@@wp2837 considering sports similar to basketball, football, and soccer exist as well as video games and I think even TV shows it’s safe to assume that movies exist as well.
@hadouken Well, this movie did advertise a lot of "Spaceballs" related things that could be sold in stores but, since this is an old movie, nothing like that could be sold in stores. Some of the things that were advertised to be bought in stores as seen in Yogurt's chamber was a t-shirt, a coloring book, a lunchbox, breakfast cereal, a flamethrower, and a doll of Yogurt. Plus, other "Spaceballs" related things seen around the movie were a bed sheet, shaving cream, and a placemat.
afriendofbean The reason they did that was because George Lucas not only gave them his blessing to do the movie but George Lucas’s company helped them with all the special effects with the condition that they don’t sell any merchandise for the movie because it would be too similar to Star Wars merchandise.
@@troll4life662 I didn't know about that but, maybe since all that merchandise was sold in stores back then, maybe after the end credits, Yogurt could have said to the camera something like "hi folks it's me Yogurt, if you ever want to have a "Spaceballs" t-shirt, coloring book, lunchbox, breakfast cereal, toy flamethrower, or a Yogurt doll of me, call this "1-800" number and if you purchase three of these merchandises, you will get a choice of a free "Spaceballs" bed sheet, shaving cream, or placemat. So call now before offer expires and may the Schwartz be with you."
@@troll4life662 Well, I know that Amazon sells "Spaceballs The T-Shirt" and "Spaceballs The Coloring Book." However, it still would have been great if Yogurt made an announcement about these merchandises on how they can be ordered through a "1-800" number since the moment when Lonestar, Barf, Princess Vespa, and Dot met Yogurt in person, Barf asked what Yogurt does in that chamber and Yogurt says that he does merchandising.
My teacher showed us Dodgeball in the first grade, and I was genuinely shocked that people didn’t think it was appropriate for kids Teachers were cool back then
If you think about it, "Father's brother's nephew's cousin" would just be Lone Star's cousin. A cousin is simply the child of one of your parents' siblings. So no matter how you spin it, Dark Helmet was the former roommate of one of Lone Star's cousins.
"I am your fathers, brothers, nephews, cousins former roommate." Narrowing it down, Lonestars cousin was helmets former roommate. If Fathers, Brothers, Nephew can mean brother or cousin, then his cousin. Either way ending with them being cousins in some regard. So put simply, "I am your cousins former roommate."
@@vanndymaywho1910 What? You expect JJ Abrams do world building? That sounds like a lot of work. He'd rather give you a bunch of "mystery boxes" and let the next director take the heat for not answering them.
Family was rewatching Star Wars trilogies, got though Prequels and Main Trilogy, then watched this. Didn’t get to watch the Sequel trilogy because Halloween
It’d be funny to hear “ Luke… I… Am…. your mother’s father sister cousin nephew’s brother in law’s wife cousins dad’s brother twice removed uncle’s brother’s uncle ‘s great grandfathers fathers dad great great great granddaughters cousin uncles nephew’s roommate” in Star Wars.
@@christiana5453 oh, they tried to cancel him already because of his movie "Blazing Saddles"... Which imo was one of his greatest works of all time. It was pulled from Netflix because people got offended by the humor. Then people tried to Cancel Mel. But today, if anyone tried to replicate Mel's humor, they would be tarred and feathered by the public. Comedies with tons of off-color and homosexual humor would get shut down immediately by the younger generations.
@@christiana5453 To be a bit more specific, Blazing Saddles has the N bomb in it too many times to count. It is used in extremely racist ways, to make racists look stupid. Mel Brooks stance that if something is obviously a joke, you can take it as far as you want.
@@quantum_chezburger2279 they probably though like a lot of people that this movie released a few years ago, but I was essentially letting them know that it’s been out loong before Kylo Ren was even a character in Starwars that’s all I was implying
George Lucas asked Mel Brooks in a letter that no merchandise of the spaceballs movie was ever sold, so people couldn't mistake his merchandise with theirs, that's why.
The only requirement the owners of the Star Wars franchise had on this was that no merchandise could be sold. Otherwise they were all for it, were very entertained.
@@pwnmeisterage I feel like a regular FDM 3D printer wouldn't have enough fine-detail quality for a LEGO-size figure. Sounds like a job for an SLA resin machine...
funny story, my grandma bought this for me thinking it was the new hip craze "star wars" everyone was talking about. so i grew up thinking this was the real star wars
@@Iepisto yeah. My parents hated me too. I had to walk 2 and a half miles to get to the library . School computers were just as impossible to get to because I had to prove scholastic intent . Computers from both venues had a built in timer. I should consider myself lucky. Bill Gates had to pay to use such school computers back then.
