Blazing Saddles 4K | The Waco Kid | Warner Classics

In this classic scene from Mel Brook's Blazing Saddles, Sherif Bart (Cleavon Little) meets infamous The Waco Kid (Gene Wilder), but most people call him Jim. About Blazing Saddles (Theatrical Release - February 5, 1974): Ribald, tasteless and hilarious ... this classic spoof of the Western genre by director Mel Brooks pokes fun at everyone and everything. A corrupt governor grants a reprieve to an African American convict if the condemned man agrees to serve as sheriff of a small Western town, believing that new sheriff will only live long enough to serve the needs of the governor and his nefarious railroad-baron backer.
