Mel Brooks is synonymous with parody and comedy. This film is a true classic and offered plenty of hard laughs. It definitely wouldn't be allowed to be made today. It stars many big names of the times, Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder,Harvey Korman, Slim Pickings, and follows the Western formula perfectly of a Randolph Scott film. The only scene that seemed unnecessary is near the end with the fight breaks out on the set of the gay musical, and Dom Delouise as the overly flamboyant director otherwise everything fits like a glove. Warning if your easily offended and have no sense of humor perhaps give it a pass rather than analyzing and trying the find a reason to dislike this joyous comedy classic. 4.5/5.
