The Alien scene, the reason the man says “not again” is because the actor is John Hurt, he played the character Caine in the film Alien, that has the alien burst out of his chest!
John Hurt hold the record for most on screen deaths.
When the Xenomorph dances, it is a reference to the Looney Tune Frog, Michigan J Frog.
@@biguy617 Great really old song.
Hit from 1890's.
@@regould221 I think Samuel Jackson probably has John Hurt beat for on screen deaths.
@@larrybremer4930 Sean Bean enters the chat...
“You’ve captured their stunt doubles” is one of my favorite jokes in any movie 😂
Have you watched "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka"?
"What's wrong Colonel Sanders, chicken?" Can't believe that scene went over my head all these years! lol
The guy who says, "We ain't found shit", Is Tim Russ. He would go on to play Lieutenant Tuvok, on Star Trek: Voyager, from 1995-2001.
Oh man, I need to re-watch Voyager!!
That's probably my favorite bit from this movie - Helmet is shouting at the men combing the desert, but uses the megaphone to talk to Sandurz right next to him
I just saw his tiktok video, in which he listed his credits and ended the video saying the only thing his known is "we ain't found shit". 😅
@@callmeshaggy5166I never noticed that
He's also Principal Franklin from iCarly.
"I am your father's, brother's, nephew's, cousin's, former roommate."
So what does that make us?
Absolutely nothing!!
So you're your own cousin's former roommate.
@@DrJohnnyFever.Makes the most sense if he's talking about Lone Star's uncle's nephew on his wife's side. His cousin would have no blood relations to Lone Star.
Your father's brother's nephew's cousin could be you, but you would probably remember having that guy for a roommate.
When “Rogue One” came out and there was a planet shield that needed a combination, guess what came to mind?
And I fully expected Snoke’s ship in Last Jedi to transform into Megamaid.
Valium is a prescribed medication that relaxes you and makes you sleepy. That is why Prince Valium is yawning/sleeping.
It's one of my favourite jokes in the movie
I can't help but think of Beetlejuice at the mention of Prince Valium
The "Prince Valium" is one of the nicknames for Valium in the late 60s, along with "Mother's Little Helper".
I've heard my own mother using both nicknames when I was a little kid
Prince VALIENT was a comic book character. So to make fun of him they called him prince valium
Mothers little helper
Valium is played by Jim J Bullock.
The subtle jokes are just as good as the obvious ones. When Dark Helmet slams into the wall after stopping from Ludicrous speed and says to take a 5 minute break, it's actually 5 minutes of runtime before he's onscreen again.
The merchandising scene was in the film as Lucas gave Brooks the ability to make the film and use his effects studio as long as there was no merchandising.
He also wasn't allowed to have Lonestar look like Han Solo, so Brooks made him look like Indiana Jones instead.
The actor in the diner with the chest buster is the actor that had this in Alien, hence the "not again" line.
Love this film and watching people discover it ❤
Lucas also said Brooks couldn’t dress Lone Star as Han Solo - so Mel dressed him as Indiana Jones instead. 😂
George Lucas also handed some B-Roll from 'A New Hope' to Brooks for usage. The escape pod launch at the end is unused footage from the droids' escape in the beginning of Episode 4.
And Vespa is a brand of scooter.
Jamming the radar with "raspberry" jam. Not too many people get that anymore so it seems.
One of my all time favourite movies!
Rick Moranis ended up costing Mel Brooks "a lot" of money, since the crew (including Brooks) couldn't help but laugh during his scenes, most notably when he first appears on screen and has breathing problems.
George Lucas lended the services of his company ILM to shoot some scenes. The escape pod dropping out was actually a (once) deleted scene from A New Hope. He agreed to let Brooks make the movie on the condition that he couldn't make merchandise, hence the running gag throughout the movie. And he didn't want Lone Star to dress like Han, so Brooks chose to dress him like Indiana Jones.
Rick Moranis improvised the entire scene where he plays with his dolls, he was sick and had a fever that day and still came up with one of the best scenes.
The original title was Planet Moron.
Brooks had a bad reaction to the Yogurt make up and got a bad rash around his eyes.
