You also left out that Brooks credits Michael Winslow, who played the radar operator in the movie, with saving him a ton of money by doing the sound effects himself.
If they do make a sequel, I really like the idea of it being titled Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2 Can be a spoof of how the whole 9 movie series was made out of order and can address why some characters are no longer there (if they even want to do that).
Spaceballs does NOT need a sequel, especially with several members of the cast no longer with us. It didn't need an animated TV series either, but we got it anyway.
Another thing: one of the stipulations that George Lucas had was that Lonestar was not dressed like Han Solo. So Mel Brooks dressed him like Indiana Jones.
Folks, in the airline pilot world, we quote lines from this and the Airplane movies daily..... "Billy, have you ever seen a grown man naked?" Of course, never with an actual child in the cockpit.
@Barnaclebeard booo, your comment is lame and useless. Scary Movie gets sequels because new horror flicks need ripped off. Nobody cares about the new Starwars movies enough to think the parody needs a sequel.
Thanks for this one! Spaceballs is one of Mel Brooks' funniest parodies, where Nothing, not Star Wars, not Star Trek, not Planet of the Apes, or even Transformers: the Movie, was sacred. Even the G. I. Joe Defiant Shuttle Complex got in on the act. So many scenes to appreciate- my three faves are: 1. Capt. Lone Starr (a play on both Han Solo and Filmation's Bravestarr): "The first thing we do is we Drop the matching luggage!" 2. Dark Helmet: "You IDIOTS! You captured their STUNT Doubles!" 3. Colonel Sandurz: "No, Sir! I did not see you playing with your toys again, Sir!"
Knew most of these except for the fact that SB2 is currently in production. Like, ACTUALLY in production. I'd heard rumors for over 30 years of course, but this time it's not just an empty rumor. Details are sparse but it is being bankrolled by Amazon.
It's not that he (George Lucas) didn't want Mel Brooks to make money off of merchandising... it's that he didn't want a line of merchandise out there that could possibly be confused with Star Wars merchandise.

Rocky, I really enjoy your production, most 'things you didn't know ' videos are fill with things we all already knew, but you always give us new information
When I bought my eldest ot see it fadó fadó, he said "in about 20 years everyone will know just how great it is" - he loved the 'real-time marketing /VHS scene in particular (we still do it at family gettogethers/weddings when the mood hits). 20+ Earthturns later - DAMN TOOTIN' - the Boy was right!
Thank you Mr. Mel Brooks, Showing me not take my self so seriously. Although your work is off the chart, it is one of the best things going in a world with out direction. Miss your lovely wife Ann. Ruth, 2:4 The Lord Be With You................
I always thought it would be funny if Mel Brooks Came back to this, and did a Parody Special Edition, including deleted scenes, but of coruse, just filming new stuff with the actors as they were older, and sticking them into the original movie,
They were talking about Spaceballs 2 around the time The Phantom Menace came out. I loved reading the novelisation as a child, years before I actually saw the movie on TV. So many great lines ("They jammed the radar" is one of mine).
I will have to give you credit. I did not know about almost all of these. Good job. Also, I have no idea how they could possibly top this movie. Especially with today's political and cultural climate.
Should have thrown in Tim Russ! I know it's fairly well known among the deep nerds, but it's surprising how many casual fans of Spaceballs and Voyager still have not heard this.
For several years, I thought that Elon would have to make that sequel a reality. He ran out of power levels for teslas, so making an even quicker one would need a movie to introduce its new power mode.
If they ever do make a new Spaceballs movie it's most likely gonna suck! So they should just leave it be. Although the title of it is kinda hilarious 🤣
Spaceballs doesn’t need a sequel(I didn’t even know that a sequel is finally in the works )it’s a great standalone film that was just good fun to watch, great humour and makes you laugh every time But a sequel would ruin it, some of the original actors are not with us anymore so trying to make another one would take away the charm of the original, I would just rather they left it to be honest, it’s like the goonies, the best standalone film from the 80’s hands down but now a sequel for that is in the works, but WHY, leave it be Great video though, I do love this film, never realised a animated series was made despite 1 series, is there anywhere to watch it
I saw this at the odeon leicester Sq I remember when the man playing the organ when down in his pit people cheered not sure they were happy what he played or they were glad he was going away 🙈
The "Spaceballs 2: The search for more money" title was shown at the end of the Spaceballs movie, it would be a let down if it was called anything else.
I never once that spaceballs looked anything like hardware wars When star wars was remastered and rereleased to theaters, hardware wars had a special edition too. Lols were had
Why would *anyone* think green screen technology would damage their eyes? It's just a green backdrop. The camera didn't shoot lasers or anything. And blue screen tech had been used for decades already.
Yeah with all the originals not coming back and a lot of them passed away or too old to do it no it's just a cash grab and honestly I will not spend money on it
they should have made the sequel before john candy died, any sequel now will be garbage. just like the second beetlegeuse sucked. it's pathetic how hollywood can't come up with anything original.

