The final fight scene of the movie breaks through the wall onto the next sound stage, and then into the studio commisary where the cook yells "get your pies for the pie fight". A tour group proceeds to walk through the scene and walk out with pie on their faces. The fight then moves out onto the street, and people start running out the studio gate. The villain (Hedy Lamar - "That's HEDLEY!" - "Look Schmuck, it's 1864, in 50 years you can sue her"), hails a cab and tells the driver to "drive me off this picture". He gets out of the cab and starts to walk into a movie theatre that's showing, you guessed it, Blazing Saddles, whereupon the heroes ride up (on horses), a fight ensues, and the villain is shot to death. The heroes then walk into the theatre to "see how the movie turns out". On the screen of the theatre the hero is riding out of town ("my job here is done"). He stops to gather his sikekick, and they then ride over the hill. They then hand their horses to studio grooms and ride off into the sunset in a limo. Happy Holidays all Miles Fidelman
