The stomach bursting scene is a reference to Alien (from 1979). It's even the same actor from that movie (hence the "Oh no! Not again!" line.)
Ahhhh!!! Ok, no wonder it made no sense to me haha
@@NiaMakiReacts " they better change their code"
me after discovering the plot hole: why the hell didn't they change the air shield code to begin with?!
Did you hear the crickets chirping...lol
Yes, John Hurt
@@NiaMakiReacts So does this mean that you are going to watch Ridley Scott's "Alien" and the sequel, James Cameron's "Aliens"? (and maybe Cameron's "Terminator", "The Abyss", and "Terminator 2")?
One little detail I like is when they go to the space diner you can see the millennium falcon parked outside.
George Lucas let Mel Brooks use a lot of the Star Wars stuff including special effects. The only caveat was that Mel Brooks couldn't make Spaceballs merch because it would look like Star Wars merch. So Mel added the merchandise joke to the movie.
boo to not letting him make merch lol. I'd definitely want both
@@NiaMakiReacts the reason for that was that Lucas exclusively made money from the merchandise sales as opposed to the film sales
The alien popping out of the guy's abdomen was from the move "Alien" and the guy was John Hurt who had the alien pop out of his belly in "Alien". That was why he said, "Oh no, not again."
Totally didn’t know the reference, thank you 😊
13:49 Nice reference to "the wizard of oz" , Lone Star is the Scarcrow, Vespa is Dorothy, Dottie Matrix as the Tin Man an Barf as the Cowardly Lion.
Fun fact if it hasn't been mentioned. Joan Rivers, the voice of Dot, improvised her ENTIRE role. Mel Brooks didn't write a script for her.
Absolutely brilliant
To a lot of people of a certain age, Spaceballs was their introduction to hilarious swearing as kids, and we never forgot it (and are still laughing with every rewatch). Great reaction.
The android is a reference to C3PO, not R2-D2 lol
Yeah I corrected myself in the conclusion 😂
This is Mel Brooks' science fiction parody. It took plot points from Star Wars, but is really parodying the space fantasy sub genre: spoiled princess, rogue, Transformers, Wizard of Oz, Star Trek, the diner reenactment of the meal in Alien, Planet of the Apes, the twins from Quark...
By the way, Dot Matrix was the C-3PO of this movie. The cylinder with dome & legs is R2D2.
You can and will handle that helmet!!!! A fave movie as a kid 😊
LOL!!! I shall concentrate
"Oh, we're not going there." It's Mel Brooks. You're definitely going there.
I want to see a fully grown xenomorph wearing a hat and apron serving customers
Loved the scene where Princess Vespa fires back after her hair gets shot. I have a movie suggestion for you to react to. It's one of my favorites. The Final Countdown. (1980) The U.S.S. Nimitz goes back to December 6th, 1941. It's filmed on the Nimitz.
Mel Brooks was writing great female when that was rare. They weren’t usually just eye candy and prizes for the guys to win.
Great reaction! 😊
This is such a fun "Star Wars" spoof movie. And you can't go wrong with the hilarious Mel Brooks.
Agreed! Can’t go wrong with it haha!
Can't forget about Star Trek as well.
crazy trivia time! the space balls theme played during the mega-maid self destruct sequence? THATS THE SPINNERS. WHENEVER YOU CALL ME, I'LL BE THERE, I'LL BE AROUND. yes, those guys. could it be i'm falling in love, i'll be workin my weay back to youuuu, babe, they really got the spinners on this. WILD.
ok, so pizza the hut is disgusting.. but why? probably because of how realistic his pizza.. stuff is. and how did they make it look so real? it IS REAL. they put a guy in a heated suit full of burning copper wires AND COATED HIM IN THE CHEESE, SAUCE, AND TOPPINGS TAKEN OFF OF REAL PIZZAS. pizza the huts melty cheesy skin is entirely edible and delicious real pizza goop.
Happy you enjoyed Spaceballs, another classic from Mel Brooks.
Mel Brooks was born Melvin James Kaminsky and is of Jewish heritage. He always made Jewish jokes in his movies.
Mel Brooks received George Lucas blessing to make Spaceballs which is his parody of Star Wars 1977, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back 1980 and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi 1984. Only one condition was placed on Brooks and Spaceballs by Lucas. There could be no merchandising from the movie as Lucas felt it Spaceballs merch might get confused with official Star Wars Merch.
After seeing Pizza The Hut one may never be able to eat pizza again.
As youngster i liked this movie alot.😸"Beam me up Scotty!" is from Star Trek and Scotty is Scottish... That new Star Trek trilogy is okay too btw. 😺
A lot of people assume Mel Brooks got sued over this movie because it was too close to Star Wars. On the contrary, George Lucus loved this movie. When approached about it (also how they didn't get sued, they got permission for things that _could have_ gotten them sued otherwise) he even gave them permission to put the Millennium Falcon in the movie. Its only for like a second, but right before the diner scene if you look closely, its sitting in the parking lot.
