1. ...

Kind of like editing Uma Thurman out of Kill Bill.

[Ferrets are Cool]

2. Or all the cursing from a

Samuel L. Jackson movie.

3. It's Twoo! it's Twoo!

9. This is one funniest movies.

My husband and I re-watched it for probably the 10th time about a month ago and we still laugh like loons at the total craziness of this epicly funny film. It's twoo is such a classic!

4. Glad I have original dvd

Along with a bunch of other Mel Brooks movies.

I hope they leave the beans scene untouched.
I literally fell out of my seat laughing at that part when I was a kid.
They mute the farts out when it's on tv.

That movie made white racists look stupid,which they are.

5. Screw that.

Blazing Saddles is a brilliant indictment of racism written by RICHARD PRYOR. The whole point of racist language in it was to skewer racists. Buy a copy and enjoy it.

[Martin Eden]

6. +1

Hard to skewer racism without depicting it.

7. Mel Brooks edited likely the funniest line before the movie was distributed.

The Lilli Von Shtupp and Sheriff Bart scene. The room is dark. Then the Bart says, "You know, you're sucking on my arm, don't you?"

(After promising Warner Brothers that he would edit out several "offensive" scenes, such as the infamous farting sequence, Mel Brooks never cut a single scene except one: after the room is darkened and Lilly (Madeline Kahn) informs Bart "It's TWUE! It's TWUE!," Bart (Cleavon Little) quietly states, "You're sucking on my arm." The scene was later added back to the home video release.) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071230/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv

Brook's wife, Anne Brancroft, made him take that line out.

8. Take out the fart jokes too, in case we offend people with stomach complaints.

[Doreen]

10. Taking anything out of that movie will just make it an entirely different movie.

It would just be boring. The so called offensive parts are done for the reason of showing how stupid racists are.

12. Why is this right wing meme on DU?

Political correctness is a dog whistle.
