10 THINGS - Spaceballs: The Version You've Never Seen

My dad said he recently read an article in which Mel Brooks said that one actor cost him a ton of money. Rick Moranis. He said he had to constantly be yelling cut on the filming because Rick was making everyone laughing so much. But he also said he was the biggest culprit for laughing so much.

Rick Moranis playing with his dolls is one of the funniest scenes ever.
Druish princesses are often attracted to money and power and I have both. Your helmet, it's so ....big!

Probably just as important as the humor of the movie is the genuine heart the movie has, in particular the chemistry between the cast. It really was capturing lightning in a bottle.

Moranis claimed in a 2013 interview that he and Brooks had discussed a potential sequel, with Moranis pitching the title Spaceballs III: The Search for Spaceballs II. However, he and Brooks were unable to structure a deal that would allow the project to move forward. In February 2015, Brooks said that he would like to make a sequel to be released after the next Star Wars film and hoped that Moranis would reprise his role. This proposed film, Brooks said, may be called Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money. However, in February 2020, Bill Pullman said during an interview with Daily Blast Live, "It's up to Mel. Ask him if he has too much money and that's why he doesn't do it."

I always loved how Prince Valium was a clear parody of the Prince Valiant comic strip. I think that's another one of those jokes that will forever be lost to time.

Spaceballs and Men in Tights should be required viewing for literally every single person on the planet.

"These are not them! You've captured their stunt doubles!"

Pizza the Hut has always reminded me of the thing that Chet was turned into in Weird Science

[rig-zag]

My favorite piece of trivia ever is that allegedly Mel Brooks started work on a sequel called *Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2* 😂
Best. Title. Ever.

Lucas had one more request. Since Lonestar was based on Han Solo, Lucas asked that Lonestar don't look like Han Solo.
So they make Indiana Jones costume instead.

[DieHardjagged]

The whole casting was just PERFECT and something like this might or will never happen again during my Lifetime.

And Galaxy Quest is the best Star Trek movie since The Undiscovered Country.

"Evil will always triumph, because good…is dumb."
One of the best lines ever uttered on film.

I figured the thing in his mouth was supposed to be his tongue.