Hey Nia, love your reactions. Just an FYI, in case you weren't aware of it, Mel Brooks is Jewish, so he never misses an opportunity to do Jewish jokes because ... well, he can (get away with it). So yes, the Druish Princess is a reference to uppity spoiled, high maintenance Jewish "Princesses". Only Mel Brooks could get away with it though, kind of like in Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein and Robin Hood: Men In Tights, all of which you've already reacted to.
yeah he can get away with it, not sure if I can get away with laughing haha
The movie you're thinking of is Prometheus which is a prequel to the movie Alien that is parodied by the dancing singing baby xenomorph 😁
3:32 "I'm sorry. I had to make a pit stop. I'm so excited, I couldn't hold my oil."
I give you Joan Rivers. In '87, she was _incredibly_ famous.
1:42 "This is ridiculous."
I was half-expecting, at some point, we would pan past a sign that read, "Big ship, isn't it?"
Nice job! Your staff should have told you this would cover more than "SW". "Wizard of Oz", original "planet of the apes", "alien", Warner brother's cartoon "one foggy evening" are those I can think of. But you were okay. I'm sure there are more references. Mel was always nostalgic. Like his movies for sale in the gift shop being a shameful plug. And his disregarding the fourth wall. I thought for a while we'd get an R2 as a trash can but Mel didn't go there. Maybe if they remake it, the they that do it, will add more. But like I said you were fine. Just keep doing this as long as it makes you happy.
I wish I had staff, haha, at the moment it is only me, with the occasional help with an editor. The discord group is fairly good about telling me things but I filed this without talking about it with them first.
Oh, and most people don't realize the plot of Spaceballs was about a 50/50 mix of Star Wars and the 1934 classic It Happened One Night, directed by Frank Capra (of It's a Wonderful Life fame).
8:27 Lone Star's name actually refers to both Han *and* Luke. Becase what do stars do metaphorically? They walk on the sky. So he's a Skywalker.
I like that!
Also Lone Star has a connection with old westerns, George Lucas originally classed Star Wars as a western in space.
"You went over my Hell-mittttt"??!!!
🤣 🤣
It’s funny George Lucas didn’t want Mel Brooks modeling the hero after Han Solo so Mel decided to go with Indiana Jones. Also George told Mel he couldn’t do any merchandise for the movie for fear it’d be confused with Star Wars so that’s why Yogurt has the store inside his place. Funny thing I didn’t notice when I first watched this movie was that Dark Helmet is wearing a necktie and what the necktie looks like. Not many people catch on to the fact that the prince she’s supposed to marry is called Prince Valium and he’s always sleepy. The radar tech is Michael Winslow who played in the police academy movies and does many different sound effects with his voice. Marlene and Charlene (the twins) did promotional stuff for double mint gum back in the 80s.
Spaceballs isn't a rewrite of a Star Wars movie. Brooks lifted a few ideas here and there, mutated them, and shoved back into a new movie. It's overall a science fantasy like Star Wars.
Princess Vespas's wedding scenes at the beginning and end of the movie are a reference to It Happened One Night.
Spotty (Scotty) and beaming is a reference to Star Trek. When President Skroob is turned backwards, is he temporarily President Brooks?
A raspberry salute is rude sound.
The video cassette shows the infinite hall of mirrors effect.
The dink dinks are a jawa version of the Seven Dwarves.
Yes, the ship turning Mega Maid refers to Transformers.
Absolutely no idea if the suck/blow refers to anything.
The end of Planet of the Apes shows a half buried Statue of Liberty in the same shape as the crashed Mega Maid components.
The Diner scene with John Hurt references an Alien scene with John Hurt.
The octopus birth might be from Prometheus.
I'm pretty sure that Mel Brooks not only parodied Star Wars but he gave honorable mention to just about every other popular sci-fi movie or series that was popular at that time!!
Star Trek- Snotty
Indiana Jones
Temple of Doom
Mentioning Rambo
Wizard of Oz
Transformers
Planet of the Apes
Alien...
Did I miss any???
In one of the earlier drafts of Star Wars, there was no Han Solo or Luke Skywalker. Just Obi-Wan Kenobi. Though the names in that draft wouldn't tell you that. That detail you only find out if you saw Akira Kurosawa's 'Hidden Fortress' (1958) which was a major inspiration for the plot and characters.
I can never stop laughing at "What's the matter Colonel Sanders? Chicken?"
Darth Vader's voice was played by James Earl Jones, although originally, at his request, he was not credited.
You seem to have your droids confused.
Spaceballs came out in 1987. "Dark Helmet" is a short Darth Vader.
