7 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Spaceballs

[@heidifedor]

The scene where Dark Helmet plays with his dolls was completely improvised by Rick Moranis.

[@sha11235]

Read about that on imdb trivia. That by the way, is the only time Barf and Helmet have any dialogue together, notice?

[@andymanaus1077]

This is one of those rare movies that gets funnier every time you watch it. Mel Brooks once said that in order to parody something well, you first had to love the target you were parodying and second your production values and performances had to be at least as good as the original. I think Spaceballs aced both.

[@frenchfriedbagel7035]

[@R.M.MacFru]

There is just *so* much to see, it's not that surprising. I went to see it with about a half dozen other SF fans. Afterwards we compared what in jokes each of us had noticed. There are was a heck of a list. I noticed that they had gone to more than a little trouble just to cast the bartender in the scene at the diner/bar. If you remember the original Warner Bros. cartoon with the singing frog, the construction worker who found it looked an awful lot like the bartender guy in that scene who had the same reaction to the singing chestburster.

The reason we don't see them is because the team behind the Scary Movie "franchise" beat the screwball parody genre to death with horribly unfunny attempts at making the next Spaceballs or Naked Gun. The ultimate in fail to this was Disaster Movie, which wasn't even a parody of movies... it was a string of movie TRAILER parodies. One of the worst movies I've ever streamed.

[@jasonblalock4429]

If you want a show in the same style as Naked Gun/Police Squad, look for a short-lived British series from a few years ago called "A Touch Of Cloth." It's the closest thing to a modern-day update of the ZAZ formula that I've seen. (And co-written by Charlie Brooker.)

Am I the only one that thinks Dark Helmet's laser powered concussive micro-wave beam to the nuts was far scarier than getting Force Choked by Vader? I mean, Vader is by far the more intimidating villain, but Dark Helmet's punishments are just unnecessarily cruel and unusual. Even though I still have no idea what that thing does exactly, I know I'd rather be choked to death by Darth Vader than be subjected to that and that is a terrifying realization.

I think they’re worried that royalties gained won’t make up for the revenue lost when someone buys Dark Helmet over Darth Vader. If they cost the same price and you get 100% revenue on one and 10% revenue on the other, wouldn’t you want to cut the second option out so that you are guaranteed the 100%?

@@WeepingAngels91 i heavily doubt that Space Balls merch would take away from Star Wars sales... I guess most people would rather buy both Vader and Helmet...

[@Arch3r666]

the reason for the veto isn't because of Lucas being a bad guy, it was because of what happened with Star Trek merchandise when it first came out. Lucas want to plug the possible loophole with toy producers wanting to make a quick buck off Star War's popularity by marketing as Spaceballs merch, "based on Star Wars", which would of skirted profits off Star Wars licencing of merchandise and creating legal headache for the loophole Lucas would of allowed

Following the start of the end credits, I've always hoped that Neal would have invited Del to stay the night, and helped Del in some small way to get back on his feet the next day.

We all do... From his early work in SNL..

Through a variety of comedy jaunts "The Great Outdoors" , "Who's Harry Crumb"... To a warmth and depth of character rolls, "Uncle Buck" and "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles"... John Candy showed himself as an actor, comic, and more importantly a human being in every roll he took on. It didn't matter whether it was some bit part in the sidelines or helping another actor upstage... Or if he was the unbridled focal point of the skit, sketch, or running gag... He pushed himself and put quality above everything. He is and shall be missed... sorely... :o)

Nationalist kleptocracy created fa, refuse value of life and human rights. Take from society, use not for society, use for golden toilet trash disease, is stealing. Reward for worsening, over reward is kleptocracy support, steal reward system. Not only artificial inflation, kill by stealing safety, cripple to death, non direct kill, they steal money, money they are printed. They not deserved golden toilets. They not have right on other life. They not deserve worship. They did nothing good. They so powerful, they are only enemy to them. They so powerful, they can create legal approved law, law by which they self must be killed. Support nationalist kleptocracy, participate in war crime. Nationalization without nation, mafia nationalist kleptocracy divide humanity by nations to cover war crime, nationalist slavery ownership, market division. Wikipedia false nation definition changed always. Commanders not kill directly, give orders and blame soldiers, soldiers forced to kill, blame generals, walking Milgram experiments. They kill for nations, they not know what nation is, nationalist kleptocracy protector, false value guard, false enemy fighter. Not can distinguish between race and nation. To participate in war crime, not necessary join false nation definition army, and direct kill innocent by sarin, artillery or napalm.

