Looking forward to Robocop.
If you are into reading and you can find them I recommend the best parody books I ever read in the 80's.
Samurai Cat (aka Miaowara Tomokato) by Mark Rogers.
Each chapter is a bizarre parody of some historical or pop culture event, but the event is always treated as an entirely serious one featuring Japan's greatest warrior Miaowara Tomokato . (yes he's a cat in samurai armor wielding a katana)
In the first book, The Adventures of Samurai Cat, Rogers skewers J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, H. P. Lovecraft's "The Shadow Over Innsmouth", Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian, and Norse mythology.
Some have the Shwartz, and some have the Shlong.
Enjoy what grace gave you, but don't let it lead you wrong.
When the Shwartz come off (be they panties or thong)
... [This line censored] ...
Can i recommend you two movies?
Did you watch already
Abyss, by james cameron
Le grand bleu, french movie by luc besson
You dont need the text over the movie. Reaction videos are allowed by copyright.
Also, it's extremely jarring to look at. I get headaches easily, and it killed me.
Fun fact:
Right after the Ludicrous speed stop, Dark Helmet tells everyone to take a five minute break. If you follow the time stamp of the movie, the next time we see the Spaceballs, it is exactly five minutes later in the movie. So they and the film crew literally took a five minute break. Mel Brooks is a freaking genius.
Holy cow! I never caught that! And I've been watching this movie for years!
That's why the self-destruct has such a weird time too: It's exactly how long the next scenes run until the ship explodes.
yeah literally...ffs
Also the "They've gone to plaid!" joke is making fun of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Specifically making fun of this scene: czcams.com/video/1DNbkKBW0K8/video.html
That's such a Mel Brooks thing to be so accurate about. Often its those little things that really make his movies awesome. The more you find out, the deeper the jokes get.
The scene with Dark Helmet playing with his dolls was completely improvised. Rick Moranis saw the action figures from the merchandising gag and just told them to turn the camera on and that's what happened.
There's a similar scene in Gundam ZZ. Only that Mashymre Cello is praying to Haman Karn instead of dolls.
He also ask if the other guy "heard or seen" anything.
@@srichael2713 What the hell is Gundam ZZ?
@vovindequasahi It's the third season of the original Mobile Suit Gundam series. The title being Double Zeta, but usually written out as ZZ.
@@srichael2713 There are quite a few scenes like that across quite a few different franchises. Gundam ZZ isn't special in that regard.
In the DVD, there was a scene where Col. Saunderz saw Dark Helmet playing with the dolls. Which was cut from the movie, and why he said: "I did not see you playing with your dolls again."
My favorite fact is that when they asked Lucas if this was ok he handed them the keys to ILM and even signed over some unused shots from Star Wars.
Yeah, and his only catch was - he didn't want Spaceballs to sell any merchandise - hence all the merch in the movie
@@rickwoodham4570exactly Op is trying to act like they were no strings attached but there was. Cuz they could have made a lot of money selling Spaceballs merchandise.
@@rickwoodham4570 And he wasn't allowed to make Lone Starr look like Han Solo... So he made him look like Indiana Jones :D
The "we aint found shit" guy combing the desert is Tim Russ, who plays Tuvok in Star Trek Voyager.
The guy who says "nothing yet sir" is Rob Paulsen, who will become Raphael in tmnt and Yakko Warner in Animaniacs
No, Captain, I do not believe we have located any… excrement
I think you mean Lieutenant Commander Tuvok!!!
One thing to remember is that Spaceballs is a product of its time. Its full of pop-culture and film references from the early 80s that are completely missed by younger viewers.
Yeah, like I didn't realize Ford Galaxie was a car until I read or heard something about it.
Like Max Headroom.
if you look in the diner parking lot you will find the Millennium Falcon parked in the lot, Mel asked George Lucas if he could use it for the scene and after reading the script George thought it was a hilarious parody and allowed it to be used
R.I.P to Joan Rivers and John Candy, their legends live on.