When Brooks was doing the movie, George Lucas specifically asked him to not make Lone Star look like Han Solo. Which is why he is dressed as Indiana Jones...
Thank you for this reaction, I really enjoyed it! Keep up the good reactions!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Fun fact: The "dolls" scene was COMPLETELY ad libbed.
😂 😂 I’m dead!!!!
Years later, "Wash" Washburn would play with his dolls in "Firefly": czcams.com/video/e35BU1eB_5k/video.html
lucas did approve of this, and he also let them park the millennium falcon in the space port parking lot.
Nia, Joan Rivers played the robot, Fran Drescher played the Nanny, Fran Drescher was in the Weird AL movie, UHF
I'll have to check if that is in the list, theres a list on discord for movie and tv show reaction recommendations
"I can't handle all that helmet"
~ That's what SHE said! Heyyyyyy hooooo
indeed haha!
I love it how some people get so squeamish over the Jewish jokes, not realizing that Mel Brooks was himself Jewish😂
24:53 Now you have to watch "Alien" next to understand this reference. 😉 You can re-watch this movie scene afterwards and you'll have a good laugh. ^^
I was seven years old when this came out it was because of this movie that everytime my parents misplaced something and asked me if I'd found it I'd always reply I ain't found Spaceballs and my parents would always crack up laughing
I’m really glad that I started to subscribe here!
Your reactions are pure entertainment! 👍🏼
Thank you for subscribing!!
Love the braids queen
thank you!!
the diner scene was a spoof from "Alien". If you haven't seen that you should add it to your list
Is it scary though? 🙈
@@NiaMakiReacts a little, there are some jump scares, and the move does a good job of building tension. The catch linr for this movie when it came out in 1979 was "In space no one can hear you scream"
@@NiaMakiReacts Yes, it's definitely got its scary moments, but more than that, it's very suspenseful. I think you would appreciate it. One of the greatest movies ever. 👽
I'm a little saddened that you didn't know the Vulcan neck pinch. I mean, they still make Star Trek movies and TV shows, just like they're still making Star Wars and Planet of the Apes media, so it kinda shocks me you've never come across that before. In the original series (and the reboot movies with Chris Pine as Captain Kirk), Kirk's first mate and Science Officer is an alien named Spock from the planet Vulcan and his neck pinch trick was his favorite way to incapacitate the bad guys they would encounter.
If you ever watch Back to the Future, you may find some familiar references in that movie as well.
There's a movie and he's the same actor in the movie called alien
The merchandising joke is a huge dig at George Lucas, who made his fortune off of Fox's stupidity (They let him have the merchandising rights to Star Wars as his payment for directing). He let Mel parody Star Wars so long as he never made Spaceballs merch. Lucas also wouldn't let Mel dress Lone Star as Solo, so that's why he wears Indy's jacket 😉
OOOOOOH!!!!! well that's funny!
And then in 1996 Lonestar teamed up with Will Smith to save the Earf from an alien invasion.
Also I'm still waiting for my Spaceballs: The Flamethrower.
"Spaceballs": Mel Brooks does to Space Operas what he'd done to the Hollywood Western with "Blazing Saddles" (1974). If you can read this, you don't need glasses. 2:47 All hail Darth Beta, the boss of the aquarium!;) 3:31 I've read that Comedienne Joan Rivers, who played "Dot Matrix," ad-libbed her lines in this movie. Aww, you blooped out the "colorful metaphors." 16:22 Sometime in 2002: czcams.com/video/e35BU1eB_5k/video.html 25:02 "One Froggy Evening." Michigan J. Frog:czcams.com/video/6OCzxCHMrpU/video.html 27:53 Next up: "Galaxy Quest" (1999): czcams.com/video/VtHM77IRkus/video.html A search of your videos shows no "Alien" (1979) lurking in the shadows...
Also the black guy on pick in desert is actor from Syar Trek Vpuagas Tuvok. Stoll proud to today. Also Plasyuc Surgeon nurse actress played the main Captain in STARSHIP TROOPERS. and if you look close at Cafe scene on parking lot The MILLINEUM FALCON from STAR WARS IN the lot
I thought my tremor typing/misspelling was bad! At least, I proofread.
Star Trek: Voyager.
Nia, you may be thinking of Prometheus with the alien (octopus looking thing) coming out of someone's stomach.
yeah that's the one lol!!!!
@@NiaMakiReacts Prometheus is a prequel to 1979s Alien (the scene being parodied), but it doesn't really have anything to do with it.
Now you know where Tesla got the Type S Plaid with Ludicrous speed mode
the quintessential Mel Brooks movie - makes you laugh over and over again, no matter how many times you've seen it.
Coulda put some brandy in your coffee ya know!
ahhh, I may consider it
@@NiaMakiReacts i was joshing lol! I give the worst advice lol
Irish Coffee to watch a Mel Brooks space comedy, sounds 100% American.;)
Coffee - the morning happy juice.
