The Ultimate Western Spoof. A town where everyone seems to be named Johnson is in the way of the railroad. In order to grab their land, Hedley Lemar, a politically connected nasty person, sends in his henchmen to make the town unlivable. After the sheriff is killed, the town demands a new sheriff from the Governor. Hedley convinces him to send the town the first Black sheriff in the west. Bart is a sophisticated urbanite who will have some difficulty winning over the townspeople.

Madeline KahnLili Von Shtupp ((performer: "I'm Tired"))The role of Bart was intended for Richard Pryor, but due to the controversial nature of Pryor's stand-up routines of the day and his background, 'Mel Brooks (I)' couldn't secure financing for the project with Pryor in that role. So Pryor was made a co-writer of the script, and Cleavon Little played Bart. Pryor later got to star in a different western comedy - Adi?s Amigo (1976).
[the Johnsons load their guns and point them at Bart. Bart then points his own pistol at his head]
Bart:
[speaking in a low voice] Hold it! Next man makes a move, the nigger gets it!
Olson Johnson:
Hold it, men. He's not bluffing.
Dr. Sam Johnson:
Listen to him, men, he's just crazy enough to do it!
Bart:
[low voice] Drop it! Or I swear I'll blow this nigger's head all over this town!
Bart:
[now speaking in a higher voice] Oh, lo'dy, lo'd, he's desp'it! Do what he sayyyy, do what he sayyyy...
[the Johnsons drop their guns. Bart jams the gun into his neck and drags himself through the crowd and towards the station]
Harriett Van Johnson:
Isn't anybody going to help that poor man?
Dr. Sam Johnson:
Hush, Harriet, that's a sure way to get him killed!
Bart:
[higher voice] Oooh! He'p me, he'p me! Somebody he'p me! He'p me! He'p me! He'p me!
Bart:
[lower voice] Shut up!
[Bart places his hand over his own mouth, drags himself through the door into his office]
Bart:
Ooh, baby, you are so talented! And they are so DUMB!
Continuity: Towards the end of the movie, Taggart kicks over a building and discovers the town is fake. Soon thereafter, the building, "Livery and Saddle Shop", is shown back upright and is then blown up.

¡Viva la muerte... tua!Kid BlueCarambolaHonky TonkAmico, stammi lontano almeno un palmoWith more than a million titles, it isn't feasible to handpick recommendations for every film. That's why we came up with a formula to suggest titles that fit along with the selected one. The formula uses factors such as user votes, genre and keywords to generate an automatic response. The system produces relevant results most of the time but since recommended titles are not manually chosen, occasionally they may include less than perfect matches.
