10 out of 10. you are not a movie buff if you didn't score this.
10/10. Sheriff, sorry about the “Up yours, #%!? !!
I like the deleted scenes. One of those is where Mongo goes in a water tank wearing an old deep-sea diving suit to look for sunken treasure. For more air deposit 25 cents.
"Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!"
Just got 10 out of 10. I have the boxed set of Mel Brooks DVDs. I jut love his movies. And the bean eating scene....omg...too funny. I should also change my screen name to Oldie 81....time flies when you're having fun.

Good mornin' ma'am, and aint it it a lovely morning?
Up yours ******.
Up yours ******.
I saw this flick a long time ago on A&E, and they blanked every instance of that word,(you know which word I mean). If you do that there might as well be no movie. 9 out of 10.
"Mongo only pawn in game of Life"
Great theme song written by Mel Brooks and sung by Frankie Laine.
8 out of 10. I know most people like Young Frankenstein, but High Anxiety is my favorite Mel Brooks movie.

Did not know Count Basie was in this.

Bart meets him in the desert and gives him a high five!
8/10. My dad took my mom to see this in the theater when they were still dating. My mom wasn't too keen on westerns, and my dad said "just trust me." My mom loved it.
Madeline Kahn was soooo good. A beautiful lady that was very funny. Gone too soon, like Cleavon Little.
Another bonus question: Lily Von Shtupp was a parody of what classic actress? And another one: What part of Bart's body was sucked by Lily?
Hints: the answer to the second question is NOT what you think it is! And to be honest, it may only appear in the novel and/or the TV edit! However, Mel Brooks confirmed it in an old Playboy interview!
Marlene Dietrich is the answer to number one and I'll just let number two "hang".
Well, MeTver, you're wrong! Think a little big higher...LOL!
OK, to clear up your dirty minds, Lily was sucking Bart's ELBOW! Well, it was pitch dark and she knew what they said about black men...LOL! "It's twue, it's twue!"
A dime? Does anybody have a dime? Somebody’s got to go back and get a ###full of dimes.
That's 3 times for THAT post! And one of them PROVED you don't have to censor THAT word...LOL!
Love that scene!
10/10, now I gonna go eat some beans around the campfire.

I saw the motor cycle gang, but I don't remember see Surgeons, and how would I know a Methodist.

I think Lamarr mentions them before they attack Rock Ridge.
