If anybody had the guts to do it, it would be Mel Brooks.
I was watching "Spaceballs" again (it's great brain Draino after too much politics), and this time I 'got' the Jewish humor. I also think he'd take a lot of flak if he made it with so much PC running around.
I'm not a huge fan of his movies, but watching him makes me smile. He's one guy who's having the time of his life and loves what he's doing.
There is no way Blazing Saddles could be made today.