The cast was perfect.
Just make sure you aren't talking about their stunt doubles
Spaceballs does NOT need a sequel, especially with several members of the cast no longer with us. It didn't need an animated TV series either, but we got it anyway.
Although, having a Mel Brooks style parody of the Disney trilogy might be great
Hopefully it’s better than history of the world part 2
"Whats the matter Col Sanders...... CHICKEN!?!!!!"
I always thought it was stupidly simple no-effort- to-write joke. But I did laugh when I read your comment, so it wins me.

Another thing: one of the stipulations that George Lucas had was that Lonestar was not dressed like Han Solo. So Mel Brooks dressed him like Indiana Jones.
He also forbade he make any merchandise. Thats why we get the spaceballs merchandise scene.
That’s awesome…..I wonder what George thought of it

About Barf, the line that Barf says about his tail having a mind of its own makes more sence now that we know another person was operating the tail.😅
A sequel without John Candy just wouldn’t be good.
Yeh. He’s his own best friend 🤪
Some films just aren't made to have a sequel. This whole category can't have sequels. I mean, could you imagine "Men in tights 2"?

Loved the movie. It was nice to watch a movie that was just fun. Mel Brooks is an incredible talent. Blessings Georgie.
Definitely knew about the merchandise thing. Love how Mel says in the movie merchandising where the real money of the movie is made !!
So this is what it's like someone narrating a video without background music I absolutely love it Three thumbs up
no one can replace Barf
Famous mime duo . . . That phrase has never been uttered in the English language.
They were incredibly well known throughout the villages of Brittany LOL
My all time favorite movie! Anytime someone asks, "What's your favorite movie?" , its always SPACEBALLS.
Spaceballs.......silly and juvenile, ITS SUPPOSED TO BE!
That's critics for you. Want everything to be a depressing drama.
Thanks for this one! Spaceballs is one of Mel Brooks' funniest parodies, where Nothing, not Star Wars, not Star Trek, not Planet of the Apes, or even Transformers: the Movie, was sacred.
Even the G. I. Joe Defiant Shuttle Complex got in on the act.
So many scenes to appreciate- my three faves are:
1. Capt. Lone Starr (a play on both Han Solo and Filmation's Bravestarr):

2. Dark Helmet: "You IDIOTS! You captured their STUNT Doubles!"
3. Colonel Sandurz: "No, Sir! I did not see you playing with your toys again, Sir!"

Did you know that in german they added an F to Colonel Sandurz, so the name is Colonel Sandfurz... which means sand-fart 😂
Brooks must have had the Moranis fever when he agreed to let Gad get anywhere near it. Did he see Pixels? Or any of his other ‘movies’.

I love how the "We ain't found shit" guy went on to play Tuvac.
"They've Gone To Plaid!" - Barf 😆
Spaceballs the cereal! 100% sugar
Love Hardware Wars.
My brother and I are in our 50's and still quote lines from Hardware Wars at each other. 😁
The chick that played the princess was pretty hot... definitely stacked
You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll kiss three bucks goodbye.