Another Fun Fact:
Spaceball-1 transforming into a gigantic maid with a vacuum cleaner was based off of the character Unicron from 1986's "The Transformers: The Movie".
Here's a joke you miss today if you didn't live at that time: The two twins were "famous" for selling Doublemint gum. Basically, they were two twins who always chewed the gum in the commercials. Thus, when Mel Brooks gets both their names wrong in succession, he says, "Chew your gum." It was a reference to Doublemint gum.
16:09 Did you notice the reference to The Wizard of Oz? They even arranged the group of 4 like the party in that film when they met the Wizard: Barf is on the right standing in for the Lion, then is Dot for the Tin Man, then the Princess as Dorothy, and finally Lone Star as the Scarecrow!
I thought I was the only one.
Now you make me think that in the italian version Dot is Dorothy. Coincidence?
Yes the voice of Dot Matrix was Joan Rivers but the physical person in the suit was Lorene Yarnell. She was a dancer and half of the mime team called Shields and Yarnell. They performed on a number of TV variety shows in the 70s and 80s.
Did not know that was Lorene Yarnell inside Dot. 😮
They had their own show called Shields and Yarnell. Always liked it. It didn't last long though .
I *just* discovered their act recently when watching The Muppet Show. They did some truly unique stuff!
Wow, I never knew that! I remember Shields and Yarnell, they had their own variety show for a while.
Fun fact: The black Spaceball who "didn't find sh*t" when combing the desert, was played by Tim Russ aka Mr Tuvok from ST Voyager.
Read through the commens and noticed that no-one mentioned the guy whose radar got jammed, that was Michael Winslow aka The Man Of Ten Thousand Sound Effects, he has been in many movies which include the Police Academy movies (all 7 and voices his character in the cartoon series), did voices in Gremlins 1 & 2, has done numerous live shows and more.
And as far as characters in the movie, he has probably the most random credit given to him during the end. Ending credits might focus on the main cast before the main credits start rolling, which this film does. But among all the main characters, he's thrown in there as well despite just being a random soldier.
Fun fact originally Lord helmet was going to be a giant helmet with the leg sticking out but the either couldn't afford to make that or it was too much of a headache to build so they scrapped it also George Lucas was okay with them making this movie as long as they didn't sell any merchandise which is why they have the merchandise gags in this movie
So Lord Helmet got made into MODOK in _Ant-Man 3_ instead?
George Lucas LOVES this movie. He also had two stipulations, though: The first, mentioned to death, is that they weren't to do any merchandising.
The second is that he didn't want Lone Starr to be dressed up like Han Solo. Which was honored to the letter.
Mel Brook dressed him up like *_Indiana Jones_* instead (stetson fedora, poketed collar shirt, leather jacket...)
Mel Brooks, The Master Troll !
Spaceballs is a timeless classic.
RIP John Candy o7
favorite part of the movie is the quote "It's mega maid sir, She's gone from Suck to Blow"
I watched this as a kid so it hit 'THAT' much harder when I finally caught on to the joke
the deepest cut in this film is how much of the plot is actually based not on scifi, but on 1934 Clark Gable and Claudet Colbert romantic comedy: it happened one night. A film most significant to culture for inspiring Bugs Bunny. "He didn't take the money."
Fun detail I never noticed about the "surrounded by Assholes" scene: the only member of the bridge crew who doesn't identify himself as an Asshole is the guy that replaced Rico, aka the guy who got...incapacitated by Dark Helmet in the first scene.
Mel Brooks' attorney was Alan Schwartz. Yogurt had the power of attorney. 😁
Ba dum TSS
The ship appears. . Get comfortable.
Edit: Dang! She cut most of it. The awkward laughs to "is it ever going to end?" is the best part.
Did she ever recognize the music and the ship as a shark?
