Blazing Saddles

The railroads bound to run right through the sleepy town of Rock Ridge. Land there will be worth a fortune but the townfolk already own their own land. How do you drive them out? Send in the roughest, toughest, meanest, leanest gang you've got. And appoint a new Sherriff you figure will last about 24 hours. But that's not really the plot of Blazing Saddles, just the pretext. Once Mel Brooks' lunatic film (many call it his best) gets underway, logic is lost in a blizzard of gags, jokes, quips, puns, howlers, growlers and outrageous assaults upon good taste - or any taste at all.
