In addition to the merchandise thing Lucas also told Brooks he couldn't dress Lonestar like Han Solo. Brilliantly, Brooks dressed him like Indiana Jones instead.
Title: The Culinary Elegance of Black Truffle Salt Introduction: In the realm of gastronomy, few ingredients command as much reverence and fascination as black truffle salt. A marriage of two culinary treasures - the earthy, intoxicating aroma of black truffles and the pure essence of salt - this exquisite seasoning tantalizes the senses and elevates dishes to extraordinary heights. In this essay, we explore the origins, characteristics, culinary applications, and cultural significance of black truffle salt, delving into its allure and enduring appeal. Origins and Characteristics: Black truffles, prized for centuries for their elusive nature and unparalleled flavor, hail from regions like France, Italy, and Spain, where they thrive in symbiotic harmony with certain tree species. Tuber melanosporum, the species commonly associated with black truffles, imparts a unique blend of earthiness, musk, and umami that captivates the palate. When finely ground and infused with high-quality sea salt, the resulting black truffle salt exudes a seductive aroma and robust flavor profile that is both decadent and nuanced. Culinary Applications: The versatility of black truffle salt knows no bounds, offering a passport to culinary creativity and indulgence. Its mere presence can transform the mundane into the extraordinary, turning everyday dishes into gourmet masterpieces. A mere pinch of black truffle salt can elevate simple fare such as scrambled eggs, roasted potatoes, or creamy risotto to sublime heights, infusing each bite with an irresistible depth of flavor. Furthermore, its affinity for rich, savory dishes makes it a prized companion for pasta, meats, seafood, and even popcorn, adding a luxurious touch to any culinary creation. Cultural Significance: Beyond its culinary prowess, black truffle salt carries with it a sense of prestige and cultural significance deeply rooted in tradition. Truffle hunting, an age-old practice passed down through generations in regions like Provence and Piedmont, embodies a timeless connection to the land and a reverence for nature's bounty. The culinary celebrations that ensue upon unearthing these prized fungi serve as a testament to the integral role truffles play in local culture and tradition. Moreover, black truffle salt has become synonymous with luxury and sophistication, gracing the tables of fine dining establishments and gourmet kitchens worldwide, where it symbolizes indulgence and refinement. Conclusion: In conclusion, black truffle salt stands as a shining example of culinary elegance and innovation, capturing the essence of truffles in a versatile and accessible form. Its origins steeped in tradition, its characteristics defined by complexity, and its culinary applications limited only by imagination. As we continue to savor its seductive flavors and embrace its cultural significance, we pay homage to the timeless allure of this culinary treasure. Indeed, black truffle salt transcends mere seasoning, embodying a legacy of taste, tradition, and culinary excellence that continues to inspire and delight epicureans around the globe.
He also said that he could have free rein with his parody, so long as he didn't try to do any additional merchandise. That's why they did the merchandising in the movie.
"May the Schwartz be with you!" Fun Fact: The scene with John Hurt at the diner who had the Alien inside of him was actually the same guy from "Alien" (1979). It really makes his line hilarious. "Oh no, not again!" Also, George Lucas loved this movie and wrote Mel Brooks a letter after its premiere, saying he thought he was going to bust something from laughing so hard. George Lucas also told Mel Brooks had he not chosen to parody "Star Wars", this movie would have succeeded as a great adventure movie. Mel Brooks said he was extremely flattered by George Lucas's compliments and support.
@@justaguy6129 Moranis was gonna return to acting, but then he got mugged. I'd love to strangle the guy that did that, probably prevented a great actor from returning.
I swear Ive seen this movie a ton and I dont remember that part, like the one I remember cut it off after they show the big comb. I wonder if I had cut versions somehow?
From the Spaceballs documentary, Mel said he sent the screenplay to George Lucas to get his OK to make Spaceballs. George told Mel OK but told him he couldn't sell Spaceballs merchandise to compete with his own stuff. That's why you see the Spaceball sheets, action figures, toilet paper, shaving cream and everything he had in the store in the movie. Another thing you may not have noticed was when the group gets into Yogurt's lair, they kind of resemble the Scarecrow, Dorothy, the Tin Man and the Lion in the shot. You didn't mention the "Druish Jokes" either.
