Sure is.
But Blazing Saddles has the N word in it.
So no, it would not be made today.
Richard Pryor co-wrote “Blazing Saddles.”
I would imagine he INSISTED “the N word” be bandied about.
A different, freer time, when people of all races, colors and creeds had a sense of humor about themselves and others.
I see movies all the time with the n word.
Quentin Tarantino lards his movies up with “nigger this” and “nigger that” - and gets away with it.
These same comments were made by Mel Brooks about a year ago.
I remember Mel Brooks’s comments being discussed on talk radio. At the time, I watched “Blazing Saddles.” I have the movie on video and hadn’t seen it in years.
I counted about twelve times when someone said the “N” word in the movie.
