Most memorable line of the movie, IMO. Can't explain why.

it's not hilarious, but I thought it was pretty funny. Better than most Adam Sandler movies but not as good as the Holy Grail :)

My favorite line is the Waco Kid boasting "I must have killed more men than Cecil B. De Mille,"

I didn't really like it either. I was with some friends who claimed it was hilarious, but they only chuckled a few times. I know what's supposed to be funny in it, but I just didn't find it funny myself.

Agreed. He's an idiot.

Next time you go to a comedy invite somebody with a sense of humor and ask them to explain it to you. Blazing Saddles is one of the all-time classics.

I heard all these good things about it. I was so ready to get my laugh on. I almost stopped watching in like 5 times but I forced myself to finish it. God, I wish I didn't

you sir are a freaking idiot... i expect the next utterance to come from your pie hole to be "caddyshack sucked, what the heck was up with that stupid movie?!" which would be met with much bloodshed

Yeah, anyone disparages Caddyshack and I'll find a way to convert my body into electrons, crawl through my modem and bitchslap him. Then again, trashing Blazing Saddles is almost as bad.

Yeah, but if he said that about Caddyshack 2, he'd pretty much be right on the money. :)

actually, I think I might not like crappyshack either...but I'm not sure since I haven't seen it in ages. Even if I did see it a long time ago, it wouldn't count because I was too young anyway.

I'll watch it and report back!

Dude, it's one of the greatest comedies of all times. I flat out want to disbeleive you didn't like it. Soooooo many funny lines...

Men. You are about to embark on a great crusade to stamp out runaway decency in the West. Now, you'll only be risking your lives, whilst I will be risking an almost certain Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor!