George also told Mel that he couldn't use han solo name or look. So Mel made Lone Star dress in a Indiana Jones outfit instead. He was wearing the cowboy hat in the first seen but barf knocks it off with his tale and he never has it again.
@@purpledragon1945 Yogurt is a dairy product often with fruit extracts in it. It stands a pretty good chance of giving you diarrhea, which results in farting or "having gas". Great for long trips in your space Winnebago camper.
The "We ain't found shit!" guy when they're combing the desert is Tim Russ at the start of his career - who'd go on to be in 7 seasons of Star Trek Voyager, almost 200 other acting roles, and 36 directing credits.
For anyone who doesn't know: Apart from the reference to the sedative Valium, "Prince Valium" is also a reference to the comic "Prince Valiant" - easily distinguished by the haircut (though Valiant is dark-haired).
The radar guy is Michael Winslow. He's great at making sounds. He's also known for his role in Police Academy. I found him awhile back participating in America's Got Talent after years of retirement from acting. He's still got the talent for noise making.
@14:53 when Dark Helmet says to take a 5 min break we don't see anything of the Spaceballs for an actual 5 minutes in the movie. Before Star Wars premiered in 1977, director George Lucas and 20th Century Fox approached Mego about producing Star Wars action figures, but the company passed because it didn’t expect the movie to do very well. Instead, the Kenner toy company acquired the license. In 1978, Kenner released the first Star Wars action figures: Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Chewbacca and R2-D2.
If you haven't seen Mel Brooks' The Producers, there are 2 versions, the original from 1968 and the 2005 remake, which is really an adaptation of the Broadway musical. They're both worth your time. What makes this movie better than it would have been is that George Lucas found out Brooks was making a Star Wars satire, so he gave Mel full access to Lucasfilms, so he had the best special effects technology available for 1987.
Since I saw the 2005 version first, It has a special place in my heart and I like it more than the 1987 version. I just love the performances more in the remake and the song numbers, even though I love GW in the original.
Rick Moranis is a comedy icon from the 80s. It's so sad we had to loose him from our screens but his reasoning is absolutely understandable. This movie never fails to put a smile on my face especially when Dark Helmet flies into the console after breaking. 🤣🤣🤣
@Blue team John, Fred, Linda, Kelly yes, he made being a father his top priority, and I totally respect him for that. Now his kids have grown, I heard he's signed to be in a Honey I Shrunk the Kids sequel, but I have no idea how true that is.
Fun Fact: The black Spaceball who was carrying the small weave comb? That was a young Tim Russ, who would go on to greater fame when he played Commander Tuvok in Star Trek: Voyager
CLASSIC!! To Mr John Candy, you are missed. And, I really wish Rick Moranis would come back. Real quick, I truly regret eating pizza tonight before watching this reaction.
Rick Moranis was a gem in everything he every starred in. I hope you do Honey I Shrunk the Kids at some point, and Little Shop of Horrors. I'm so glad you enjoyed this profoundly silly movie. You gotta be in the right mood and a little immature, but it came out when I was 10 and it was absolutely perfect. You need to get yourselves a couple of Spaceballs: the T-Shirt shirts! 🤣
7:25 You two are rocking out to Bon Jovi. Hand in your beards. 😂 18:15 Brooks went to George Lucas to secure permission to make this parody of Star Wars, and Lucas agreed with one stipulation: there could be no Spaceballs merchandise. The store was Mel's inside joke about that. 28:45 That's John Hurt, the same actor who had the xenomorph explode from his chest in the first Alien film. So, yes..."again". 😁
i would like to add that the character (through the desert scene) at 18:51 that said "we ain't found beep" was played by actor Tim Russ who later played Lieutenant Commander Tuvok on Star Trek Voyager.
