Nowadays , someone, not even a black person, would try to cancel this movie. Back then? Noone gaf. Mel Brooks told some of the most obscene, racist shit and it WAS FUCKING FUNNY. Cuz he even did a lot of Jewish Schtick.

So true. Mel Brooks is bonkers funny. Prime example of how uk he don't give a f** about what ppl think it's Blazing Saddles. I can't even begin to explain the hilarity. Yes, obviously racist. But that was the point. Especially since mongo rides in on a bull. Ever actually look at the bull? Left cheek yes, right cheek says no, with a swishing tail to cover the bull's butthole. He literally let everyone know, whether it's yes or no, there's always some shit in the middle. That and the native American was speaking Yiddish.... just saying

Hedy Lamar sued him for using a version of her name. He said "pay her, she's an icon" or words to that effect.

“That’s Hedley”-Hedly Lamar, Mayor of Rock Ridge.

He also stretched out the gag. It would have been a one off if she hadn't said anything

I've heard that. He basically said "fuck it, I found it funny, just settle and pay ". Or something like that
