"What is the history between Lone Star and Dark Helmet?"
That was clearly explained in chapter 8.
I know, right!
I am your fathers brothers cousins nephews roomate?
Oh, it’s super simple. Dark Helmet was Lonestar‘s father‘s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate.
Obviously.
@@mena94x3 What did they make them to each other?
Mel Brooks was a visionary: He portrayed Dark Helmet as a whiny guy long before George Lucas made the prequels showing young Anakin.
ohhhhh
90% percent of that is the performance of Rick Moranis
Well to be honest Luke was sort of whiny in a New Hope.
@@dsfddsgh UR not wrong
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
During the recent mask mandates, my son ordered one on line that said SPACEBALLS THE FACE MASK on the front. Only sophisticated people got the joke. Great reaction by the way 👍👍
I want one :)
I
Need
This
I got that too! Was my favorite mask
Haha I bought the same one...
I got one too!
Fun fact: the chest burst victim is John Hurt, the exact same actor used for the scene in “Alien”. Which is why you hear him say, “Oh no, not again!”
And she needs to see alien to get that reference.
The "Spaceball Cassette" scene is one of the best 4th wall breaks in movie history.
Fun fact: The entire "dolls" scene was COMPLETELY ad libbed.
Another Mel brooks staple.
Apparently in lots of his movies there are ad libbed scenes
@@sgtjohnson what does ad libbed mean in acting
@@johnnymoreno5065 made up on the spot by the actor with no script
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
The radar operator is Michael Winslow. He's mostly known his role in the Police Academy movies, where he became famous for the various sounds that he could make with his mouth.
Funniest scene ever.
He was on America’s got talent this year
I loved him in Police Academy. The 1980s had the best comedies and parodies in the history of the silver screen.
@@sgtjohnson I guess I have some searching to do.
He's on the current season of Americas Got Talent. He says he got out of the game for the most part to be there for his kids but they're all grown now and his son suggested he go on AGT.
16:32 Helmet talking to Sandurz through a megaphone only to turn to his troops combing the desert and start shouting at them is such an underrated joke.
BTW, the Soldier combing the desert with the hair pick who says “We ain’t found shit!” is Tim Russ (Tuvok from Star Trek Voyager).
I have seen this movie many times and have never noticed that

th-cam.com/video/UQ7TnQBSV00/w-d-xo.html
Also the actor who played the guy who had the chest burster come out (John Hurt) was the same actor who played that same character in Alien. That's why he says "Oh no! Not again!"
It's a shame the spoof genre devolved as it has, there hasn't been a decent one in twenty years. This one still holds up.
The Alien bit at the end uses the same actor, John Hurt, from the original.
May the schwartz be with you.
Last one was probably Scary Movie 3.
John was actually in "The Elephant Man", which Brooks produced.
...I truly believe the reason is that spoof movies for the past 20 years are made by people who don't like the movies they're spoofing.
ZAZ loved Zero Hour and hence made Airplane, loved cop procedurals hence Naked Gun. Mel brooks enjoyed westerns hence Blazing Saddles and had huge respect for George Lucas' Star Wars hence Spaceballs. (Even Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg loved zombie movies and buddy cop movies, hence made Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, the closest things to good spoof movies we've had in decades.)
No offense to the Scary Movie franchise but I don't think the Wayans' particularly liked Scream, The Matrix, M. Night's, etc. movies.
There is a line between making fun of the flaws of the things you love and making fun of the things you don't like.
Tropic Thunder
I'd have to say, Superhero Movie is still a guilty pleasure of mine, when it comes to spoofs
14:45---One of the "Dinks" is played by Ed Gale, who's best known as the stunt double for Chucky the Killer Doll and the actor who played Howard the Duck.
Gale was having lunch with his friend who's nearly seven foot tall and the friend had invited Mel Brooks to lunch. When Mel Brooks arrived, he looked at the two of them and asked, "How did you guys meet?" The Friend explained Gale was the guy who played Howard the Duck, and Brooks immediately said, "ANYONE who was in HOWARD THE DUCK............can be in one of my movies."
And that's how Ed became a "Dink".
"When did we get to Disneyland?"
That's even funnier now since Disney owns Fox which made Star Wars!
Especially since George Lucas not only signed off on Spaceballs - The Script, but had ILM do all of the space special effects and postproduction on the film. According to Mel Brooks, George Lucas wrote him a letter saying how much he loved the film, stating, “It’s dangerous comedy. I was afraid I would burst something from laughing.”
They guy who tells Helmet, We ain't found shit, is played by Tim Russ would go on to play a Vulcan on Star Trek Voyager for 7 seasons
And Principal Franklin on Icarly
He also played a different character on Star Trek TNG, for one episode
Merchandising!
