I remember the initial DVD release and the US soldiers referred to the enemy combatants as ragheads. The version I purchased later doesn't have that word.
Or am I imagining things?
The association of torn cloth was offended.
They do it all the times on many movies. Any word the liberals find scary or offensive gets the zot.
I wonder if you can still buy the original version of Blazing Saddles these days? You certainly couldn’t make it.
“These aren’t the rag heads you are looking for...”
It was probably PC but that is not the only possibility.
I have a couple of movies which came with both DVD and Blu Ray versions. There was a slight variation in both films from one to the other. None of the variations were particularly important either.
Actually one was probably because it was too racy for a family type movie.
Quite a few movies have multiple reedited versions, not just one for television broadcast. And some seem reedited for no reason at all. It’s weird.

I watched Blazing Saddles once and only non-whites used the N word. Same with the Die Hard movie with Sam Jackson.
Wrong.
The original version of “To Live and Die in LA” had William Peterson’s character shot through the head and his body standing there for a few seconds. The DVD didn’t.
I wonder if you can still buy the original version of Blazing Saddles these days? You certainly couldn’t make it.

I have one from way back. I should probably hide it so the thought cops don’t break down my door looking for it like a bunch of Kansas City Faggotts.
I don’t know.
When did they remove this entire Verse from the Song “Money for Nothing” by Dire Straits?
See the little faggot with the earring and the make up
Yeah buddy that’s his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he’s a millionaire.
I must disagree... My copy of Blazing Saddles....
Bart: Mornin’ ma’am. And isn’t it a lovely mornin’?
Elderly Woman: Up yours, ni__er.
“You can still watch this...”

They are always deleting stuff from movies.
I was discussing some of the older Sean Connery James Bond films and she asked if they were kid appropriate. My first answer was NO, but then we discovered that what you get today is a PG13 version and not an R version.
A little internet searching found that you can buy the PG13 version for about $20, but if you want the R version it is a little over $500. Why do they make 2 versions of anything?
Does this have anything to do with parsley?
Watched the TV version of Blazing Saddles, and with all the slanderous references removed, it wasn’t even the same movie. They even sanitized the beans-eating scene!
I promptly went online an ordered the “Uncut” Blu-ray version, before it gets banned.
