They Say That Blazing Saddles Could Not Be Made Today

They say that if you were to walk into a studio executive's office with that script, you would be immediately be thrown out of their office.

I was thinking about this, because I am watching Blazing Saddles, and I realize that they are right.

If you walked into a studio executives now, even now, during the strike, you would be thrown out of his office, possibly without benefit of the door being opened.

And you know what that executive would say?

He would say:

What the f%$# are you trying to pull?

Mel Brooks, Norman Steinberg, Andrew Bergman, Richard Pryor and Alan Uger wrote this 50 years ago!

Give me one reason why I shouldn't put my boot up your ass!

That is what a studio executive would say.

If you presented this script to Mel Brooks, he would not say that, he would just put his boot up your ass.
