*First Time Watching* SPACEBALLS (1987) and I Couldn’t Stop Laughing | Movie Reaction 

The actor who made all of those wonderful noises is Michael Winslow, a one of a kind voice actor, who calls himself a "Voice instrumentalist". He is truly one of a kind, and able to make almost any sound you can think of and is quite a ventriloquist. He is a true talent, and played a big role in the Police Academy series. He also does stand up performances so check him out.

George Lucas assured Mel that he wouldn't sue no matter what the gags - but he wouldn't give him permisson to sell merchanside. That's why there's an in-movie joke about Yoghurts Merch Store.

"Before you die there is something you should know about us, Lone Starr." "What?" "I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate." "What's that make us?" "Absolutely NOTHING!" Fun Fact: During his scene, Michael Winslow did most of the sound effects. In the DVD audio commentary for the movie, Mel Brooks jokes that they saved around $1,000 by letting him do this. Doll Balls Fact: The scene in which Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) is playing with his dolls was not in the screenplay. Writer, producer, and director Mel Brooks came up with the idea on the set one day and told this to Rick Moranis, who then improvised the entire scene. Star Wars Cameo Fact: The Millennium Falcon from the Star Wars saga makes a cameo appearance in this movie. Take a close look at the exterior shot of the Space Diner, and it can be spotted parked there among the other space vehicles. George Lucas got a chance to read the screenplay before production began, and loved it so much that he decided to have his special effects company, Industrial Light & Magic, help make this movie.

Every time you ask "WHY???", you are at the same time providing the answer. You are laughing.

So two things. One, George Lukas LOVED this movie. He was giving the script to look over before they made it and he even gave permission for a very very brief cameo. Right before the diner scene in the parking lot, if you look closely, the Millennium Falcon is parked. Second, while Lukas loved the script, the merchandising company played hardball. They only allowed the movie to be made on the condition that they could not make ANY merchandise. That cause two changed in the movie 1. the merchandise scene and the name of the 'force' parallel. You see, the company that made those rules was the *Schwartz* merchandise company.

08:23 Behold, Michael Winslow! King of Beatboxing, Master of Noises! A living, breathing legend! He rocked Police Academy the same way he rocked it in every other movie he ever took part in and every single time he appeared live on stage!

"Is it like Voltron?" I immediately fell in love with this woman.

Fun fact! The guy who said "we ain't found shit", happens to be Tim Russ. The same actor who portrayed Tuvok on Star Trek Voyager.

Those shoulder pads would make a romulan blush. and 'evil will always triumph because good is dumb' should be the official motto of the sith empire

In case you didn’t catch it, Chapter 11 is a bankruptcy filing. Since they didn’t make _Spaceballs 2: The Search For More Money,_ the third movie would have to be _Spaceballs 3: The Search For Spaceballs 2._ 😄 George Lucas declared this movie a “dangerous comedy” because he laughed so hard, he feared he might break something.

Tim Russ' "we ain't found sh*t!!" holding a massive afro comb will never not be a classic line that has me laughing no matter how many times I see it 😂

By the way, Mel Brooks played, "Yogurt" and also the guy in the suit who's head got beamed backwards and was in the bed with the girls and the book.

I was born in 82. Spaceballs and Howard the duck are the first two movies I remember. I didnt know it was a parody of star wars until i was 10+

I'll be honest, I would TOTALLY buy Spaceballs the toilet paper if it existed

Another fantastic comedy/parody movie with laughs throughout is Airplane. Over 40 years old and still a timeless comedy today.

I had so much fun! My face hurts from smiling! I love your reactions to ALL of this and i love that no reference got by you. Again a A++++ can't wait for the next one!

The only reason Mel Brooks got permission to make this movie was because Mel had to promise not to make and sell merchandise of SpaceBalls. The one running gag thru the movie. Was the Prince Valium. Valium is a depressant drug that makes you tired.(sleepy). Thanks for the review.

People who have you as a friend are blessed. Even remotely, I really enjoy watching movies with you.

Took me years before I noticed Dark Helmet was wearing a Windsor tie😂

@4:09 “Girl, I’m so sorry for you” is the best reaction to seeing Jim J. Bullock as Prince Valium ever.

That was terrific! Not only did you get a lot of laughs, YOU GOT ALL THE JOKES AND REFERENCES!!! Well, there IS one that needs a little explanation: Valium is a depressant/sleep medicine. Hence the prince was always drowsy. It was a popular drug back then. The visuals for him are taken from Prince Valiant of the comics. All way before your time.

You'll also like Robinhood Men In Tights, Blazing Saddles, And Clue.

This was the best reaction for Spaceballs I have ever watched. Too many times the fans tell reactors to which this movie but never say “watch star wars, watch planet of the apes, alien, etc. first.” So the reactors get none of those gags - very disappointing. You maybe missed the Snotty star trek reference, but you got the rest of them - pizza the hut, Im your uncle’s cousin’s brother’s etc., planet of the apes, alien, etc. The BEST reaction ever to this movie🖖

I never thought of Dark Helmet as a Fisher Price toy until you mentioned it lol

14:13 one of the 'dinks' is Tony Cox from Bad Santa and Me Myself and Irene. 16:17 Tim Russ who played Tuvok on Star Trek Voyager.

