*good is dumb* Spaceballs MOVIE REACTION (First Time Watching)

[@thethesaxman23]

I absolutely love "Spaceballs: The Thumbnail"

[@victornewmanforever]

I'm surprised you know who Joan Rivers is but it makes me appreciate you even more. Brooks was not satisfied with her dialogs so he asked her to come up with her own lines.

[@sharkdentures3247]

I approve of your video title. "Good is Dumb" is my favorite line. (because it is funny, but also a bit philosophical) Good timing with the seeing of Alien just before this. You didn't really miss anything with the "Rambo" reference. It was just about the fact that Rambo is very bad@$$ with a gun. (taking down multiple enemies) That's all.

[@NewTypeDilemma01]

It still floors me that John Hurt had agreed to parody himself with the diner scene.

[@GrantWaller.-hf6jn]

[@chrismaverick9828]

I wish they'd been able to get all of the original cast. That'd have been awesome

[@raybernal6829]

Mel Brooks asked George permission to do this parody and he said yes. Only stipulation was Mel couldn't do any merchandising thats why he did the bit in the movie. Mel also based Lone Star on both Han Solo and Indiana Jones. Mel also used ILM to do the special effects. ... As always loved your reaction your smiles were so good.... ❤

[@stephenkehl7158]

In addition to the merchandising stipulation, Lucas required Lone Starr could not be costumed similar to Han Solo. Brooks said fine, no problem, and proceeded to make him Indiana Jones.

[@TheNighthawke502]

Galaxy Quest (while a kind of Star Trek parody) thankfully doesn't require any Star Trek knowledge, since they make more fun of the associated fandom than the actual shows. As a result, I highly recommend it since it is absolutely hilarious! Also, fun fact: like George Lucas with Spaceballs, many of the cast and crew of Star Trek shows have publicly commented on how much they loved "Galaxy Quest", to the point where they actively persuaded their more reticent counterparts to go and watch it too!

[@bigdream_dreambig]

It's interesting that the "Aliens" crew with John Hurt was populated by, not lookalikes, exactly, but "look-similars."

[@ariachanson01]

I didn't notice that. That is interesting

[@0okamino]

Yeah, besides Kane, I think there’s Fort Worth, Tearley, Dust, Sheepert, Driver, and Celt. Close enough.

[@bigdream_dreambig]

For those who didn't follow 0okamino's comment: Fort Worth ~ Dallas [neighboring Texas cities] Tearley [pronounced tare-lee] ~ Ripley Dust ~ Ash Sheepert ~ Lambert Driver ~ Parker Celt ~ Brett [this is the biggest stretch, via Brett/Brit (as in British)]

[@0okamino]

@@bigdream_dreambig I thought it was a clever stretch, though, since Brett does derive from Breton. :D

[@supremedream1764]

If you look real closely at 22:18, you can see the millennium falcon sitting ten feet from the diner! 😄

[@jerrywalters8885]

Also cool. The black guy in the desert with the pick is same actor as Tuvok in VOYAGER series. And the plastic surgeon nurse a is an accomplished actress with many credits including captain of main shipvin STARSHIP TROOPERS

He was a mix of Han Solo and Indiana Jones.

[@Sherman1fan]

Yogurt statue scene calls back to seeing the Wizard (of Oz), lots of other small things here and there. Radar operator is from Police Academy movies (also another franchise that' is very funny.) So great that you researched Star Wars and its creation. There is also a scene of Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) speaking real lines rather than the grunts and howls we hear. You are awesome!

Hi Aria , I really enjoyed and loved your reaction to space balls this is like my favorite mel brooks movies and it's so hilarious😂❤

[@bjgandalf69]

Rick Moranis (Dark Helmet) is mostly known for being in the "Honey, I shrunk the" Disney film franchise and in Ghostbusters. He started on the Canadian TV series SCTV, which is like their version of SNL along with other comedy greats, most notably John Candy.

[@stephanginther9051]

13:03 Fun fact about this entire scene and what they call their offbrand force. George Lukas *loved* this movie and he was given the script in order to approve a lot of it. He even allowed a very brief cameo of the Millennium Falcon (its in the parking lot of the diner they go to) While Lukas was cool, the company that made merch for Star Wars wasn't. They demanded that Spaceballs was not allowed to make *any* merch. That company was the *Shwartz* company...the most powerful force in the universe apparently.

[@paulobrien9572]

At the end of the movie if you look closely in the diner parking lot you will see the Millennium Falcon

[@ariachanson01]

Oooh I'm gonna watch it again:)

[@theramplocal]

I never noticed that! Def going to rewatch it this weekend

[@JW666]

Dark Helmet is Rick Moranis, you have seen him in Ghostbusters 1 and 2. He's also known for Little Shop of Horrors and the Honey, I Shrunk The Kids trilogy. There's been talks about a possible Spaceballs 2, but Mel Brooks said he would only do it If Rick Moranis returned as Dark Helmet. But Mel is in his 90's so I sadly doubt it will happen, he recently produced a sequel TV-show to his movie History of the World, part 1. Rick Moranis retired from acting in the middle of the 90's because his wife had passed away and he decided to raise their kids. He's been mostly doing voice acting in some projects and he did a comeback a couple of years ago by appearing in a commercial with Ryan Reynolds (who was star struck). It's been said that Moranis would be in a planned Honey, I Shrunk The Kids reboot.

