This is the best Brook's film yet! But, there are references to the KKK and a reference to homosexuality. A product used is, when a man goes to a theatre he asks for Junior Mints, do you think that was just a randomly selected snack, I sure don't.
Violence (G): All cartoon'ish slapstick.
Sexual Content (PG-13): Lili seduces Bart, swiping a look at his trouser snake.
Language (R): plenty of f--k, s--t, and n----r.
Drugs/Tobacco/Alchohol (G): Bart and Waco swipe some beers at a saloon, Waco used to be a drunco, but cleans himself up.
This movie is rated R for one reason: Language. Swearing is constant and the sherrif is not liked in the beginning since he is african american but his heroic actions in stopping rustlers from destroying the town really made the people grow on him. Sadly, in the end, he leaves to help other towns. The n-word is used often since it is in an early time where there was slavery. The only real problem is language. Violence is slapstick like when everyone was joining the fight into the hollywood studios. People drink at the saloon and the waco kid (Gene wilder) is a heavy drinker who befriends the sherrif. I really liked it. good for 14+ due to its frequent swearing and racial slurs
Only reason that it is rated R is language. No F-bombs but a lot of the "n" word. A few s words, but otherwise nothing is bad. This is an okay movie if your kids understand not to use the "n" word.
Very very funny. A little fun fact: Blazing Saddles was the first movie to have farts, and when it first in theaters they made it silent so all you see was 10 cowboys randomly getting up around a campfire.
I'm pretty positive this movie was rated R for the language, because there is a TON of racials slurs and crude humor. Difanitly offenisve behavior. But the movie was made to make fun of people who are racist, and black people can be racist but at least they have a very good reason to be. CLASSIC!!!!!! My name is Jim... but most people call me... Jim. HAHA

Unbelievable! Hilarious simply does not do this film justice! It is the funniest, best, western spoof movie you'll ever see! It's only bad because they say the 'N' word a lot. But they're doing this to make fun of the sheriff, who is black. Most of the innapropriote stuff is for humorous purposes. I'd let anyone 9+ see it!
Although there is some drinking in this film, I believe that it is a must-see for teens and pre-teens. Award Winning director: Mel Brooks has outdone himself again. Hilarious. If you do not worry about your kids seeing people drinking, there is no reason why they should not see this movie.
this movie has got to be one of the funniest movies ever made, its a timeless classic with great comedic performances, great jokes, and one of the best screenplays ever. This should be required viewing for everybody who likes movies.
Watch with the kids and be ready to explain that Brooks is poking fun at racists and showing them up to be idiots. This movie provides a great vehicle to discuss satire with your kids and how satire can be used to make social commentary.
That said dont forget this is a truly funny comedy in the best Brooks tradition.
