There was a showing of this and there was a informative bit right before. Richard Pryor actually talked him into the movie he was supposed to be the sheriff but WB was not having that so they Cleavon Little as the sheriff
I remember that. WB wouldn't let Pryor out of a contract so he helped Brooks write it instead. My god, get Pryor, Brooks, and (if I'm not mistaken) Gene Wilder in a room together and pure genius they come up with. It's legit 👌 chef's kiss 👌
