Mel Brooks' Comedy Classic 'Blazing Saddles' Rides Home With New 4K Release

2024 marks the 50th anniversary of an all-time boundary-pushing comedy classic - Blazing Saddles. Directed by the legendary Mel Brooks, the Western satire following the adventures of the first black sheriff of Rock Ridge is hailed as an important piece of film history as it broke the rules and norms of Hollywood moviemaking at the time. It's also often seen as an iconic feature that couldn't be made today, made as a satire of racism in America. Now, just in time for its milestone birthday, the laughs are coming home with a new 4K Ultra HD release. The restored film and its round-up of special features are available now on Amazon and other retailers.
