Watched this movie a hundred times when i was a kid. Great Movie with classic Mel Brooks Humor. Like when he dropped the 15, or wait 10 Commandments in History of the World. Another Classic. Blazzing Saddles, High Anxiety, Robin Hood:Men in Tights, The Dracula Movie with Leslie Nielson. All stupidly funny. Wish he would get off the producers musicals and do at least one more movie before he kicks the bucket. Have to wait n see.
I'm 16 and my friend forced me to watch this movie. I did not laugh once. He turned it off halfway through and told me he just wanted me to see how horrible it was. I agree with him. It was so agonizing to sit through. To answer your question about whether or not this movie appeals to the younger generation, yes, I've talked to a lot of people who liked it. But I absolutely hated it. Guess I'm just not one of those people.
After years and years of people quoting this movie I finally tried it and I dunno I couldn't sit through it. A couple of times I laughed but it just didn't catch my attention :/ I can understand why people like though.
I've rediscovered this one thanks to Max, who can't get enough of it...!! This is a sweet parody, and just timeless feel-good-ness. Thanks for this vid!
Spaceballs was absolutely hilarious the first time I saw it. I was in my early teens, so I could understand most of what was going on, even if I didn't see the direct references to the Star Wars series.
The second time I watched it, however, I was severely disappointed when it didn't make me laugh as hard and often as the first time. I had seen all of the jokes before, and I knew what was coming, so I think, for me, it was doomed to fail.
I feel ya on the generation thing guys! Spaceballs is just too much of a classic spoof. Nothing is going to beat it. Too original. I was just reminded as to how funny it was watching this preview, I'm going to watch it now.
I'm 16 years old, and I first watched this movie when I like ten. And there is only 2 movies that I can think of that tops this. Well at least comedy wise and thosr two movies are The Princess Bride, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail, you guys need to review Monty Python!!!!!
Why didn't you guys mention John Candy?!? Shame shame....
This has been one of my favourite movies for years. Everytime I watch it with friends they yell at me for quoting it all the way through. Hahah! I love all of Mel Brooks' movies. <3
I loved this as a kid! It was my intro to Star Wars and holds a very special place in my heart. Haven't seen it in a while and would not mind seen it again... and again and again and again and again and ... :)
i saw this when i was about 16 long before i was a starwars fan and i still found it hilarious. now that im super sci fi geek its a million times funnier
and i think moranis' wife passed and he retired after that. its a shame hes a genius. and i believe canadian ;) i hope stuckmann sees this ;p
I sure do miss John Candy. He never failed to give me a good laugh and he did it with a lot of heart. I loved him on SCTV and it was great to watch him do so well in movies. One of the great comics of our time.
I love Spaceballs a lot, but my favorite Mel Brooks film is Young Frankenstein, do you think you can review that movie? Anyways, great review keep up the good work.
Pizza the Hut got locked in his car and ate himself LOL. I'm 16, I saw this movie when I was about 13 and I laughed my ass off the whole time. The 4min long shot of the ship at the beginning was the funniest thing in the world and the best way to start a Star Wars spoof.
Ello chums. Great to revisit you guys! Couldn't pass up my absolute favorite classic comedy. I definitely think it still holds up. You gotta have respect for the Classics, though. I've shown Spaceballs to some friends of mine before and they thought it was "too slow"... I wanted to due that thing Dark Helmet does to his one "asshole" soldier and use my Schwartz ring on their balls for their insolence.
You sometimes forget how much Spoof movies used to kick ass. Absolutely right, timeless! Makes me want to watch it right now haha. Mel Brooks is genius.
Yes! Best spoof of the best trilogy of all time. Though I must say I'm also a fan of a lot of Mel Brooks movies (men in tights, blazing saddles, and so on). I've been watching Spaceballs about as long as I can remember. I also agree that it may be harder for the younger generation to be able to identify with the "old school" kind of humor it shows. I myself was only about 3 when it hit theaters and my age group probably bridges the gap on that.
In 1999 when the Phantom Meance was released, apparently Spaceball saw a resurgence of video rentals to which Bill Pullman responded "Really? the force is more powerful than I realized.
@DjHamHam411 fashion comedy. Absoutly love this film and memorized a whole bunch of quotes. I remember when I was merely 4 years old and my parents let me watch it because my parents made me a star wars geek. Visual gags were the best. And there is no comparison to today's teenage comedies. (excluding a few) we've been jammed! Strawberry?
This is one of my all time favorite movies. A lot of Mel Brooks' movies are, but this one really is fantastic. I first saw it when I was probably ten and still love it, and showed it to my 14yo brother recently; he ended up loving it too.
WITHOUT A DOUBT SPACEBALLS IS TIMELESS! I'm 15 years old and I've grown up with that movie since I was what... 6 I guess? It's without a doubt the greatest parody/spoof movie ever made! Mel Brooks is the ONLY one qualified to make parodies! But no, what do we get these days... Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer shit. I wanna use the shartz to make those two disapear, that's for sure. Anyway, yes this movie is timeless... countless gags to the point that I don't think I can pick a favorite. =)
I went on a 6-hour car ride with my friends and our car had a DVD player and one DVD-Spaceballs. Even though we had all seen it before, we watched it 4 times on that 12-hour round trip ride and still laughed at it the whole time! (Mostly at new jokes we didn't catch the first time around)
