One of my favs. RIP Mr. Wilder.

It's pronounced Fronk-in-steen

I'm sure he and Mr. Pryor are walking down the halls talking about how 'bad' they are right now.

Man, that sucks. That guy was the anchor in so many movies from my youth. I will watch Blazing Saddles, Silver Streak, and others every time I randomly find them. And the kids still like his Wonka more than Depp's.

 

[MaroonNation]

Wonka was probably the darkest movie he ever did. Every time I see it I catch another shocking image That I never noticed before.

Nice knockers

Rip

RIP. No way he was just 83. He looked old in all his movies.

 

[MaroonNation]

The last time I watched it I caught the live chicken being beheaded in the images on the wall of the tunnel

Thanks. That's the scene. Pryor says something lite "you whities sure have a tight ***".

Not many people realized a chicken got his head lopped off during the tunnel ride.

"Nowhere special....I always wanted to go there."

RIP, Frisco kid.

Cleavon Little, Harvey Korman, Madeline Khan, Slim Pickens, Richard Pryor, Gene Wilder...

Once Mel Brooks kicks the bucket they should be able to make the much anticipated Blazing Saddles 2 in heaven.

 

[Dawg1976]

I thought the opposite. Never would have thought he was that old. RIP......

Mr. Wilder may be gone but his work was timeless and will endure a long long time. RIP

This movie could never be made today.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Not gonna lie. I actually assumed he had already passed since I hadn't heard from him in decades. Well, not me personally. We weren't pen pals.

Another sad loss. I don't recall a movie of his I didn't like.

 

[MaroonNation]

Did you also know in Apocolypse Now the cow massacre scene was real. The director knew the cow was slated to be sacrificed by the tribe so he filmed them doing it then put it in the movie. I remember seeing the scene and thinking damn that looked real.
