They actually didn't do much merchandise for the movie. That was the deal Mel Brooks made with George Lucas to get his blessing. George asked him not to sell any toys
Mel Brooks literally added all the merchandising jokes in the movie after being told he wasn't allowed to sell merch. It's meta on top of meta and makes the running merch joke that much funnier upon rewatch! Do History of the World pt. 1 next please!
I love your genuineness! You don’t feel the need to put on a personally. I almost feel like I am sitting down to watch films with a buddy rather than watching a TH-cam channel
@@RyanCarrington for a true bonkers and schlock piece of 80's sci fi I highly recommend that you react to Flash Gordon (1980), a true comic book film in every way imaginable
"Was that the same actor?" Yes. That was John Hurt CBE "simply the greatest actor in the world." He happily reprised the chestburster scene from Alien for the "Oh no, not again" joke. Keep your eye out for him ahead when you get to The Elephant Man, V for Vendetta, Contact, Snowpiercer, Hellboy, and dozens of other films. We lost him in 2017 at age 77.
@Ryan Carrington Thought you had! John Hurt played the big brother-esque dictator on the big screen (appropriate because he also starred in the 1984 1984) Memorable line delivery "I WANT THEM TO REMEMBER WHY THEY NEED US!"
George Lucas loved the idea so much, he gave Mel Brooks access to ILM (the visual effects company he created for Star Wars), that’s why the movie looks so good for a spoof movie. The condition was that they don’t sell spaceballs toys, that’s why the merchandising joke. Also, Lone Star couldn’t look like Han Solo. If you pay attention, he’s dressed like Indiana Jones. That’s Mel Brooks being very Mel Brooks.
Mel Brooks is an all time great. We are lucky to have lived in a time where we can enjoy his gift of entertainment. Also I still always say "I hear she gives good helmet" whenever a friend says something abt a hot celebrity. Lol
This was great! Everyone misses the Prince Valium joke so give yourself some credit for getting it eventually. I've seen several reactions to this movie and I think you're the only person I've seen that actually got the joke. Young Frankenstein might be Mel Brooks' best film, so I think you'll enjoy that one. Robin Hood: Men in Tights is another parody film by Brooks that you might want to watch as well. It's specifically a parody of the 1993 Kevin Costner film Robin Hood but you don't really need to have seen that to enjoy Men in Tights. You might also want to check out High Anxiety which is a parody of Alfred Hitchcock films, specifically North by Northwest which is also definitely worth watching. High Anxiety brings back Harvey Korman, Cloris Leachman, and Madeline Kahn who were all in Blazing Saddles. Can't wait to see the next reaction!
@@RyanCarrington At the end of Blazing Saddles, Dom Deluise plays the director of the big dance sequence before the cowboy fight bursts in..."Not in the face!" Cannonball Run is a lot of fun...you oughta give it a watch.
I like his role as the Pope in Johnny Dangerously. He killed it in Blazing Saddles - I wish I could do the megaphone in the ear bit when correcting people!
The merchandising bit is a nod to the fact that Mel Brooks called up George Lucas to give George a heads up that he was thinking about making a film that heavily parodies Star Wars. Lucas didn’t have a problem with it because he loves Brooks’ work, but he insisted that they don’t try and make any merch for it because it would dilute Star Wars merch. So this was fake merch as a tip of the hat to that agreement.
Mel Brooks sent a copy of the screenplay to George Lucas when he asked him about doing the parody. George gave him the OK but on the condition that he wouldn't sell any Spaceballs Merchandise after the film. That's where all that with Yogurt's store came from and you saw the Spaceballs action figures, bed sheets, toilet paper, shaving cream and the rest in the shop came from and the line about Spaceballs 2, the search for More Money.
Though it wouldn't be for a few years after this movie, the 'we ain't found shit' guy (Tim Russ) went on to be in quite a bit of Star Trek, after just losing out to LeVar Burton for TNG...