I was only 9 when this came out. I had a cute little crush on Lonestarr and I have since seen over 100 of Bill Pullman's roles. He's still my celebrity crush. I've seen him save ghosts on Casper, sweetly lose the girl on Sleepless in Seattle (TEAM WALTER), mesmerizingly lose his mind in Lost Highway, save the world on Independence Day and charmingly (and amusingly) fight his feelings for his soul mate on my favorite, While You were Sleeping while Sandra Bullock was such a convincing actress she made the audience excuse all her lies as we route for both of them. After all these years and movies, Spaceballs will always hold a special place in my heart. Such a quotable movie and timeless laughter.
my favorite line in the movie tje late great John Candy said after he found out the princess was druish he breaks the 4th wall and says to the camera :funny she dosen't look druish just hllarious.
The reason Spaceball One looks so impressively detailed in the opening is because Industrial Light & Magic did all of the visual effects. The same people who did Star Wars. Also, fun fact, part of the price for getting ILM to do the effects is that Lonestar could not look like Han Solo. So Brooks make him look like Indiana Jones instead. 10:56 the "Assholes" bit is easily one of my favorite jokes in the whole movie. 20:30 The dolls scene was totally adlibbed. They sat Rick Moranis down with a bunch of dolls dressed up as the characters and told him to have fun and started filming. The whole scene is great, but my favorite part is the look on Moranis' face just before the scene ends when he realizes that Col. Sanders just admitted to seeing him playing with his dolls. 25:09 So, I worked it out a while back and, and Lonestar's dad would have only need to have two siblings who each had at least one child for the former roommate to have been Lonestar himself. 28:06 There's a space shuttle and the Millenium Falcon parked at the diner.
Funny thing about Rick Moranis and John Candy. In Ghostbusters, the role of Louis was supposed to go to John Candy but he turned it down. Then John immediately recommended Rick for the role. John also made a cameo in the Ghostbusters music video so in a way he was a part of the movie. And then these two eventually did this movie together. That's the fate of Hollywood. Nothing will top the funny men of the 80's who brought us so much laughter and joy.
Yes, the guy in the bar with the chestburster is John Hurt, the same actor from the first Alien movie who had the original chestburster. That's why he says "Not again".
Hey guys, thanks so much for watching and giving your reaction to this great gem. I love this movie and it's hilarious, one of my fav movies of all time. FYI Rick Moranis is considered short 5'5" and it's a shame that he doesn't act anymore, but yes he's a comedy legend. John Candy may he R.I.P. was a very funny comedian and I've heard he was very friendly in person. I think was one of Bill Pullman's first movies, btw I loved him in Ruthless People, another great comedy that everybody should see. Mel Brooks is a pretty good actor, but great director, love all his movies, he's got a great sense of humor. I'm a huge fan of parodies and I loved this movie, can't say anything bad about it. Loved the cameo from John Hurt (R.I.P.) as well.
John Candy was like an Uncle to me. I started watching him when I was probably 6 years old on the Canadian sketch comedy tv show "SCTV". I have watched his movies countless times, read about him, and I've seen every video I can find about John Candy. There is not one person that did not say; he was the most loving, and lovable human being they'd ever met. The way his children talk about him is incredibly special. I miss him a lot.
if not said already......Fun Fact:@28:47 the actor is John Hurt the reason he says not again is because this is a spoof of his role from alien where the same thing happened to him...
Rewind it and pause on that space diner at the end. Not only are several different styles of motor home ships are parked there, but so is the Millenium Falcon. Unmistakable.
When Dark Helmet says "Let's take a five minute brake" If you notice they don't go back to the Spaceballs crew until exactly 5 minutes later showing Mel Brooks attention to detail.
You guys are the first who I have seen do a reaction to this movie and recognize and mention the reference Mel Brooks made to the Warner Brothers animated frog.
Also, the 'not again' joke. The actor was John Hurt, the one who got the alien busting out of him in the original Alien film. That's what making the 'not again' quote so funny.