Mel Brooks said in commentary he wanted to run just the ship moving across the screen for an hour and a half but the studio said no. Although he may have been joking.
so, fun fact, Mel apparently wanted to make Spaceball One, the super long ship, be so long it took an hour and a half to scroll past it all. That was...thankfully scrapped.
and when everyone stands up to go 'YO!' at the moment Helmet asks how many assholes we got on this ship? Look in the lower left, one guy doesn't stand up. He happens to be sitting exactly where the guy who got schwartzed at the beginning of the movie was sitting. Adding an extra layer to the nepotism joke cause the replacement for the first guy wasn't there due to it.
the radar guy was Michael Winslow, aka the man of ten thousand sound effects.
oh, funny thing with the old nose bit. remember how a lot of movies were cut to format on tv screen ratio? In that format cut version, Vespa's old nose wasn't visible. Whether that was intended or not is uncertain
Mel Brooks just doesn't break the fourth wall. He punches it several times and then pile drives it into the ground and finishes it off with an elbow drop to the face. LOL!
*the People's Elbow.
In what may be the most obscure reference in the film, Prince Valium is a reference to the comic strip character named Prince Valiant, a character with a similar page boy haircut. The action in the comic strip is set in various time periods from the late Roman Empire to the High Middle Ages,
I didn't know that! I love twofer puns (Valium makes you sleepy, and is similar sounds like Valiant)
That's incorrect, but may have been selected because the names are similar. Valium was an otc sleep aid popular at the time. It was sometimes referred to, "Sleeping with Prince Valium." Lydia says this about her mother in Beetlejuice. It's also a set-up for a later pun where Dot tells Vespa, "We all know Valium is a pill..."
One little fun fact about the opening crawl. In the novelization of the movie (yes it does exist), the opening crawl is on the front page of the book and the font shrinks every line and in the end the line "If you can read this you don't need glasses" is in something like 2 point font.
16:34 So, this joke requires a bit of foreknowledge. Brooks had to get permission from George Lukas to make this movie, which he did. In fact, he liked it enough to allow a single second (literally) cameo by the Millennium Falcon (its in the parking lot of the diner they stop at). That said, one of the conditions he had to follow was *no merchandising.* The company that did the merchandising for Star Wars...the *Schwartz* Company wouldn't allow it.
A great movie, lots of fun all the way! Though some things were more funny back in the day and do tend to go over people's heads nowadays, such as the twins, most won't be aware today, they were the Double Mint twins, hence why Mel says "Chew your gum!", also "Chapter Eleven", is reference to Chapter Eleven Bankruptcy!
Lastly someone else mentioned that George Lucas gave Mel some footage, if you think back to the escape pod scene, the pods ejecting was the unused footage from the original Star Wars movie.
17:05 - One minor detail in the "Comb the Desert" scene I never noticed until someone else pointed it out to me is that Dark Helmet will use his megaphone to talk to Colonel Sandurz, who's standing right next to him, and then shout at the faraway people doing the combing.
Good catch on all the big references, as it didn't make the YT cut, not sure if you recognized comedian/actor Michael Winslow of Police Academy fame and the voice of a million sound effects. Another bit of trivia is the Spaceball who yells back to Dark Helmet, "We Aint Found Shit", is Tim Russ, best known for playing Tuvok in Star Trek: Voyager.
I recommend Rick Moranis again in Ghostbusters 1&2.
His most famous movie was Honey I Shrunk the Kids
I recommend Rick moranis in little shop of horrors
I always had the fan theory that Yogurt made the prince story up. LoneStar already said he brought it to every wiseman in the galaxy, so he was free to make anything up. He obviously knew of the marriage predicament. It could have been an old arcade token from the Ford Galaxy (Yes, I got the joke.) Great film. Cheers.
You know it’s a good movie when you have endless “Jim Halpert looks at the camera” moments.
