Wissenswertes
(at around 45 mins) Cleavon Little was not warned about the "you know. . . . morons" line. His reaction was real.

Patzer
(at around 1h 11 mins) In the sign up scene, Hedley Lamarr fires a two shot Derringer three times without reloading. This is a parody of a common "western" goof.

Zitate
[Bart returns unexpectedly after being sentenced to death]
Charlie: They said you was hung.
Bart: And they was right.

Crazy Credits
The Warner Bros. logo appears on a black screen and burns away (in a homage to the Western show Bonanza (1959)), leading into the opening credits.

Alternative Versionen
The standard cable and commercial broadcast versions omit racial slurs and some bad language. Extent of the editing is contingent on whether the TV-PG, or TV-14 version is being shown.

An All-Time Classic

Whenever I look at this film I laugh so hard that somtimes tears come to my eyes. Brooks manages to do with this film what Young Frankenstien did to classic horror films. The thing that really works is all the in jokes laced throughout the film. This shows that the cast and crew were really having fun in writing and producing this film. But the main credit should go to the late Cleavon Little. He was perfect as Bart. He took the role when many thought it should have gone to Richard Pryor (who was a co-writer on the film). However, I think Pryor might have been a little too over the top for the role. Little played it more low key and not as militant as Pryor might have.

Also, this film was rated R when it was first released back in 1974. Today it probably would get either a P.G. or, at most, a P.G.-13 rating.
