 | | Really, Brooks' movies have a bit of everything: slapstick for thems what likes slapstick, crude sexual humour, great visual gags, fart jokes, some of the most wonderfully groan-worthy puns ever, fantastic characters, razor-sharp banter — the works. |
 | | Sentenced to hang for making trouble, Bart is rescued by the Machiavellian beaurocrat Hedley Lamarr (the wonderfully evil Harvey Korman), who wants to appoint the nation's first fl sherrif — not out of benevolence, but in order to drive the townsfolk of Rock Ridge out of town, enabling him to snap up the land. |
 | | As always with Brooks, there are quite a few noteworthy minor roles too, like Madeline Kahn, who puts in a very memorable turn as saucy cabaret artist Lili Von Shtupp, and the equally memorable performance from Dom DeLuise as a camp Hollywood choreographer (don't ask). |
