Mel Brookes got full creative control over Blazing Saddles in an accident of contract. The studio didn't notice and signed. This is why the movie is so good. Mel got to make what he thought was funny.
- drewcoo 7y agoThe movie itself alludes to that toward the end when the cowboys bust through a wall into a studio dance number, Dom Deluise as the studio's director tries to regain order, and Slim Pickins proclaims "I'm workin' for Mel Brooks" and socks him. Which is a great example of what Mel Brooks thinks is funny.