The space winnebago is a perfect analogy for spacecrafts if space travel is ever becomes normalized
You have to catch the little things as well as the broad gags. The Winnebago, as well the bumper sticker, has the license plate "Eagle 5" (a Space 1999 reference). Also, the only two conditions that George Lucas had were (1) no movie merchandise (so Mel Brooks builds that into a continuing joke), and (2) no one could too closely resemble Luke Skywalker or Han Solo, so Lone Star (Bill Pullman) was dressed like Indiana Jones. We can now also get the anachronistic things, like Tim Russ (from Voyager a few years afterwards) being the guy "not finding s---" when combing the desert.
I love how when Lone Star jammed the radar, he gave them the raspberry.
This was 21 years before daphne was in Melrose Place. From 2008 to 2009 she reprised her role in Spaceballs the animated series.
"They've gone to plaid!" has been an enduring quote in my life anytime something goes really fast.
So I wonder. I haven't really watched to many Elon Musk interviews. But it seems as though Spaceballs was part of Tesla's idea pool. Tesla has a high-end submodel called plaid and it has a launch mode that makes the dash look like the plaid ludicrous speed from the movie. Definitely not just a coincidence.
@@superguest3 The man has no original ideas. Even selling flamethrowers is from Spaceballs.
My friends and I often use "We finally meet for the first time for the last time" a lot.
I am surrounded by assholes is my favorite gag and I use it all the time in real life. I also am I in love with the fourth wall break particular when they’re watching Spaceballs hahaha 😂😂😂😂 gets me every time
5:55
As someone who has seen most reactions to this film, you are the one in five that figure this out.
Congrats! Everyone else usually just has a vacant look on their faces.
Ughh... Prince Valium is pills! :/
@@TarossBlackburnValium make you sleepy. Prince Valium is always yawning because he's always sleepy.
but another commenter mentioned Prince Valium also being a reference to Prince Valiant from a comic of some kind because they have the same type of haircut or something.
@@xXCursedWorgenXxBoth haircut and clothes. It was a weekly Sunday strip that started in 1937 and is widely syndicated, I remember it as a kid (although It was never one I read)... looking it up to see when it ended... it turned out it hasn't.... it's still being written and syndicated in over 300 papers.
Fun fact about the Merchandising scene: George Lucas allowed Mel Brooks to make a _Star Wars_ parody on the condition that Brooks didn’t sell any merchandise of the film. So Brooks did the only thing he could: he put all the merch _in_ the movie!
It's ALWAYS worth watching anything Mel Brooks at least twice. _No one_ gets all the jokes the first time.
This is my favourite movie of all time. I have seen this movie over 70 times, probably over hundred but I stopped counting at 70 😂
This is definitely one of the best Mel Brooks parody movies. It’s so funny, it’s iconic. 😅
Fun fact: the same people who did the special effects for Star Wars, Industrial Light and Magic (ILM), also did this movie. George Lucas loved the script so much that he actually endorsed it, under the agreement that they wouldn't merchandize off of it. Hence the Merchandizing gag
"I'm happy the bear made it."
LOL! You're the best. :)
1:57 "As you guys know, this film is VERY OLD."
Me, who was born in 1987: *crumbles to dust
My favorite line, which is also true, is "F*ck, even in the future nothing works!"
The ONLY F-bomb of the movie
It's Mega-Maid, sir! She's gone from suck to blow! 🤣
John Candy played Barf. The scene when he is in the Winnebago seat and quickly jumps up, yelps, and says "That's gonna leave a mark", He actually forgot he was wearing the seatbelt and bruised his groin.
All of Mel's previous movies can be seen in Mr. Rental. More reactions would be fun. Also, there is a CZcams video. Spaceballs Documentary.
I just realized that whole thing can mean two things:
1) "I am your cousin's former roommate."
OR
2) "I am your former roommate."
"Somewhere in the Ford Galaxy."
Well, there's a joke I only just got now, after 40 years of watching this movie.
When a parody movie made in the pre-prequel era has better saber choreography than the actual sequel trilogy.
