Blazing Saddles is an iconic comedy. However, I have to admit that I remember it being funnier. Watching it now, I still laughed out loud a few times, and chuckled a few more, but the jokes seemed farther apart, and some of the references were so dated that I had to look them up. I was also surprised that, aside from the constant barrage of racial slurs, it's actually a fairly tame R-rated movie. Cleavon Little & Gene Wilder make a great duo. And while I'm always happy to see Madeline Kahn on the screen, I felt like she was underutilized. Mel Brooks definitely made an impact with this irreverent comedy.
