Memorable Movie Event
Blazing Saddles is known for being absolutely amusing and insane, both in the story and behind the scenes. So visitors made the film’s world premiere just as chaotic, holding it at the now-demolished Pickwick Drive-In Theater in Burbank, California. But instead of driving in, the guests arrived on horseback! Talk about a memorable cinematic event that fits the genre’s concept perfectly.

Another reason Western lovers enjoy viewing this ludicrous parody of the genre is because it has numerous small concealed references to many of the era’s most popular films. For example, did you see the scene in which Mongo awakens at the Sheriff’s office, where Bart is hanging wanted posters? One of these posters can also be found in the 1959 film Rio Bravo, which starred iconic cowboy movie star John Wayne.
