@@NiaMakiReacts So does this mean that you are going to watch Ridley Scott's "Alien" and the sequel, James Cameron's "Aliens"? (and maybe Cameron's "Terminator", "The Abyss", and "Terminator 2")?
To a lot of people of a certain age, Spaceballs was their introduction to hilarious swearing as kids, and we never forgot it (and are still laughing with every rewatch). Great reaction.
The alien popping out of the guy's abdomen was from the move "Alien" and the guy was John Hurt who had the alien pop out of his belly in "Alien". That was why he said, "Oh no, not again."
George Lucas let Mel Brooks use a lot of the Star Wars stuff including special effects. The only caveat was that Mel Brooks couldn't make Spaceballs merch because it would look like Star Wars merch. So Mel added the merchandise joke to the movie.
This is Mel Brooks' science fiction parody. It took plot points from Star Wars, but is really parodying the space fantasy sub genre: spoiled princess, rogue, Transformers, Wizard of Oz, Star Trek, the diner reenactment of the meal in Alien, Planet of the Apes, the twins from Quark... By the way, Dot Matrix was the C-3PO of this movie. The cylinder with dome & legs is R2D2.
crazy trivia time! the space balls theme played during the mega-maid self destruct sequence? THATS THE SPINNERS. WHENEVER YOU CALL ME, I'LL BE THERE, I'LL BE AROUND. yes, those guys. could it be i'm falling in love, i'll be workin my weay back to youuuu, babe, they really got the spinners on this.

