Best Mel Brooks Movie ???
- Thread starter Sith-Lord
- Start date
Blazing Saddles. Best scene: "Drop it! Or I swear I'll blow this nigger's head all over this town!" OK, looking at that, without the context it doesn't exactly sound funny at all...
Blazing Saddles without a doubt, it was co-written by Richard Pryor. He was supposed to play Bart but he was considered 'too controversial' by studio execs.
Cool little anecdote from imdb:

Yeh they actually bleep "nigger" on Blazing Saddles when they run it on the AMC channel these days.
BS is a classic though as is YF but most of Brooks other movies were pretty bad.
That's "FRANHK-en-Steen".
But one of my favourite lines is "What's a dazzling urbanite like you doing in a rustic setting like this?"
Yeah, I can't watch it when they play it on TV, which goes for anything they show on TBS/Peachtree.... too painful to watch....
Blazing Saddles hands-down, no contest, if only for these 2 lines:
"Scuse me while I whip this out...."
and
"Mongo only pawn... in game of life..."
Don't forget "Land grab: See snatch."
"You Teutonic twat."
And Mr. Taggart's observation, "You boys have had enough beans already."
...can you believe they wanted to cut that part out, along with the part where Mongo cold-cocks the horse?
Not that it's news, but studio heads are idiots...
You can pinch what ever you like MelissaThat is so cute that you two are the first ones to comment on this.... can I pinch your cheeks??

today there is more racism than there has ever been, but it is all sugar coated...
it is all double-talk, double-speak, double-meaning, double-cross...
remember the good old days when everybody spoke their minds but there was a brotherhood/sisterhood...
remember Muhammad Ali when he fought Joe Frazier for the third time, hyping the fight...
"I want you all to tune in for the thrilla in Manila when I whip the gorilla"...
god I long for the good old days before pretentiousness...
sorry for the nostalgia...
oh BTW...
this is for you Hubba and all the MMA guys...
Muhammad Ali would kill Chuck Liddell and his ilk...
I saw the Couture/Lesnar fight...
watched both of them boxing until Lesnar dropped Couture with a right hand...
as I watched this, I said to myself, can you imagine watching these two clowns spar with a world class boxer...
Ali would toy with these two clowns...
I apologize for taking the thread off-topic...

LOL!! Nope. Ali would have gotten raped in a mma match.
It's a toss up between Space Balls and Blazing Saddles for me, but I think I'll go for Space Balls because my Swartchz is bigger than most
This should shed some light on which is the best Brooks movie:
"Put - the - candle - Back!"
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [to Igor] Now that brain that you gave me. Was it Hans Delbruck's?
Igor: [pause, then] No.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Ah! Very good. Would you mind telling me whose brain I DID put in?
Igor: Then you won't be angry?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: I will NOT be angry.
Igor: Abby Someone.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [pause, then] Abby Someone. Abby who?
Igor: Abby Normal.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [pause, then] Abby Normal?
Igor: I'm almost sure that was the name.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: [chuckles, then] Are you saying that I put an abnormal brain into a seven and a half foot long, fifty-four inch wide GORILLA?
[grabs Igor and starts throttling him]
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Is that what you're telling me?
Igor: Dr. Frankenstein...
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: "Fronkensteen."
Igor: You're putting me on.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No, it's pronounced "Fronkensteen."
Igor: Do you also say "Froaderick"?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No... ”Frederick."
Igor: Well, why isn't it "Froaderick Fronkensteen"?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: It isn't; it's "Frederick Fronkensteen."
Igor: I see.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: You must be Igor.
[He pronounces it ee-gor]
Igor: No, it's pronounced "eye-gor."
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: But they told me it was "ee-gor."
Igor: Well, they were wrong then, weren't they?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: For the experiment to be a success, all of the body parts must be enlarged.
Inga: His veins, his feet, his hands, his organs vould all have to be increased in size.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Exactly.
Inga: He vould have an enormous schwanzstucker.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: That goes without saying.
Inga: Voof.
Igor: He's going to be very popular.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[Froederick and Igor are exhuming a dead criminal]
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: What a filthy job.
Igor: Could be worse.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: How?
Igor: Could be raining.
[it starts to pour]