[@jimspetdragons3737]

Spaceballs 2 has been discussed recently. Brooks has stated that the movie is happening. We'll see... (He is 96 currently). Lone Star is both the Luke Skywalker & Han Solo characters. It's good to know some Star Trek culture B4 watching Galaxy Quest, but not required. I' recommend watching at least 1-2 ST movies B4 watching GQ. The points of reference are better than just knowing some trivias of the ST culture.

[@williamwoods5592]

I really love your reaction to this movie Spaceballs. Whenever I watch movie with you I really enjoy myself watching you react to movies and just watching you laugh and just enjoying yourself and I really enjoy your company. Watching this movie Spaceballs with you I really really enjoy myself more because watching movies with you are a lot of fun and I really enjoy your company and I really enjoy watching this movie with you a lot.😮😮❤❤

[@jerrywalters8885]

If look close can see Millineum Falcon in Cafe lot at end. And now you know where Tesla got the Plaid model and Ludicrous speed mode. Lol

[@bjgandalf69]

The whole finding the Yogurt statue bit is a parody of the "man behind the curtain" bit in the Wizard of Oz.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

3:01 At some point, when I first saw this movie, I found myself wondering if, during this sequence, the camera was going to pan past a sign that read, "Big ship, isn't it?"

[@Roller-Ball]

Glad to see someone love the humor for what it was meant to be. Just fun.

[@brian554xx]

My sister has a "Spaceballs, the facemask" (of Covid era). Your calm demeanor is as cherishable as in Alien. More so with your mirth in this one.

[@lordmortarius538]

LOL, Spaceballs: The Thumbnail got me

[@HorrorGenreLady]

I used to quote this movie so much as a kid especially when my parents would misplace something and they would ask me about it I'd say I ain't found Spaceballs and they would both crack up laughing or the planet of the apes part.

[@BigGator5]

"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: 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. 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.

[@Caseytify]

I forgot about the last one!

[@AB-cj3mp]

I thought the dolls scene was Moranis's idea?

[@StevesFunhouse]

Just in case you missed it, that joke about "the Ford Galaxy" ... that used to be the name of an actual model of car, made by Ford Motor Company (1959-1974). So, even though that model car wasn't made anymore by the time of this movie, they were still around and of course, it fit perfectly into the zany dialog that makes up this movie.

[@0okamino]

They got two jokes for the price of one there.

[@matthewmarcinko9157]

Hi there, Ms. Aria! It's good to see you again! This film is like "Airplane!" for Star Wars fans! It was fun watching this along with you! 🙂

[@thomasmcintosh390]

The Millennium Falcon being parked in the diner parking lot is my all time favorite movie Easter Egg!

[@chrismaverick9828]

Pizza the Hut was voiced by Dom DeLuise, who is also Don Giovanni in Brooks' Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and in a few other Brooks movies.

[@anthonyvasquezactor]

"And I see your Schwartz is as BIG as mine!... Now let's see how well you 'handle' it." 😂🤣 And I agree, "Empire of Dreams" is one of my favorite documentaries.

[@admiralchuck659]

I saw it without having seen any Star Trek (still haven't actually) it really can stand on its own I promise.

[@bjgandalf69]

The "when will then be now" bit is basically a reworking of the "Who's on First?" skit made famous by Bud Abbott and Lou Costello.

[@robertlopez628]

I've seen this movie so many times that I still find stuff I didn't catch before. Like when he said he was born in the Ford Galaxy. I just realized it was a car too. One of my favorite movies. great reaction as always. See u soon

[@MrAdik861]

Oh no, I watched Spaceballs a few times, and many Spaceballs reactions, and only now, JUST NOW, watching YOUR reaction, I catched the "I❤Uranus" joke 😂 I'm such a "genius" 🤣

[@bjgandalf69]

While the voice of Dot Matrix is the legendary comedian Joan Rivers, the actor in the suit is professional mime Lorene Yarnel of Shields and Yarnel. They actually had a variety show in the 1970s like so many other entertainers had like Donny & Marie Osmond, Captain and Tennille, Sonny & Cher and Tony Orlando and Dawn.

[@williamwoods5592]

The very first time that I saw this movie was when I was only 12 years old when my parents and I have rented this movie Spaceballs on VHS. And when I first saw this movie it was so funny and so enjoyable that I was really laughing a lot and I was in tears that I was really laughing so hard. And I really loved this movie a lot and it had me laughing a lot and was so silly and so hilarious too.😅😅😅😅 I could not get enough of this movie that it was so good. I really love all of the characters who was in the movie too. It has been 36 years ago since the movie Spaceballs was first released in theaters.

