      Dot Matrix was the late Joan Rivers.
      One condition Mel had to meet, per George Lucas, to get the rights to parody SW so closely was to not sell merchandise. That inspired Mel to fill the screen with unsellable merchandise.
      Michael Winslow made his name doing sound effects in the film Police Academy.

    When Dark Helmet tells everyone to take a five minute break, if you check the time stamp when the Spaceballs appear again, it’s exactly five minutes later in the movie. So they and the film crew literally took a five minute break. Mel Brooks is a damn genius.

    Mel Brooks actually went to George Lucas and asked his permission to make Spaceballs, and George said yes, but that Spaceballs couldn't have any merchandise beyond the home video releases, and ILM worked on some of the visual effects of the movie. Also the guy who says "We ain't found sh**" is played by Tim Russ, who is well known as Tuvok, one of the main characters of Star Trek: Voyager, and he guest starred on Star Trek: The Next Generation, and in the seventh Star Trek movie, Generations. Oh and Daphne Zuniga, who played Princess Vespa in this movie would appear on the teen drama series, One Tree Hill as the mother of one of the main characters, Brooke.

      @@eolsunderHardly the original parody. Blazing Saddles is a parody of Westerns from Mel Brooks in 1974 and even before that the original Casino Royale was a James Bond parody from the sixties. Young Frankenstein is a direct parody of the original Universal Horror Frankenstein if you want a strict parody and that was from 1974 too.

    This movie holds up so well, which is wild for being something both of the 80s and spoofing something from the 70s/80s! It's STILL so much fun and that themesong gets me every time :D
    Your realization for Planet of the Apes was fantastic too!

    It wasn't a hit at first but gained in popularity.
    To answer your questions, Yes, please do react to, 'The Mummy Returns' it's a great sequel and almost as good as the first, and yes again for reacting to, 'Young Frankenstein', I recommend that you watch the Universal 'Frankenstein' from 1931 first as it's a parody of the first 3 films, 'Frankenstein', 'The Bride of Frankenstein' and 'The Son of Frankenstein', it's one of Mel Brooks' best comedies.

    Hey Jen. The actor from the Alien Chestburster scene was in fact John Hurt from Alien. That's why he said "not again". Also, the song and dance is a spoof of an old Looney Toons cartoon of Michigan J. Frog. The frog pops out of a box, grabs a cane and top hat, then sings that song, among others.

    My friends and I still quote one-liners from this movie if the situation matches.
    Case-and-point, with a lot of cars and appliances breaking down quicker due to planned obsolescence, when something has problems or stops working we'll be like, "F***, even in the future nothing works!"
    Or if one of us is giving the others a hard time, we'll be like, "I knew it, I'm surrounded by assholes!"
    Classic movie. The Princess Bride of Sci-Fi.

    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.

    Great movie. There was a parody on Alien was in the end with the diner scene. They even brought the same actor John Heard Rip for that scene. Other great Mel Brooks spoof movies are : Robin Hood Men in tights and High Anxiety which is a spoof on classic Alfred Hitchcock movies like Psycho or The Birds which you obviously have to see before seeing it. Another great spoof movie you should see is Top Secret .

The four of them, walking forward but fearful, the flames, the booming intimidating voice, etc. So glad you did pick up on Planet of the Apes, Star Trek, and Lawrence of Arabia. Oh, the Dink Dinks were doing the Col. Bogey March from Bridge on the River Kwai.

    Hi Jen!🙂Comedian Joan Rivers is the voice of Dot Matrix. The person that physically plays Dot is mime Lorene Shields. Yes, mime, not yours.😄She was one half of the popular entertainment duo of "Shields & Yarnell". Actor Michael Winslow who makes the funny noises became very popular doing that in the "Police Academy" films. He would reprise his act in 2021 on TV's "America's Got Talent". If you want to watch another shrinky 80s film some time like "Honey I Shrunk the Kids", I recommend "Innerspace" (1987). The sexy nurse is a young Brenda Strong from TV's "Desperate Housewives". There is an ACTUAL Star Trek TV actor in this film. It is Tim Russ (Black Hair Comb Trooper). He played Vulcan Tuvok in "Star Trek: Voyager" for 7 years. "Rambo: First Blood Part II" is a great 80s film.🏆"Beneath the Planet of the Apes" is pretty entertaining, but the first and third "Escape from the Planet of the Apes" are my favorites. The film was not a commercial success when it was released. It finished behind the Tom Hanks & Dan Aykroyd comedy "Dragnet" at the box office. However, since it's video release it has become very popular. Great reactions to this classic Mel Brooks comedy, Jen!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

    If you want more of the guy who did the sounds ( with his mouth) you should check out Police Acadamy ( 1984 ). He was huge back then just cause he could do incredible sounds during his standup. They also showed History of the World Part 1 another great Mel Brooks movie you should check out if you haven't yet.

    31:33 "Are those the guys from it?" Essentially. The actor who says "Not again" is the exact same actor. The others in his crew aren't, and they aren't exactly lookalikes, but they're definitely "look-similars" with names that have some relation to their equivalent characters' names in Alien.

    The guy who did the sound effects is a comedian called Michel Winslow. His most famous role is as Larvell Jones in the Police Academy series of movies, and TV show.
    As for movies you missed that this thing parodies, there's the Wizard of Oz (the scene leading up to the reveal of Yogurt) and Raiders of the Lost Ark (see below). The reason there was merchandising in the film was that in order to get permission for the parody at all, they couldn't _do_ any _real_ merchandising in the real world (as that would violate contracts that George Lucas had). Lucas also said they couldn't dress their main star like Han Solo... so they dressed him like Indiana Jones instead. Lucas reportedly laughed a whole bunch on seeing the movie.

    Mel Brooks loves to put obscure references in his films. When the Alien pops out of John Hurt's chest and then struts down the counter sing " Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my rag time gal" that is a reference to a Warner Brothers cartoon" One Froggy Evening". You will find these obscure references in all Mel Brooks films. You have to be an old codger(74) like me to get some of them.
