Even though it’s an all time classic could it be made in the worlds current climate?

No.

Well, this was a quick thread. What else do y'all want to talk about?

If Gene Wilder were still alive today, he’d be cancelled for it nearly 50 years after the fact.

Thinking back though I can’t recall. Other than Granny’s “n-bomb” was there anything else that charged?

All I remember is that line and the campfire fart scene.

The Hangover Director Todd Phillips said in a recent interview that it could not be made today due to wokeness & ultra PC culture & he has completely given up doing comedy movies. It came out in 2009 & we have come this far in that time period. Scary.

yes,

if it starred LeBron
and Hedley Lamarr were killed in the end , the Gunfighter role played by a woman

the townspeople don't just accept blacks. Irish and Chinese but gay and trans

I like the negotiation between the townspeople and the railroad workers joining forces to defeat Hedley's henchmen. The workers request that they be allowed to live in Rock Ridge. The townsfolk murmur and grumble, but finally say, "We'll take the n****** and ch****, but no Irish!"
That's one of the funniest lines in a movie full of funny lines.

Yes. Brooks said it couldn't have been made in the 70s.

People are hyper-vigilant to be outraged. Look at the story on the OT about the lady selling yellow stars. There are idiots who actually interpret her actions as anti-Semitic.

Plenty of honkies using the n-bombs in Django. Some things would be done differently but it could happen with the right people behind it

Several boards here prove that point.
