The laughter in the room when Brooks and Pryor combined



their heads to create this one. A Jew making fun of

Jews, a Black making fun of Blacks, two Western

Americans making fun of the West, movie makers making

fun of the movies. The childish fart-level humor at the

campfire and utter screwball gags keep you rolling of

the floor This movie doesn't pretend to be anything

more than screwball humor, but it's one of the

funniest movies ever made!

This one of a kind classic funny movie was released

on 7 Feb. 1974. Directed by Mel Brooks who also

appeared in this movies playing dual parts as the

incompentent and horny Governor and in one scene, an

Indian chief. Harvey Korman as Hedly Lamarr comes in

with a strong performance, but the main characters are

played by Cleavon Little [Bart} and Gene Wilder

[Jim--the Waco Kid]

The main plot of this movie is the destruction of a

small western town for the enrichment of a corrupt

political boss. Hedly Lamarr covinces the Governor to

appoint a "black" sheriff to bring law and order to

this town. Hoping that the towns people will kill the

new sheriff, the plot backfires on Larmarr and the

[black] sheriff becomes his most formidable adversary.

The twists and turns that this film takes over the

entire 93 minutes are shown as some of the most

hilarious scenes ever put on the silver screen. How

anyone could even think of turning one scene [farting

cowboys]into a laughable episode is pure brilliance.

This film will always be remembered as one of the

funniest comedy movies ever made.