A mel Brooks classic and a fun reaction. Thanks for sharing

Radar guy ... Michael winlsow is in the Police Academy movies doing sounds

the voice actor is the man, the myth, he godly legend michael winslow. fun fact or 2, pizza the hut is made of real pizza and the inside was so hot from the heat fans, that the actor nearly died. one of the conditions to get approval to make this movie from lucas was that brooks couldnt make any merch, hence the running gag.

crazy fact! The Spinners did that spaceballs theme song during the self destruct sequence! whenever you call me, i'll be there, i'll be around~ WORKIN MY WAY BACK TO YOU BABE those guys. i have no idea how they got them.

I'm glad you noticed the guy sitting down during the asshole bit. Many reactors don't notice.

OMG, your laugh is so delightful and infectious.

A reactionist with actual movie knowledge who gets almost every reference? Sign me up. She even caught John Hurt's cameo. Something most reactors never catch.

I remember, many years ago, this showed at the cinemas along with Superman 4: The quest for peace.

In the directors commentary on the DVD, Mel Brooks joked that he originally wanted the whole movie to be the opening shot of Spaceball One that *never* ended, two hours until we got to the engine cluster and “We Brake for Nobody”

This movie is brilliant humor from start to finish!

As young as you are.. you have an appreciation far beyond your years. Bless the environment you were raised to understand ❤😂

18:02 the ocean 😂 Almost 40 years of watching this and, of all the gags, i never realized how long that pi$$ was😂😂

Yes please

Loved this reaction! Such an iconic film. The Schwartz is strong with you!

To parody Star Wars, Steven Speilberg made Mel Brooks promise a couple things. (1) No Spaceballs merchandise - which is why there's so much of it IN the movie. (2) Lone Star couldn't be dressed like Han Solo - so Brooks dressed him like another Harrison Ford Character, Indiana Jones.

Fun fact. When Mel Brooks talked with George Lucas about this parody, Lucas agreed to it, but Brooks was not allowed to sell merchandise from the movie (hence the Spaceballs Merchandise skit) and Lone Star was not allowed to resemble Han Solo, so Brooks had him dress as Indiana Jones instead. Both of these, Lucas actually thought were hilarious loopholes.

According to what I'm hearing Amazon is working on Spaceballs 2 with Josh Gad. Ever since Top Gun Maverick broke records everybody is making sequels 30 years later. There's even a Beetlejuice sequel in the works.

"Now you see evil will always triumph because good is dumb!"

You are the best! You recognized EVERY reference used and your knowledge is amazing. You're my new fave!

9:17 4th wall Mel: what is this 4th wall you speak of 🤔 sounds like something that needs to be demolished 🤭

18:58 Star wars like to include a secret, hidden, base. So Spaceballs added a secret hidden bass😅

I am so glad that you watched this. Such a funny classic.

The complicated explanation of who he is to lone star when all it ends up as is Lone stars cousins former roommate.

Watch these Comedies: It's Hard Not to Love Mrs. Doubtfire ,The Ringer, Date Night, Gabriel Iglesias: Stadium Fluffy , Jo Koy : Don't Make Him Angry , The 40-Year-Old Virgin , You Don't Mess with the Zohan

The sleepy prince is called Prince Valium because of the effects of the pill "valium".

That was a great reaction

great reaction😀

Girl! You laughed, you had a good time and you enjoyed the flick! #MissionAccomplished :)

Snotty is a parody of a popular Star Trek character Scotty. Another franchise to look forward to checking out. I'd recommend you start with the JJ Abrams trilogy to start. The older movies are better if you watch the TV shows that inspired them and are a bigger commitment. The newest trilogy does a good job filling you in without the TV series.

The prince's name is Prince Valium, so no surprise he is quite sleepy.

@Kahlareacts their is a sort of continuation for Spaceballs they made a animated series back in 2008. Each episode parodies something different.

SpaceBalls is one of the best spoof movies and my favorite Mel Brooks movie. I think the Aliens Looney Tunes moment is my favorite joke in the movie. I think every joke in Spaceballs hits, and it's pretty much everything you'd want in a parody of Star Wars. I'd highly recommend checking out Mel Brooks other comedies, Blazing Saddles and History of the World, Part I. I would recommend his best comedy, Young Frankenstein, too, but I think you should check out the Universal Horror Frankenstein trilogy first. Those movies are Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, and Son of Frankenstein. I say that because Young Frankenstein is a love letter to the Frankenstein trilogy and contains a lot of jokes and references to them.

Mel Brooks films are always great and hilarious!

Great reaction as always! This movie is a freaking gem!

