The Quiz: “Blazing Saddles” shares a character with what other Mel Brooks film?
Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Spaceballs
Young Frankenstein
The Producers
When we first meet Boris the Hangman, played by Robert Ridgely, in “Blazing Saddles” (1974) he’s extraordinarily busy down at the gallows because he’s short-staffed. He’s a little more joyful 20 years later in “Robin Hood: Men in Tights” (1993), and chuckles lightheartedly as he fits Robin Hood (Cary Elwes) for a noose. In both films, he kisses the condemned gently on the head.
The correct answer to this quiz is Robin Hood: Men in Tights.
