The man who'll blow your brains out is Marshal Zane Cooper. You've probably heard of him, I know what you're thinking, he's old and decrepit, gums his food AND his women, but he can still shoot straight. After you is ugly Annie Bransford. When she was born, she came out backwards and no one noticed. Hell, when she was little, her parents had to tie a pork chop around her neck so the dog would play with her. When she's making love, she has to pretend SHE'S someone else!
Mel Gibson, James Garner, and Jodie Foster team up with director Richard Donner (Superman, The Goonies, Lethal Weapon) to make what is probably the best comedy western of all time (not that there is much competition, I'd call "Blazing Saddles" a western comedy ;) ). This is just a fun movie where everyone is double and triple-crossed as the main characters live life like it's one giant hand of poker. Throw in cameos that are pretty much a "who's-who" in the history of western film and a poker game grand finale that ranks right up there with "Rounders" and you have a movie that the whole family can enjoy.
