Blazing Saddles

All-singing, all-belching, bad taste Western spoof.

Cleavon Little as Bart is the first black sheriff of a hell-raising western town that�s scheduled for demolition, and Gene Wilder is the drunken gunman who helps him out.

Mel Brooks as writer and director created an amusing caricature of the classic Hollywood genre, with plenty of slapstick and jokes about bodily functions. Most memorable is the gaseous bean dinner around the campfire.