The voice Dark Helmet has when his... dark helmet visor is down is inspired by David Prose, the physical actor for Darth Vader in the original trilogy, and how he sounded with the mask on set. You can find footage of it.
I appreciate your rundown of the fun facts. I didn’t think I’d see this many in one comment.
The radar tech who did the sound effects is Michael Winslow. He appeared in the Police Academy franchise and some other stuff before taking a break to raise his children after his wife died. A year or two ago, he competed on America's Got Talent. Michael actually saved some production money on this movie by doing his own sound effects.
Honestly, you couldn't have a Micheal Winslow scene without him doing his own effects!
Funny, she doesn't look druish 😂😂😂 great, that's all we need, a druish princess 😂😂😂
The baby Alien singing is an homage to a very classic Warner Brothers cartoon, where a man down on his luck finds a magical frog that does that song and dance. However, every time he tries to show the magical frog to someone, the frog doesn't do the act. So everyone thinks the man is crazy. (Sigh) when cartoons weren't afraid to be dark in subtle ways.
Michigan J. Frog.
@@chrismaverick9828 Fun fact: The frog never had a name until Warner Brothers decided to make him the mascot for the WB Network. :)
@@BruGaleenChuck Jones named him Enrico during the 60s then got the name Michigan J Frog for the Bugs Bunny Show in the 70s.
Michigan J. Frog was great.
@@evillordbeerus2455 they killed him off cause he was tied to the blackface era. 🙄
"You idiots! You've captured their stunt doubles!"
My favorite joke of the movie.
Stephen Tobolowsky crushes his one scene. He's so pompous until the reveal and his gasp of shock is perfect 🤣🤣🤣
Speaking of Stephen Tobolowsky, I also suggest Bird on a Wire (1990), with Mel Gibson & Goldie Hawn, and the Disney Channel Original Movie, Don't Look Under The Bed (1999), for Halloween. #MoreStephenTobolowskyForAddieCounts
"Delightfully stupid" is a great description!
"When did we get to Disneyland?" Ironic foreshadowing right there.
That's not irony.
@@BubbaCoop That's become a 'death' sentence for SW.
"Evil will always triumph because good is dumb!"
I love that line.
Applies true to life
My favourite Mel Brooks film. John Candy as Barf and Joan Rivers as Dot Matrix are priceless. Rest in Peace legends. Best spoof movie ever.
History of the World Part One is vital. High Anxiety after you've fallen down an Alfred Hitchcock rabbit hole.
It is essential to the enjoyment of High Anxiety for you to have at least a working knowledge of Hitchcock. Vertigo, primarily, but The Birds, North by Northwest, and Gaslight. I'm sure I'm forgetting one or two.
I'm convinced that his singing is a "The Man Who Knew to Much" reference. Doris Day sang in that film. Essential Viewing!
High Anxiety is my favorite Mel Brooks film! Some knowledge of Hitchcock films makes it better!
And when you think about it, this film kind of fulfills the sequel promise at the end of History of the World: part One, Jews in Space!
High Anxiety was my first Mel Brooks movie, going back to when I was a little kid in the late 70s, and even though I didn't know any Hitchcock movies at the time, I still loved it.
Easter egg for you Addie, don't know if you noticed or not but when our boys stop at the cafe near the end of the film, you'll notice the Millennium Falcon parked out front......🤣🤣🤣
Soo... not far, far away then?
@@bodan1196 not so much lol
A fun fact...when Rick Moranis says 'why don't we take a five minute break', it's exactly 5 minutes in the film before we see the spaceballs again. In case you didn't realize, or know, the late Sir John Hurt was the guy who had the alien come out of him. He was the original actor from Alien as well. Some great little bit's a pieces about this film which makes it funnier when you know. Mel Brooks had to get permission from George Lucas who only agreed on the grounds that they sold no merchandise and that Lone Starr couldn't dress as Han Solo. So brooks filled the movie with fake merch and dressed Lone Starr like Indiana Jones instead.
