   Blazing Saddles hasn't aged perfectly; the gags that amused in the 1970s by virtue of their sheer outrageousness might just seem like bad taste now. The biggest example is in how often the "N" word is used by White characters—this was controversial when the movie came out, but now each instance drops like a thud.

   Feb 12, 2024 · Rewatching “Blazing Saddles” again recently while reading Odie’s book Black Caesars and Foxy Cleopatras, I was struck by a couple of things. One is the movie’s strong, simple point-of-view, which, despite the plethora of now-commercially unacceptable racial and ethnic and other slurs (very 1974!) feels advanced for that period.

   Is Blazing Saddles a good show?

   • Gene Wilder is perfect as the alcoholic gunslinger the Waco Kid, and Madeline Kahn steals the show as a Dietrich-like chanteuse. Most of the gags in Blazing Saddles never were very funny, and probably Brooks knows that and thinks that what's funny about those rotten old jokes is how unfunny they are. Most of the shorter sequences work nicely.

   What is the defining scene in 'Blazing Saddles'?

   • The defining scene in “ Blazing Saddles ” isn’t any of its raucous large-scale comedic setpieces, or the gleefully lowball moments that, to paraphrase filmmaker Mel Brooks, rise below vulgarity. It’s a throwaway scene between its two lead characters, Sheriff Bart (Cleavon Little) and The Waco Kid (Gene Wilder), that was actually a blown take.
