You couldn't make Blazing Saddles these days. They'd take one look at the script and go

spoiler

"We can't make this, this is Blazing Saddles, they made it 50 years ago. Do you want Mel Brooks to sue us?"

Funny story Mel Brooks actually did an animated version of Blazing Saddles called The Legend of Hank to prove that he absolutely could make it today.

It's basically the same concept but with samurai instead of cowboys.

I feel that people who think Blazing Saddles is too risque to get made today are the butt of the jokes they thought were funny.

As a side note: I thought I liked Westerns because I loved Blazing Saddles. Then I watched a few Westerns during the pandemic and now I realize I just like Blazing Saddles. lol
