Remember, faint-hearted ones, Richard Pryor was a co-writer of this script. This movie was embraced by all of us young liberals when it came out, because it punctured all the racist nonsense in society. The sad thing is, there is no way this movie could be made today.
@strukhoff "sad thing is, there is no way this movie could be made today."
I saw Mel Brooks speak at a screening of Blazing Saddles a few years ago. He said that, after an in-studio screening, the execs handed him a list of all the potentially offensive lines with the directive "Take them all out!" but Brooks and his co-writers took none of them out. Then, at the first public test screening, the audience fell on the flooor luaghing, and the studio guys gave up trying to edit the film.
i'm black and one of my best friend's is from Cork, Ireland. We email this clip back and forth all the time! no subject, no message, just this clip...it's brilliant!
The studio executives made him sit through a meeting where they basically decided to reshoot the whole movie with a "cleaned-up" script, but Brooks' contract had said explicitly that would have total control of the project. He sat through the meeting, diligently taking notes. Then as he was leaving the room he tossed them in the garbage.
@BillClausen I would agree with you about "Political Correctness" stifles honest discussion on this point but overall the elimination of the words nigger, chink, and other ethnic slurs helps to reduce ethnic tensions in the longterm. There is theory behind the "PC" movement which really isn't a movement at all.

It's not racist; it's making fun of racism. Welcome to the world of satire. Looks like you're late, so grab a seat in the back.

What is so dangerous about political correctness is that it stifles honest discussion.