There's polystyrene cups everywhere cause cast and crew kept leaving them all over the set, so Brooks just wrote them into the film. And one of my favorite joke of the movie is the stunt double one. There are a lot of 4th wall breaking jokes in the movie (the spaceball cassette, the cameraman getting slashed by Darth Helmet, Yoghurt doing merchandising stuff because "it's where real money from the movie is made" but the stunt double one really made me lose it completely as it was completely unexpected. It was so well done!
What's that coming out of its nose?! Spaceballs! Oh shit, there goes the planet!!
The whole sequence of finding Yogurt's statue is a parody of the "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" sequence in the Wizard of Oz.
A couple of other classic movie references in the film - - when they land in the desert, the music switches to a theme very close to the *Lawrence of Arabia* soundtrack music. When they enter Yogurt's cave and are walking down the hall, it's a callback to *The Wizard of Oz* when Dorothy and her companions are going to confront the Wizard. The actor from whose chest the Alien burst out of was John Hurt, who played the astronaut in the original *Alien* film, which is why he said "Not again!" before expiring.
You went over my hel-mittttttt??!
15:32 So, I admittedly have never fact checked this, but supposedly this joke originated when Mel Brooks asked George Lucas for his blessing to make this parody, and Lucas (who was a fan of Mel Brooks) replied with “No toys.”
Another stipulation of his blessing was that Lonestar shouldn't look too much like Han Solo. So Brooks made him look like Indiana Jones instead.
The stunt doubles scene in the prison was a very obvious reverence to the 80s series "The A-team", featuring George Peppard as Hannibal Smith. 😆
It reminded me of the movie "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka".
If you think Michael Winslow (the radar guy) is good at making noises, you should check him out in the Police Academy series.
His standup is fantastic, especially his guitar solo.
@@chrismaverick9828 speaking of which, he also participated in America's Got Talent a few years back.
Rick Moranis playing with the dolls is one of my favorite scenes in any comedy. It's just perfect.
"Now you see that evil will always triumph, because good is dumb!"
My favorite quote of all time.
SPACEBALLS THE FLAMETHROWERRRR!!! The kids love this one.
John Hurt had no idea he was going to recreate his chest buster scene from Alien when Mel asked him to do a cameo but enjoyed going along with it. The song the Alien sings is actually from an old Looney Tunes cartoon where Michigan K. Frog sings and dances that number. The gag in the cartoon is the frog only performs for one man who thinks he can get rich with the frog but gets derided because the frog never performs in front of others.
The little alien running over the table is also what I consider the only bad effects shot in Alien. It does look very goofy.
And I always have to think about Spaceballs when I see it again.
Now, watch Rick Moranis again in Ghostbusters. It's a fun series.
Yes!
Yes, please. Even though it was only her SECOND movie that she watched for her channel, she ultimately took it down after being dissatisfied with the editing style and lost the original files to the full-length reaction to that movie. I do hope she comes around to do a rewatch reaction to Ghostbusters (1984) in October. #GhostbustersRewatchReactionForAddieCounts
@@alextan1478 there's another reaction she took down: Top Gun Maverick
That reaction got blocked.
@@alextan1478 Yes, I aware.
I absolutely LOVE this movie. I remember whenever it was on FX I would stay up to watch it, many many years ago. Still a childhood favourite of mine. I think my favourite line is definitely:
"No sir! I didn't see you playing with your dolls again!"
"Good!" ("Oh crap" face follows).
20:16 "You're under arrest for illegal parking!" - also a major plot point in Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi
The actress who plays the nurse was also in Starship Troopers. She played the Captain who gets killed by the door of the transport ship Rodger Young.
...and the "Valium is a pill" joke never gets old.
RIP Bryan O'Byrne, Dick Van Patten, Dom DeLuise, Felix Silla,
Jack Riley, John Candy, John Dixon Paragon, John Hurt, Joan Rivers, Rick Ducommun, Phil Hartman, Richard Karron, and Ronny Graham. I was three years old when this movie came out in 1987.
