As a long-time Mel Brooks fan, I have always been bothered by the lack of a single obtainable version of Blazing Saddles that includes all material made for the film. If you’ve ever 1) watched the VHS or DVD version and then 2) watched the edited-for-TV version, you will note vast discrepancies between the two. There are a few additional scenes that made it into the TV version (particularly the extra Road Runner-esque scenes with Sherriff Bart and Mongo) that aren’t on the video store ones.
That’s why this gives me great hope. Note:
Features
- “Black Bart” 1975 TV Pilot that inspired the film
- “Intimate Protrait: Madeline Kahn Remembers”
- Additional scenes
- Cast/Crew Reunion documentary
- Scene-specific commentary by director/co-writer Mel Brooks
- Widescreen Presentation
It’s almost too good to be true.

Slim Pickens was awesome. The whole movie is a masterpiece.
