He also produced two other Mel Brooks movies: "Silent Movie" and "The Twelve Chairs".

Answer: Louis Bert Lindley Jr.

Slim Pickens, who played Taggart in "Blazing Saddles", was born Louis Bert Lindley Jr.

Answer: Blue

This occurs when Bart says "... me while I whip this out" everyone screams and the woman in blue faints and is caught by some of the band members. Bart takes out the scroll and reads "by the power invested in me, by the honorable William J Le Petomane, I hereby assume the duties of the office of sheriff in and for the township of Rock Ridge."

Answer: Jim

"My name's Jim, but most people call me... Jim."

Answer: When?

Bart says this to Jim, after Jim swigs down half a bottle of whiskey and woke up in a jail cell.

Answer: They darker than us!

Taggart even mentioned later on that they killed all the indi'n folk, just to get a sheriff blacker than any indi'n.

Answer: Harriet the Schoolmarn

She comopsed a letter to Gov. Lepetomane showing her extreme dislike to having a black sheriff.

Answer: Knock on barbed wire before entering

In this scene, the camera pans across the horses, to the sign, and then onto the men seated around the campfire.

Answer: "I Get a Kick Out Of You"

This thoroughly confused the white overseers, who then went on to sing and dance to "Camptown Ladies."

Answer: 11

This is probably the most famous scene of the film. There are 11 men sitting around the fire eating beans and making crude noises. Mongo is sat alone and away from the main fire -- so isn't one of the eleven.

Answer: The candygram

Mongo rode in on a simmental steer. The Waco Kid told Sheriff Bart not to wear a gun belt. "If you shoot him, you'll only make him mad." Bart found Mongo in the bar and presented him with the first candygram.

Answer: Yes and No

This is also a very funny scene. Mongo rides into town, smashes the town up, and Bart blows him up with a candygram. The extra funny bit in this scenario is when the man comes into the sheriff's office and says, "Sheriff, Mongo's in town, he's..." then turns to Bart and says the same thing. It's even funnier when he opens the door and shouts "the fool's gonna...I mean the sheriff's gonna do it."

Answer: Apple Pie

The little old lady knocks at his window after Bart deals with Mongo. She's thanking Bart for the way he handled the Mongo situation.

Answer: Lili Von Shtupp

Boston-born Madeline Kahn has starred in over 15 films since her screen debut in 1968, which include Mel Brooks' film "Young Frankenstein."

Answer: Jesse Owens

Bart says this after being 'busted' in-line at Hedley's criminal signing-on point. Jesse Owens won four gold medals for the USA in the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

Answer: 10 cents

Another very funny scene of the movie! Bart, Mongo and Jim put the toll booth in place so the people of Rock Ridge have more time to create cardboard cutouts of people in the 'fake' Rock Ridge. It works too, as Taggart's men pay to get through rather than just riding around.

Answer: Raisinettes

After trying to get into the cinema with a student card, Hedley goes to the snack counter and asks for Raisinettes, just as a herd of cows stampede through the cinema in the background.