And the last guy combing the desert with a pick who ain't found...... is the same actor who played Tuvok in Voyager. He is proud of this role to this day
I'm a few weeks late on my reply. But if you want to know the name of the music track when the "space RV" shows up first, it's "Raise Your Hands" by Bon Jovi. Great song 😎😎
The line from Dark Helmet near the end: "I am your Father's Brother's Nephew's Cousin's former room-mate." Just do the 'math' on that. Your "Father's Brother" is your uncle, his Nephew is likely you, or another male relative in your generation, so he's YOUR Cousin's former room-mate.
Lucas allowed Brooks full rights and use of Lucas films to make the props except Brooks could not make any sellable toys in the movie which is why the merchandise joke runs through the movie.
I've watched this film dozens & dozens of times over the years, but it took you reading the introductory text for me to get the joke about "Chapter 11"! Chapter 11 is what you declare when you go bankrupt! I always saw the weird tiny tie with a medallion on each side as representing Darth Helmet's little d**k energy. I suppose the Spaceballs could be representative of being 'balls' only. That would make them all d**kless... Rick Moranis is 5'-6" tall. Yes, he's short. But then, Mel Brooks is 5'-5". And both portray "Big Men" in charge. Stock the ship's bridge with actors 6ft or taller, and it becomes comedy gold. Love you guys' enjoyment of this. I NEED that laughter in my life.
Btw I believe at the end of the movie when they r at the Cafe the scene where the dude has alien come out of dudes stomach if I remember the reason y he said "Again" is because he was in the first alien movie when the first Alien came out
Saw this. Clicked immediately. Not at the level of Blazing Saddles - which was when Mel was at his zenith - but this is highly enjoyable, immensely quotable, and gets better with age as a person slowly watches various sci-fi. Just so great!
In all the reactions to Spaceballs I've seen nobody mentions that Colonel Sanderz says "Ready Kafka?" After mentioning Metamorphosis. A reference to The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.
With the Alien bursting from John Hurt... Look up "Michigan J Frog" ;D
Год назад+4
Actor John Hurt played Kane, the first character to show how the Ridley Scott's Alien would burst out of his character's chest, he reprised his role yet again this time for the laughs in Spaceballs. Actor Michael Leslie Winslow who made the mouth sound effects throughout the whole Police Academy franchise went to Spaceballs for the same job 😆. Bill Pullman, who plays Lone Star, also plays the President of the United States in the alien invasion film _Independence Day_ with Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum.
Lol for clarification. The actor with the chest burster alien, is the same actor from the original Alien who has the stomach burster. Hence the 4th wall break, “Not again.” It was clever how they threw that in there.
The song Barf is listening to when you first see the RV is "Raise Your Hands" by Bon Jovi. It is on the Slippery When Wet album, but their best album overall is Bon Jovi New Jersey.
I am loving watching people discover this movie, I know the movie word for word because I’ve been watching it since I was a kid. It came out when I was 4. The 80s were a different time lol.
I don't think you guys realized that in the comb the desert bit, dark helmet had a megaphone and was about to use it until colonel sanders asked him a question, then he used the megaphone to talk to a guy right in front of him, then puts it down and yells at the soldiers combing the desert at a distance.
I remember hearing in the audio commentary there was originally supposed to be MORE pizza the hut but the costume was malfunctioning and the actor in the suit refused to get back in after the first take or two.
Thsi is my second favorite sarcastic comedy of all time (Airplane being #1), and what is funny is that one of my all time favorite book was written by Mel Brook's son Max, World War Z. Max also wrote The Zombie Survival Guide and you can see his dad's humor in that one
“There’s been a new breakthrough in home video marketing.” Who would’ve guessed a parody from the mid 80’s would’ve correctly predicted straight-to-Disney+ movie releases forty years later?
