LOL, they got the actual guy from the alien movie. It just makes it so much funnier as a parody film. Now these days parody films are just.... really bad.
I appreciate how John Hurt agreed to do another chest bursting scene like this for the sake of parody. He was truly one of the greatest actors ever! R.I.P. John Hurt.
What makes this extra funny is that john hurt (the guy who says "not again") was the actor who had the chest-burster in the actual Alien film. THAT is how you parody a film!
@@WujekFu They all resemble the Nostromo crew in some way or another, especially the woman who looks like Ripley. In the back is Brett and on the right is Ash.
@@sha11235 Yeah Mel Brooks directed or produced The Elephant Man and one other dramatic movie, but used a different alias so people didn't know it was him, so people could take it seriously.
I also love how nonchallantly the waitress said "Oh he had the special" like there was nothing at all wrong with it while it was literally killing a guy!
procip Definitely not from Digital Paintball, lol. It's a reference to Alien, he's the same actor that got chestbursted in the original movie hence "not again", it has nothing to do with that shitty game.
Sir John Hurt being in this just shows to show what an amazing guy he was, I still cry sometimes that he is gone! So many great rolls, but one of your last will always resonate with me. You are missed, weary, sad, disheartened (but still quick with a quip) War Doctor!
"Not again" I'm guessing someone found his body after it was jettisoned out into space in the movie 'Alien' and resurrected him. However, what they didn't know is that the alien has a twin brother that was not born yet...
Mel Brooks is going to outlive us all, I hope. The butter slipped off his noodle long ago, and I love the man for it. Irreverent as it gets, and utterly brilliant. And how cool was John Hurt? One of the truly great performers of the Twentieth Century, and yet he didn't take himself too seriously. Director David Lynch called him the greatest actor in the world, and I wouldn't argue with him. RIP, Sir John.
I once heard of a guy who committed suicide with a screwdriver to the neck in a sandwich shop. On the CCTV, you can see the other guy gesturing for his food, anyway. True story. Lol
"Hello, my baby Hello, my honey... Hello, my ragtime gal... Send me a kiss by wire... Baby, my heart's on fire...! If you refuse me... Honey, you'll lose me... Then you'll be left alone... Oh baby, telephone... And tell me I'm your own...".
I see the campiness in this scene but did Mel B borrow that song from that looney tune cartoon with that ' secretive ' dancing and singing frig from eons ago? Cause it sure looks like it!
I was watching Alien for the first time today and I was like "wait, that guy from Spaceballs is in this???" Lol I had no idea they got the same guy to do this scene. Makes it even funnier.
I just watched Alien for the 1st time and all I can think was this music in Alien. Thank You Spaceballs for making me during a horror film. Rest In Peace John Hurt.
Wut?? No, this was a parody of a cartoon with a singing frog. It only sings for the guy who found him and tries to get rich off of him...Michigan J. Frog. Have a Google :) this is the song he sang
Now, to be fair, if an alien parasite can perform a barbershop quartet solo right after chestbursting, then we are seriously doomed! Last think we need is some dancing alien trolling us.
@@aroojkazmi2871 the mini-xenomorph would never stand a chance. He's based on the frog from "One Froggy Evening" and we all know what Baby Yoda's trademark favorite food is...
Actually - thinking about it .. ... if you never saw Alien, then this would be very unfunny and very bizarre. And loads of people these days probably have never heard of Alien and its famous scene.
I just like to imagine someone watching this before ever having seen Alien and of course not getting it. Then that person watches Alien, and while everyone else is scared shitless, they would just Start laughing out loud after finally getting it
@@HAL-vm3wn It's kind of true. I watched Spaceballs first and I didn't get it. Today I watched Alien and it that scene was really funny (but not entirely because of Spaceballs). The little alien was just so cute and when it run away I couldn't stop laughing.
Fun fact: the waitress that tells John Candy to watch his tail, is the same actress in The Running Man, as Amy... The woman buying the $6 dollar soda smoking a cigarette when Arnolds character walks by. Dey Young
GoredonTheDestroyer I believe you forgot about the "Instant Cassette" scenes on Spaceball One, when they tried to find Lone Star and Barf after the Ludicrous Speed. Col. Sanderz has Lord Helmet watch the movie while they look, and near the end they have the whole "When does this happen in the Movie?" bit.
sha11235 I agree. Except the Spaceballs must have stole the sheet, toilet paper, towel, and shaving cream since the Spaceballs are thieves. (They must have used the Schwartz to steal somehow when Yogurt wasn't around even though Yogurt's Schwartz is powerful than their Schwartz).
One of the funniest scenes in a LONG time. John Hurt was awesome to have done this. He's also one of the best actors that ever lived. Elephant Man, Midnight Express, The Field. Too bad he's gone.
I had to drag my sister into the room when I saw this scene. She heard me cracking up, and wanted to know what was so funny. There was absolutely NO WAY I could describe this scene!
You know in Alien after it burt out of him, they eject him into space... Looks like someone found him and he got better! Kane was dismayed to learn of the deaths of all his fellow crewmembers, especially the polite new guy Ash. He couldn't help but feel responsible for it all. Eventually he moved on and got a new job, and then 8 years after the Nostromo, THIS happens.
IKR? It's like he gets tortured and brainwashed by an evil totalitarian government in 1984, but he didn't let it get him down, he worked hard and built himself up until he becomes the *leader* of an evil totalitarian government in V for Vendetta, then he gets a bag put over his head and shot in the face. The universe just loves to keep fucking with the poor guy.
felynecomrade Well, yeah, I mean, he doesn't die here. Brooks didn't want to be that gross. The punchline is the alien singing the Michigan J. Frog song while dancing out the door.
They have to do a second part to the movie, which has a part they enter into a musical club and then they see the singer is the chestburster as an adult xenomorph
Love that John Hurt did the parody, very cool and that Mel Brooks worked in one of the best music bits from Looney Toons, just like he did in Blazing Saddles! (All of these are from Warner Brothers!)
I was like 7 when my uncle took me to see this in theaters. Absolutely hysterical, though the reference went over my head. I didn't see Alien until I was like, 12.
