Dark Helmet's entrance is executed in hilarious fashion. I like how the mystique slowly goes away with each passing second. My favorite shot is when he's walking and the camera pans to reveal he's way shorter than his subordinates and the face reveal at the end is perfect.

Young Frankenstein was actually Gene Wilder's movie. The company just got Mel Brooks involved because they didn't think Gene Wilder's name would draw as much of an audience. This is why Young Frankenstein is the only Mel Brooks film in which he does not appear.

ILM outdid themselves for that long shot. It's just the longest model they ever made, in all likelihood. No one can look at that sequence for the first time and comment on how long it is. Clearly someone is compensating.

I remember going to watch this at the cinema with my Dad not expecting a comedy but rather a Star Wars clone movie. Everyone in the theater thought there was something wrong with the movie reel.. I mean how long can a spaceship be! That intro will sit with me to the end of my days, LOL.
When twelve year old me first saw that alien bust into hello my darling I could not be contained, knees weak on the floor balling for days and again at any mention of the scene.
My friends and I were grown men when we saw this, and believe me the "alien" breaking into Warner Bros mode made us laugh so hard that everyone else in the theater was laughing at US!
When Dark Helm starts flying holding onto the bar and he looks so small like a child gets me every time, same with the fight scene with Dark Helm and Lone Starr and he pushes on Dark Helm’s head like a 6 year old running at him, “Fooled Youuu,” and “Oh my go-, I can’t believe it- you fell for the oldest trick in the book”
Lucas gave permission and resources to Brooks to make this movie on one condition, no merchandising! Thus the scene about spaceball merchandising @5:45.
My wife and me watch this movie at least twice a year and every time, we quote every line laugh our butts off. The hilarity never gets old. Mel Brooks is a genius and his movies are timeless.
I saw this with my grandma in the movie theater back in the day. We were literally dying when Darth Helmet flew to the cockpit of the ship after breaking from ludicrous speed. And dying harder when it was played in fast forward later on.
