"Prepare ship for ludicrous speed! Fasten all seatbelts, seal all entrances and exits, close all shops in the mall, cancel the three ring circus, secure all animals in the zoo!" - Colonel Sandurz
Release Date: June 24, 1987
Studio: Mel Brooks
Director: MGM
Starring: Mel Brooks, Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, John Candy, Daphne Zuniga, George Wyner, Joan Rivers, Dick Van Patten
Plot Summary: In this spoof of STAR WARS and a handful of other sci-fi flicks from the 1970s and '80s, space-bum-for-hire Lone Starr (Pullman) and his half-dog/half-man sidekick, Barf (Candy), must rescue a spoiled Druish princess (Zuniga) from the evil Lord Dark Helmet (Moranis) in time to pay off Pizza the Hut. With SPACEBALLS, director Mel Brooks is at it again, this time with a science-fiction parody with all the blue-screen special effects and weird makeup (though in this film, things are always slightly off-kilter and unpolished). Here, maverick space travelers set out to save the planet Druidia, which is being harassed by the Spaceballs, a sinister group attempting to pilfer Druidia's air resources. Among the many gags and jokes is a hilarious parody of a classic scene from ALIEN. Mel Brooks himself makes one of his funniest acting appearances as Yogurt, a send-up of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK's Yoda.
Buy the movie!

Sir John Harrington (1561-1612)
Spaceballs was hilarious. It's been a REALLY long time since I've watched it (at least 10 years), but I still remember a couple of hilarious lines:
"I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate."
"I see your schwartz is as big as mine!"
Hahaha, classic.
"Give me one gun, and I'm Superman.
Give me two guns, and I am God."
"She's gone from suck to blow!"
Sorry, somebody had to quote it!