Or _Ahsoka_ apparently.
Actually having watched others reacting to this movie, even the delayed reaction is not what I expected. Most I've seen don't totally don't know what "Valium" is. In fact, one actually thought the reference went the other way. They heard mention of "Sleeping with Prince Valium" in Beetlejuice and thought it was a Spaceballs reference!
Also, though I think they have just one standard speed now, early model Tesla had two engine upgrade options, Ridiculous Speed and Ludicrous Speed.
It's said that part of the deal with Lucas to make this movie was that they weren't allowed to do any merchandising for Spaceballs, so they didn't. At least, not any REAL merchandising. That, and making fun of how merchandising was a huge part of Star Wars appeal over the years.
I thought Valium was a kind of medication that made you sleepy?
@@MattTOB618 Yes, that's right. It was VERY popular with women, so people started saying she's Sleeping with Prince Valium." So the two jokes in Spaceballs and Beetlejuice have nothing to do with each other as some reactors think, they just come from the joke about the same medication.
As was noted, Lucas gave his blessing and assistance to making Spaceballs, though one condition was that Lone Starr not look like Luke Skywalker or Han Solo. That’s why he looks like Indiana Jones!
As a Star Wars fan, you'd probably enjoy Fan Boys. It's about a group of friends attempting to break into Skywalker Ranch to see Episode I before it hits theaters. It's by no means an instant classic, but it's a fun movie with a lot of love for the original trilogy.
OMG, a pop-up ad was for Pizza Hut!
He's delicious!!!
I got one, too. 😂
So! Things I've heard.
The gag where the door falls on Moranis wasn't scripted, but was accidental and they either did it again in later shots, or Moranis went with it and they kept that shot.
The bit where Moranis was playing with the dolls was unscripted, all of that was improve from Moranis.
The Millennium Falcon shows up in the establishing shot for the diner near the end of the movie.
The guy who has the alien burst out of his chest is the _same actor_ who had it happen in the original Alien movie, hence the line 'not again'.
The song done by the alien after that is the same as done by Michel J Frog in various episodes of the Looney Tunes cartoons.
'Giving a raspberry' is a sort of disrespectful tongue gesture. Dark Helmet notes that there's only one man who would give him the raspberry.
Chapter 11 is where the bankruptcy rules are located, this movie is stated as being Chapter 11.
Schwartz was the name of Brooks' lawyer who helped iron out the deal that allowed Brooks to make this movie. Never underestimate the power of the Schwartz.
Movies that this film takes from: Star Wars, the Wizard of Oz (the entry to first seeing Yogurt), Planet of the Apes, Star Trek (in one line, specifically number 4), Alien, Raiders of the Lost Ark (see below).
Lucas told Brooks he couldn't dress up anyone like Han Solo (trademark reasons), so he dressed up the hero like Indiana Jones instead.
Brooks was forbidden from doing any _actual_ merchandizing for the movie as that would violate contracts Lucas had (which gave him sole control of the Star Wars merchandising). Hence why all the merchandising jokes starting after the scene with Yogurt.
After the crash upon leaving Ludicrous Speed, Dark Helmet says everyone should take a five minute break. He is, from that moment, off screen pretty close to exactly five minutes.
The "we ain't found sh-t" guy on the desert planet would later go on to play Tuvoc on Star Trek Voyager. He _also_ played a Vulcan terrorist on an episode of The Next Generation before that.
Colonel Sandurz is a play on Colonel Sanders, responsible for Kentucky Fried Chicken, and hence the joke "What's the matter, Colonel Sandurz, chicken?"
Rico is the short form of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. It's also the name of the Spaceball that first talks to Colonel Sandurz.
Pizza the Hutt's costume was so hot it burned the actor (lightly) inside it. That stuff was actually hot. Many people have proclaimed it to be vastly more disgusting than Jabba. I'm not sure how Pizza Hut took this.