Ummmmmm no,we don't need a sequel thanks.😬😬
It wouldn't be as good without John Candy as Barf
Whooo hoooo, another Rocky on the tube! Not sure if that’s a good thing😂😂😂😂
I hope they don't make a sequel., not now without the original actors and Mel directing.
No Spaceballs 2 without John Candy, RIP
Great video mate, I loved this movie.
you went over my helmet?
@UncleJackOnline "more to the side."
I really wanted the Spaceballs flame thrower.
There can be no sequel. Nobody can replace the originals.
Space balls ROCKED THEN , AND STILL ROCKS NOW ! ⚠️👊
I was happy all throughout the video, and then Josh Gad showed up
"... to develop the long-awaited sequel."
Who in his f***ing right mind has been waiting for a Spaceballs sequel? And WHY?
Critics calling Spaceballs "silly and juvenile" is hardly criticism. It IS silly and juvenile.
And downright AWESOME
Spaceballs 2 better be at least as good as Bill and Ted 3
Should have thrown in Tim Russ!
I know it's fairly well known among the deep nerds, but it's surprising how many casual fans of Spaceballs and Voyager still have not heard this.
"We ain't found shit!"
RIP John Candy
For several years, I thought that Elon would have to make that sequel a reality. He ran out of power levels for teslas, so making an even quicker one would need a movie to introduce its new power mode.
Since Barf isn't around anymore, it would be hard to make it work.
If they ever do make a new Spaceballs movie it's most likely gonna suck! So they should just leave it be. Although the title of it is kinda hilarious 🤣
As long as they don’t screw it up
There is no chance they won't. Not a single one.
Oh god. I completely forgot about Morons from Outer Space.
I knew all 20 things

"Oh no...Not again!"
These are just 20 random facts about spaceballs that just about every true fan already know.
No that's to slow... we need LUDACRIS SPEED.... I think k Lucas actually has a few of the merch props
These are not them, you’ve captured their stunt doubles!
Sweet Jesus I hope they don't make a sequel. That would be a tragedy.
You know they will F...up sequel
I never once that spaceballs looked anything like hardware wars
When star wars was remastered and rereleased to theaters, hardware wars had a special edition too. Lols were had
Amazon will toxify the movie with a Mary sue, bumbling male lead, and a plot that can drain my macaroni.
Hilarious 😂😂
Live long, and prosper.
A sequel now wouldn’t work. Nobody could replace John Candy.
No remakes or sequels... The first one was perfect. Hollywood needs to stop messing with classics to earn a cheap buck.
I watched this so many times as a boy
Can't wait to NOT watch Amazon's buthchering of another beloved pop culture icon. "Spaceballs 2: Amazon's Quest To Destroy Spaceballs" 👎
They are some things you just don’t touch! 👍
They lost me at Josh Gad. Another talentless hack.
I don't want Amazon touching my Schwartz.
@@CPTAnonymous Me neither! 🤣
Fuck me running, that wasn't an April fools joke?!?!?
Goooooooddammmmmiiiit
Lost it at the R.L. Stine reveal
And how exactly would they bring back Barf? CGI?
It is pronounced YAR-nell. Not Yanell. AI strikes again.
Please no sequel. We're so fortunate with what we have in Spaceballs, don't try to milk it anymore.
Why would *anyone* think green screen technology would damage their eyes? It's just a green backdrop. The camera didn't shoot lasers or anything. And blue screen tech had been used for decades already.

Do not remake this movie or a sequel
cant imagine a reboot could remotely compare to the original. just leave it alone and come up with new ideas.

Hot take, but Spaceballs is my least favorite Mel Brooks film.
My favorite is the fly, with Jeff Goldblum
A spaceballs not written and directed by mel brooks is not a space balls.
Yeah with all the originals not coming back and a lot of them passed away or too old to do it no it's just a cash grab and honestly I will not spend money on it
You know, Josh Gad could actually make a pretty decent Barf.
don't do it. leave it alone. it was perfect. no sequel
#7 is BS chroma key or green screen was used in movies for decades before Spaceballs
Way too late for sequel, wouldn't work
they should have made the sequel before john candy died, any sequel now will be garbage. just like the second beetlegeuse sucked. it's pathetic how hollywood can't come up with anything original.
