Blazing Saddles Episode 71: Hedley's Army

The Wilder Ride

The dolly shot continues down the lines of bad guys all lined up for Hedley's Army. We see bandits and cowboys followed by German WWII soldiers and an aviator who looks just like Mel Brooks. There are other desperadoes mixed in with biker gang members, moonshine runners, plantation owners and Arabian fighters on camel-back. The line wraps up with a pair of Klansman. Behind a boulder, Bart and Jim look over the villainous line of thugs and criminals. As the minute ends, Taggart calls the first man up and Hedley asks for qualifications. The man simply answers, "Rape, murder, arson and rape."
