Fun fact: During production for the film, retired longtime film star Hedy Lamarr sued Warner Bros. for $100,000, charging that the film's running parody of her name infringed on her right to privacy. Brooks said that he was flattered and chose to not fight it in court; the studio settled out of court for a small sum and an apology for "almost using her name." Brooks said that Lamarr "never got the joke." This lawsuit would be referenced by an in-film joke where Brooks' character, the Governor, tells Hedley Lamarr that "This is 1874; you'll be able to sue HER."
I still don’t completely “get” the joke but thank you for explaining it. I am 33 years old and I never had heard of Hedy Lamarr before seeing this film.
I was a kid when I saw this film the first time on cable when cable was new, around 1978. I had never seen a Hedy Lamar movie but I looked her up at the public library. No internet so I had to go look things up in the library. Don’t feel too bad, I didn’t “get” the Laurel and Hardy handshake until I was like 30! I’m not kidding that line flew over my head for over 20 years!
I find the way Lamarr cares for his underlings oddly heartwarming. He lets them speak up when they have an idea, and genuinely considers them. He shows concern when he realizes they've been injured, and expedites the execution of the one that caused it. And he comforts him when he's startled.
I was discussing Spaceballs with my son, and said "I liked it but it wasn't a classic like Blazing Saddles." He said, "Spaceballs is my generation's Blazing Saddles. You grew up with westerns, we grew up with Star Wars."
It still cracks me up too John. I don’t think there will ever be a funnier made 👍👍. “Dock that Chink a days pay” is not right but I think it’s the funniest one liner in the movie.
DR. Strangelove was actually based on a book that was a legitimate techno thriller think Tom Clancy. For Kubrick to turn it into satire is perhaps the greatest artistic decision ever by a director And yes, Slim was awesome in both rolls.
They were all so subtle with these subliminal messages I have to laugh them every time I see them let alone hear them. Pure genius writing and lots of sense of humour here.
Charles Saint Expect Boris the Hangman's eyepatch is on the left eye instead of the right eye like in this Blazing Saddles movie. Clever Brooks very clever!

This is without a doubt an absolute masterpiece and timeless classic! Never really appreciated the nuanced one liners until I saw it a few times, so rude but funny too!
You’re right there Mo. I’ve never seen a film like it before or since. I honestly think it’s the funniest film ever made. How they can put so much racist dialogue in it and make it anti racist is genius 👍👍.
@@neilhobson3624 The problem with this film nowadays is that the average wokester is too ignorant and perpetually offended to differentiate satire from actual racism.
@@neilhobson3624 In the same way that Mark Twain did in Huckleberry Finn. What most naive or uneducated people don't understand is that racist dialogue by racists in a movie, play or novel reflects the opinions of the characters that utter it, not those of the author.

There's more four-letter words and disrespectful dialogue in today's movies and TV shows than ever.

They really did! I mean I loved Cleavon and Gene together. I loved Mel Brooks and Harvey Korman together, too. But Slim and Korman for me, were the highlights. Like you said, they stole every scene they were in.
Bill Harding This absolutely could be made today. Well, actually, no, it couldn’t, because, first of all, Mel Brooks would sue you for stealing his movie, and secondly, the Western is a dead genre so there’s no point in spoofing, but what I mean is the word isn’t ‘too PC’ for it. It’s literally an anti-racist film directed by a Jewish guy and written by a black guy. Like, sure, it says the N word a bunch but like.. Tarantino gets away with it fine...

How Harvey Korman didn't get an Oscar for this is beyond reason.
"Now you men will only be risking your lives, whilst I will be risking an almost certain Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor."

That's how it works. "Snowflakes in TV land" live in your head rent free.
@@jkorshak Are you implying the "FCC" is not a big part, of what goes on, in TVLAND of the Lost Land Snatch? Hey, was not "TVLAND of the Lost Land Snatch" a "Before and After" Puzzle, on "The Wheel of Fortunate Land Snatchers"? A "Land Snatch" sounds like a Hybrid Crotch Louse. Show me your Land Snatch and i will show you mine. If your Snatch Lands on "Go to Jail", i am not Bailing your Snatch, out. My Land Snatch snatched my Wallet.
Did i mention "Snatch." Suck it, FCC. Oh, they tricked me.
