I also watched Blazzing Saddles again recently. It's supposed to be an extended version with an additional scene of his in it. I didn't really remember the original well enough to tell which one that was. I enjoyed it again though.

One thing in there in the extras is they show the campfire farting scene without the sound track. There's something hilarious about just seeing the choreography without the sound!

He will be remembered for knocking out a horse in Blazing Saddles and as a member of the fearsome foursome.
Rest in Peace Mr. Karras

He was a top player in his day but he played for the Detroit Lions. The Fearsome Foursome were with the then Los Angelos Rams.

Also in Against All Odds. I was going to post this yesterday but in researching photos from the movies I got caught up perusing Jeff Bridges in Against All Odds with his shirt off and was, um, distracted.