The greatest dig at George Lucas and how he made his fortune off the merchandising of Star Wars (and gave Brooks permission for the spoof so long as he sold no merchandise).
actually! george lucas asked for no merchandise to be made when brooks came to him about the parody- in exchange lucas lended him the effects team that worked on star wars
while it is a dig at that too- it's still fun to know about how it came about
@@GamingVeo Which is the most obvious at the launching of the escapepods scene. Literally the same footage. :)
Fox had no faith in the saga they let GL keep all the revenue from merchandising
Fun fact: The voice of Dark Helmet when his helmet is closed is not altered or a voice over. Rick Moranis just did that himself. Genius.
When I was in high school I was very shy. I wanted to ask a girl out but I didn't have the courage. So I entered a contest to win two tickets to see Spaceballs. I told myself if I won the contest I would ask her to go with me. I won the contest and dated her for 3 years.
True fact about Spaceball 1 (the massive starship used by Dark Helmet): two different prop models were built, one small and one that was enormous. The enormous model measured 17 feet in length, making it one of the largest freestanding scale models ever constructed for a sci-fi film.
I actually met the man who played Colonel Sanders. He signed a picture from this movie that had him, Rick Moranis and Mel Brooks.
The scene where they watch the movie during the movie is one of the most clever thing in any movie ever.
I've seen this movie hundreds of times, and never noticed the "No unauthorized or authorized personnel permitted to enter" on the sign after the Vulcan neck pinch. LOL.
You know why Tesla's fastest model is called plaid? Now you do.
Don't they also have a "ludicrous speed"? :D
10:54 - You know Mel Brooks' comedy style is genius when the snort comes out.
I don't know if you noticed, the can that Mel Brooks was sniffing was labeled Perri-air (there's a company that bottles water called Perrier😂), canned in Druidia, naturally sparkling, salt-free air🤣. I love all the obscure little subtle details in Mel Brooks movies, they only get a second or two of screen time but can still make you burst out laughing if you understand the references lol.
Rick Moranis improvised the entire doll scene
Fun fact! The "hello my baby" song that was sung by the alien from Alien (and the Frog from Looney Tunes) was actually the first ever recorded song to reference the telephone.
25:00 when you watch Alien you'll realise why the actor John Hurt exclaims, "Oh, no! Not again!" As he is the same actor who plays Kane in Alien...
And the super long slow panning of the Spaceball 1 was a nod to the Nostromo from Alien as well (though most assumed it was from Star Wars...me included until recently)
Bill Pullman gave one of the best speech in the history of movie making. Independence Day
Fun fact Mel Brooks actually wanted the opening ship scene to be longer but everyone talked him out of it saying there has to be a movie. I believe he wanted it to last aboute 30 minutes. Fun things you learn from watching DVD commentaries. And Dark Helmet's desert helmet the way the face mask is cut all I can see is a smiley face.
12345 that's amazing I got the same combination on my luggage 🤣
You are not old enough to remember; Vespa was an Italian brand of motor scooters.
Here's something that doesn't get the rounds too often that you might like, National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1, starring Emilio Estevez, Samuel L Jackson, Tim Curry and William Shatner. As you can probably tell from its title, it's a spoof on the Lethal Weapon movies, along with throwing in a whole lot more!
Very underrated.
Love how you got all the references to other movies, allowed you to appreciate the jokes all the way.
It was nice to see someone react to a movie and know the references
She missed the nod to Alec Guiness with the Dinks dinking along to Colonel Bogey's March from Bridge on the River Kwai.
The one time I'm not craving for pizza, my favorite food, is when I see Pizza the Hutt. "Go back to then" and "Are we being too literal" crack me up every time
Also the sound guy with the bleeps, sweeps and creeps is also amusing
I was fortunate enough to see this on the big screen back when it was a first run movie. Such an awesome and wonderful memory.
Not sure if anyone mentioned this or not, but theres a small Easter Egg in the beginning when the Princess gets rescued. In Star Wars, the Empire is always LOOKING for the rebel base to finish off the alliance. In Spaceballs, the Princess is singing in jail with a very deep bass voice. When Lonestar and Barf find her and she's singing, Barf steps back and with astonishment says "Shes a bass!" (hidden bass)
21:00 minutes = "who builds a ship that can transform into a maid?!" Mel Brooks!!
"Whole length of the film" well funny fact Mel Brook's once joked if it was up to him all the film would be is 3 hours of that ship flying then just as the end of the ship appears on screen the end credits roll.
Best line. "Is that Bill Pullman?". Words that nobody else has ever uttered.
Clearly, you are in need of a Spaceballs' Flame Thrower 🤣
Bill Pullman is one of my favorite actors because #1 Korso in Titan A.E. and #2 the president in Independence Day.
