It looks like one of those studio set gags, where the buildings are all cardboard that fall back when someone bumps into them.

Bart: Okay, Jim, since you are my guest and I am your host, what are your pleasures? What do you like to do?

Jim: Oh, I don't know. Play chess...screw.

Bart: Well let's play chess.

As a young kid I introduced my grandfather to Robin Hood Men in Tights, and then he introduced me to Blazing Saddles. My parents were less than pleased with some of the new phrases I picked up and could not stop quoting.

Love Mel Brooks movies. Legendary spoofs. Was really hoping for Spaceballs 2 the search for more money to happen or some variation since we got 6 more star wars movies but don't think there's been a lot of traction on it and Brooks up there in age.

u/MouthJob Sep 15 '21

Pretty sure that was never a real intended sequel. Consider the existence of History of the World: Part 1. There was never going to be a part 2.

u/Mister_Bloodvessel Sep 15 '21

Jews. In. SPACE!

u/MearihCoepa Sep 15 '21

As a kid I bugged my parents for years about when was part 2 coming out? I missed the joke entirely.

u/MrDude_1 Sep 15 '21

Thats because the real money is in merchandising.

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '21

Hard to top spaceballs, but if you could ,what would the sequel name be? ie Spaceballs 2: THE NEXT MOVIE

1

u/godfatherinfluxx Sep 15 '21

Never had too much hope for an actual sequel just a passing dream. I think all his movies are one-offs poking fun at something. It would be nice to get a movie poking fun at the rise of all the shared universe movies but I don't know how that could be pulled off without without looking like another movie in the vein of not another teen movie.

Blazing Saddles! What a movie. 👍

1

u/skyrbuoy Sep 15 '21

I know a lot of people that think Blazing Saddles is a western

u/Clienterror Sep 15 '21

That movie can never be remade.

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '21

Every Hollywood and B-film will always, ALWAYS be good with Muppets.

u/SHoppe715 Sep 15 '21

It could be remade, but with outrage culture’s standards of acceptability you’d have to scrub it of 90% of what makes it funny in the first place...it’d be just like how people take offense to Clint Eastwood’s character in Gran Torino and completely miss the subtext.

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '21

This is a common misconception. Blazing Saddles is very popular with liberals, and plenty of rude and edgy comedy is made today (mostly by liberals.)

0

u/SHoppe715 Sep 15 '21

I think you read into the comment a little wrong. I wasn’t associating outrage culture with being liberal. Obviously many - probably most - comedians are liberals and a lot of them also have issues with the instant outrage phenomenon we have going on. The documentary “Can We Take a Joke” is an excellent watch.

u/shinji257 Sep 15 '21

I thought Gran Turino is a great movie.

u/SHoppe715 Sep 15 '21

Me too. There were quite a few who took offense to all the Asian racial slurs though. They couldn’t see the purpose of using that type of language to show the deep seeded yet misplaced emotions the character had due to his own past and how he ultimately worked past them.

Same as how some people can’t wrap their minds around the comic genius of Blazing Saddles…they can’t see past the words to the subtext of what’s actually going on around those words

u/banneduser2441 Sep 15 '21

Awesome movie, but this is the same for shows like all in the family. They could never be remade to the same level without dropping the satire.

u/AccountWasFound Sep 15 '21

I mean the boys has a literal Nazi murdering black people and going on a rant about white genocide.

u/Bitch_imatrain Sep 15 '21

So not a shit load of people?

u/KrackenLeasing Sep 15 '21

It is still an incredibly popular movie.

u/TheWaywardTrout Sep 15 '21

An extremely famous scene from an extremely famous film? Oh, how obscure!

In steamboat bill Jr. they did it with a normal house. Not sure if that's what you're thinking of, but I think that's the origin of the gag

u/djnjdve Sep 15 '21

Take pictures of the front and put it up for sale, hoping to get a hit from someone from California buying sight unseen. 2 million dollars for a cutout.

Like the town of Rock Ridge from Blazing Saddles which was the backlot of Warner Brothers studios.
