[@lizmorganjake]

You noticed the Indiana Jones jacket on Lonestar. Another fun fact about this movie is that when Mel Brooks asked George Lucas for permission to spoof Star Wars, one of Lucas's stipulations was not to dress Lonestar like Han Solo. So Brooks dressed him like Indiana Jones 😂😉

[@stevedavis5704]

In return for help with some of the special effects from Lucas they had to agree to no movie merch. It was thought that merch would detract from the star wars stuff already out. So they made fun of the drive to capitalize off of movies by showing what wasn’t offered. I think Lucas missed out on a bunch of free money they could have gotten from a percentage of the movie merch.

[@Terp311]

Correct

[@jonathansmith8672]

That whole doll scene was improvised by Rick Moranis himself! And while filming the take, he had literally everybody on set cracking up, including George Wyner who played Colonel Sanders. And the reason why Wyner's character bursted into the room so panicky and fidgety was because he was actually trying to hurry through the take before he broke character. 😂🤣😅😂🤣😅 And also, the scene where the four main characters go into Yogurt's temple and they meet him for the first time is actually supposed to be referencing "The Wizard of Oz" when they meet the wizard for the first time. And coincidentally, the scene was filmed in the very same soundstage where "The Wizard of Oz" was filmed at MGM (It's now Sony Pictures Studio). 🤗🥰❤️💓

[@jrm48220]

The actor who yells "We aint found shit" would go on to be a prominent member of the Star Trek: Voyager cast.

[@GamingWithGeo]

He would also state many years later, that his Spaceballs line is what he's most known for lol.

[@FFVison]

He was also one of the villains from the episode of TNG where they did the whole baryon sweep of the Enterprise. I knew him for years from Star Trek long before I realized that was him in Spaceballs. In fact, I learned that maybe a month or so ago.

[@BillyBong]

I love how when Moranis has the helmet on he talks deep and then open he talks normal. Even in the desert, he closes and opens the eye area and his voice changes. 😂😂

[@bravedown50]

Robin Hood - Men in Tights gotta be on your list. Another Mel Brooks classic.

[@hshaughnessy17]

Mel Brooks got George Lucas's permission. Lucas only had a couple of requests. No Luke Skywalker character. That is why Lonestar is more Han Solo. Brooks also dressed him like Indiana Jones just to mess with Lucas. Lucas also requested no merchandising. That is why Brooks jokes about all of the merchandising throughout the movie.

"Before you die there is something you should know about us, Lone Starr." "What?" "I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate." "What's that make us?" "Absolutely NOTHING!" Fun Fact: The voice of the self destruct countdown is that of Screenplay Supervisor Julie Pitkanen. Budget Friendly Fact: During his scene, Michael Winslow did most of the sound effects. In the DVD audio commentary for the movie, Mel Brooks jokes that they saved around $1,000 by letting him do this. Doll Balls Fact: The scene in which Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) is playing with his dolls was not in the screenplay. Writer, producer, and director Mel Brooks came up with the idea on the set one day and told this to Rick Moranis, who then improvised the entire scene. Location Location Fact: The castle on the planet Druidia is King Ludwig II's Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria. It has been modified by matte painting with additional ramps. Neuschwanstein Castle has been featured in many motion pictures, and it is the original inspiration for all Disney theme park castles. Star Wars Cameo Fact: The Millennium Falcon from the Star Wars saga makes a cameo appearance in this movie. Take a close look at the exterior shot of the Space Diner, and it can be spotted parked there among the other space vehicles. George Lucas got a chance to read the screenplay before production began, and loved it so much that he decided to have his special effects company, Industrial Light & Magic, help make this movie.

[@RussellCHall]

You found a lot of sh*t ! LOL

[@Deathbird_Mitch]

Lucas's only stipulation was "No Merchandising". That's why Mel Brooks did the Merchandising scene. It was a thinly veiled middle finger to Lucas over that.

[@possibear]

Actually lucas had to ok the movie being made, which came at the cost of not making any merch, which is why there's a running gag showing spaceballs merch.

[@RexFuturi]

​@@possibearHe did not HAVE to okay the movie. Parody is protected from copyright. It was in exchange for using the special effects company that the merchandising was banned.

[@s.henrlllpoklookout5069]

​@Deathbird_Mitch I think it was a thinly-veiled middle finger at how much Star Wars kicked merchandising into overdrive. It existed before Star Wars, just not to the same extent

I love the subtle jokes in this movie! My favorite is in the “We ain’t found shit” scene. Helmet has a bullhorn in his hands and uses it to talk to Col. Sanders who’s sitting right next to him.

24:55 Quite the opposite actually; George Lucas not only gave Mel his blessing to make Spaceballs, he also handed the movie over to his effects company, Industrial Light and Magic (ILM), to provide the effects and postproduction… on the condition that no merchandise was sold commercially, which is why it’s funny that the merch is everywhere in the film. 🤣
