Spaceballs - Beginning

[Chiellemoos]

I bet even the model was too long for... erm.... comfort?

What I mean to say is: Does anyone know how long the model was?

[ravenwda007]

I wonder what the power to weight ratio of that thing is? Could be 20hp I just don't know.

[mothshade]

Almost as big as the JMC Red Dwarf.

[SeanTPoindexter]

For about a minute there I thought this was an episode of Battlestar: Galactica.

Too soon?

[metallicaerlend]

challenge - build in minecraft

[ChasetheKraut]

imagine if that was lifesized!

[QwertyAzerty2009]

...dvorak 9

[AngeCord]

I read that they only built a part of this ship, then filmed it from different angels and stitched it together on tape.

[denteck]

oh man when I just hear the fucking first bit of this mysterious sound I start laughing :D:D

[bobtime50]

oh i get it now :P

[SivakD]

One has to wonder if the model they built for the ship still exists.

[v3n3ziator]

actually the there is a spoof in this.

The front of the ship looks like a shark with vins and the music is from jaws.

[Vayshen]

...and there's only one bathroom.

ouch

[sunlight338]

on and on

[maxerAA]

I love how subtle this humor is, I was watching the opening with a couple friends once and they didn't get it.

[Magnolia296]

Spaceballs is real masterpiece - funny, interesting, intriguing and very entertaining. Visual effects were awesome too.This parody on Star Wars, Alien, Planet of Apes became my favorite spoof film (along with Galaxy Quest). Bill Pullman, Daphne Zuniga, John Candy, Mel Brooks, Rick Moranis and all others did a brilliant job. Too bad they didn't make a sequel. That-time Spoof films had nice jokes while our modern ones only can use strong language, black humour & sex. No originality these days

[bigfilmhat]

@Magnolia296

You haven't seen the last of Rick Moranis I tell ya.

[MrQueenie]

Haha, love how the orchestra starts playing, but pauses every time because they realize the scene isn't overXD

[therealKINDLE]

Apparently, The Strings Get Louder coz the orchestra is getting frustrated with the ship's seemingly endless length! This is Just SOOOO Funny! I Wish it would have gone on for 5 Times Longer! To see the Looks on People's Faces.. Oh I think I've just Wet myself! So Funny!

[Freddran]

If you look at the beginning of New hope... there is one shot where the Star destroyer actually looks veeery long

[kuribayashi84]

@Freddran Yeah, and THAT Scene was actually inspired by a similar one from the Classic "2001: A Space Odyssey" where the Ship also took about a minute to pass by. :D

[Nicro327]

*Spaceship gets shot*

*Engineer screams from heaven: DAMNIT I BUILT THAT, MY CHILDREN, MY GRAND CHILDREN, MY GREAT GRAND CHILDREN, AND MY CHILDREN'S GREAT CHILDREN ASDF*

[DmxBloodline]

lmfao!~!!

[FramedHamProductions]

Mel Brooks has gone on the record that he would've had this go on for two hours if thought he could get away with it

[freekingfighter]

give me that ship

[MarcoSuperBollo]

Gotta buy me that ship!!!!

[Soledity]

I saw some of the first attempts to build it. It looked quite interesting even then

[PlantOParadise]

1 Person wishes he had a penis as long as this ship.

[AnimeFanatic5602]

@PlantOParadise It was President Skroob. He was pissed that he had to run the whole length of this ship just to get to the bridge.

[PlantOParadise]

@AnimeFanatic5602 Lulz :P

[PlantOParadise]

Shit advertisements

[Hisotrygeek94]

Yeah, I guess that's better, shorter too! :P

[700nitroexpress1000]

And this thing can go to ludicrous speed!

[gelchert]

The orchestra's getting annoyed...

[ernestonp]

Once, I took a poop as long as this

[Hisotrygeek94]

Would've been funnier if halfway through this sequence, there was a sign that said "Yeah, it's a bigass ship, ya got a problem with that?"

[Mrster]

@Hisotrygeek94

Nope. That would ironically be even more Family Guy-ish, and suck more.

[Hisotrygeek94]

@Mrster Hm... that's true, it kinda DOES sound like something out of "Blue Harvest".

[rathraven1313]

@Hisotrygeek94 More like "Long, isn't it?" true Tex Avery style.

[DreadLordBalnazaar]

Originally, Mel Brooks wanted this fuck of a ship to be EVEN BIGGER! But then it would take up most of the damn movie! HAHAHHAHAHAAAAH! Imagine: 15 times longer!!!! Over 20 Minutes!

[Hunterdew]

@DreadLordBalnazaar Or the length of the entire movie, which was one of Brook's first ideas concerning the ship.

[Hisotrygeek94]

ROFL

As Wedge Antillies said, "Look at the size of that thing!"

[vonbontee]

@Hisotrygeek94 Cut the chatter, Red Two!

[RKOmovies]

my favorate part :L

[Tanvan180]

The Badyear blimp

[droidekabakugan1986]

that...ship...is...HUGE! It must've taken eons to build that thing!

[jambalolk]

Watched this movie with 4 friends and this part made us lol for like 5 minutes straight xD

It keeps going and going...

[NaturizedOnline]

Makes Star Destroyers look like nothing ROFL

[gakkerout]

What makes this scene even better is the fact that it comes up again later on. President Skroob has to run to make the scene, otherwise the movie would end before he got there!

[apexrogers]

best ship ever, it just goes on and on

[RSbigdeeno1]

lmao funny as hell, i watched this at a sleep over there was like 2 of us laughing at it and a couple who were like all mature about it haha

[Exothermos]

A classic scene that perfectly sets the tone of the movie. What a model!

[CyberSmokeProduction]

"We Brake for Nobody!"

that is one hell of a model. I wonder how many battleship kits they dissected to build that thing.

Nobody fucks with Spaceball 1.

[matterbater]

Except LONE STAR!

[Slingmaster574]

holy crap thats funny

[XmetaI4everX]

Lmao.

[poochyboy666]

lol