Joan Rivers was the voice of Dot Matrix, but not the person in the suit, much like James Earl Jones was the voice of Darth Vader, but not the person in the suit.
Dot Matrix is the name of a type of old-fashioned printer.
In the book version of the movie (which came out later), the whole threat with the nose bit didn't work. As someone in the novel said, no one would pick a nose over a planet... er....
Great reaction!
Have a nice day!
as a point of order _Hello ma baby_ was written by Howard and Emerson in 1899. It's about a man who has a girlfriend he's only ever talked to over the (then still newly invented) telephone.
@@ahettinger525
Apologies. I meant to say the 'song and dance'. Not just the song. I realize the song predates Michael J Frog, though I didn't know its origin (so thanks for that! I love learning new stuff!).
@@robindude8187 No worries. _One Froggy Evening (1955)_ is definitely where almost everyone knows the song from these days (although parody references might be becoming more common these days). And was certainly what Mel Brooks was parodying here. I just wanted to give a little more historical context.
Michigan J Frog
There were two stipulations George Lucas had for giving Mel Brooks his approval for the movie.
1 Lone Star couldn’t dress like Han Solo and 2 they couldn’t sell Spaceballs merchandise.
Both became jokes in the movie. The obvious one behind the merchandising scene, the more subtle being Lone Star is wearing Indiana Jones outfit the whole movie.
Leslie Nelson and Mel Brooks' Dracula: Dead and Loving It.
Or maybe with Halloween coming up you can do Spanish Dracula, it was filmed alongside and uses the same sets as the Bella Lugosi classic.
The Star Wars special effects studio helped make this movie on condition that they make no merchandise from this movie so Mel Brooks decided to make the merchandising gag.
Such a wonderfully delightful reaction to Spaceballs! Since it is one of your favorite comedies, Please do share a reaction to Blazing Saddles!
And may the Schwartz be with you.
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.
"Where the real money from the movie is made..." is a joke about George's fortune off the back of the merchandising rights to Star Wars, which he got in lieu of payment for directing.
No, they aren't actual Star Wars ships, but the effects were done by the same effects company (ILM).
@@Rocket1377 The Falcon is. It's parked at the diner.
Don't forget the Lucas condition that he couldn't parody Han Solo...So he costumed Bill Pullman as Indiana Jones.
@@flarrfan Malicious compliance is a Brooks trademark. He's like a comedic genie 🤣🤣🤣
So Mel predicted Disney would own Star Wars when Lonestar saw the Jawas.
I'm still waiting for Spaceballs 3, The Search For Spaceballs 2.
You gotta do Tucker and Dale vs Evil.
It's so funny. Great acting too. You'll love it. I don't want to spoil anything by describing it but yeah, you'll dig it for sure.
Oh that movie is perfection👌
Oddly mel brooks predicted the disney acquisition of star wars.
super important and obscure pizza the hut trivia time! that thing is covered in real pizza! they went down and ordered shitloads of pizza to cover the suit in for a realistic pizza look! this is why it is actually edible.
to keep the cheese drippy and liquid, the suit is run through with a shitload of red hot metal wires! it was a nightmare deathtrap and the first guy who shot in it basically almost fucking died, so he bailed and someone else finished shooting.
as always, the best effects are always just doing it for real! real pizza, baby, yeah!
Great movie. There was a parody on Alien was in the end with the diner scene. They even brought the same actor John Heard Rip for that scene. Other great Mel Brooks spoof movies are : Robin Hood Men in tights and High Anxiety which is a spoof on classic Alfred Hitchcock movies like Psycho or The Birds which you obviously have to see before seeing it. Another great spoof movie you should see is Top Secret .
*John Hurt
Don't forget Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Silent Movie... he's done quite a number of spoofs.
To this day, I still think that John Hurt cameo is the best cameo in history.
YOU are a RARE commodity! A female that likes comedy!
Where were you when my friends and I were teens in the '80s??!!