Fun Fact for you guys: The actor who voiced Pizza The Hutt was Dom Deluise who was kind of a regular in Mel Brooks movies as he appeared in other Mel Brooks movies such as, "Robin Hood:Men In Tights", Silent Movie" and "Blazing Saddles" And the actor who played King Roland, Princess Vespa's father was Dick Van Patton, who also appeared in "Robin Hood:Men In Tights" as The Abbott officiating the wedding between Maid Marion and The Sheriff of Rottingham, Which was a parodied version of the Sheriff of Nottingham
"Was That The Original Actor That Recreated The 'Alien' Scene?" Yes, it was indeed John Hurt reprising his character's death scene in "Alien" in this movie Thus, his comment, "Oh, No, Not Again"
Hats off for calling "Planet of the apes" that early, wow! The word "schwartz" is a variation of the word "schwanz". That strange guy next to pizza-the-hut, and also later the the TV-announcement of his death, were both a reference to legendary show "Max headroom" (actually a good one)
Oh good God, your first time. Spaceball virgins, I’m so pleased to be part of your first time. Don’t know about you, but I’m excited, I’m all a flutter.
This movie is one of my father and mine favorite movies to watch. No matter how many times we watch this movie we always crack up. We mainly burst out laughing for no reason while the the Spaceballs 1 ship is passing by at the intro to the movie. Skroob is just Brooks spelt backwards. Also in the diner scene near the end of the movie if you watch carefully you will see the Millennium Falcon outside.
8:31 The Pizza the Hut character actually almost killed the special effects artist puppeteering it. That is actual melted cheese and sauce and cooked pepperoni. The special effects artist is actually inside the costume. He almost had heat stroke from being under all that melted cheese, baked bread and cooked toppings. The film makers had to use the first and only take as he and everyone else refused to get back in there.
In addition to the merchandise thing Lucas also told Brooks he couldn't dress Lonestar like Han Solo. Brilliantly, Brooks dressed him like Indiana Jones instead.

"We ain't found shit!"
*Holds the shot for longer than you should*
Best moment of the film.
That line made me laugh my ass off EVERY time when I watched this as a kid. It still makes me laugh.

I miss Rick Moranis. He did release a comedy album called My Mother’s Brisket.
7:14, In case you're wondering, the name of that song is "Raise Your Hands" by Bon Jovi.
"It's Mega Maid, she's gone from suck to blow!"
Then they all stagger in "whoa!".
Still funny to this day.
I was only 9 when this came out. I had a cute little crush on Lonestarr and I have since seen over 100 of Bill Pullman's roles. He's still my celebrity crush. I've seen him save ghosts on Casper, sweetly lose the girl on Sleepless in Seattle (TEAM WALTER), mesmerizingly lose his mind in Lost Highway, save the world on Independence Day and charmingly (and amusingly) fight his feelings for his soul mate on my favorite, While You were Sleeping while Sandra Bullock was such a convincing actress she made the audience excuse all her lies as we route for both of them. After all these years and movies, Spaceballs will always hold a special place in my heart. Such a quotable movie and timeless laughter.
my favorite line in the movie tje late great John Candy said after he found out the princess was druish he breaks the 4th wall and says to the camera :funny she dosen't look druish just hllarious.
I love how the reactions and laughs you two have are mostly in sync.
The reason Spaceball One looks so impressively detailed in the opening is because Industrial Light & Magic did all of the visual effects. The same people who did Star Wars. Also, fun fact, part of the price for getting ILM to do the effects is that Lonestar could not look like Han Solo. So Brooks make him look like Indiana Jones instead.
10:56 the "Assholes" bit is easily one of my favorite jokes in the whole movie.
20:30 The dolls scene was totally adlibbed. They sat Rick Moranis down with a bunch of dolls dressed up as the characters and told him to have fun and started filming. The whole scene is great, but my favorite part is the look on Moranis' face just before the scene ends when he realizes that Col. Sanders just admitted to seeing him playing with his dolls.
25:09 So, I worked it out a while back and, and Lonestar's dad would have only need to have two siblings who each had at least one child for the former roommate to have been Lonestar himself.
28:06 There's a space shuttle and the Millenium Falcon parked at the diner.
Funny thing about Rick Moranis and John Candy. In Ghostbusters, the role of Louis was supposed to go to John Candy but he turned it down. Then John immediately recommended Rick for the role. John also made a cameo in the Ghostbusters music video so in a way he was a part of the movie. And then these two eventually did this movie together. That's the fate of Hollywood. Nothing will top the funny men of the 80's who brought us so much laughter and joy.
