4.5 Stars - Great
Blazing Saddles, probably the most important comedy Mel Brooks ever made, due to it's wonderful and intelligent satire of racism.
The plot is simple, a really racist town in the old west get a black sheriff, Black Bart. Bart must now convince the town he's good for them and stop the evil Hedey Lamarr... sorry Hedley Lamarr... from building a railway through their town.
The jokes come thick and fast and it isn't afraid to pull any punches with more uses of the n-word than you'll hear in most zany comedy spoofs...
