Another thing: one of the stipulations that George Lucas had was that Lonestar was not dressed like Han Solo. So Mel Brooks dressed him like Indiana Jones.
@Barnaclebeard booo, your comment is lame and useless. Scary Movie gets sequels because new horror flicks need ripped off. Nobody cares about the new Starwars movies enough to think the parody needs a sequel.
Spaceballs does NOT need a sequel, especially with several members of the cast no longer with us. It didn't need an animated TV series either, but we got it anyway.
If they do make a sequel, I really like the idea of it being titled Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2 Can be a spoof of how the whole 9 movie series was made out of order and can address why some characters are no longer there (if they even want to do that).
You also left out that Brooks credits Michael Winslow, who played the radar operator in the movie, with saving him a ton of money by doing the sound effects himself.
Thanks for this one! Spaceballs is one of Mel Brooks' funniest parodies, where Nothing, not Star Wars, not Star Trek, not Planet of the Apes, or even Transformers: the Movie, was sacred. Even the G. I. Joe Defiant Shuttle Complex got in on the act. So many scenes to appreciate- my three faves are: 1. Capt. Lone Starr (a play on both Han Solo and Filmation's Bravestarr): "The first thing we do is we Drop the matching luggage!" 2. Dark Helmet: "You IDIOTS! You captured their STUNT Doubles!" 3. Colonel Sandurz: "No, Sir! I did not see you playing with your toys again, Sir!"
Folks, in the airline pilot world, we quote lines from this and the Airplane movies daily..... "Billy, have you ever seen a grown man naked?" Of course, never with an actual child in the cockpit.
Rocky, I really enjoy your production, most 'things you didn't know ' videos are fill with things we all already knew, but you always give us new information
The "Spaceballs 2: The search for more money" title was shown at the end of the Spaceballs movie, it would be a let down if it was called anything else.
I always thought it would be funny if Mel Brooks Came back to this, and did a Parody Special Edition, including deleted scenes, but of coruse, just filming new stuff with the actors as they were older, and sticking them into the original movie,
It's not that he (George Lucas) didn't want Mel Brooks to make money off of merchandising... it's that he didn't want a line of merchandise out there that could possibly be confused with Star Wars merchandise.
Airplane, Blazing Saddles, Hot Shots (part deux), Life of Brian, Meaning of Life, Monty Python & the Holy Grail, Police Squad(s), Young Frankenstein - TAKE YER PICK........ Shoutout to Sledge Hammer - THE SERIES!
They were talking about Spaceballs 2 around the time The Phantom Menace came out. I loved reading the novelisation as a child, years before I actually saw the movie on TV. So many great lines ("They jammed the radar" is one of mine).
When I bought my eldest ot see it fadó fadó, he said "in about 20 years everyone will know just how great it is" - he loved the 'real-time marketing /VHS scene in particular (we still do it at family gettogethers/weddings when the mood hits). 20+ Earthturns later - DAMN TOOTIN' - the Boy was right!
I will have to give you credit. I did not know about almost all of these. Good job. Also, I have no idea how they could possibly top this movie. Especially with today's political and cultural climate.
Thank you Mr. Mel Brooks, Showing me not take my self so seriously. Although your work is off the chart, it is one of the best things going in a world with out direction. Miss your lovely wife Ann. Ruth, 2:4 The Lord Be With You................
Should have thrown in Tim Russ! I know it's fairly well known among the deep nerds, but it's surprising how many casual fans of Spaceballs and Voyager still have not heard this.
Knew most of these except for the fact that SB2 is currently in production. Like, ACTUALLY in production. I'd heard rumors for over 30 years of course, but this time it's not just an empty rumor. Details are sparse but it is being bankrolled by Amazon.
For several years, I thought that Elon would have to make that sequel a reality. He ran out of power levels for teslas, so making an even quicker one would need a movie to introduce its new power mode.
Why would *anyone* think green screen technology would damage their eyes? It's just a green backdrop. The camera didn't shoot lasers or anything. And blue screen tech had been used for decades already.
I saw this at the odeon leicester Sq I remember when the man playing the organ when down in his pit people cheered not sure they were happy what he played or they were glad he was going away 🙈
I never once that spaceballs looked anything like hardware wars When star wars was remastered and rereleased to theaters, hardware wars had a special edition too. Lols were had
I was a little excited to hear about Spaceballs 2. But then I heard that Josh Gad is apparently involved, and it's clearly going to be garbage. Whoever told that guy he had talent was just being mean for no reason.
Yeah. The fact that he is involved and that its amazon doesn't give me any hope for it being funny. I just don't they will let Mel brooks make a Mel Brooks film.
Another thing: one of the stipulations that George Lucas had was that Lonestar was not dressed like Han Solo. So Mel Brooks dressed him like Indiana Jones.
He also forbade he make any merchandise. Thats why we get the spaceballs merchandise scene.
That’s awesome…..I wonder what George thought of it
@@chrisnotyou oh, you watched this video also. Well done 👏
@@CsykKrit No, I didn't.
@@chrisnotyouapparently you’re not fluent in sarcasm. The video states that no merchandise could be made.
In my Jr. High English class we read "Spaceballs: The Book" in class, out loud, taking turns as a class activity.
The cast was perfect.
Just make sure you aren't talking about their stunt doubles
A sequel without John Candy just wouldn’t be good.
Yeh. He’s his own best friend 🤪
Some films just aren't made to have a sequel. This whole category can't have sequels. I mean, could you imagine "Men in tights 2"?