Yes, the guy in the bar with the chestburster is John Hurt, the same actor from the first Alien movie who had the original chestburster. That's why he says "Not again".
35:49 _"Cool Runnings"_ and _"the great outdoors"_ are other memorable movies with John Candy.
Hey guys, thanks so much for watching and giving your reaction to this great gem. I love this movie and it's hilarious, one of my fav movies of all time. FYI Rick Moranis is considered short 5'5" and it's a shame that he doesn't act anymore, but yes he's a comedy legend. John Candy may he R.I.P. was a very funny comedian and I've heard he was very friendly in person. I think was one of Bill Pullman's first movies, btw I loved him in Ruthless People, another great comedy that everybody should see. Mel Brooks is a pretty good actor, but great director, love all his movies, he's got a great sense of humor. I'm a huge fan of parodies and I loved this movie, can't say anything bad about it. Loved the cameo from John Hurt (R.I.P.) as well.
John Candy was like an Uncle to me. I started watching him when I was probably 6 years old on the Canadian sketch comedy tv show "SCTV". I have watched his movies countless times, read about him, and I've seen every video I can find about John Candy. There is not one person that did not say; he was the most loving, and lovable human being they'd ever met. The way his children talk about him is incredibly special. I miss him a lot.
John Candy was also in Disney’s The Rescuers Down Under, another criminally underrated movie!
😊
if not said already......Fun Fact:@28:47 the actor is John Hurt the reason he says not again is because this is a spoof of his role from alien where the same thing happened to him...
Rewind it and pause on that space diner at the end. Not only are several different styles of motor home ships are parked there, but so is the Millenium Falcon. Unmistakable.
When Dark Helmet says "Let's take a five minute brake" If you notice they don't go back to the Spaceballs crew until exactly 5 minutes later showing Mel Brooks attention to detail.
The song when you first see the winnebago is Raise your Hands by Bon Jovi from their successfull 1986 album Slippery When Wet.
You guys are the first who I have seen do a reaction to this movie and recognize and mention the reference Mel Brooks made to the Warner Brothers animated frog.
"Is he force-choking his grapes?"
You should make this line into a decal for your merchandise!!!!
😂 I Laughed So Hard At That! 😂
If you look closely in the parking lot of the Galaxy Grill you will see the Millennium Falcon parked
Mel Brooks is actually going to be directing again with a Hulu series called “History of the World Part II”!
Awesome reaction! You gotta check out Mel Brooks’ “History of the World part 1” from 1981. There’s a part 2 coming out later this year.
Also, the 'not again' joke.
The actor was John Hurt, the one who got the alien busting out of him in the original Alien film.
That's what making the 'not again' quote so funny.
The “oh no, not again…” is because the actor is John hurt was the actor from Alien who had the chest bursted happen to him. It’s such a great cameo.
And the last guy combing the desert with a pick who ain't found...... is the same actor who played Tuvok in Voyager. He is proud of this role to this day
I'm a few weeks late on my reply. But if you want to know the name of the music track when the "space RV" shows up first, it's "Raise Your Hands" by Bon Jovi. Great song 😎😎
The line from Dark Helmet near the end: "I am your Father's Brother's Nephew's Cousin's former room-mate."
Just do the 'math' on that. Your "Father's Brother" is your uncle, his Nephew is likely you, or another male relative in your generation, so he's YOUR Cousin's former room-mate.
Not necessarily, could be your uncle's nephew by marriage and no blood relation to you.
@@pompe221 That would still be your cousin, because we don't really call anyone cousin-in-law.
Lucas allowed Brooks full rights and use of Lucas films to make the props except Brooks could not make any sellable toys in the movie which is why the merchandise joke runs through the movie.
I hope somewhere, somehow one of the stage crew stashed away some of the prop merch made for the movie and it shows up in their estate sale..
A Lucas loved Mel Brooks for making it a running joke
I watched this film in the late 80's, and it's been my favorite comedy ever since.
