Peter Sellers on patrol, in front of the bank. He tells the blind man playing the accordian that he needs a licaaaance. He then steps in the monkey's crap. The bank gets robbed under his nose, while the robbers drop a bundle of cash, he picks it up and gives it back to them in their getaway car, then tackles the bank manager who was gonna shoot at them. It starts out with him on patrol, smiling at a pretty girl and she spits in his eye.

Too many people would very offended. The recruiting scene to attack Rock Ridge by all racist stereotypes would offend the magas !

I have the DVD of all the Mel Brooks movies. He is a great writer/director! And if I'm channel surfing and see it on it draws me back in to watch!

Woman: "Why is it so important that you find George?" (George is the household dog.)

Woman: "Your WHAT?"

I've seen that 1930s slapstick comedy classic umpteen times, and that scene ALWAYS cracks me up.

Another funny scene from the movie is a scene where the camera is looking from outside as the characters dine. As the camera comes closer to the closed glass paneled door you can hear a mummer of conversation. The camera keeps getting closer to the point it breaks a pane of glass and the characters stop talking and turn to look at the camera as the camera slowly backs out like a person who made a mistake.