mel brooks is a prophet with the line,the search for more money
Spaceballs does NOT need a sequel, especially with several members of the cast no longer with us. It didn't need an animated TV series either, but we got it anyway.
Although, having a Mel Brooks style parody of the Disney trilogy might be great
Hopefully it’s better than history of the world part 2
"Whats the matter Col Sanders...... CHICKEN!?!!!!"
I always thought it was stupidly simple no-effort- to-write joke. But I did laugh when I read your comment, so it wins me.
If they do make a sequel, I really like the idea of it being titled Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2
Can be a spoof of how the whole 9 movie series was made out of order and can address why some characters are no longer there (if they even want to do that).
About Barf, the line that Barf says about his tail having a mind of its own makes more sence now that we know another person was operating the tail.😅
So this is what it's like someone narrating a video without background music I absolutely love it Three thumbs up

Josh Gad doing a Spaceball sequel? With Amazon? That’s a big NO from me.
Who is he?
yeah i am thinking the same thing, it's not going to be good!
That was my exact thought. No... WE dont need it.... WE DONT WANT IT.

KEEP FIRING @$$HOLES!
no one can replace Barf
Loved the movie. It was nice to watch a movie that was just fun. Mel Brooks is an incredible talent. Blessings Georgie.
Definitely knew about the merchandise thing. Love how Mel says in the movie merchandising where the real money of the movie is made !!

Spaceballs.......silly and juvenile, ITS SUPPOSED TO BE!
That's critics for you. Want everything to be a depressing drama.
Famous mime duo . . . That phrase has never been uttered in the English language.
They were incredibly well known throughout the villages of Brittany LOL
Amazon will toxify the movie with a Mary sue, bumbling male lead, and a plot that can drain my macaroni.
Critics calling Spaceballs "silly and juvenile" is hardly criticism. It IS silly and juvenile.
A sequel now wouldn’t work. Nobody could replace John Candy.

My all time favorite movie! Anytime someone asks, "What's your favorite movie?" , its always SPACEBALLS.
Brooks must have had the Moranis fever when he agreed to let Gad get anywhere near it. Did he see Pixels? Or any of his other ‘movies’.
IT'S MY INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH HAIR DRYER, AND I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT!!!
I always thought it would be funny if Mel Brooks Came back to this, and did a Parody Special Edition, including deleted scenes, but of coruse, just filming new stuff with the actors as they were older, and sticking them into the original movie,

It wouldn't be as good without John Candy as Barf
It's not that he (George Lucas) didn't want Mel Brooks to make money off of merchandising... it's that he didn't want a line of merchandise out there that could possibly be confused with Star Wars merchandise.
Boy, he's really always been arrogant and out of touch, hasn't he?
Spaceballs - The Movie,
Daphne - THE GODDESS! Wow.
Isn't Mel a bit past it now? He's 98!😊
Let him do it ! People who are busy with something they love haven't got time to die.
Love Hardware Wars.
My brother and I are in our 50's and still quote lines from Hardware Wars at each other. 😁
The chick that played the princess was pretty hot... definitely stacked
You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll kiss three bucks goodbye.