Three films written by Quentin Tarantino, but directed by different people worth reacting to: *NATURAL BORN KILLERS* *TRUE ROMANCE* *FROM DUSK TILL DAWN*
true romance is awesome i just mentioned that to him the other day too...i saw a YT video i've watched a certifiable amount of times called ENTER SANDMAN: A MOVIE VILLAINS TRIBUTE... its so bad-ass...just beautiful... and this other channel vilas sheldon 90s action tribute SABOTAGE..its even synchronized... got me in the mood to watch demolition man again
Little known fact. The Spaceball that yells "WE AIN'T FOUND SHIT!" in the scene when they're "combing" the desert is the Actor Tim Russ who played Tuvok in Star Trek years later. 😁👍
The radar guy is Michael Winslow, best known as Jones from the Police Academy movies. Mel Brooks has said in later years that he saved a lot of money on a sound effects technician by having Winslow do the radar sounds himself.
Hi Ryan, George Lucas helped Mel Brooks with his company ILM doing the SFX, and the escape pod takes are even exactly the same as in Star Wars 😉 5:30 Yes, that's Bill Pullman 9:30 The legendary Michael Winslow! If you don't know him, check out "Police Academy" or one of his stand-ups 😂 17:55 Reference to "The wizard of Oz" 18:20 George Lucas helped with the movie production but didn't want any merchandise to be made, especially action figures. That's what the "merchandise running gag" is about 😉 21:00 To my knowlege, this scene was improvised 😂 32:21 Noticed the Millenium Falcon? 😉
FUN REACTION! You had a lot of the really good stuff in the edit. George Lucas loved it. He gave Brooks permission so long as there was no merchandising to compete with his. So the merchandising became a gag throughout the film.
In the part where Dark Helmet asked for a five minute break, it is almost exactly five minutes from the time they leave that scene on Spaceball One, to the start of the next scene on the ship. Please don't ask why I know that. By the way, Happy Birthday from Newfoundland, Canada.
A couple interesting facts. The black actor on the pic in the desert is same actor who played TUVOK on Voyager. To this day still one of his favorite roles. And the nurse with the plastic surgeon is same actress in many movies. Most easily seen is the main Captain in the movie STARSHIP TROOPERS. VERY COOL
I know you can't react to every funny moment in the movie, but one of my favorites is "Whatsamatta Colonel Sandurz, chicken?" after he says "Ludicrous speed".
I know other people have said it on other videos, but your editing is a pleasant surprise and it really makes the videos that much better. Great stuff dude
Michael Winslow is the Radar guy that makes the noises of the scene with his mouth 😊 The scenes where they were walking to the Yogurt statue and when Yogurt was fading away "oh what a world" were referencing Wizard of Oz 😊😅😊
There's a fantastic 1996 John Sayles film called "Lone Star" that's well worth watching. No connection whatsoever with this movie, just the name reminded me.
The cringiness of Dark Helmet playing with his dolls is similar to the cringiness in Blazing Saddles when Hedy... I mean Hedley plays with his toy froggy in the bathtub.
Helmet being Lonestar's father#s brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate actually makes them former roommates (Lonestar's father's brother is LonestarÄs uncle, LonestarÄs uncle's nephew is Lonestar's cousin and Lonestar's cousin's cousin is Lonestar himself).
Mel Brooks asked George Lucas if he was allowed to make a spoof about Star Wars Reading the script, Lucas agreed, and even offered Mel Brooks the use of the visual effects studio that was used to make Star Wars, it's why a lot of the VFX are actually really good for a spoof movie. The only deal was: No merchandise, and he couldn't directly use any characters from Star Wars. So Mel Brooks worked the merchandise into the story itself and made the main character look like Indiana Jones instead George loved the movie when he saw it
This was the 1st reaction of yours I've listened to on headphones. Such a great experience. You do a killer job on the audio on your videos. As always keep up the great work and hope you're doing well my man!
Dude, I really appreciate this. I was moaning to my missus only a few days ago that I got annoyingly fixated on audio and spent hours trying to get it right.