That is true, I only had instant coffee that morning, the horror 😂
As reviewers pointed out...the parody that was released 10 years after the the original movie it was supposed to spoof. That's like a lifetime in terms of audience retention.
The movie you were describing was Prometheus which is also directed by Ridley Scott who directed Alien which has the scene the diner bit from Spaceballs is spoofing.
thats the movie!
ooh, you have not seen Alien or Aliens. That scene near the end where an Alien popped out of the man's chest, is from Alien, and the actor is the same guy from Alien.
11:26 All movies Mel Brooks has actually made.
Thanks!
Thanks so much!!
When Mel Brooks asked George Lucas about making the movie George said he was ok with it but Lone star could not be dressed like Han Solo so Mel said ok I will dress him like Indiana Jones instead.
either way it worked out haha!
17:01 "She's already _had_ a nose job. It was a Sweet Sixteen present."
🤔 _Sixteen?_ You got her a nose job when she turned _sixteen?_ I mean, shoot. _I_ would never do that. When you're sixteen, you're still a _kid._ If the operation is not something you'll die _without,_ you can do without it at least until you turn _eighteen._
I mean, at _that_ age, in the eyes of the law, you're an _adult,_ so if you still want a nose job, and you're _my_ daughter, sure. I'll pay for you to have a _nose_ job. But wait 'til you're eighteen. Sixteen is too young.
wait have you been mixing up C3PO and R2D2's names this whole time?
It was too late when I realized it 😂
I think you’re confusing Star Wars droids. C-3P0 did get a parody in this movie, it was R2-D2 that didn’t
yeah I corrected myself in the outro lol
So many hilarious one-liners in this movie.
"Whatsa matter Colonel Sanders??? CHICKEN??" I saw this movie as a kid, but didn't get that joke until I grew up.
I think when I was watching I just laughed at the sound he made when he responded, but when I was editing I finally got it lol

All of you who recommend Spaceballs need to tell them to watch Alien and Planet of the Apes first.
You got the droids backwards dot matrix is supposed to be c3po and r2dr is the droid not appearing in this film
Spaceballs the comment!
Love the braids
sorry the curls are in hiding, protective styles for a bit hehe
Nia , you might have seen Prometheus, that was a prequel? to the Alien movies from the late 1970s
YES! That's it!!!!!!
President Skroob - Brooks spelled backwards.
The only part of this i don't like is at the wedding lone Starr does not close his eyes when he kisses vespa, that's just wierd
Nia, Google Joan Rivers!
That is who C3PO voice was meant to be if it wasn't indeed her for real.
While the little alien creature didn't have much to do with the plot it was a direct reference to the Alien movie from 1979 ( which I'm sure someone has already pointed out ) and the little creature was doing a spoof of a 1940's cartoon character that goes by the name Michigan J. Frog who sang that exact song in the cartoon. czcams.com/video/bkjsN-J27aU/video.html and BTW did you notice a familiar looking ship outside the space diner ? You saw it in Star Wars. Its a real blink and you miss it moment. Great reaction !!!
13:52 Am I the only one who thinks this scene bears a resemblance to _The Wizard of Oz?_
I mean there are _four_ of them. One sort of looks like Tin Man. One sort of looks like Cowardly Lion. They're going to see this character with a very large, far-reaching _social_ stature whose _physical_ stature is not quite so impressive.
Is it just me seeing this resemblance?
Nia, if you want a funny movie, try Midnight Madness (1980) i think it was secretly made by George Lucas from Star Wars
oh can you see similarities between them?
So you don’t like a BIG HELMET?
Just worried about the fit
I fuckin' love John Candy(Barf). John Candy is who Chris Farley was trying super hard to be but failed at it.
😭 😭 😭
No lies detected
Hello there Nia
hey aran!
Nia, i think you can say ass on tv , so you don't have to bleep it?
youtube just updated some of their terms and they are even backdating prior videos...
I really hope you gave this reaction its title because you meant to... Otherwise.................. :)

Loved this one as a kid, but the older I get the more cheesy it gets :D
Haha!!! It’s definitely a very silly movie
She don’t get it

So I heard Alien is scary… but I didn’t know so many other shows parodied Star Wars, that’s awesome
@@NiaMakiReacts Alien is scary or at least R rated with jump scares. Fear is subjective. It has creatures that can kill but also a hero fighting back and it and Predictor are part of the same story line.
yes many shows did parody of Star Wars either for part or all of an episode.
Muppet Show and Muppet babies fall in to the "1st trilogy era" where as Family Guy, Robot Chicken and Phineas and Ferb fall in to the "1st 6 movies era" and Lego did all 9 movies
@@NiaMakiReacts Hardware Wars is a fan short that was shown at science fiction conventions. I find it hilarious.