Yes that was someone making sounds with there voice the actor in that scene is Michael Winslow. Who is Famous for making realistic sounds with his voice, and being in the movie police academy.
He gained fame from the Police Academy series. He did stand-up based out of Orlando. When his wife died, he quit showbiz to take care of his kids. He was recently on America Got Talent.
This film doesn't just break the 4th wall, it drives tank through it
"Might be spoofing Wizard of Oz": You have Dorothy (Vespa,) Scarecrow (Lone Star,) Tin Man (Dot,) and Cowardly Lion (Barf.)
Now Police Squad, Naked Gun, Spy Hard, Spies Like Us, Loaded Weapon, Hot Shots 1 and 2, Airplane 1 and 2, Monty Python (just all of it), Mystery Men, Blazing Saddles, Men in Tights...
I could watch this movie a thousand times and never get tired of it.
Also I personally get sad when I see John Candy in movies because I will always remember the day he died from lung cancer, John was a heavy smoker then. R.I.P John Candy (The Legend).
I get the same way watching The Blues Brothers. So many of the cast, the band, and the cameo artists are no longer with us.
@@dr.burtgummerfan439 yeah love that film too, R.I.P John Belushi (loved him in Animal House also).
This is my 2nd favorite Mel Brooks comedy (first one being Blazing Saddles)! There are so many quotable lines from this movie. One of my favorite moments is when the gang is going for the escape pods and the bearded lady takes it and Moran curses her out. I must have laughed a whole 5 minutes when I first saw it years ago. Great reaction Kay. Looking forward to the next one.
14:56 This quote ended up aging like a fine wine.
So happy you said "may the schwartz be with you" at the end of the movie!
After all these years, and dozens of times watching this movie, I just now noticed Optimus Prime on the cover of Spaceballs the coloring book.
Spaceballs is the greatest parody ever made. One of my favorite lines, "What's the matter Colonel Sanders, CHICKEN?"
"I knew it, I'm surrounded by assholes... KEEP FIRING, ASSHOLES!"
"No sir, I didn't see you playing with your dolls again!"
"I don't know what to do! I can't make decisions! I'M A PRESIDENT!"
I LOVED this as a kid (And still do :P). My dad had it on VHS, and I ended up watching it so much the tape failed. Sad, sad day
"When will then be now?"
"SOON!"
Fun fact, if it hasn't been already mentioned - Joan Rivers, the voice of Dot, improvised EVERY single line. She did not have a script.
This movie takes place in the same galaxy as Star Wars because in the diner scene at the end if you look closely the millennium falcon is parked in the diner parking lot
If you love Bill Pullman, check out Ruthless People which was his debut. It stars Danny DeVito and Bette Midler and it’s hysterical.😂👍
"I love wrong numbers!"
Mel Brooks movies have aged very well.
I crushed hard on Bill Pullman in While You Were Sleeping too! Every time it would show on tv I would watch it. 😆
"I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate."
Father's Brother=your uncle.
Uncle's nephew=you (assuming you are a guy, which Lonestar is)
Father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate=your cousin's roommate
(Yes, I realize "you" might not be your uncle’s only nephew, but I'm a smart @$$. Just let me be a smart @$$)
@@scpredacted8096 unless your uncle's nephew was from his spouse's side of the family. Then they wouldn't be your cousin... 🤔
18:20 this is an appropriate reaction to the funniest joke in the movie.
Interesting fact: Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise were optioned to play Lone Star
Bill Pullman is the second most badass movie President after Harrison Ford
Sooo....Peter Sellers is third?
Great Star Wars spoof you should also see Family Guy Star Wars 3 episodes special. Fyi the guy in the alien scene is the actual actor who plays in Alien and has an alien come out of his stomach that is why he is saying not again :)
In addition to Star Wars, they also poke at Star Trek, Alien (opening scene of the Spaceball 1 vs Nostromo, and of course the diner scene), Wizard of Oz, Max Headroom, and Bridge on the River Kwai.
it went a lot farther than you realize, for example just before the Alien jumps out of his chest, he says "Oh no, not again" because it was the same actor from Alien, his second time having an alien popping out of his chest.
The most famous behind the scenes story with this movie is, Mel Brooks went to George Lucas for permission to make a Star Wars spoof. He was given permission but was not allowed to sell any merchandise per their agreement. So Brooks put all the merchandise inside the film which Lucas thought was hilarious.
Dark Helmet playing with his dolls was complete ad-lib from Rick Moranis.
Radar jammed scene was brought to you by Michael Winslow, famous for Police Academy amongst other films.
While You Were Sleeping is one of my wife's favourite movies. This movie just has such a great cast!
How did I only just now notice Col. Sanders dodging the camera just before it hits Dark Helmet?