Loved the scene where Princess Vespa fires back after her hair gets shot. I have a movie suggestion for you to react to. It's one of my favorites. The Final Countdown. (1980) The U.S.S. Nimitz goes back to December 6th, 1941. It's filmed on the Nimitz.
A lot of people assume Mel Brooks got sued over this movie because it was too close to Star Wars. On the contrary, George Lucus loved this movie. When approached about it (also how they didn't get sued, they got permission for things that _could have_ gotten them sued otherwise) he even gave them permission to put the Millennium Falcon in the movie. Its only for like a second, but right before the diner scene if you look closely, its sitting in the parking lot.
Nice job! Your staff should have told you this would cover more than "SW". "Wizard of Oz", original "planet of the apes", "alien", Warner brother's cartoon "one foggy evening" are those I can think of. But you were okay. I'm sure there are more references. Mel was always nostalgic. Like his movies for sale in the gift shop being a shameful plug. And his disregarding the fourth wall. I thought for a while we'd get an R2 as a trash can but Mel didn't go there. Maybe if they remake it, the they that do it, will add more. But like I said you were fine. Just keep doing this as long as it makes you happy.
I wish I had staff, haha, at the moment it is only me, with the occasional help with an editor. The discord group is fairly good about telling me things but I filed this without talking about it with them first.
Happy you enjoyed Spaceballs, another classic from Mel Brooks. Mel Brooks was born Melvin James Kaminsky and is of Jewish heritage. He always made Jewish jokes in his movies. Mel Brooks received George Lucas blessing to make Spaceballs which is his parody of Star Wars 1977, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back 1980 and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi 1984. Only one condition was placed on Brooks and Spaceballs by Lucas. There could be no merchandising from the movie as Lucas felt it Spaceballs merch might get confused with official Star Wars Merch. After seeing Pizza The Hut one may never be able to eat pizza again.
Oh, and most people don't realize the plot of Spaceballs was about a 50/50 mix of Star Wars and the 1934 classic It Happened One Night, directed by Frank Capra (of It's a Wonderful Life fame).
Hey Nia, love your reactions. Just an FYI, in case you weren't aware of it, Mel Brooks is Jewish, so he never misses an opportunity to do Jewish jokes because ... well, he can (get away with it). So yes, the Druish Princess is a reference to uppity spoiled, high maintenance Jewish "Princesses". Only Mel Brooks could get away with it though, kind of like in Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein and Robin Hood: Men In Tights, all of which you've already reacted to.
I'm pretty sure that Mel Brooks not only parodied Star Wars but he gave honorable mention to just about every other popular sci-fi movie or series that was popular at that time!! Star Trek- Snotty Indiana Jones Temple of Doom Mentioning Rambo Wizard of Oz Transformers Planet of the Apes Alien... Did I miss any???
It’s funny George Lucas didn’t want Mel Brooks modeling the hero after Han Solo so Mel decided to go with Indiana Jones. Also George told Mel he couldn’t do any merchandise for the movie for fear it’d be confused with Star Wars so that’s why Yogurt has the store inside his place. Funny thing I didn’t notice when I first watched this movie was that Dark Helmet is wearing a necktie and what the necktie looks like. Not many people catch on to the fact that the prince she’s supposed to marry is called Prince Valium and he’s always sleepy. The radar tech is Michael Winslow who played in the police academy movies and does many different sound effects with his voice. Marlene and Charlene (the twins) did promotional stuff for double mint gum back in the 80s.
In one of the earlier drafts of Star Wars, there was no Han Solo or Luke Skywalker. Just Obi-Wan Kenobi. Though the names in that draft wouldn't tell you that. That detail you only find out if you saw Akira Kurosawa's 'Hidden Fortress' (1958) which was a major inspiration for the plot and characters.
I THINK one of the actual Yoda concept arts, before the final one was chosen, did look a lot like Yogurt....wonder if Brooks got to look at some old Star Wars concept drawings whilst making this film.
Spaceballs isn't a rewrite of a Star Wars movie. Brooks lifted a few ideas here and there, mutated them, and shoved back into a new movie. It's overall a science fantasy like Star Wars. Princess Vespas's wedding scenes at the beginning and end of the movie are a reference to It Happened One Night. Spotty (Scotty) and beaming is a reference to Star Trek. When President Skroob is turned backwards, is he temporarily President Brooks? A raspberry salute is rude sound. The video cassette shows the infinite hall of mirrors effect. The dink dinks are a jawa version of the Seven Dwarves. Yes, the ship turning Mega Maid refers to Transformers. Absolutely no idea if the suck/blow refers to anything. The end of Planet of the Apes shows a half buried Statue of Liberty in the same shape as the crashed Mega Maid components. The Diner scene with John Hurt references an Alien scene with John Hurt. The octopus birth might be from Prometheus.
When Brooks was doing the movie, George Lucas specifically asked him to not make Lone Star look like Han Solo. Which is why he is dressed as Indiana Jones...
@@NiaMakiReacts a little, there are some jump scares, and the move does a good job of building tension. The catch linr for this movie when it came out in 1979 was "In space no one can hear you scream"
@@NiaMakiReacts Yes, it's definitely got its scary moments, but more than that, it's very suspenseful. I think you would appreciate it. One of the greatest movies ever. 👽

