One day in the Warner Bros. commissary, Mel Brooks and the other writers were seated at a table opposite John Wayne. The Duke turned and said he had heard about their Western, the one with a lot of farting. Mel said, "Yes, and we'd like you to be in it." According to Brooks, the Duke turned down the offer by saying, "Naw, I can't do a movie like that but I'll be first in line to see it!"

I'm giving this stinker 0 out of 10. Normally, the worst that I would ever rate a movie would be 1 out of 10. But the total waste of time that is Blazing Saddles is, compounded by the fact that this movie is incredibly offensive, helped me come to the big goose egg. I'm not sure what the hell Mel Brooks was thinking when he made this thing, or if he was even thinking at all. Maybe in Mel's little mind a horse being knocked unconscious because of a punch to the face is funny. In mine, it's not. Or maybe Mel graduated from the Spike Lee school of filmmaking. Because only the self-righteous Lee uses the N-word more often in his films than Brooks did in this one. At least Lee has the smarts to realize that nobody is going to find that term amusing. Brooks bandies it about like he figures the audience will be rolling in the aisles every time they hear it. Wrong Mel! I would call you a boob Mel, but that insults breasts everywhere.
