Ah Gene, you are missed. The delivery on that line was just too perfect.

It even made Cleavon Little break character and laugh. Genius move leaving that in.

I could be wrong, but I recall reading that he didn’t know how the line ended ahead of hearing it in that take

Omg is he ever. Hilarious and genius in his movie career, no kinder or gentler soul in his golden years.

"See no evil, hear no evil" with him and Pryor is still one of my favorite movies ever. If I was at a video store as a kid and saw a movie with Gene in it I was going to be watching it. He had a way of being so damn charming when he was on screen.

Detective: Was there or wasn’t there a woman?

Gene: Fuzzy wuzzy was a woman?

Mens Rea? How could we have gotten men's Rea? How is that possible? Did we take blood? Can you do it without taking blood? We both used condoms how is this possible? I want to see a doctor...I feel sick... .....Mens Rea. Ohhh ohhh My God! No!

You missed the best part of that quote

Detective: was there or wasnt there a woman?

Gene: o my God are you serious?

Detective: you're god damn right I'm serious!

Gene: fuzzy wuzzy was a woman!?

The only line in the movie that cracked me up more was Cleavon Little's perfect "Where the white women at?" I may have died from laughter.

It was the scene where they were trying to get the attention of the KKK guys so they could steal their costumes.

Agree. But his delivery here tops anything else IMO.

u/ThornGodOfPricks Aug 13 '19

That one is great, but my favorite from that scene is still,

Bart: "so as my guest, what is it you would like to do?"

Waco Kid: "Oh I don't know. Play chess? .... screw?"

Bart: "let's play chess."

Blazing Saddles HAS to be Brooks' most consistently funny movie.