I was seven years old when this came out it was because of this movie that everytime my parents misplaced something and asked me if I'd found it I'd always reply I ain't found Spaceballs and my parents would always crack up laughing
The movie you were describing was Prometheus which is also directed by Ridley Scott who directed Alien which has the scene the diner bit from Spaceballs is spoofing.
I'm a little saddened that you didn't know the Vulcan neck pinch. I mean, they still make Star Trek movies and TV shows, just like they're still making Star Wars and Planet of the Apes media, so it kinda shocks me you've never come across that before. In the original series (and the reboot movies with Chris Pine as Captain Kirk), Kirk's first mate and Science Officer is an alien named Spock from the planet Vulcan and his neck pinch trick was his favorite way to incapacitate the bad guys they would encounter. If you ever watch Back to the Future, you may find some familiar references in that movie as well.
Also the black guy on pick in desert is actor from Syar Trek Vpuagas Tuvok. Stoll proud to today. Also Plasyuc Surgeon nurse actress played the main Captain in STARSHIP TROOPERS. and if you look close at Cafe scene on parking lot The MILLINEUM FALCON from STAR WARS IN the lot
And then in 1996 Lonestar teamed up with Will Smith to save the Earf from an alien invasion. Also I'm still waiting for my Spaceballs: The Flamethrower.
The merchandising joke is a huge dig at George Lucas, who made his fortune off of Fox's stupidity (They let him have the merchandising rights to Star Wars as his payment for directing). He let Mel parody Star Wars so long as he never made Spaceballs merch. Lucas also wouldn't let Mel dress Lone Star as Solo, so that's why he wears Indy's jacket 😉
ooh, you have not seen Alien or Aliens. That scene near the end where an Alien popped out of the man's chest, is from Alien, and the actor is the same guy from Alien.
So many hilarious one-liners in this movie. "Whatsa matter Colonel Sanders??? CHICKEN??" I saw this movie as a kid, but didn't get that joke until I grew up.
While the little alien creature didn't have much to do with the plot it was a direct reference to the Alien movie from 1979 ( which I'm sure someone has already pointed out ) and the little creature was doing a spoof of a 1940's cartoon character that goes by the name Michigan J. Frog who sang that exact song in the cartoon. ruclips.net/video/bkjsN-J27aU/видео.html and BTW did you notice a familiar looking ship outside the space diner ? You saw it in Star Wars. Its a real blink and you miss it moment. Great reaction !!!
17:01 "She's already _had_ a nose job. It was a Sweet Sixteen present." 🤔 _Sixteen?_ You got her a nose job when she turned _sixteen?_ I mean, shoot. _I_ would never do that. When you're sixteen, you're still a _kid._ If the operation is not something you'll die _without,_ you can do without it at least until you turn _eighteen._ I mean, at _that_ age, in the eyes of the law, you're an _adult,_ so if you still want a nose job, and you're _my_ daughter, sure. I'll pay for you to have a _nose_ job. But wait 'til you're eighteen. Sixteen is too young.
When Mel Brooks asked George Lucas about making the movie George said he was ok with it but Lone star could not be dressed like Han Solo so Mel said ok I will dress him like Indiana Jones instead.

13:52 Am I the only one who thinks this scene bears a resemblance to _The Wizard of Oz?_ I mean there are _four_ of them. One sort of looks like Tin Man. One sort of looks like Cowardly Lion. They're going to see this character with a very large, far-reaching _social_ stature whose _physical_ stature is not quite so impressive. Is it just me seeing this resemblance?
other movies to see Alien Franchise and planet of the Apes Franchise. See both in release order not newest to oldest or time line order other Star Wars parody things hardware wars robot chicken family guy Phineas and Ferb Muppet Show Muppet Babies Fanboys Jay and Silent Bob Pinkey and the Brain Tiny Toons as well as many RUclips videos and a bunch of things that casually reference it also other fun weddings in movies Three Men and a Little Lady The Graduate Father of the Bride
@@NiaMakiReacts Alien is scary or at least R rated with jump scares. Fear is subjective. It has creatures that can kill but also a hero fighting back and it and Predictor are part of the same story line. yes many shows did parody of Star Wars either for part or all of an episode. Muppet Show and Muppet babies fall in to the "1st trilogy era" where as Family Guy, Robot Chicken and Phineas and Ferb fall in to the "1st 6 movies era" and Lego did all 9 movies