Absolutely agree about While You Were Sleeping. I adore that movie. ‘It looked like he was…leaning.’ You earned a sub :)
12:38 That scene "Now is Now" is one of the funniest bits ever in a movie.
I watched this with the commentary on the DVD… Mel Brooks in the commentary said that the commentary was available on the Laserdisc version, that he initially wanted the ship in the beginning to go on for the length of the movie and that the executives wanted a plot and everything! 😂😂 Also that photo of Princess Vespa's nose was just for the scene… 😁😁
King Roland was played by Dick Van Patton, the preacher in the wedding scenes is Ronnie Graham, a very good friend of Mel Brooks. John Hurt is the guy in the Diner who gets the alien bursting out of his chest was in the original Alien movie.
In the reverse the vacuum scene it was funny when Col Sandurz says it’s mega maid she’s gone from suck to blow I was surprised it got a PG rating back in 1987 with all the language and adult humor in it
If you liked Young Frankenstine, you should watch Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995)
"Two characters this time, huh Mel Brooks?"
Me(remembering him as the Indian Chief and Lepetomane(the Governor)in "Blazing Saddles": Yeah, thats...thats new...
Watched this in ‘89, when I first saw Pizza the Hut it made me physically ill.
Need more 80s ! How about Flight of the Navigator ?
My favorite pandemic purchase was a face mask that says "Spaceballs the face mask", It always gets a giggle out of the cool people.
I don't know if you noticed, or if anyone told you already, but the millenium falcon was parked outside the space restaurant in the movie.
She was passing Jupiter two is a great reference for old sci-fi show lost in space where the ship the Robinson family was on was The Jupiter two.
Fun fact Mel brooks got the go ahead from George Lucas to make a space balls as a spoof of Star Wars with a condition of no toys or products come out of it
If "While You Were Sleeping" is your fav, then you would LOVE "What's Up Doc?" (1972)
First time encountering your channel. Haven't even watched yet, and I'm giving you a thumbs up just for the title. I can tell I'm going to like your sense of humor.
When George Lucas agreed to give Mel Brooks fair use of Star Wars he had 2 main conditions: No merchandise and Lonestar couldn't dress like Han Solo. That is wht Lonestar dresses as Indiana Jones and the abundance of merchandise jokes within the movie.
The radar operator that you said sounded like someone making noises was Micheal Winslow, from Police Academy. He was like Fred Newman who did sound effects on Prairie Home Companion.
Brought to you by Mel Brooks starring Bill Pullman as Lord Starlord in this Star Wars parody about a princess who doesn't want to be married and a duo of delivery guys who go on a quest to pay off their debt and come across a princess
Great reaction! Such a crazy movie. Your faces you made when certain jokes was priceless. And the snort...... too cute. I'm looking forward to watching more movies with you Kay. Subscribed. Keep up the awesome work!
Does no one get that Joan Rivers is the voice of the Robot?
Who?
...jk
Great reaction! So happy to be seeing you laugh again! I tried watching a few ‘New Girl’ reactions, but I am just not in the demographic that that show is aimed at.
Skroob is an anagram for Brooks
16:10 - This is supposed to parody how many products they came out with that had the Star Wars name attached to them. Just about anything you can think of had the name attached to it at some point.
Fun fact: the "Hello my baby, hello my honey" song, is the first song to directly reference the telephone
The backstory between Loan Star and Dark Helmet will probably be covered in Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money.
10:36 - the new Tesla Model S!! ;)
12:42 Today I found out there’s 14 Rocky movies on the third shelf. Also the top shelf has 3 more copies of Spaceballs the movie.
Bill Pullman was in one of my favorite romantic comedies, too: The Serpent and the Rainbow.
Woah 😅
G'day Kay love your giggle snorts , the world needs more parody shows like SpaceBalls 🙂⚽🙃
Thank you for this trip down nostalgia lane! Your reactions were so fun!
When the ship passes by in the beginning, it's so big that the music literally can't keep up with it.
YES THIS MOVIE WAS IN THE 80's 1987
God willing we'll all see each other again in the sequel, Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money.
This is amazing you made my bus ride livable! Liked and subscribed!
LMAO!!! I love this movie, so glad you watched it! I don't know to much trivia about this movie other than Mel Brooks had to ask permission from George Lucas himself about using some of the references from STAR WARS, Lucas allowed him only on the condition of no merchandising! so that whole scene when Yogurt is showing off all the merchandise, it was a spoof of it's own in a way! but Lucas allowed his company ILM to do all the space effects and postproduction! you definitely do need to check out the ALIEN movies, they're awesome! this movie is a classic and I love it, seeing you laugh at this makes me smile lol! loved this reaction Kay, keep it up! really quick #kayrequests you really need to check out TREMORS, that movie is so good! take care and can't wait to see the next movie reaction😁😁😁
