FYI: Focusing on the rise of a black sheriff in the American west of 1874, Blazing Saddles is widely regarded as the most audacious comedy of Mel Brooks’s directorial career. A subversive, fearless satire bent on tackling the ever-present absurdity of prejudice, it has maintained an impressive and growing fan base more than four decades later. On the 45th anniversary of the movie's release, here are some remarkable tidbits about one of the greatest spoofs ever made.
