* The scene where Black Bart and the Waco Kid stand up to Taggart and his men at the railroad. After an hour of black characters passively accepting racial abuse, Bart tells Taggart to "watch that 'boy' shit, redneck." As that villains line up to kill Bart, there's real tension in that scene, complete with dramatic music, as if they might actually JustShootHim. And saving the hero is up to the Waco Kid, a character we don't quite believe in yet. He proceeds to blast the guns out of each of the bad guys' hands so fast it looks like he didn't even move. A brilliant scene on many levels.

* Along the way, the film gave Cleavon Little his greatest role as Sheriff Bart, one of the great heroes of the Western film genre. It's as well that Frankie Laine sang the theme in complete earnestness: after all, with Bart: "He conquered fear and he conquered hate/He turned dark night into day/he made his blazing saddle a torch to light the way!"

Specifying exactly where on the walk of fame Headly signed his name


* The final battle provides examples for both Bart and Hedley Lamarr. Ordinarily [[DirtyCoward the bad guy running away]] is anything but awesome, but when Lamarr does so, [[NoFourthWall he literally leaves the movie itself]]. Then, Bart follows his lead, chasing him all the way to a theater showing his film. And while it's not commented on, [[FridgeBrilliance Hedley hiding in a theater showing his film may be a smarter move than you think, as it allowed him to see Bart was on his heels]]. Then, after Hedley tricks Bart into dropping his gun, he's still able to get the first draw anyway. And then, despite [[GroinAttack getting shot in the groin]], Lamarr still [[TheDeterminator uses his remaining strength to sign his name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame]].

* Bart stalling Lamarr's army with a toll booth. Sure, it could only ever work against a bunch of idiots, but in Bart's defense, he knew that they fit that bill.

Added DiffLines:

* Credit where it's due to [[BigBad Hedley Lamarr]]. When it looks like his plan has failed and he has no chance, he then goes on to recruit literally every single type of villain that he can think of. It didn't work out, but you might be forgiven for admiring [[TheDeterminator just how far he's willing to go when the chips are down]], even [[AwardSnub risking his Oscar nomination]]. And while [[NegatedMomentOfAwesome it's quickly negated by their almost immediate incompetence]], there's something awesome about Lamarr triumphantly and dastardly posing as he watches his army charge.