I'm still waiting for Spaceballs 2.
I've watched this film dozens & dozens of times over the years, but it took you reading the introductory text for me to get the joke about "Chapter 11"!
Chapter 11 is what you declare when you go bankrupt!
I always saw the weird tiny tie with a medallion on each side as representing Darth Helmet's little d**k energy.
I suppose the Spaceballs could be representative of being 'balls' only. That would make them all d**kless...
Rick Moranis is 5'-6" tall. Yes, he's short. But then, Mel Brooks is 5'-5". And both portray "Big Men" in charge.
Stock the ship's bridge with actors 6ft or taller, and it becomes comedy gold.
Love you guys' enjoyment of this. I NEED that laughter in my life.
"Is he force choking his grapes" lmao, totally buckled with laughter 😂
In the Comte tart of the movie Mel brooks said he originally wanted to make the first half hour of the movie be the ship panning but he was told no
Btw I believe at the end of the movie when they r at the Cafe the scene where the dude has alien come out of dudes stomach if I remember the reason y he said "Again" is because he was in the first alien movie when the first Alien came out
Saw this. Clicked immediately. Not at the level of Blazing Saddles - which was when Mel was at his zenith - but this is highly enjoyable, immensely quotable, and gets better with age as a person slowly watches various sci-fi. Just so great!
In all the reactions to Spaceballs I've seen nobody mentions that Colonel Sanderz says "Ready Kafka?" After mentioning Metamorphosis. A reference to The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.
Mel Brooks' initial pitch for the film was just a solid 90 minutes of that opening gag with the insanely long ship.
ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER MADE!!!
Thank you so much for reacting to this masterpiece!
um...no its not
@@donkey3187 um. Yes it is
@@heikira438 its a sillly movie thats not even that funny
@DONKEY And you're a person with no sense of humor. I hope you don't self delete as you clearly have problems in your life.
@@heikira438 Naw, I love comedies...this one just isnt a very good one.
The reaction was okay, but the Jar Jar Binks impressions had me in tears!
OMG same!!! Immediately added this to my favorite/funny video playlists.
"IS HE FORCE CHOKING HIS GRAPES?" My fucking sides!
This movie is a classic. I went to a 30yr anniversary showing of spaceballs a few years ago and Mel Brooks did a Q&A after. It was amazing.
I envy You, must have been great
@@martinm8991 it was great. He was like 94 yrs old and still super with it cracking jokes and telling stories.
Blazing Saddles is my other favorite Mel Brooks movie
With the Alien bursting from John Hurt... Look up "Michigan J Frog" ;D
Actor John Hurt played Kane, the first character to show how the Ridley Scott's Alien would burst out of his character's chest, he reprised his role yet again this time for the laughs in Spaceballs.
Actor Michael Leslie Winslow who made the mouth sound effects throughout the whole Police Academy franchise went to Spaceballs for the same job 😆.
Bill Pullman, who plays Lone Star, also plays the President of the United States in the alien invasion film _Independence Day_ with Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum.
The reason Paris comes up is that in France the police and ambulances make the same siren sounds.
JEWS IN SPACE!!!! You guys got to cover History of the World Part 1, with the second part coming out soon on Hulu
If you like Rick Moranis, you got to see Strange Brew, he plays an iconic character that still shows up in movies, commercials and TV shows
Love that movie
As I recall there was once talk of a sequel to this. It was to be called "Spaceballs 3 the Search for 2"
Lol for clarification. The actor with the chest burster alien, is the same actor from the original Alien who has the stomach burster. Hence the 4th wall break, “Not again.” It was clever how they threw that in there.
The song Barf is listening to when you first see the RV is "Raise Your Hands" by Bon Jovi. It is on the Slippery When Wet album, but their best album overall is Bon Jovi New Jersey.
I am loving watching people discover this movie, I know the movie word for word because I’ve been watching it since I was a kid. It came out when I was 4. The 80s were a different time lol.