Perfect reaction 🤣🤣💖

Lol funny spoof movie

Definitely checking out more of this channel

In case you didn’t know that black guy with the white helmet that was making all those weird noises with his mouth was and the movie police Academy and he was hilarious there too

Police Academy is funny too!

Im so glad you watched this movie!!!

loved the reaction.

I don't know how many Mel Brooks movies you've seen, but Blazing Saddles, History of the World Part I, Young Frankenstein, and Robin Hood: Men in Tights are all good ones.

Dotmatrix is a voiced by commedianne Joan Rivers (can we talk? fame). but was physically portray by Lorene Yarnell a mime artist famous with Shields and Yarnell. Dotmatrix is an old style type of a computer printer (before laser printrs and before inkjet printers). Also parody C3PO. all the movies cassettes seen in the desert search scene are all Mel Brooks movies. Mel Brooks has toyed with the idea of a sequel since the last star wars triology came out. There was a short lived animated series Spaceballs: The Animated Series. it ran for 1 season on the Super Channel G mostly in Canada. But some of episodes appeared in the US on the Cartoon network (I Think) The man who does the sounds, Michael Winslow, Also did some of the sound effects in the movie. Mel claims he save a lot of money by using Michael Winslow instead hiring an entire sfx (sound effects) team. John Hurt, Cain from Alien, makes a cameo. Mel initially approached John to make a cameo but did not tell him he was going to the chest bursting scene. When John arrived on set, he was tottally surprised at what they wanted to do. John has stated thatif he had known that, he may have turned down Mel.

18:10 This is what I thought of, when I was watching the TV show F.R.I.E.N.D.S and they have a flashback, and show Rachel's old nose. 😮

The Yogurt doll in the merch scene just went up for auction

Hi, I met Michael Winslow. Spent several hrs very nice man.

Another goofy, ridiculous comedy movie I'd recommend is Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It's a comedy about King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table on a holy quest for the Holy Grail, the cup that held the blood of Jesus Christ. Monty Python and the Holy Grail makes fun of every aspect of the King Arthur legends. It's also bonkers in the best of ways and absolutely hilarious. It's even crazier than SpaceBalls. Definitley worth a watch if you haven't seen it 🙂

The "we ain't found shit" trooper is Tuvok from star trek voyager.

So many points, so many stops, so many =X-D =X-D =X-D!!! Kahla, your reaction made my day! Thank you and may the schwartz be with you! =8-D

I'm also a nerd for John Williams scores. Jurassic Park was great as well as Stae Wars

this is the only movie that will make me cut pizza off whenever they show pizza the hut

The funny thing is, they made a reference to spaceball sequel but they never made a sequel to this movie. They must’ve planned on it, but they never did.

I don't even like this movie. I'm just watching it because you crack me up! 😂

May I suggest "Blazing Saddles," "Young Frankenstein" and "Robin Hood: Men in Tights?"

The Twelve Chairs is also good.

If you liked the guy who makes noises with his mouth, you'll find more of him in "Police Academy" (the first movie, mainly)

If you love quick wit, you need to watch the Three Amigos. One of my favorites!

"Spaceballs": On the surface, a "Space Opera" spoof, in detail, turning "Star Wars" on it's head! (Approved by George Lucas!) I was feeling a bit down when I chose this reaction. I feel much better; Mel Brooks never fails to deliver laughs.;) 17:23 Years later, Alan Tudyk as "Wash Washburn" in "Firefly" did this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yHPvOeahQnc.html

Barfolomew!

I forgot how trippy this game is

Hear no Evil see no Evil!!!

Give up the air shield combination and doom the planet to save Vespa's sweet 16 present, or resist and sacrifice Vespa's new nose. Damn that's a tough decision

CHAPTER 11: the movie went straight into bankruptcy.

Pew Pew.

I never realized they put the stunt double back in at the battle with Dark Helmet...

If you want a laugh the guy making the sound effects in that opening scene was made popular in the police academy movies

Barf is from Planet Mog.

If you like "Spaceballs The Movie", and I would say you did, you will like these other movies by Mr. Mel Brooks, who at over 90 years old is still alive as I am writing this, "Blazing Saddles", "Young Frankenstein" and "High Anxiety". He has more, but start with these. They are all funny, and they are all different. "Blazing Saddles" was made to show the idiocy of racism, and the idiocy of those who are racist, among other things. All done with laughs and satire. Comedian Richard Pryor was one of the script writers, so... .

Dear Ghandi (The God of War), I love the work of Mel Brooks.

8:23 - You really need to see Police Academy.

So intelligent and beautiful. You didn't miss a thing. You need much more subscribers.

Double like, when this came out we had not seen Jabba The Hut.

5:39 🍕 the hutt is much nastier than Jabba the Hutt. 😂

You mentioned the Transformers. Have you seen that franchise? The first 2 maybe 3 depending on how much you enjoy the first one are pretty good. Also there's a spin-off Bumblebee movie that was also really good.

Speaking of Star Wars, bring on the Rogue One!