Spaceballs: The CZcams Comment to Spaceballs: The Addie Counts Reaction. May the Schwartz be with you, Addie. Spaceballs (1987) is the very first Mel Brooks movie that I ever watched and I really enjoyed it. I totally agree with you here on how delightfully stupid this one is because there are so many funny moments for me like "We Brake For Nobody", "Radar about to be jammed", "Ludicrous Speed", Dot Matrix's Virgin Alarm, and my personal favorites, Merchandising (where the REAL money from the movie is made) & combing the desert. Here's a mind-blowing fun fact: the actor who plays one of the Spaceballs who combs the desert with a giant Afro pick and says "We ain't found s**t!" is the same actor who played Principal Franklin on iCarly, Tim Russ. BTW, I loved how you turned the tables on the "If you can read this, you don't need glasses." joke, because you were wearing contacts. And I even got a good laugh out of Pizza the Hutt. I can still eat pizza while watching that scene. Also, if you were to watch the 4:3 Full Screen version of the movie, then the scene where they fast forward to the part where everything that's happening is happening now will align well with the TV that's playing the exact same scene in the movie. See you on Halloween for Young Frankenstein (1974). #SpaceballsTheHashtag
2:59, "Did I get tricked into watching this movie and it's just actually a ridiculously long shot of a ship for an hour and a half?"
LOL, the ridiculously long shot of the ship is only a MINUTE and a half.
😄👍 In case you forgot, King Roland was played by Dick Van Patten, who also played The Abbott in "Robin Hood, Men In Tights." He's also in "High Anxiety." 😜
George Lucas made Mel Brooks sign contract that he would never make any merchandise about Spaceballs the movie.
That's how George made millions on Star Wars,
Then he had George's blessing to make the spoof.
Would their circus really have been a circus without a bear?
I would have found it unbearable
One of my favorite trivia tidbits about this movie involves Dot. Most people quickly identify Joan Rivers as the voice of Dot. I had to look up who was actually wearing the costume during filming. The answer brought a smile to this tired Gen X face.
Lorene Yarnell - I’ll let that name sink in for a moment.
If you’re a a child of the seventies like me then that name is just so perfect for Dot and I can’t help but be warmed by the nostalgia.
Everyone misses the huge Wizard of Oz reference.
18:11 there was rumor they were making a sequel not too long ago called “Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2”.
The scene with the apes was actually a callback to the very first Planet of the Apes movie, which ended with the hero discovering a portion of the Statue of Liberty.
A great scene with Charlton Heston
LUDICROUS SPEED, GO!!!
Yogurt's store full of merchandise was pretty spot on. I was 5 when Star Wars came out in '77 and I still remember there was Star Wars merchandise everywhere back then, and I mean EVERYWHERE!!! Toothbrushes, bedspreads, action figures, jigsaw puzzles, t-shirts, Dixie Cups, paint by numbers, comic books, etc.... I even had a 45 record (the artist name was Meco) of the Star Wars Cantina Band doing disco!
Long time ago there was a rumour that there would be a sequel, called space balls 3 the search for space balls 2. Plus fun fact, the trooper "combing" the desert and yelled "we ain't found s$#t!, later played a character named tuvok on star trek voyager.
Tim Russ
I tapped so fast when I got this notif, I literally just watched this movie the other day. Excellent timing lol
it's cute how you always know you are about to sneeze before you do! It's always random when I do
2:48 - This opening shot is about a minute and 40 seconds! 😳 That's a big ship!
I think Mel Brooks actually joked about wanting to make the entire movie just be that shot.
Best Mel Brooks Movie is "History of the World: Part 1. Hysterical from beginning to end. Only Mel Brooks can turn The Spanish Inquisition into a musical number.
As is mentioned in every reaction to this movie, the "We ain't found shit!" guy is Tim Russ, who played the Vulcan Tuvok on Star Trek: Voyager. However, even after all these years, I just connected the fact that there was also a Vulcan neck pinch in the movie.
"Spaceballs" and "Airplane!" are the only 2 spoof movies I like. And I love them both.
You ought to try “High anxiety” also by Mel Brooks
It’s an homage to Alfred Hitchcock.
Watch Star Wreck.
Walk Hard
There are actors who appear in multiple Mel Brooks Movies (besides Mel himself). For example, Dick Van Patten, who played King Roland in this movie, also played the Abbot in Men in Tights. Also, Dom DeLuise, who voiced Pizza the Hutt, also appeared as Don Giovanni in Men in Tights. Dom also appeared in Blazing Saddles, Silent Movie, and History of the World, Part I.
