seem to get worse and worse. Whatever happened to the philosophy of giving the fans what they want, instead of stuffing ideological BS down their throats. I watch Fantasy/sci-fi to escape that garbage..

Movie makers are beholden to the people who put up the initial money to make the movies. The audience isn't paying for these movies, they're paid for by corporations. 30% of all the money Disney uses to make movies comes from one company (insurance, I think). In order to get that money, the company requires they push a DEI agenda. It'll keep happening because the audience no longer matters, and the companies funding these garbage flops don't depend on the movies doing well to make money as their main business, where their money comes from, has nothing to do with movies. Our movies are bought and paid for by corporations that don't care about the product or how well it does.
Like much in the world, the rich are running things and regular people... don't really matter.
It’s a great flicker that works on many levels.. Yes, the racial comedic component is there, but it’s a great parody of westerns, too, they lampoon pop icon references constantly, the music.. lol..
Glad you bought in, it’s worth it..
Nahree krucker kruker fer da cee dough.
Do Steve Martin's movie "The Jerk"
An amazing comedy and a wonderful tear down of racist morons. Cleavon Little is extremely charismatic.
Hello
I just looked it up and Gucci wasn’t invented until 1921 so no, it didn’t exist yet
Thanks for not editing out the n word. Reactors bleep it out and it totally loses the impact of the humor and point the movie is making about what has been real and how ridiculous racism is.
The movie was so stupid that I doubt I've seen it more than a couple dozen times.
Oh, there’s no fooling us. Just admit it, you’ve seen this movie 25 times.
