Mel Brooks, and George Lucas are actual friends. George gave Mel his complete blessing to do this parody. The only thing Mel was not allowed to do is sell actual toys, thus the infamous Merchandising scene in the movie. The Ships being see are actual Star Wars ships. George allowed Mel to use the actual models. George loves Space Balls, and laughed when he watched it according to interviews.

The singing and dancing Xenomorph was straight from the Bugs Bunny era cartoon One Froggy Evening (from the 1950s), where a worker finds a frog that sings and dances that exact tune and thinks the frog will make him rich.

That is indeed John Hurt, the original Kane from "Alien" - Hurt was an amazingly gifted and well-trained actor.

My own introduction to him was in a marvelous BBC mini-series on the early Roman Empire, "I, Claudius", where he stole every scene he was in as the insane Caligula.

Mel said in the commentary he set out to make a fantasy love story in space and he created the base story first. He said he always tried to create a good story first, then added the comedy after. and it was esp true with this film. that was also the aspect that Lucas loved. that at its core it was a good fantasy/romance story.

[@gurvmlk]

That's what allows the movie to stand the test of time. If it was nothing but jokes with no solid foundation to support those jokes, then the movie would be fun to watch once or twice, but would then become boring once the jokes have outstayed their welcome. Whereas with a movie like Spaceballs, you can still enjoy watching it even after you've seen it so many times that the jokes no longer land (or the jokes just don't match your sense of humor). Because even without the jokes, you still have a solid sci-fi movie.

I'm a child from 70s and 80s and these movies along with airplane and naked gun movies were full of these jokes, esp airplane. Like the jive talkers? Racist for sure.

[@rollotomasi4045]

I remember Spaceballs was released right in-between the Zucker Bros. and Jim Abrahams' Top Secret and Naked Gun with respect to parody movies. And it came out only a few years after ROTJ so SW mania and the merchandising was still fresh in people's minds. And meta-reference jokes were still fresh. I find the scene where Lonestar wakes up to the Dinks and said "when did we end up in Disneyland?" was kind of prophetic with Disney+ and everything today. I find this movie would hit the sweet spot for pre-adolescent viewers (10 to 12). I remember "Ludicrous Speed", "Major A%%hole", "I see your Schwartz is big as mine", and "I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roomate." were amongst the favorite quotes at lunch and recess back in the day mixed in with other shows and movies of the time. This movie was Mel Brooks' last hurrah in terms of big hits. His peak was The Producers/Blazing Saddles/Young Frankenstein back in the late '60s and early '70s as a comic innovator/director/ writer for movies. He had some other minor hits but Spaceballs definitely was in-grained into the '80s pop culture zeitgeist. Rick Moranis and John Candy were SCTV alum whose careers were on a hot streak and they showed up every year in different hit comedy movies. Michael Winslow was instantly recognizable since the Police Academy series was still going strong (part 4 came out in '87 and was a big hit). Joan Rivers, voice Dot Matrix, was still in the public eye as a talk show host. And all of the jokes were at the expense of the over the top styles and consumerism of the '80s. So overall, Spaceballs is more like an amusing, funny time capsule and not an all-time classic. Kind of like the first Scary Movie but more memorable.

Funny fact Mel Brookes the man who directed and wrote the film joked "If it was up to me the whole film would have been the long ship for two hours," and when asked how he thought up the film he said "I thought what if I made Star Wars more Jewish (He is really Jewish in real life)," lol love Mel Brooks to me he's one of the last great comedic legends.