I don't think you guys realized that in the comb the desert bit, dark helmet had a megaphone and was about to use it until colonel sanders asked him a question, then he used the megaphone to talk to a guy right in front of him, then puts it down and yells at the soldiers combing the desert at a distance.
Mel Brooks wanted to have the ship go on for like 15-20 minutes.
This movie is the best! So glad you watched it 😂
I remember hearing in the audio commentary there was originally supposed to be MORE pizza the hut but the costume was malfunctioning and the actor in the suit refused to get back in after the first take or two.
Yes! So awesome that you guys are tackling this fun masterpiece! Thanks, bros!
Thsi is my second favorite sarcastic comedy of all time (Airplane being #1), and what is funny is that one of my all time favorite book was written by Mel Brook's son Max, World War Z.
Max also wrote The Zombie Survival Guide and you can see his dad's humor in that one
Yes, that WAS the original Alien actor, John Hurt
19:23 ...."Spaceballs 2: The search of more money"....Ain't that the title of every sequel out there?.....
I haven't clicked a video this fast in a while. You two and Spaceballs has got to be FIRE. Can't wait.
I was not disappointed.
@@jasonremy1627 Neither was I. I ran it as soon as I saw it, knowing it would be awesome.
“There’s been a new breakthrough in home video marketing.” Who would’ve guessed a parody from the mid 80’s would’ve correctly predicted straight-to-Disney+ movie releases forty years later?
18:50 "We ain't found SHIT!" Hahahaha
And that's Tuvok from Voyager.
Fun Fact for you guys:
The actor who voiced Pizza The Hutt was Dom Deluise who was kind of a regular in Mel Brooks movies as he appeared in other Mel Brooks movies such as, "Robin Hood:Men In Tights", Silent Movie" and
"Blazing Saddles"
And the actor who played King Roland, Princess Vespa's father was Dick Van Patton, who also appeared in "Robin Hood:Men In Tights" as The Abbott officiating the wedding between Maid Marion and The Sheriff of Rottingham, Which was a parodied version of the Sheriff of Nottingham
Also he was the king in the Super Mario Bros movie :D
@@TarossBlackburn I've never seen that movie
I am so old I saw this in theaters when it came out.
At the space diner, you can see the Millennium Falcon in the parking lot.
When that alien popped out of that guys stomach. He was the same guy from the movie alien when the same thing happened. Keep it up guys!!!
I'm surprised that they didn't make an Arnold cameo. Seeing how he IS the Schwarz.
"Was That The Original Actor That Recreated The 'Alien' Scene?"
Yes, it was indeed John Hurt reprising his character's death scene in "Alien" in this movie
Thus, his comment, "Oh, No, Not Again"
Hats off for calling "Planet of the apes" that early, wow! The word "schwartz" is a variation of the word "schwanz".
That strange guy next to pizza-the-hut, and also later the the TV-announcement of his death, were both a reference to legendary show "Max headroom" (actually a good one)
Oh good God, your first time. Spaceball virgins, I’m so pleased to be part of your first time. Don’t know about you, but I’m excited, I’m all a flutter.
Awesome Movie and Work Guys, Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍😀😁😁 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
This movie is one of my father and mine favorite movies to watch. No matter how many times we watch this movie we always crack up. We mainly burst out laughing for no reason while the the Spaceballs 1 ship is passing by at the intro to the movie.
Skroob is just Brooks spelt backwards.
Also in the diner scene near the end of the movie if you watch carefully you will see the Millennium Falcon outside.
Pizza the hut costume actually had real cheese and pepperoni on it. It was so hot that it actually burned the actor inside
8:31 The Pizza the Hut character actually almost killed the special effects artist puppeteering it. That is actual melted cheese and sauce and cooked pepperoni. The special effects artist is actually inside the costume. He almost had heat stroke from being under all that melted cheese, baked bread and cooked toppings. The film makers had to use the first and only take as he and everyone else refused to get back in there.
"we Ain't found shit" guy is Tim Russ {Lt. Tuvok} from Star Trek Voyager
If y’all haven’t seen “Uncle Buck” or “The Great Outdoors” they’re great John Candy movie’s as well