You’re the only person reacting to this movie that has ever mentioned Michael Winslow almost breaking at what Rick did. Amazing how the obvious change in his tone when speaking like he’s trying to stifle a laugh goes over people’s heads. Mind many people also miss that Dark Helmet has a cock and balls for a tie 🤷🏻♂️
For another kinda different movie with Bill Pulman take the time to watch “Ruthless People “. It’s just a completely hilarious movie. I’m new to the scene so if you have done it already ok but “Robin Hood Men In Tights” is another classic Mel Brookes movie.
@@RyanCarrington Oh, don't get me started on David Lynch. One of my top-3 directors of all time. Basically you can't go wrong with any of his movies, though I have to say, his original version of "Dune" was kinda half hit, half miss, and "Inland Empire" is "to artsy to be pleasant" even for my taste. If you want to dig deeper into David Lynch, I would start with "Blue Velvet", than "Mulholland Drive" (my absolute favorite), "Wild At Heart" and "Lost Highway". Those are somehow the "classic David Lynch"-style movies. "Elephant Man" is kinda different, but a real good drama movie. "Straight Story" ist just heart-warming beautiful and shows, that Lynch can do just "straight-forward" storytelling without weird twists and turns too. And then you might be ready for "Eraserhead" - one of the films I watched, was fascinated, think it's brilliant, but never watched it again, cause it's one of the most disturbing movies I ever watched (and I watch quite a few weird movies). Oh, and you can throw in "Twin Peaks" - the TV series - any time.
You should also check out Dracula: Dead and Loving It. It has not only Brooks but also Leslie Nielsen and Harvey Korman in it. Absolutely hilarious take on the Dracula story.
I never thought about Colonel Sanders outfit does look a lot like M.Bison from Street Fighter. And to think this movie proceeded the actual arcade game by at least 5 to 6 years.
Fun fact..Mel Brooks asked George Lucas for permission to make a spoof of Star Wars…Lucas agreed as long as he didn’t dress Lone Star like Han Solo…so he dressed him like Indiana Jones 😂
You'll be delighted to know I heard the video title "What A Spoof!" in Dark Helmet's voice - particularly the tone he has whilst berating Lone Starr's gullibility in the Self Destruct room scene :P As to what he did to the danglies? Put the squeeze on em. Force Choke and all that. :P
Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein are Brooks' two masterpieces. Spaceballs and some of his other movies are sometimes fun, but you can definitely see the jokes coming -- I think a lot of the love for this movie and some others is childhood nostalgia more than the film itself. That's not to say it's not funny, but I don't think you should feel bad or anything if you felt Blazing Saddles was way better.
I'm surprise hardly anyone watches the commentary… it's on the DVD, but was part of laserdisc version they put out! Mel Brooks even mentioned the laserdisc in the commentary! As well as that he(Mel Brooks) wanted the whole movie being just the ship going across the screen! 😂😂
You should check out Mel Brooks' "Life Stinks". It is one of my favorites. It has heart and it's funny. I don't know why more people don't do a reaction to that to movie, cause it's really good.
@@jamesedwards2483 ...I know, right? I think there is only like one reaction on youtube to that movie, yet I think it is one of Mel Brooks' best...weird.
Not sure if some else said it but here it goes the merch joke is because g Lucas made most of his money from star wars off of merchandise and not actually getting a normal salary which i believe he gave up due to the movie going over budget and gave the green light to this movie based on an agreement with m brookes not to make any space balls merchandise
Nice reaction mate , If you want another 80s classic to check out , Can I suggest Big Trouble in Little China , Its a little ridiculous, it has 80s action and 80s Martial arts in it , Good old Jack Burton and the Porkchop Express
I'm only about 4 minutes into your reaction, and I'm wondering if you grew up in the mid-80's to mid-90's like I did! (I was born in 1981) You recognised Rick Moranis, and Joan Rivers. And later, John Candy and Bill Pullman would star. Also, Mel Brooks is a comedy LEGEND! I can list SO MANY movies that you could react to, although most have already been reacted to by other youtubers.
