I hope they leave the beans scene untouched.
I literally fell out of my seat laughing at that part when I was a kid.
They mute the farts out when it's on tv.
That movie made white racists look stupid,which they are.

(2,018 posts)Blazing Saddles is a brilliant indictment of racism written by RICHARD PRYOR. The whole point of racist language in it was to skewer racists. Buy a copy and enjoy it.
Hard to skewer racism without depicting it.

(46,119 posts)The Lilli Von Shtupp and Sheriff Bart scene. The room is dark. Then the Bart says, "You know, you're sucking on my arm, don't you?"
(After promising Warner Brothers that he would edit out several "offensive" scenes, such as the infamous farting sequence, Mel Brooks never cut a single scene except one: after the room is darkened and Lilly (Madeline Kahn) informs Bart "It's TWUE! It's TWUE!," Bart (Cleavon Little) quietly states, "You're sucking on my arm." The scene was later added back to the home video release.) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071230/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv
Brook's wife, Anne Brancroft, made him take that line out.
