Test yourself! Take this Blazing Saddles Quiz | Movies

A quick quiz on 'Blazing Saddles', one of my favourite films. If you've seen it, or, better still, heard Mel Brooks' DVD commentary, it won't be too hard. I hope that Mel Brooks adapts it for the stage next, after the success of 'The Producers'.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. An easy one to start - which actor portrays Jim, the 'Waco Kid'?

Answer: Gene Wilder

Marty Feldman was in 'Young Frankenstein' with Gene Wilder, but was not involved in Blazing Saddles. Mel Brooks directed and co-wrote the film, and appeared as the Governor and an Indian Chief. Cleavon Little was Bart, the Sheriff and hero of the film.

2. How many flavours of ice cream are available in the ice cream store in the town of Rock Ridge?

Answer: One

Howard Johnson's parlour sells 1 flavour.

3. What is the name of Bart's friend from the railroad, who has a shaven head and wears a brown bowler (or Derby) hat (Character name)?

Answer: Charlie

I may be sad, but I always get a bit of a lump in my throat when Bart rides back into the railroad camp for the first time as a sheriff - one of the nice things about this film is as well as being very funny, you actually come to care about the central characters.

4. What is the surname of all the residents of Rock Ridge (except Bart and Jim)?

Answer: Johnson

Howard, Van and Gabby are among the illustrious residents of the Warner Brothers backlot.

5. What does Hedley Lamarr do to Taggart when Taggart says 'We'll head them off at the pass'?

Answer: Shoots him in the foot for using a cliche

Bart hits Taggart with a shovel after getting out of the {quicksand;} Hedley loses his Froggie in the {tub;} and Bart invents the candygram to get the whup of Mongo ('and they probably won't give me the credit for it'.) Well, that was it - hope you enjoyed it. I managed to do the whole thing without referring once to the famous campfire scene (Damn!). I wanted to get more pithy, but this is a family site.
