Turned it off 10 minutes in. Too offensive.


Too many N words and even the F word. The homophobic one.

And I'm neither black nor gay,so I'm not being biased or too sensitive.

You seem to have failed to get the point of this film, which is to make fun of racial prejudice. Did you fail to notice that the hero is a black man, and that he is cleverer than all the white people?

Lol. I guess the OP's boner for IMDB virtue signalling must have prevented them from actually making an informed judgement.

No, he's just a douche-bag troll.

Mel Brooks had repeated conflicts over content with Warner Bros. executives; they objected to the constant use of the word *beep* the scene of Lili Von Shtupp seducing Bart in the dark, the flatulent campfire scene, and Mongo punching out a horse, among other issues. Brooks, whose contract gave him final content control, declined to make any substantial changes. He did remove the final line in Bart and Lili's seduction scene: "I hate to disappoint you, ma'am, but you're sucking my arm." When asked later about his frequent use of *beep* in the script, Brooks said he received consistent support for its use from Richard Pryor and Cleavon Little. He added that if the film were to be remade today, the controversial word would have to be omitted, ". . . and then, you've got no movie". After the film's release, he said, he received many letters of complaint about the frequent *beep* references; ". . . but of course, most of them were from white people.

Right, because only groups that are the target of derogatory terms can be too sensitive about those terms.

Op is a pussy snowflake lol

People are too busy taking things at face value as opposed to looking at the deeper meaning. OP probably didn’t even know that Richard Pryor was one of the writers.
