One of my favorite movies!

Cult classic. Could never make a movie like that anymore. Has anyone seen it on TV lately or has it been pulled from being showed.
LOL!. “Boss we hit quicksand. Should we send in a couple of horses?
“Heck no! Send in a couple of n****rs!’’
A hilariously funny movie, one of my favorites.
Thanks for the ping. You'd do it for Randolph Scott....RANDOLPH SCOTT!
Here's a Laurel.... and Hardy handshake...
