I remember I lived with family friends who just got a movie cable. It was on all the time and I would watch bits of it. Every time it comes on I end up watching it. And I have the Mel Brooks greatest hits dvd set and they have some scenes that were deleted.

But yes, I agree that movie could never be made today!
