@Bongo – as one of our church youth said many, many years ago: “Why don’t they at least go through two by two and save some dimes?”
🙂
Obvious follow-up question being why are church kids watching this…

Some day this film will be outlawed the way things are going. A true classic.

Jesus would rather we watch Blazing Saddles than that we learn the 57 flavors of gender. 😉
Now let’s go rape the horses and ride off on the women!

Blazing Saddles is Slim Pickens at his best other than Dr. Strangelove. My kids were raised in the church and they love this movie (and Young Frankenstein), so did my Dad. However there were some in the church who didn’t see this as funny, nor Monty Python either. And the best part of getting up today is I’m going back to work delivering flowers again, my old company Skyline Flower Growers called me yesterday and want me to come back to work for them, woo hoo!

Campfire beans!
Watched over the Holidays. Too funny!
That and Airplane!

You know that Airplane is actually a funny remake of an old Dana Andrews movie from the 50’s.

The bitch was inventing the candygram. I’ll bet they don’t even give me credit… 😆

@CombatMissionary – Twice!!!
@Geoff – it was Zero Hour! Exclamation point included. I bought a copy a few years ago, and amazingly half of the dialogue (including some very funny stuff) is in the original!. ‘We not only need someone who can fly this plane, but who didn’t have fish for dinner.’ 🙂
I saw Airplane a few years ago, 2/3 of the ZAZ producers came and took questions afterward. They said that doing a remake was very helpful since they were still in their formative years and didn’t know how to build a story very well.

@jp (at 8:15 am): Bongo only pawn in online game of Life.
I saw Blazing Saddles in Peterborough, England in 1974 at the ABC Theatre. The English people seemed to enjoy it and laughed often. In the scene where the townsfolk were being convinced to allow the railroad workers to help them build a fake town, the towns spokesman finally agreed with the exception, “Well, alright, but NO IRISH!” You could heard a pin drop in that theatre. The IRA was pretty much at it’s height of terrorist bombing activities in England then. None of them wanted to be followed home and have their kneecaps blown off or have their car boobie-trapped with a bomb. There was a lot of that kind of thing going on then. As US servicemen, we were trained how to avoid looking English and how to check our vehicles for explosives when we drove into London in case we were mistaken for British serviceman.

People who love this movie understand me when I say the Pope speaks authentic Jesuit gibberish.

Vietvet, Mongo was smarter than all of them when he realized this.
What the PC crowd doesn’t understand was that this was satirical and taking a jab at racism and showing the biggest idiots were the whites and there prejudice.
The old miner looking fella cracks me up….”Rah rabble”

This racist garbage should be banned.
Why don’t we ever see a movie taking a jab at blacks and their racism. Now that would be cutting edge humor.