If you haven't watched it yet, I'd highly recommend watching Young Frankenstein, another Mel Brooks movie, starring Gene Wilder. Gene and Mel wrote the screenplay while working on Blazing Saddles.
When is this happening?
NOW!
When will then be now?
Soon!
We just missed it
The long ship shot is a play on both the long ship glamour shots in Alien and the original Star Trek movie.
Try A New Hope
The funniest thing about the opening scene surg the long ship, is the orchestra... they keep playing, but at one point it sounds like they don't know what to play lol...😂
ILM outdid themselves on the model. I need to look harder to find some exact figures, but it would not surprise me to find it was their largest spaceship model ever constructed.
That model was 17’ long.
The "Chapter XI" gag is because the first Star Wars starts with "Episode IV"
Plus, Chapter 11 is a legal term for a form of bankruptcy. Mel Brooks may have been having financial troubles!
The first Star Wars edition didn't mention any episodes. That came later.
@@Caseytify only 4 years later when it was re-released in theaters...
Also, Chapter 11 is a bankruptcy filing, under which reorganization of assets and debts is permitted.
Trust Brooks to spoof from the very start. Bankruptcy joke to begin.
The sequel to this was going to be called Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2, but it never got greenlit for production :P
Instead there was a shitty animated series 20 years after the fact.
Also the nurse of the plastic surgeon is the same actress who played the main big ship captain in STARSHIP TROOPERS
When President Scroob says "Sanders, You gotta help me I can't make decisions, I'm a President!" It always makes me bust up laughing. Also the "Great I knew it I'm surrounded by assholes." Is always hilarious, so glad you finally watched this!
I just realized that Lone Star's origin of being left on a doorstep works better than Anakin's "virgin birth" from Episode 1.
One of my favourite subtle jokes in this movie is when Col Sanders asks Dark Helmet if they are taking the “combing of the desert” too literally.
Dark Helmet uses the megaphone to talk to Sanders who is standing right beside him, but yells at the Spaceballs on the sand without the megaphone. I howl every single time I watch that scene.
2nd favourite, not so subtle line is “Out of order?! Fuck!” 😆
After I watched this for the first time - back in my teenage years - you could always get me absolutely paralyzed with histerical laughter by quoting the line "Comb the desert!"
In the French dub, ludicrous speed is called "vitesse grotesque" and I think I like that more.
Merci
The hilarious part about Dark Helmet and Lone Starr meeting is that, depending on the number of cousins Lone Starr has, they have actually _been_ former roommates.
Star Wars was huge, and helped get a lot of sci-fi movies made in its wake. Mel Brooks was riding the back-to-back-to-back success of Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and the Elephant Man (which he produced without credit because he didn't want people to think it was a comedy, which it very much wasn't) when he was pondering what he should parody next. Afer a conversation with George Lucas, he asked if he could spoof Star Wars, Return of the Jedi having been released a couple years ago. Reportedly, Lucas said he would be fine with it, as long as there was no merchandise from the movie, which is where the Spaceballs merchandise jokes in the movie came from.
Mel Brooks joked on the DVD commentary track of Spaceballs that if he thought he could have gotten away with it, he would have loved to have made the joke about how long the Spaceball-1 is extend through the whole 90 minute runtime.
After President Skroob orders the crew of Spaceball 1 to "comb the desert," and they literally begin doing that, one of the pairs combing the desert is using a hair pick, a small comb-like hair accessory that was associated with the African American community at the time. The African American who declares "We ain't found shit!" was a young Tim Russ, who would later appear in the Star Trek franchise.
As a favor to a producer on The Elephant Man, John Hurt, who had played the titular Elephant Man, John Merrick, reprized his role as Kane from Alien in the space diner scene. When the alien bursts out of his chest here, he says "Oh no. Not again!" in reference to his character's fate in Alien.
My favorite joke in the movie, of which there are many, is the extended "Watching Spaceballs: The Motion Picture" sequence. It's just so surreal.
My second favorite joke is "Because good is dumb!"