Work in okrestina, protect golden toilet and serve as walking Milgram experiment. Work in booz academy, call theft as salary, loose taxes of others, spend for trash, this pressed other life, may kill too. Reward for worsening is theft, kleptocracy, but if it called salary, they will believe that salary is deserved. Pay for false nation definition propaganda TV, help to create war criminals. Even buy food, pay taxes, nationalists kleptocrates use taxes for war crimes, taxes not for society, taxes for golden toilets. Buying food is very small part in war crime, non direct kill, may not count as war crime. Steal taxes, call it salary, most will believe it is deserved, buy pool of booz death sticks, non direct kill, may not count as food, this is much bigger. Support false nation definition tradition, godless religion, culture, nationalization without nation create war criminals, non direct kill, but huge participation in war crimes, even more than soldier. These was based on hilterugend science academy methods, that based on golden toilet godless Pharaoh pyramid kleptocracy slavery 4000 years ago. They told that they build new perfect society. Phase 1.

Some damned fool ten commandments crusade win with zero possibility by magic crystals. Lie propaganda nationalist kleptocracy. Looks great. Build small country, or huge money for special effects and orchestra. This is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause. Smuggler, contraband, mercenaries, scoundrel, scum, moron, sithhole, nitwit, rogue and other republic light side class characters. Narcologist barmen. Cantina on every planet of Universe. In lukas world all aliens are narologists barmen. Jedi walks into bar, to make children do same, or try death sticks. Reward for worsening is stealing, kleptocracy. Princess queen monarchy of naboo, so good person, because she wear golden toilet, or she is walking golden toilet. Perfect life style, non direct election, vote for other voters, who vote for other voters, who vote for mafia illigal authority of nationalists kleptocracy. Good is, reward for worsening system, with republic or democracy non direct election, transfer power from citizens to slaver illigal mafia authority. Bad is, reward for worsening system, with monarchy, empire, because princess golden toilet queen of naboo say so. All princess wear golden toilet. Bandit war criminals empire worsening life for no reason. Bandit war criminals republic do same for no reason, why better?

[@nightfallalicorn4246]

I can't believe I didn't notice the Millennium Falcon was parked outside that dinner.

[@phoenix895]

Lonestar's License plate and The President's call sign in Independence Day. Hugely overlooked easter egg.

[@Zorak9595]

Please elaborate

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

I wonder what happened to the first four...

[@shadowspector3611]

"What the heck am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie?"

[@KevinKnutson]

now

[@gamelord5053]

Shadow Spector your looking at now... Everything that happens now is happening now.

[@LudaChez]

Shadow Spector but when will then be now?

[@shadowspector3611]

Soon.

[@matthiasplatz5919]

Shadow Spector How soon?

[@mordredmetal]

RIP John Candy!

[@corvus1253]

Love this movie. For a time, I had just about the whole movie memorized.

[@jacobschmidt2771]

Now do things you didn't know about Blazing Saddles!!

[@AnInternetUser1]

"Where the white women at?"

[@Werewolf_Korra]

Jacob Schmidt PISS ON YOU, I'M WORKING FOR MEL BROOKS! I would be very surprised if that WASN'T a reference to something someone said on stage, given the massive cred Brooks has.

[@terr256]

Just saw this movie. It's great. I can't believe I waited this thing

[@chrisbrasel9049]

The producers needs one now!

[@shortsaround5933]

My great aunt Aneta Corsaut was in that

[@blazingsilver7218]

"I knew it, I'm surround by assholes" "And not in the good way!"

[@jimcars6468]

How is there ever a good way? Just curious.

