“FOLLOWED BY FIFTEEN F*CKING SECONDS OF REPEATING THE SAME F*CKING THING IN F*CKING TEXT!!” (I didn’t expect so much raw anger right at the beginning, lol)
A parody of Blazing Saddles? You can't be subversive if your source material was already subversive. You can't parody a parody. That's a double-negative. It's comedically ungrammatical.
Honestly would have been a much better and more clever title than the one we got. Between Paws Of Fury and Coming 2 America, Paramount really needs to work on coming up with better titles for their films. Returning To America or Coming Back To America was right there!
I passed this movie up in theatres because I feel like I knew the entire plot just by poster alone. Watching this video years later I can confirm I was 90% correct.
Remaking Blazing Saddles as a kids movie is insane. Even going so far as to reference the bean/fart scene. But they completely stripped it of its heart and meaning. Also no Lily Von Shtupp.
I read that Mel Brooks received writing credit because they borrowed so heavily from Blazing Saddles to the point where it essentially became a remake that they had to include him to avoid a lawsuit.
I couldn't. The most worthwhile thing about this is how it was in development hell for ages and many name changes before it managed to finally come out to little interest. Always remember, dreams do come true, and sometimes under-perform and possibly put your credentials into question.
I saw this on a plane and the description said something like ‘If you look closely you might see some similarities with Blazing Saddles!’. You mean, like the fact that they lifted entire scenes from that classic almost word for bloody word?
Ah it's official, this is my only regret from seeing Blazing Saddles for the first time recently ... The fact that I had to see that something like this exists and understand every painful reference.
I lowkey forgot this movie existed, I remember working at a movie theater during the summer of 2022 and when this movie came out, nobody showed up to see it, the most that I’ve seen people watch this movie as about 10 to 15 people 😭😭😭
Trust me: if you think that’s a whole whopping minute of logos just wait until you watch The Inventor. The logos at the beginning of that film run for almost nearly 2 minutes that it reminded me of that Family Guy cutaway where Peter watches a bunch of long logos before the movie starts.
Once again, I'm alone in liking this movie. I will agree though, the amount of companies it took to get this movie off the ground is pretty damn ridiculous, but that might have something to do with the fact that this movie went through incredible development hell and took well over a decade to make
I think the ‘mall samurai’ was a joke about ‘mall ninjas’ which is a derogatory term for people who buy those stupid over designed swords in malls (back when malls were a thing)
10:14 Give me *one* example of something you can not make out of folded paper. Sure, it won't function, be mostly static or have limited motion, but you can ask the people who make spiders, scorpions, cacti, or even shapes that can rotate inside out perpetually, what can't be made out of paper, and I dare you to come back with a definitive answer!
"we don't hand people our phones" Reminds me of a Vampire Masquerade game, I had just soaked an attack and my friend says cool so I'm gonna go around back and scope it out, here,'s my phone in case you need to call me. DM: "Do you take it?" Yea sure wait. wait what
So, my buddies and I had a joke idea of just completely remaking the original Blazing Saddles with really close look alikes. Literally just remake the movie but with the line from Robin Hood: men in tights added in, “a black sheriff?” “Why not?? It works in blazing saddles.” My buddies and I loved the idea and we were trying to start a petition for it. Then, this movie got announced. And it just completely fucked up everything about everything
Apparently. Never seen this film. But during the watching of this video i went "So this is just blazing saddles.." then there was the blatant reference and went. Ok yup 90% blazing saddles.
This is the thing though. Cocks review these movies as if they're meant for adults. My son loved it, because - guess what! - he's never seen Blazing Saddles. Obviously! And he liked it, because kids like corny jokes. His favourite joke was VIP = Very Important Pooch. He repeated it about 10 times. Knobheads need to stop reviewing animations as if they're made for adults. They're not, they're made for kids.
Sumo is just Mongo with fur. This movie really plays really fast and loose with its Blazing Saddles influences. Edit: I have now watched the entire video. OMFG, nevermind, yeah, this is just furry CG blazing saddles.
The movie was originally intended to be a children friendly version of Blazing Saddles. Many of the story beats are the same , but they messed up on the messaging. Being based off of a script that Mel Brooks originated, and getting him to star in the movie, is why he has a writing credit.
I don't believe in angels or demons but the cast in this movie proves that all Hollywood stars must occasionally perform great and terrible sacrifices to appease whatever unearthly power gave them their fame.
It's not the worst movie I've ever seen. Dumb, yes. But not actively terrible. The writing is kinda stupid, but it looks pretty good, visually speaking, and some of the 'jokes' in this video did at least make me huff in amusement. I'd give this movie a C+, myself. They put in effort, at the very least. It's no Joshua And The Promised Land, that's for sure.
Fun fact in spanish this movie's name is El perro samurai la leyenda de kakamucho or smth which vaguely translates to "samurai dog: the legend of shits-a-lot"
I've never seen this movie, so all I know about it is from this video, but from what I can deduce, it is trying to be Deadpool and Kung Fu Panda at once.
