I wonder if they put a “trigger warning” at the start of the film now like they do with Rush Hour. Funny that an anti-racist film offends people

HBO Max just started putting a trigger warning ahead of Blazing Saddles.

"Blazing Saddles" is a prime example of how a film can make social commentary while still being entertaining, and without browbeating the audience.

Its one of a handful movies that I have to watch at least once a year.