Ummmmmm no,we don't need a sequel thanks.😬😬

These are just 20 random facts about spaceballs that just about every true fan already know.
I will have to give you credit. I did not know about almost all of these. Good job. Also, I have no idea how they could possibly top this movie. Especially with today's political and cultural climate.

I really wanted the Spaceballs flame thrower.
Great video mate, I loved this movie.
You know they will F...up sequel
I want a Spaceballs The Sheet so bad
No remakes or sequels... The first one was perfect. Hollywood needs to stop messing with classics to earn a cheap buck.
Lost it at the R.L. Stine reveal
Whooo hoooo, another Rocky on the tube! Not sure if that’s a good thing😂😂😂😂
Buddy threatened to walk off HIS OWN MOVIE? How would that even work??
Knew most of these except for the fact that SB2 is currently in production. Like, ACTUALLY in production. I'd heard rumors for over 30 years of course, but this time it's not just an empty rumor. Details are sparse but it is being bankrolled by Amazon.
I hope they don't make a sequel., not now without the original actors and Mel directing.
No Spaceballs 2 without John Candy, RIP
Easily top 5 movies of all times. Maybe top 3
Spaceballs 2 better be at least as good as Bill and Ted 3
RIP John Candy
Did you know that in german they added an F to Colonel Sandurz, so the name is Colonel Sandfurz... which means sand-fart 😂

@UncleJackOnline "more to the side."
Spaceballs the cereal! 100% sugar

Oh god. I completely forgot about Morons from Outer Space.
Since Barf isn't around anymore, it would be hard to make it work.
As long as they don’t screw it up
There is no chance they won't. Not a single one.
Sweet Jesus I hope they don't make a sequel. That would be a tragedy.
And how exactly would they bring back Barf? CGI?
I would love to see the search for more money.😂
These are not them, you’ve captured their stunt doubles!
Please no sequel. We're so fortunate with what we have in Spaceballs, don't try to milk it anymore.
Hilarious 😂😂
cant imagine a reboot could remotely compare to the original. just leave it alone and come up with new ideas.
I saw this at the odeon leicester Sq I remember when the man playing the organ when down in his pit people cheered not sure they were happy what he played or they were glad he was going away 🙈
No that's to slow... we need LUDACRIS SPEED.... I think k Lucas actually has a few of the merch props
Can't wait to NOT watch Amazon's buthchering of another beloved pop culture icon. "Spaceballs 2: Amazon's Quest To Destroy Spaceballs" 👎
They are some things you just don’t touch! 👍
They lost me at Josh Gad. Another talentless hack.
I don't want Amazon touching my Schwartz.

Fuck me running, that wasn't an April fools joke?!?!?

Hot take, but Spaceballs is my least favorite Mel Brooks film.
My favorite is the fly, with Jeff Goldblum
Do not remake this movie or a sequel
I never once that spaceballs looked anything like hardware wars
When star wars was remastered and rereleased to theaters, hardware wars had a special edition too. Lols were had
I knew all 20 things
Spaceballs 2? As long as it's not woke trash, I'm all in for that.
A spaceballs not written and directed by mel brooks is not a space balls.
don't do it. leave it alone. it was perfect. no sequel
#7 is BS chroma key or green screen was used in movies for decades before Spaceballs
Way too late for sequel, wouldn't work
I just watched this movie last night.
It is pronounced YAR-nell. Not Yanell. AI strikes again.
Brits...

Hard pass on Josh Gad
You know, Josh Gad could actually make a pretty decent Barf.
I've seen the Spaceballs cartoon. It was awful.
Almost made it through half of one episode of the animated series. So unwatchable
Nope. No one wants a Spaceballs sequel.
Why do I get the feeling that a sequel nowadays will just be another liberal pandering mess?
come up with new ideas, stop messing with classics
I was a little excited to hear about Spaceballs 2.
But then I heard that Josh Gad is apparently involved, and it's clearly going to be garbage. Whoever told that guy he had talent was just being mean for no reason.
