Mel Brooks. I haven’t  seen Blazing Saddles for years and years. Must be 30+. One of the funniest movie of them all.

Ive set to record it.

Absolute classic. Bit near the mark for some on here though I'd imagine

Yep! Me too. I think it was a X at the time but we always considered that as more of a suggestion than a rule!

At the time, there were often two films shown during the same evening.

I can't for the life of me recall the name of the first film, but do remember it was a rather pathetic 'blue, pornographic' film.

The porno film was only slightly less amusing than Blazing Saddles.

I bet it had either Julie Ege or Samantha Eggar in it?

[PHILINFRANCE]

Was it perhaps 'Percy', a film about a man with a transplanted penis?

Hope nothing is cut out

Cant wait to see some quotes tomorrow from some snowflakes who have never seen it before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Percy's Progress ?

I had to look it up, but apparently Percy's Progress was a sequel!

Why? The original was crap. Why make a sequel?

Anyway, this was the film I was thinking of - 1971, would you believe.

We'll all be called childish for finding this scene amusing.

For me it was a double bill with Young Frankenstein (it's Fronk N Steen), another great Mel Brooks film. 

The Waco Kid joke about shooting left handed, makes me cry with laughter every time, as does the roadcrew, singing I Get a Kick Out Of You, when asked to sing a good old fashioned ........ work song.

I genuinely assumed it would never be shown on mainstream TV again, I am pleased to be wrong, it's a great example of using racist tropes and language to ridicule the perpetrators of it.

In a nutshell. Mel Brooks managed to ridicule most of the racist stereotypes in use in America back then in one ninety minute movie and made it bloody funny to boot. As with Fawlty Towers and Till Death Us Do Part we were meant to laugh at them and not with them.