[@LeeorEngelstein]

Damn i could of had like 10 more facts. Its really one of the all time great movies

[@Morgil27]

Interesting fact: as a kid, I saw Sapaceballs long before ever seeing Star Wars.

[@jamesrempel8522]

Same. Watching Star Wars was a pretty weird experience.

[@tss3393]

Barf: "What the *hell* was that!?" Lone Star: "...Spaceball 1!" Barf: "They've gone to *plaid!* "

[@rylee2209]

"What? You went over my helmet?!?!"

[@mikester1290]

Well, it was more kind of round the side sir..

[@KandiKlover]

*shields balls*

[@steellegacy1984]

I don't understand that part

[@creeksider248]

You forgot: SPACEBALLS THE ANIMATED SERIES! The 2008 series featured Mel, Joan Rivers, and Daphne Zuniga! I'm surprised you guys didn't put that in the vid! Anyway, Thumbs Up!

[@Zorak9595]

Please don't remind the world of that piece of garbage cash in. Was Mel Brooks actually involved? I can't believe he'd put his good name on that.

[@SillagorillaSkates]

I saw this in the drive in theater when I was 5.. Then I just kept saying " We ain't found shit!"

[@Zorak9595]

Arguably the best scene in the movie

[@danielbjorklund2362]

Jam the radar...one glass jar jam on it's way. Gold

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

2:48 John Hurt was in that diner. He even reprised his alien-bursting-from-his-chest sequence!

[@HarryJohnClarke]

No John Hurt mention?!?! Great vid tho😋

[@eldorados_lost_searcher]

Harry Clarke "Oh no. Not again."

[@BooneErica]

That one is a no brainer lol.

[@Paulafan5]

It kind of ruined Alien for me because I saw Space Balls before seeing Alien.

[@jamesbailey2377]

Hahaha, same here.

[@R.M.MacFru]

"Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal..."

[@tec5x5]

That's no ship its a Transformer!

[@MrNateSPF]

That's why there's a Transformer on the Spaceballs: The Coloring Book.

[@tec5x5]

wha?? did you even watch the movie? OR this vid what I said was a direct quote from Barf about Mega Maid ! The reason why there TFs in the merchandising scene was that at the time of filming was the most spacey looking stuff to slap Spaceballs over the TF logo

[@JakkFrost1]

+tec5x5 channel ~ ...you just don't get it, do you? It's a meta-joke. That's _why_ they used a piece of merch with Optimus Prime on it for that scene, because of the later Transformer gag. Do you really think they'd design all that real-looking Spaceballs merch for one single scene and suddenly cheap out on a piece that Yogurt specifically brings to the viewers attention?

[@Zorak9595]

Jakk Frost I actually think MrNate was just joking, but you do make a very good point.

[@VulpisFoxfire]

She's gone from suck to blow!

[@Sabree-Skye]

I hate it when I get my Schwartz twisted

[@pierrepellerin249]

I saw that movie in theater on release day with a bunch of college buddies, Best parody movie ever and we went back 2 more times the following week end. So many iconic 80s movies...

[@carlottarobbins7005]

I don't know if this fact is common knowledge or not, but I'd like to share Fact #8, anyway: actor Rick Moranis (Dark Helmet) made up the entire dialogue with the action figures, in spite of being ill with a high fever that day.

[@MonkeyJedi99]

Or aided by the fever? Eh?

[@kovalfetterer8691]

Awww hell yeah!!!!!!!😀😀😀😀 Please do a part 2!!!!!!!!!😀😀😀😀😀

[@celo2043]

best space movie ever!

[@NachoBuster390]

"There goes the planet" XD

[@theunknown2772]

Spaceballs is probably one of the funniest movies ever made

[@SpaceWizardCosplay]

Another fun, yet less-known fact: Voice actor Rob Paulsen (Yakko from "The Animaniacs" and much more) was the other other guy in the "combing the desert" scene alongside Tim Russ. He also voiced the Dinks in Yogurt's residence. And was one of the guys who helped Dark Helmet up after he crashed into panel right after the "ludicrous speed / emergency break" scene.

[@ForrestFrank]

Do some more Mel Brooks stuff!!
