Blazing Saddles remake

"The year is 1874. Railroad construction runs into quicksand and the path needs re-routing, but the tiny town of Rock Ridge stands in the way of progress. Territorial Attorney General Hedley (not Hedy) Lamarr schemes to get his hands on the now-priceless real estate by hiring thugs to kill the sheriff and terrify the locals into leaving. When they don't leave, Lamarr convinces bumbling Governor William J. LePetomane to appoint a black man named Bart – awaiting a death sentence for striking a white man – as the new sheriff, a move calculated to result in Bart being killed by the racist townspeople and/or said townspeople leaving in disgust (which would give Lamarr free rein over the land). Once Bart arrives in Rock Ridge, Hilarity Ensues. Adding to the fun are alcoholic gunslinger The Waco Kid and sexy German chanteuse Lili Von Shtupp and an indestructible giant named Mongo, among others".-Tv Tropes