There's a movie and he's the same actor in the movie called alien
All of you who recommend Spaceballs need to tell them to watch Alien and Planet of the Apes first.
26:26 He's right, you know.
wait have you been mixing up C3PO and R2D2's names this whole time?
It was too late when I realized it 😂
Nia , you might have seen Prometheus, that was a prequel? to the Alien movies from the late 1970s
YES! That's it!!!!!!
So many hilarious one-liners in this movie.
"Whatsa matter Colonel Sanders??? CHICKEN??" I saw this movie as a kid, but didn't get that joke until I grew up.
I think when I was watching I just laughed at the sound he made when he responded, but when I was editing I finally got it lol
While the little alien creature didn't have much to do with the plot it was a direct reference to the Alien movie from 1979 ( which I'm sure someone has already pointed out ) and the little creature was doing a spoof of a 1940's cartoon character that goes by the name Michigan J. Frog who sang that exact song in the cartoon. ruclips.net/video/bkjsN-J27aU/видео.html and BTW did you notice a familiar looking ship outside the space diner ? You saw it in Star Wars. Its a real blink and you miss it moment. Great reaction !!!
Coffee - the morning happy juice.
That is true, I only had instant coffee that morning, the horror 😂
You got the droids backwards dot matrix is supposed to be c3po and r2dr is the droid not appearing in this film
Coulda put some brandy in your coffee ya know!
ahhh, I may consider it
@@NiaMakiReacts i was joshing lol! I give the worst advice lol
Irish Coffee to watch a Mel Brooks space comedy, sounds 100% American.;)
11:26 All movies Mel Brooks has actually made.
I think you’re confusing Star Wars droids. C-3P0 did get a parody in this movie, it was R2-D2 that didn’t
yeah I corrected myself in the outro lol
17:01 "She's already _had_ a nose job. It was a Sweet Sixteen present."
🤔 _Sixteen?_ You got her a nose job when she turned _sixteen?_ I mean, shoot. _I_ would never do that. When you're sixteen, you're still a _kid._ If the operation is not something you'll die _without,_ you can do without it at least until you turn _eighteen._
I mean, at _that_ age, in the eyes of the law, you're an _adult,_ so if you still want a nose job, and you're _my_ daughter, sure. I'll pay for you to have a _nose_ job. But wait 'til you're eighteen. Sixteen is too young.
Thanks!
Thanks so much!!
When Mel Brooks asked George Lucas about making the movie George said he was ok with it but Lone star could not be dressed like Han Solo so Mel said ok I will dress him like Indiana Jones instead.
either way it worked out haha!

Love the braids
sorry the curls are in hiding, protective styles for a bit hehe
President Skroob - Brooks spelled backwards.
Nia, if you want a funny movie, try Midnight Madness (1980) i think it was secretly made by George Lucas from Star Wars
oh can you see similarities between them?
Nia, Google Joan Rivers!
That is who C3PO voice was meant to be if it wasn't indeed her for real.
The only part of this i don't like is at the wedding lone Starr does not close his eyes when he kisses vespa, that's just wierd
Spaceballs the comment!
13:52 Am I the only one who thinks this scene bears a resemblance to _The Wizard of Oz?_
I mean there are _four_ of them. One sort of looks like Tin Man. One sort of looks like Cowardly Lion. They're going to see this character with a very large, far-reaching _social_ stature whose _physical_ stature is not quite so impressive.
Is it just me seeing this resemblance?
So you don’t like a BIG HELMET?
Just worried about the fit
Hello there Nia
hey aran!
I fuckin' love John Candy(Barf). John Candy is who Chris Farley was trying super hard to be but failed at it.
😭 😭 😭
No lies detected
Nia, i think you can say ass on tv , so you don't have to bleep it?
youtube just updated some of their terms and they are even backdating prior videos...

😂

So I heard Alien is scary… but I didn’t know so many other shows parodied Star Wars, that’s awesome
@@NiaMakiReacts Alien is scary or at least R rated with jump scares. Fear is subjective. It has creatures that can kill but also a hero fighting back and it and Predictor are part of the same story line.
yes many shows did parody of Star Wars either for part or all of an episode.
Muppet Show and Muppet babies fall in to the "1st trilogy era" where as Family Guy, Robot Chicken and Phineas and Ferb fall in to the "1st 6 movies era" and Lego did all 9 movies
@@NiaMakiReacts Hardware Wars is a fan short that was shown at science fiction conventions. I find it hilarious.
Loved this one as a kid, but the older I get the more cheesy it gets :D
Haha!!! It’s definitely a very silly movie
