    On an additional note, Mel Brooks did plan on a sequel to this, but Rick Moranis's wife died, and he took a long break from acting. Moranis would have returned for the sequel anyway, but his asking price was higher than the studio was willing to go (He wanted a payday high enough to provide great opportunities for his kids in his absence). The sequel was to be called Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2, and it would have leaned harder on Star Trek than Star Wars.

    Fun fact - if you ever watch the director's cut with full commentary from Mel Brooks, he mentions the idea for Mr. Coffee came from him filming movie AFTER movie and having to reshoot scenes when people would notice a styrofoam cup lying around on the set. So he wrote the joke in and early in the movie so that if they shot any scenes and there was a cup lying around they wouldn't have to reshoot it all because of a stupid cup.

    A piece of trivia about the movie ...When Mel Brooks approached George Lucas about making this movie, Lucas had a couple of stipulations ... One of them was, the characters in the Spaceballs movie could not look exactly like the Star Wars characters ... So, Mel Brooks dressed Lone Star as Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford's other iconic role).

    "I knew it I'm surrounded by assholes!" 13 year old me was on the ground laughing for several minutes at that joke. Still the funniest part of the movie. Mel Brooks went to George Lucas to get his blessing to do this movie. His only condition was no merchandising as spaceballs action figures would be too close to star wars. Mel had no plans to do any merchandising but that condition gave him the idea to make it a gag in the movie. By all accounts George Lucas loved the movie. Rick Moranis ad-libbed the scene playing with the dolls. They were part of the merchandising gag and just grabbed them and he did that.

    High Anxiety is one of my favorite Mel Brooks movies for the simple reason that it is one of his only movies where Mel himself plays the lead. Can't recommend it enough.

    • @melenatorr
      @melenatorr ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The problem with "High Anxiety" is that you really need to know your Hitchcock to get what's going on: the first time I saw it I hadn't seen anything other than "Psycho" and the "The Birds". "High Anxiety" came off as dull and nonsensical. After seeing a few Hitchcock movies, I got it and thought it was really, really funny and also well done.
      I like the original "Producers": it's clean, spare and wastes very little time in getting us from one point to another; the script and the priceless cast sell themselves deftly and with dry, dark humor. The re-make is wonderful but, I think, overdone; and whether or not he's dated, LSD from the original is part of what completes things, and not having him in the newer version unmakes things for me a bit.

It's just a voice he does. 😂 Also, the guy who plays King Roland is Dick Van Patten, who was a big comedic actor in the old days. One of my favorite moments in this film, which I didn't even catch the first time (you may have noticed while editing), is when they're reading back the combination to the air shield and he's just staring at the camera and nodding, but he almost loses it. You can tell he wants to laugh so bad, and it always makes me wonder about the takes they didn't use. This movie is VERY funny, but I still think I prefer Young Frankenstein (which also stars Gene Wilder btw).

      Hahaha the language in Blazing Saddles was a bit jarring for me at first because I wasn't prepared, but I still LOVED IT

    I would put in a vote for “The Producers” (1967). It also stars Gene Wilder and the incomparable Zero Mostel. This is my absolute favourite Mel Brooks film. I am sure you will also like the 2005 musical remake with Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane, but I recommend starting with the original.

    Bless your heart, if this is your first Mel Brooks' movie, you're not just getting ready to go down a rabbit hole but you're getting ready to get into all of Wonderland. Even the movies that are not thought of as being too great are still hilaious. When making the deal with Lucas, he said Mel couldn't use a Han Solo look-a-like, so Mel made him look like Indiana Jones. You're the first "young-un" I've seen react to get get most of the referreces, well done. Others have listed the movies to watch, so I won't repeat them.

    The best reaction. The part to justify Mel Brooks was awesome. Greetings from Brazil. You're such a treat!

    You're understanding is so refreshing, if you're this genuine in person then I believe there's hope for this world after all.

    Everyone says that Blazing Saddles is their favorite Mell Brooks movies, but "History of the World Part 1" is an awesome movie that doesn't get enough attention. I REALLY REALLY hope you watch!!! Thanka for listening to me rant😂❤

    Well, if you want to go down the Mel Brooks rabbit-hole, Young Frankenstein is perfect as Halloween is coming up.

    My favorite movies of Brooks' as a kid were Robin Hood Men in Tights and Dracula: Dead and Loving It; both are a bit less beloved by the overall collection of Brooks' fans but they still have a huge rewatchability and nostalgia factor for me and parodied stories/movies I was really familiar with when I was younger. As an adult I absolutely prefer Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein but honestly I don't think there's a single dud among his movies.

    Comedy is about timing. The beginning is an example of a masterpiece of timing, when the spaceship just goes on and on and on. I first watched this as movie theater and everyone was in stiches.

    You should've added that scene that was referenced at the 15:55 mark. That scene involving the video cassette is really funny to watch and one that will make anyone stumble.

    First time watching your movie reaction. The thumbnail and the subject drew me in. You are very entertaining to rewatch this with and I enjoyed your reactions... and your timing! The "good thing he was wearing that helmet" and Indiana Jones and other references that you got right before they were revealed were amazing, and then when you talked about not knowing Brooks at the credits he gives you the fist up to scold you for it! Too funny.🤣

    YAS Kween! Miranda I love you! This is one of my favorite Mel Brooks films and I am so glad that you enjoyed it. I also wanted to give you a heads up... as of June 18th 2024 Spaceballs 2 has been officially announced and is in development. No word yet on whether or not, Rick Moranis will return.

    11:40 that is Michael Winslow a very talented actor and commedian who also can do just about any sound effect he puts his mind to. If you want to see him playing a role where he basically never stops doing the sound effects, watch the Police Academy movies. He is in most of them.
    Also 14:12 if you ever watch it again, when Dark Helmet says take a 5 min break. Take notice of the time of the movie that has progressed. It will be exactly 5 minutes to the second before you see the Spaceballs in Spaceball 1 ship again.
    22:57 The only movie I know this guy from for sure is as the Insurance salesman from Groundhog Day, his name is Stephen Tobolowsky. He is the character that always meets Bill Murray's character right after he steps in the freezing puddle of water.

    Absolutely loved your reaction! Blazing Saddles was always my favorite, but all of them are hilarious and fantastic comedies. This movie has some of the greatest comedic moments in history thanks to Rick Moranis' Dark Helmet.