@@RyanCarrington Again, most of the ones I've seen have already been reacted to. But if you want something different, try "Dogma" (dark comedy, loosely connected to Jay & Silent Bob) or "Rat Race" (comedy) or "Valkyrie" as a war movie. None of these have been covered/reacted to very much.
They actually didn't do much merchandise for the movie. That was the deal Mel Brooks made with George Lucas to get his blessing. George asked him not to sell any toys
Oh wow! Makes sense I guess!
Especially since Lonestar looks eerily similar to Han Solo. Lol

@@johnbarry1712 As I understand it, _not_ dressing him like Han Solo was also part of the deal, so he got dressed like Indiana Jones instead!
The deal Brooks and Lucas made was no merchandising and Lonestar couldn’t look like Han in exchange for Lucas’s ok to make it and visual effects.
It's my birthday today, so I hope you left a like on the video 👀

Including olivander in Harry Potter and the voice of the Dragon kilghara in the Merlin tv series.
"Prepare for metamorphosis!"
"Ready Kafka!"
Most underrated joke in the movie.
That is one of my favorite jokes in the movie.
It usually gets cut out of reactions.
Nobody gets this joke. And that's what makes it great. It is so unbelievably obscure.

You should check out Mel Brooks' "Life Stinks". It is one of my favorites. It has heart and it's funny. I don't know why more people don't do a reaction to that to movie, cause it's really good.
Absolutely Agree!! Definitely Underrated!!
@@jamesedwards2483 ...I know, right? I think there is only like one reaction on youtube to that movie, yet I think it is one of Mel Brooks' best...weird.
Not sure if some else said it but here it goes the merch joke is because g Lucas made most of his money from star wars off of merchandise and not actually getting a normal salary which i believe he gave up due to the movie going over budget and gave the green light to this movie based on an agreement with m brookes not to make any space balls merchandise
You need Young Frankenstein in your life
Everybody does!
Happy Birthday Ryan! 🎊🎁
A cake emoji is the best I can do: 🎂🎂🎂
Enjoy your day🎉
I appreciate it, thank you!
Nice reaction mate , If you want another 80s classic to check out , Can I suggest Big Trouble in Little China , Its a little ridiculous, it has 80s action and 80s Martial arts in it , Good old Jack Burton and the Porkchop Express
Hilariously this movie had twice the budget of the first Star Wars movie
Blimey! 😂
And if look closely at parking lot at Cafe will see the Millineum Falcon there
happy bday Ryan

Try Mel Brooks Dracula Dead and Lovin It next time, awesome 👌 request 😀
Happy Birthday!
Thank you
Happy birthday 🥳

Happy Birthday
Thank you

I'm only about 4 minutes into your reaction, and I'm wondering if you grew up in the mid-80's to mid-90's like I did! (I was born in 1981)
You recognised Rick Moranis, and Joan Rivers.
And later, John Candy and Bill Pullman would star.
Also, Mel Brooks is a comedy LEGEND!
I can list SO MANY movies that you could react to, although most have already been reacted to by other youtubers.
I'm a 90s kid!
Definitely up for suggestions 🤙
@@RyanCarrington Again, most of the ones I've seen have already been reacted to.
But if you want something different, try "Dogma" (dark comedy, loosely connected to Jay & Silent Bob) or "Rat Race" (comedy) or "Valkyrie" as a war movie.
None of these have been covered/reacted to very much.
I'm rather surprised you haven't seen this one. It seems right up your street.
Have a wonderful day all, and May the Schwartz Be With You!
I'm such Mel Brooks noob!
@@RyanCarrington Perfect! That means you have several more hours of laughs ahead of you.
I love it ❤happy birthday to you brother
Thanks bro!
This was one movie that shouldn't have been as prominent in my childhood.
Now you need to watch Galaxy Quest!
Yes, definitely!
I just found your channel love it I'm going to subscribe on the basis alone you knew who Joan Rivers voice was you rock like Elvis.
Appreciate it, man! 👊