Mel Brooks's with the Gene Wilder mustache from Young Frankenstein
yessss!
seen it a million times, and i never get bored!
this movie is one of the few I bought on VHS, that collection only grew to about 2 dozen.
There's a special place in my heart reserved for this movie.
The "Alien" scene features the same actor that played in the "Alien" film where the xenomorph burst out of his chest there too. That's why he says "not again!" Getting the actual actor, John Hurt, to spoof his own iconic scene from another sci-fi movie makes this one of the greatest parody scenes in cinema history. Anyone who was a kid when SpaceBalls came out probably saw an old Looney Tunes cartoon with a frog that sang and danced to the same song as the alien in this scene. I believe it's spoofing that.
The scene where they go meet Yogurt is a parody of the "Wizard of Oz" scene where they meet the Wizard for the first time. There are also numerous Star Trek spoofs and of course the "Planet of the Apes," ending.
"Go back to the golf course and work on your putz" has to be the most underrated joke in the whole movie... XD
"Wuv...twue wuv...is what bwings Us togedah fowevewwwe...". 😂
Lol, at the theater I remember the people laughed harder at the baby alien's dance number in spite of it being spoiled in the tv trailers. 😂
your laugh is so infectious. i absolutely love it.
Lol.....The wedding scene was from Kevin Kostner Robin Hood when the sheriff tries to forcefully marry the princess
Combing the desert is my favourite.
The whole scene of Dark Helmet playing with the dolls was totally improvised by Rick Moranis after a suggestion by director Brooks.
Beautiful. Spaceballs, the Reactor! A pleasure to watch you work.
I remeber seeing the original trailer, black screen with word SPACE on it and Mel comes into the scene saying where is the BALLS?
The guy doing the bleeps sweeps and the creeps does funny voices on the Police Academy movies. Should watch those if you never have.
Lone Star's little pause as he checks the logic of "So, At last we meet for the first time for the last time." is one of my favorite underrated moments in this film.
Love watching these old films with you
We ain't found shit!
delightful fun watching a rom-com with Addie
"What's the matter Colonel Sanders? Chicken?!". 😂
Addie, you made one of the most fun reactions to this movie. Thank you.
18:42: It's like getting caught playing with yourself. No happy ending. Blue-ovaried or balled
"History of the World. Part 1" is my second favorite Mel Brooks film. Only because it was the first rated R movie me and my friends every watched in teh early 80's. My father had a copy and we would watch it when no one was around. Of course we didn't get 75% of the jokes because of our age at the time. But looking back. It literally have the "Who's who" of cameos for the late 80's.. And the jokes are great.
Of course for a Mel Brooks movie, you can't beat "Young Frankenstein"
The intro with the lengthy Spaceball 1 flyby (a little under 2 minutes) obviously parodies the scale of the Star Destroyer flying over (though that’s actually less than 20 seconds) in _Star Wars,_ but also parodies _Alien_ in duration (from the first shot of the ship to the first shot of the crew is about 4 minutes). Very clever combination there. 😄
Rock Moranis is always awesome. I HIGHLY recommend 1989's Parenthood (Also with Steve Martin, Keanu Reeves and an A-list cast,) also Rock in 1986's Little Shop of Horrors ((also with Steven Martin, Bill Murray and John Candy.)
My favourite line in the movie:
- "No, sir I didn't see you playing with your dolls again!" (and saying it out loud 😁)
Mine too
Prince Valium (sort of sounds like Valiant) is always sleepy and yawning because that's one of the side-effects of taking Valium, an anti-depressant.
One of my all time favorite movies. Enjoyed watching you enjoy it ;) p.s. In an interview it was stated that Colonel Sandurz is called that for the sole purpose of the Colonel Sanders Chicken joke. My favorite useless fact on this movie ;). See you in the next :)
Best spoof is a spoof of a spoof! I don’t think it’s a coincidence that in Rogue One it had a shield with a door around a planet. Lol!
And also with you! 😅. Being a Methodist I always say that in response to hearing “May the force be with you “
"I bet she gives great helmet." Best line of the movie.
The black guy making sound effects is a comedian that is in the Police Academy movies as the character Jones.
Always such a goshdurn adorable reaction!
