Realizing this will make Rock Ridge worth millions, territorial attorney general Hedley Lamarr plans to force Rock Ridge's residents out of the town and sends a gang of thugs, led by his flunky Taggart, to shoot the sheriff and trash the town. The townspeople demand that Governor William J. Le Petomane appoint a new sheriff to protect them. Lamarr persuades dim-witted Le Petomane to appoint Bart, a black railroad worker about to be executed for assaulting Taggart. A black sheriff, Lamarr reasons, will offend the townspeople, create chaos and leave Rock Ridge at his mercy. After an initial hostile reception in which he takes himself "hostage" to escape, Bart relies on his quick wits and the assistance of Jim, an alcoholic gunslinger known as the "Waco Kid", to overcome the townspeople's hostility. Bart subdues Mongo, an immensely strong and dim-witted, yet philosophical henchman sent to kill him, then outwits German seductress-for-hire Lili Von Shtupp at her own game, with Lili falling in love with him. Upon release, Mongo vaguely informs Bart of Lamarr's connection to the railroad, so Bart and Jim visit the railroad worksite and discover from Bart's best friend Charlie that the railway is planned to go through Rock Ridge. Taggart and his men arrive to kill Bart, but Jim outshoots them and forces their retreat. Furious that his schemes have backfired, Lamarr recruits an army of thugs, including common criminals, motorcycle gangsters, Ku Klux Klansmen, Nazi soldiers, and Methodists. East of Rock Ridge, Bart introduces the White townspeople to the black, Chinese, and Irish railroad workers who have all agreed to help them in exchange for acceptance by the community, and explains his plan to defeat Lamarr's army. They labor all night to build a perfect copy of the town as a diversion. When Bart realizes it will not be enough to fool the villains, the townsfolk construct copies of themselves. Bart, Jim, and Mongo buy time by constructing the "Gov. William J. Le Petomane Thruway", forcing the raiding party to send for change to pay the toll. Once through the tollbooth, the raiders attack the fake town and its population of dummies, which have been booby trapped with dynamite. After Jim detonates the bombs with his sharpshooting, launching bad guys and horses skyward, the Rock Ridgers attack the villains with Lili singing with the Nazi soldiers. The resulting brawl between townsfolk, railroad workers, and Lamarr's thugs literally breaks the fourth wall and bursts onto a neighboring movie set where director Buddy Bizarre is filming a Busby Berkeley-style top-hat-and-tails musical number. Then the brawl spreads into the studio commissary for a food fight and spills out of the Warner Bros. film lot onto the streets of Burbank. Lamarr escapes the brawl and takes a taxi to hide at Mann's Chinese Theatre which is showing the premiere of Blazing Saddles. As he settles into his seat, he sees onscreen Bart arriving on horseback outside the theatre. Bart blocks Lamarr's escape and shoots him in the groin. Bart and Jim then enter the theater to watch the end of the film. Back in the film, Bart announces to the townspeople that he is moving on because his work is done (and because he is bored). Riding out of town, he finds Jim, still eating his popcorn, and invites him along to "nowhere special". The two friends briefly ride into the desert before dismounting and boarding a limousine which drives off into the sunset. Cast Cleavon Little as Bart, a black railroad worker who becomes a sheriff Gene Wilder as Jim the Waco Kid, an alcoholic gunslinger who allies with Bart Slim Pickens as Taggart, a minion of Lamarr Harvey Korman as Hedley Lamarr, a crooked territorial attorney general Madeline Kahn as Lili Von Shtupp, a German seductress-for-hire that Lamarr tries to use on Bart Mel Brooks as: Governor William J. Le Petomane, the governor of the unnamed state that Rock Ridge is in Indian Chief Aviator Applicant, a nod to Howard Hughes Voice of German Dancer (uncredited) Voice of Grouchy Moviegoer (uncredited)[9] Burton Gilliam as Lyle Alex Karras as Mongo, an immensely strong underling of Lamarr who sides with Bart David Huddleston as Olson Johnson Liam Dunn as Reverend Johnson John Hillerman as Howard Johnson George Furth as Van Johnson Claude Ennis Starrett, Jr. as Gabby Johnson Carol Arthur as Harriett Johnson Richard Collier as Dr. Sam Johnson Charles McGregor as Charlie, the best friend of Bart Robyn Hilton as Miss Stein, a woman who Governor Le Petomane makes out with Dom DeLuise as Buddy Bizarre, a film director whose musical gets crashed by the brawling Blazing Saddles actors Count Basie as himself Sally Kirkland as a studio commissary cashier (uncredited) Patrick Labyorteaux as Harry (uncredited) John Alderson as Gum Chewer (uncredited) Ralph Manza as Joey (uncredited), an actor in the studio commissary who is portraying Adolf Hitler in a movie where he answers a fellow actor's question on how many days he has left on the movie he's in by telling him that "they lose me right after the bunker scene". Cast notes: Count Basie and his orchestra make a cameo appearance, playing "April in Paris" in the middle of the desert as Bart rides toward Rock Ridge to assume the post of sheriff. Brooks appears in three on-screen roles: Governor William J. Le Petomane, the Yiddish-speaking Native American chief (appearing in redface) in Bart's backstory, and an applicant for Hedley Lamarr's thug army (an aviator wearing sunglasses and a flight jacket). He also has two off-screen voice roles, as one of Lili's German chorus boys during "I'm Tired" and as a grouchy moviegoer.[9] "Le Petomane" refers to Joseph Pujol, a performer in 19th-century France who was a professional flatulist using "Le Pétomane" as his stage name.[2][10] Carol Arthur (Harriett Johnson) was DeLuise's wife.[2] "Olson Johnson" is a reference to the vaudeville comedy team Olsen and Johnson, "Howard Johnson" to the now-defunct Howard Johnson's restaurant chain, "Van Johnson" to the actor Van Johnson, and "Dr. Samuel Johnson" to the 18th-century English writer by that name.[2] The character of "Gabby Johnson" is a direct parody of cowboy actor Gabby Hayes