@@BMM44KalmarHufflepuff given that the fathers brothers nephew would either still be his fathers nephew due to another sibling or just his own child, that being lord star, they are actually a little less than nothing
So, couldn't that actually mean Helmet and Lonestar were former roommates? Father's brother = uncle Uncle's nephew could = Lonestar OR Lonestar's cousin Lonestar's cousin's cousin could again = Lonestar, so... Dark Helmet is Lonestar's former roommate.
"also for some reason even after like 500 years the planet is still radioactive and civilization still has houses made out from trash it's almost like someone is milking this franchise"
@@Ashelybee Logically and Scientifically speaking, it WOULD take over 500 years after a Nuclear apocolypse for Humanity to rebuild. Have you ever TRIED to get us Americans to work together? It would take over 1,000 years
@@taylorstratford9717 i doubt that after ww2 basically all of germany was in ruins. then a few decades later and everything is working again dispite having lost half a generation in the war and there basically beiong no more industrie. i mean it is arguably still in better shape then if there had been a nuclear apocalypse and there was much financial aid from america but still 100 years should be enough to have a somewhat decent living situation especially as it isnt all that hard to make cement.
@@sergeantsharkseant It is mostly a matter of lost knowledge. Libraries, databases, universities... All gone in a flash. So much of what people 'know' these days doesn't really exist in anyone's head.
Seriously? Look, most of the time I can just let the sequel hate wash over me, but they spend half the fight repeating the same two moves. Just compare that to the throne room scene in TLJ. There’s a *lot* you can hate on the sequels for, but I will not stand for hate on the fight choreography
@@aionicthunder You mean the same scene where the fight choreography of one of the Guards is literally dropping his weapon before moving closer to get killed by Kylo and Rey? 11/10 choreography right there.
I hope the actors had as much fun making these scenes as it seems, you can tell a lot of love went into this movie. And still a more faithful adaptation of Star Wars than the sequel trilogy
SJW trilogy is too shit to even be worth mocking. Better to just consider it not star wars at all... the prequels have given us endless meme material and become beloved over time. The opposite will happen with the sequels and their leftist propaganda.
I really really wish we saw today's movie have this kind of humor. It's truly a league of it's own. We see many dumb characters in modern comedies screaming, acting over the top. But these old movies have intelligent humor that can take something so stupid, and actually use it well in the setting. Also can we appreciate the music in this movie? It's actually quite fantastic.
Because it had a pretty large budget which was bigger than ANH and they had hope with the special effects from the same people who did the special effects for ANH.
"What does that make us" "Absolutely nothing wich is what u are about to become" This is most terrifyingly funnily straight on point type of talking that I've ever heard so far
I need a mist of how many references there are in this. I'll start Star wars, the most important. Star trek (teleportation) Guardians of the galaxy (maybe, for lone star/star lord, or is it just a parody of Solo?) Alien (near the end) Planet of the apes/Legend of the monkey king (near the end) Rambo (for a scene) anything else?
Honestly that’s kinda a badass line. “I am your fathers brothers nephews cousins former roommate” “and what does that make us” “ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! WHICH IS WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO BECOME” This movie is a masterpiece
As a child, i've atleast watched this movie 20+ times and it never got old. This movie will always be in my memories and won't be forgotten any time soon. Best parody movie ever made
They should make a Spaceballs sequel making fun of modern sequels and call it "Spaceballs episode 2: 'The search for Mo' Money'" where the Spaceballs are searching for a character named Mo to help finance their poor business ventures. The cast of characters would be satires of the modern Disney characters and the poor writing behind them.
So….. RU-vid has chosen, you, you are the chosen one of the month! May the recommended page be with you! And may the Schwartz be with you more! And so on and so forth.
Since Dark Helmet played by Rick Moranis is a parody of Darth Vader, the weird and different things between Dark Helmet and Darth Vader was that Darth Vader never pulled off or took off his mask as much (only one time on "The Empire Strikes Back" and one time before he died on "Return Of The Jedi") but Rick Moranis pushes up his mask a lot seen at 2:26.
@@megaman37456 Absolutely yes. You thing CGI there was good? No matter how well choreographed the duel between Anakin and Obi Wan was, those flashy effects make my eyes hurt
Mel Brooks reached out to George Lucas to make sure he was cool with the parody and was told he was, provided Lonestar wasn't dressed like Han Solo. Brooks said okay . . . . . . and dressed him like Indiana Jones instead. Minus the hat.
Fun Fact: When the producers asked George Lucas if they could parody Star Wars, he agreed but on one condition: Lone Star couldn't look like Han Solo. So they based him off of Indiana Jones instead.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Dark Helmet The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Dark Helmet was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could defeat cameramen.
