Title: Blazing Saddles is an "Edited" Edition
Review: Many fans who grew up watching Mel's early movies of the 60's and 70's, would probably agree that "Blazing Saddles" (along with the first "Producers" and "Young Frankenstein") represents his finest work. Therefore, I was disappointed to discover that a number of classic scenes have been cut from this version of "Blazing Saddles." In a single casual viewing, I noticed that (at least) the following scenes are missing:1) The scene where Mongo is tricked by Sheriff Bart into duelling with a mechanical sheriff.2) The scene where Mongo is tricked by Sheriff Bart into diving down the town's well to search for hidden treasure.3) The scene where the gibberish-speaking prospector ("Gabby Johnson") tries to explain why the dynamite didn't go off.Yes, getting all these great Mel Brooks movies for under $60.00 was a great value. But to have Brooks' "crown jewel" edited in such a way was a great disappointment.
