10 Things You Didn't Know About SpaceBalls (The Re-Upload)

[@cjmarshall0221]

One thing about Rick Moranis' retirement. After his wife, Ann Belsky, died in 1991, Rick decided to step away from Hollywood to provide proper care for his two children. I find this very impressive. Here's a man who decided to step back from a brilliant career to take on the responsibility of single parent. Many would have simply hired others to do the job. But Rick knows the importance of being a father to his kids - particularly given the fact that their mother is gone. A real true gentleman, in every sense of the word!

Lucas' own company Industrial Light & Magic even provided some of the special effects for the film!

Mel Brooks is a very interesting man. He was a combat engineer and was one of the many that took part in the Battle of the Bulge. Who would imagine such a goofy guy in the military? It may have been a major part of his movie humor sources. He has my respect for pushing or just battering the limits of humor, like with Blazing Saddles, an all time great, and knowing of his, and many of the best actors of the 60's to 90's, and I see a new generation of actors and actresses that served their country getting into acting.

It would be great to see the movie with him as some kind of anti-hero and the the other cast somehow gets roped into helping him do something or other. Many sequels seem so forced because they want to follow the formula of the original show but I really think if they ever did a sequel that it should be in the same universe but with a different point of view. That and I frickin miss Rick Moranis. That man is a national treasure. Even if the sequel was terrible, I'd love it if he was in it.

Spaceballs had several scenes re-shot for the TV-Edited edition. While some might consider it a 'dumbing down' of the original I personally found the edited version to be more entertaining than the full version. It didn't remove any of the adult jokes, but 'bleeped' out most of the language (which I personally just find more funny than the words themselves). Two scenes in particular stand out as having been re-done. The whole 'asshole' scene was changed to 'moron' (which makes more sense to me, personally) as well as 'A $#!7load of money' was changed to a drawn-out "loooooooot of money". Note these are not just dubbed over. You can tell via intonation and lip synch that the scenes were entirely re-shot. These scenes are also entirely unavailable, as I have never been able to see them outside of the VHS Recording my family made back when I was 5 years old and they were not included in any DVD re-releases.

Pulmovox, A little off track here, but I know what you mean. I saw "Halloween" in the theater in 1978, but missed the verson that was televised a year or so later. This was where some laguage, violence and nudity were cut by the network and Carpenter was asked to re-shoot extra scenes to pad out the running time. Thanks to youtube, I was lucky to see the fillers, but they were out-of-context, plus, they were never added to the dvd releses. You can only find these filler scenes on certain "special" VHS versions. Who knew such love for a movie could be so confusing. 🙂🫠😄

Space balls 3: search for space balls 2 is literally the perfect title if they ever go for a sequel...but they kinda made those last 3 movies spoof proof by making them as terrible as possible

[@dougrobinson8602]

If anybody thought Spaceballs would tarnish the memory of Star Wars, it's nothing compared to what Disney did.

[@furiouskaiser9914]

Would be hilarious if they did a spoof of the sequel SW trilogy, and the spoof was better written.

[@laurencefraser]

@@furiouskaiser9914 I get the impression that all That would take is for the writer and director to actually be competent, and not hate the franchise.

Love the dark layout on your shooting location man

[@ankida]

I’m glad I’m in the universe where it was called Space Balls. I can’t imagine a better title. 1987 was the year I was born, so I’m glad to share the year 😏

[@trollusa3206]

Great movie. John Candy will forever be a legend and Rick M made the best dark helmet I can imagine

"One way or another Star Wars will always be with us." Not if Kathleen Kennedy has anything to say about it.

[@melangellatc1718]

"Not Another Teen Movie" was the greatest spoof movie ever.

I’ve always considered Mel Brooks one of the best trolls to ever troll... and if the Dink commentary doesn’t prove that to everyone idk what will.

[@helenmersek8554]

No wonder he plays Yogurt. 😆

[@mrcootes489]

We have the same sentiment on this movie.good video!!!!

[@Coaster_Crazy]

I love Spaceballs and to this day is still one of the funniest films ever made

[@jasonsadler361]

I also had no idea there was a Spaceballs Animated Series, that was until I stumbled upon a true crime video about someone that happened to be a storyboard supervisor for that show.

[@sharkdentures3247]

While a sequel MIGHT have been amusing, the time to do it has long since passed! Time to just be happy with what we got.

[@craigdurso3005]

One of my favorite Mel Brooks comedies from my childhood and that still makes me laugh as an adult. I know it sucks we couldn’t have legit Spaceballs merchandise for the time because George Lucas not wanting any merchandise made so kids or the toy marketers wouldn’t confuse them for Star Wars merchandise. But if it meant we got that hilarious merchandising scene out of it, then I’m fine without having Spaceballs merchandise.
