Blazing Saddles
Crap, you’re right. Too heavily edited. I’m turning it.
Not so. Right now AMC is showing "48 Hours".
I think they also had a made for TV version with some words altered.
Not so in my neighborhood. Not sure about yours though....
Hee Haw is on RFDTV!
“I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, a$$-kickers, sh*t-kickers and Methodists.”
AMC went down the tubes when it changed format and started running commercials. I can’t tell them from WGN.
Uncensored is the ONLY way to watch that Mel Brooks classic. They even cut out the Madeline Kahn character’s name, Lilly Von Schtup.
“It’s Twue...It’s TWUE...”
Favorite line from Slim Pickins: “You use your tongue better than a $20 whore!”
I admit it, I like Hee Haw. My dad used to watch it every time it came on. Brings back good childhood memories.
35th?!? Man, that makes me feel old.
One of the gags the studio forced out in "Blazing Saddles" was that when the lights go out and Madeline Kahn says, "It's twue! It's twue!" the next line was supposed to be the sheriff saying, "Woman, get my elbow out of your mouth!"
Off topic, but in Animal House, when the float with Kennedy's head lands on top of the fire hydrant, the original gag was supposed to be a beer keg hitting him in the back of the head and going through. The studio nixed that.
“Is it twoo what they say about the way you people are... gifted?”
"What in the wide, wide world of sports is a going on here? I hired you people to try to get a little track laid, not to jump around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots!"
(giggling)
(snort!)
Yeah, but AMC went PC on us and bleeped the N word.
Probably nothing but horse whinnying in the campfire scene as well.
“It’s twoo, it’s twoo!” remains a favorite. And in that scene, did anyone notice the lace curtain when the lights went out? If you were ever stationed in Germany, you’d know it in a heartbeat.
;^)
Richard Pryor wrote most of the Mongo shtick. Mel Brooks was going to have him play Bart, but after seeing the comedy he wrote, he kept Pryor on as a writer. Brooks said his only real worry was the farting scene, which shows how much things have changed in the movies.
"Blazing Saddles" has been credited with singlehandedly killing the traditional American western. It offended just about every aspect of the genre, although some themes were trashed more than others.
I love the movie.
I have watched that movie about 4 times a year and yes they use the n word in it
“Probably nothing but horse whinnying in the campfire scene as well.”
It’s on right now. they are definitely farting.
they don’t anymore. It’s butchered. They are using bitch, bastard, ass and I don’t know what else but they aren’t using the n word.
