My favorite is Gene Wilder smoking weed and talking in a high voice
also the Waco kid's steady hand but he shoots with the other one that
cannot stop moving and I love the rendition of I get a kick out of You.
Lastly we cannot forget the bean scene...they don't make movies like
this anymore.
This never happened to the other fella.

What, no one cares about Hed-ley Lamarr?
> "How did he do such great stunts, with such little feet?"
Lamarr's (Harvey Korman) final words after he gets shot by Sheriff Bart
(Cleavon Little) outside of Grauman's Chinese, gazing at Douglas
Fairbanks' footprints (Blazing Saddles, 1974).
My favorite scene in that picture is when Bart holds a gun to his own
neck, playing a stooge hostage who cries out "Help me, somebody help
me!" - in front of the clueless and racist townsfolk, who all have the
same last name, "Johnson."> Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:18:02 -0500
