    It wasn't his gun that they were worried about Sheriff Bart whipping out.
    Lilli Von Schtupp was a parody of Marlene Dietrich a singer from the 1940's. Madeline Kahn is a very good singer and had to practice singing off key to play the part.
    Once you have seen the space movies like Star Wars, Alien, Star Trek , Planet of the Apes, etc you need to watch Spaceballs on your Mel Brooks journey.

    The ENTIRE movie is a satire - which if you don't get it, will make the movie seem unbelievably offensive. Mel Brooks had relatives who died in the Holocaust and was very attuned to the devastating effects of prejudice. This movie was his attempt (a very brilliant attempt) to make as much fun of this as a way (by going way over the top) to combat it.

    Blazing Saddles made cinematic history in that it was the first movie to show farting on screen.
    Back then farting was considered extremely low class and highly vulgar.
    Much, much more than today.
    It was so taboo no director or actor would ever consider doing it in a movie.
    In fact, when Mr. Brooks informed the actor who was to fart first in that scene the actor almost walked off the set in fear he would be black balled from Hollywood and never allowed to work again.
    It took some serious negotiating by Mr. Brooks to convince the actor to stay and do the scene.

      If you don't know Marlene Dietrich, and young folks today mostly don't, then the entire sequence seems like a non sequitur. It's not particularly funny otherwise that a woman sings in a dull baritone. A lot of the references in Blazing Saddles are lost on later generations. The main running joke of the movie requires a viewer to know who Hedy Lamarr was!

With contemporary or historical references of any kind, with social mores, with language conventions or slang, with fashion, with musical styles, with technology. Many things risk being "dated" the instant they are cemented into a film. But then Mel also was satirizing things that were "old" even when Blazing Saddles was new. The point is, seasoned fans need to imagine how this reads to a young person of the current century just getting their feet wet in older movies.

    So, there was a German actress, mostly active in the 1930's through the 1950's named Marlene Dietrich. Madeline Kahn is doing a sendup of her, not Marilyn Monroe. Marlene Dietrich often played burnt-out saloon singers. She fled from the Nazis and became a star in Hollywood.

    Modern viewers tend to look at this and think you can't get away with things like it today, with the many N-words and certain jokes, but the truth is they almost didn't get away with it when the movie was new either. The studio executives were horrified by it and tried to cut so many things from it, but luckily Brooks and the others managed to fight for them and keep them. Some have credited the movie with ending the older, "cleaner" Western genre and pushing it to more realism

    Sure, but there's also a comic anachronism, here. See, these events are based in the year 1874 and this song is from sixty years later. Mel Brooks is _very_ fond of comic anachronisms. They pop up over and over again in his work.

Like when Bart looked at the camera and said "and they are so dumb!" after the taking himself hostage!! Or when Hedley looks at the camera and says "why am I asking you?"
    BUT What Mel Brooks did in THIS movie was basically DROPPED a NUCLEAR bomb on the 4th wall.😮😮

    When they start singing at the railroad track, the joke never lands with anyone these days. The song and style of singing didn't exist when the film is set, in the late 1800's. It's as if they started rapping or broke into a Beyonce song. People just assume they're really good singers, and there's no joke.

    The scene where the Sheriff holds the gun to his head conflicts two racist tropes. One is the dangerous black man that is violent and brutal, the other is the idea of black people as essentially child like and in need of the white man's protection. Since he combines those two tropes in one person the people of the town cannot work against one without endangering the other. Their racism and simplistic thinking prevents them from figuring out that they are being tricked.

      Simultaneously acting like a minority is somehow both weak and pathetic, but also an immensely dangerous threat? Sounds all too familiar to some of today's fearmongering, and some back in the 1940's too. I guess it never goes out of style.

    11:31 "No, literally. Everybody's name is 'Johnson.'"
    That was often how it was in the old west, with small towns starting up, here and there. Until the First World War, most people didn't move around too much. So people would move to a small western town, settle and just _live_ there.
    Now, in a marriage, it was the norm for the woman to take the man's last name and for their _kids_ to have it as well. As that happened, over successive generations, one particular last name would come to dominate.
    It would change from town to town. "Johnson" would be the popular last name that took over _one_ town, but something like "Porter" would be the popular last name that would come to take over the _next._

    Most of the actors playing cowboys were notable western actors, which at the time had been one of the dominant genres on screen and television. Taggart (the henchman) was played by Slim Pickens, who was very famous. You can actually see him in "Doctor Strangelove" as well. The other guy (Lyle, with the teeth, as you said) was played by Burt Gilliam, another famous western actor. Behind the scenes he had real trouble calling Cleavon Little the N-word, and had to be assured that he didn't take it personally.

    My first time seeing your channel, and of course, with it being Blazing Saddles, I just HAD to watch it with you. A few things I would like to say, first off you got a "Like" as soon as I realized you were letting "the language" fly. Most Reaction channels that watch this movie shy away from that. I grew up during the era this movie is from, in fact, I was 8 years old when it released, and was allowed to watch it. I mean, I grew up on television shows like "All in the Family", "Chico and The Man", "The Jeffersons", "MASH", everything by Sid and Marty Krofft, as well as comedians like Richard Pryor (who co-wrote this movie), George Carlin, and a lot more that I can't even think of off the top of my head. Back then, if someone "got offended" by something, they got laughed at and made fun of for it. And since you're not one to get easily offended... I will definitely look around and see what else you've watched that I may be interested in. Mel Brooks is one of those writer/directors that you literally can't go wrong with. "History of the World (Part 1)" is my favorite movie of his.
    The scene where the man AND the horse were hung, is a fairly obscure joke that many people don't "get" right off the bat. Have you ever heard the phrase, "Fuck you and the horse you rode in on!"? That's what that is a reference to. They executed the guy, and the horse he rode in on.
    6:30 - That, is Mel Brooks. He also plays a Native American later on in the scene where Bart tells about his parents having to have their own circle.
    10:45 - Yeah, that's pretty much the entire point of the "social commentary" about racism: Those that practice it, are really stupid. Because let's face it: We're all the SAME race, no matter what colour our skin is.
    24:18 - It's the accent for the character. Also, the actress actually could sing, but the character was not supposed to be able to sing worth a damn. Madaline Khan was a very funny actress back in the day.
    31:35 - Mel Brooks is a master at not only breaking the fourth wall, but completely destroying it.

    Blazing Saddles is one of the most important comedies of all time. It shines a light on the stupidity of racism.

There are so many inside jokes too, it is worth reading up on it.

    Mel normally is in his films and He served in WWII so he loves to make bashes on the Germans of the period. He writes, directs and produces most of his films including the songs. One less done one with his real life wife is one of his few remakes (not a parody) "To be or not to be" that takes place in WWII Poland with him and his wife almost playing themselves. One fun tidbit he did get sued over the name Headley by Heady Lamar. He paid up after the lawyers just about won the case. She was a famous actress and an inventor who co-developed the basic tech that makes Cell Phones and Wifi systems work among other technology that uses signal jumping. The tech was first used in WWII to keep comms for the military working without being jammed. Most Booksfilms films are straight up comedy with nuggets of truth or wisdom mixed in and iconic cast. I'm sure Space Balls, Robin Hood Men in Tights along with History of the World will be recommended but I suggest a deep dive into his work though some should include watching first the films he parodies to have the context. High Anxiety plays on the A. Hitchcock films. Hope you do more and like his wife said Shouldn't let anything get in the way of a good time.