[@burnout_2017]

Gives us a little post of your friends reaction or critique to star wars if you can......would be cool to see i think. Perhaps in a short if you dont want to do a longer one. Anyway, really enjoyed this reaction and all the others you do. Have fun on vacation and stay safe....✌

[@joerenaud8292]

What I find amazing about those who love George Lucas have never once reacted to his very first film titled, "THX 1138", (1971), starring Robert Duvall, Donald Pleasence and Maggie Mc Combie. One of the first dystopian type movies ever made in recent time and no one wants to react to it? I think this was George's best movie because it reflects what is going on right now and yet no one wants to react to it. Amazing.

[@Caseytify]

No one wants to react to it because it's hard to follow & depressing. I watched it a long time ago, and regretted it. Only those obsessed with "art" movies like it. The one thing I did like is that the term "THX 1138" later became the basis for Lucas' definition of high def. 😏

[@craigmorris4083]

So glad you enjoyed this wonderful movie. :)

[@craigmorris4083]

Oh and it's "work on your putz". Just a little Yiddish humor there. :)

[@bjgandalf69]

The song that the alien chestbuster sings is from an old Looney Tunes cartoon where a character named Michigan J. Frog only sings in front of this one man who thinks he will get rich off the frog's talent.

The whole scene of Helmet playing with the dolls was improvised by Moranis after Mel suggested the idea.

[@marioinarizona4364]

I loved this reaction!

[@quixote6942]

GREAT Reaction! Some people miss a movie reference... When the four heroes are in the Temple, they were Parodying "The Wizard of Oz"! OTHER Mel Brooks Movies you might enjoy are "Blazing Saddles" (a Western), Young Frankenstein and "Dracula, Dead and living it". The Star Trek Parody is "Galaxy Quest"... It's Rumored Patrick Stewart ("Picard" from Star Trek, the Next Generation) didn't want to see it, But Jonathon Frakes ("Ryker") convinced him and he Loved it!

[@Caseytify]

A great of familiarity with Star Trek is not needed to appreciate Galaxy Quest, although it might help. There's even an Aliens reference, as a tip o' the hat to Sigourney. It's really a love letter to fandom of all types.

[@adamclifton29]

Galaxy Quest isn't a parody of Star Trek. It's more of an homage because I doubt they could get the rights to Star Trek and their actors

[@tempsitch5632]

Yeah. Big difference between parody and homage although a lot of fans of Galaxy Quest don’t understand that.

[@dan_hitchman007]

Aria, now you need to see the original "Planet of the Apes" from 1968 with Charlton Heston and Roddy McDowell. Co-written by Rod Serling, the famous creator of "The Twilight Zone." You can skip over the second film and watch "Escape From The Planet of The Apes" next as those match up storywise, more or less. They're classic sci-fi with a message using a story technique called role reversal. Check out the George Lucas directed "American Graffiti." This classic ode to the early 1960's before the loss of America's innocence in the Vietnam War helped launch the film careers of Ron Howard, Richard Dreyfuss, and Harrison Ford. Arguably, it's Lucas' best film.

[@dan_hitchman007]

@@ariachanson01I'm glad you got a kick out of those films. 👍 If you haven't yet, definitely check out at least "Escape From The Planet Of The Apes," again with Roddy McDowell and Kim Hunter reprising their roles as Cornelius and Dr. Zira. It deals with other social issues besides nuclear destruction, including prejudice and women's rights. Ricardo Montalban is also in it. He played the villains in "The Naked Gun" and "Star Trek 2: The Wrath Of Khan." If you liked Roddy McDowell, you will love him in the 80's comedy horror, "Fright Night."

No Luke, they kind of combined Luke and Han.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

As far as _Star Trek_ goes, I would say that most _any_ of the movies are a rewarding viewing experience, with the exception of _Star Trek V: The Final Frontier._ I've gotten the strong impression the average _Star Trek_ fan would prefer _that_ movie had never been made. Otherwise, though, have at it. One or two _Star Trek_ movies and you'll know everything you _really_ need to know about _Trek_ culture.

Hello Aria

[@bjgandalf69]

My only personal problem with George Lucas when it comes to the Star Wars franchise, other than he made the mistake we all see in hindsight of selling the franchise to Disney, is the fact that he felt the need to keep messing with his original trilogy with CGI effects after 1997 and decided these new versions of those films are the definitive versions. I own my own unofficial copy of the Despecialized Blu Ray versions of the first 3 films that are cleaned up versions of the originals that are otherwise unaltered. What Lucas did to them starting in 1997 is a travesty.

It’s great you have such respect to George Lucas. Unfortunately, his legacy is somewhat being tarnished by Kathleen Kennedy who has so far produced very mediocre films that are part of the franchise. I’m not a Star Wars fan myself, but I also feel bad for the fans and universe. Oh well. As always, I love the sudden “What’s up?” in every intro of your videos!😂