GREAT REACTION!
from west coast Canada 🇨🇦, peace.
Thank you for getting that the groom was so tired because his name is Valium (he's a pill!).
the fact you got the references made this reaction even better.
I absolutely LOVE this movei! It makes me sad that something like this couldnt be made in this day and age... sadly it would get "canceled" before it was even finished or they would turn it into some of the crap stuff that they have been giving us.... 😕
Assuming you have Robin Hood: Men in Tights, that pew-pew sounds of laser you hear in intro... they did something similar in Robin Hood only they used fire arrows.
I love how Rick Morianis effortlessly starts to make Helmet speak in a fake jamaican accent that builds. :D
I remember watching the alien scene as a kid, and I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe.
7:57 The best part is that one guy who's still sitting and looking around in confusion.
When Lonestar says the monastery was somewhere in the Ford Galaxy... Ford made a car called the Galaxy. XD
Also, the merchandising gag comes from the fact that George Lucas agreed to let Mel Brooks make this parody so long as he agreed to not merchandise it. He was concerned kids might mistake the toys from one as from the other. Honestly, though, I would have loved to play with both.
And the "Wilhelm Scream" is always a treat.
This movie is great. The best Star Wars parody is "Hardware Wars" Came out 2 years after the original Star Wars. A must see,
@9:33 That actor is Tim Russ. He played Tuvok in Star Trek later on in his career.
@17:13, he is also saying, "We ain't found sh*t." ;-)
This movie has a banger theme song.
The Black actor in the desert on the Pic is same actor who played Tuvok on Star Trek Voyager. He's still proud of the roll today
Dr Schlotkin (in the nose job scene) is played by Sandy Helbergn one of the founding members of the LA Groundlings comedy troupe his son, Simon plays Howard Wolowitz on the Big Bang theory.
Just a suggestion,...
If you've already seen BSaddles, maybe watch it with a close friend or family member who hasn't and is known to be very expressional when watching something provocative as Blazzing Saddles is in our current overly sensitive times. Then we get to watch two reactions...yours watching them, and of course, their reaction.
But make sure they have an adult sense of humor and won't get up and walk out LOL.
Saw BS when it came out in 1974, I was 13 and with my best frnd and my parents in a 1k seat packed theater.....was an awesome fun time.
I actually watched it with Mel Brooks' commentary… i have it on DVD, but in the commentary, Mel Brooks said that the commentary is available on the Laserdisc version 😂😂 he also said that he wanted the whole movie to be that opening ship 😂😂2 hours of a ship going across the screen!! But the executive's said that they needed a plot!! 😂😂
"When is the proper time?"
At the end of the movie, which Yogurt should've said.
When theyre combing the desert, the guy that says "We aint found shit" is Tim Russ. He was Lt Tuvok from Star Trek Voyager
Nobody ever picks up on the Wizard of Oz reference when they walk into the room with the Yoghurt statue... :D
We got the Scarecrow (Lone Starr), Dorothy (Vespa), the Tin Woodsman (Dot) and the Cowardly Lion (Barf) :D
Combing the desert was my favorite gag
I had a friend count how many other films are referenced in Spaceballs and he counted over 70.
never seen someone laugh as hard as you at this movie, thought I was the only that liked it that much, lol 😜😃
Clariss, did you notice the shape of Dark Helmet's tie?? 😉😂
I don't know if anyone below said this but the gag on the Merchandising is that Mel Brooks got the go ahead to make this from George Lucas as long as he didn't have any merchandising related to the movie.
When you said this movie is very old that cut deep 😂
And the Nurse actress is the Captain on the main starship in STARSHIP TROOPERS....
you noticed the bumper sticker?
Reads " WE BREAK FOR NOBODY"
"Honey, I Shrunk The Kids" and "Little Shop Of Horrors!"
watched this as a kid. this thing is still hilarious.
The watching radar scene was a joke about watching M.A.S.H. where one of the characters was nicknamed Radar.