Sapceballs rocks, I seen this for the first time when I was 11 and laughed my ass off. The proper "father parody" line is "I'm your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate". Anyone else know the subtle joke of that quote?
Im fiveteen, and i used to watch this when i was 6 and up, even watching it now, its so awesome so at least MY generation still likes it, aswell with the old star wars trilogy, instead of the crappy new one
I grew up in the wrong generation... the spoofs i got were the scary movies and all the other stupid spoofs that were made by the same group of idiots. Say what you want about Mel Brooks, the crap my generation came out with cant even compare.
Why couldn't i of grown up when Lucas and Spielberg were at there best? Sure great movies still come out of every generation, they just dont seem to have the same magic they used to.
Come on guys the proper quote is "I am your father's brother's sister's uncle's former roommate." "What does that make us?" "Absolutely nothing, which is what your going to be."
First let me tell you I'm one of the biggest Star Wars fans you'll ever know. That being said, I don't find this movie funny at all. To me this is just the 80's equivalent to Epic Movie or one of those other shitty spoof movies that have come out recently. People say it's good mainly because of nostalgia and because it's old.
It does kind of beg the question...what movie gets a 5/5? I mean, you guys semmed to really enjoy this one (as did I), so it would seem that it deserves 5/5. Just curious
I was born in 1995. I remember when I was little (say 8 or 9), I saw Spaceballs for the first time in a Hotel. Do you have any idea how much I loved that movie? So yes, it does hold up for "newer" generations. It's a fantastic movie! It's awesome when a movie can be a parody yet also respectful to it's source material, and still hold it's own ground as an awesome film by itself and not haft to rely on the inside jokes (although it has so many of those.) 4/5
This film is actually hilarious. I remember watching it for the first time when I was really young and being taken aback when they used the word 'fuck'. Seriously, though, such a classic spoof! I think it has to be the most quotable film ever... The "combing the desert" scene gets me everytime, so simple but absolute genius!
I don't know how I always forgot to watch this movie...but now that you guys decided to review it then god damn may nothing stop me from watching it THIS weekend!
I feel bad because I have not responded in any significant way to a Mel Brooks movie. That said, it's been a long, long, long, long time since I've seen one, so maybe I need to go back and give his films another try with a fresh perspective. I remember seeing this movie a million years ago with my buddy Matt, and he loved it, and I just didn't respond to it. I realize I'm the one who sucks.
I'm not a big fan of Star Wars to tell you the truth, but I always enjoyed watching Spaceballs as a kid. Haven't seen it in probably 20 years. Must rent it now. A big shoutout to Michael Winslow who's also in this film.
I saw it a couple of years ago for the first time and didn't really enjoy it, thought the jokes were too obvious and juvenile. Although some of the best ones might have been ruined by other star wars parodies i've seen that had very similar gags but were probably made after.
Whilst I had never watched star wars I was aware of Vader and a few key Star Wars points. I understood Spaceballs was a parody but the comedy was heightened after seeing Star Wars. If I'm deeply honest I preferred Spaceballs to it's source material. I'm also odd in the fact that I saw all 6 star wars in their actual order starting with phantom menace. Maybe that's why I never LOVED it and to this day consider it fairly overrated. Although I'm not a Trekie I preferred it to Star Wars.
I first watched it when I was 15 and didn't really enjoy it. I watched it again two months ago (I'm 24 now) and still didn't like it. I got all the jokes and why they were supposed to be funny, but I found most of them juvenile, which overwhelmed the few great jokes. I may have enjoyed it more at an earlier age. My favorite spoof movie, to this day, is the first Austin Powers. Spaceballs probably had twice as many jokes but quality is better than quantity.
I'm not from that generation but I watched this movie back in 2000 when I was 10 years old. I was in tears from laughter. This is a classic for me. I adore this film
@GoldenFlither15 Glad you love it, not sure what the next classic will be, oh wait! This just reminded me. ELLIS has never seen Shawshank Redemption and we mentioned this in the review but it was left out. That will most likely be next.
I was born '91 and I love this movie. I grew up watching Star Wars (original trilogy) then the new movies came out. I think I saw this movie in grade 8 or 9 and me and all my friends loved it.
Showed the movie to my boss who had never seen it, we watched it in 04', and he hated it. I personally still the movie, but for my boss it was just too dated. Best if watched in the 80's.
@schmoesknow He actually said that he was dumber for having watched it. For a guy who likes a good comedy I was surprised by his reaction. For him at least it was one of those "you had to be there" things.
it is relly funny i love it

This film is actually hilarious. I remember watching it for the first time when I was really young and being taken aback when they used the word 'fuck'. Seriously, though, such a classic spoof! I think it has to be the most quotable film ever... The "combing the desert" scene gets me everytime, so simple but absolute genius!

My favorite line from the movie is, "That's all we needed, a Druish princess."

I feel bad because I have not responded in any significant way to a Mel Brooks movie. That said, it's been a long, long, long, long time since I've seen one, so maybe I need to go back and give his films another try with a fresh perspective. I remember seeing this movie a million years ago with my buddy Matt, and he loved it, and I just didn't respond to it. I realize I'm the one who sucks.

It had its moments, but I found the jokes and the "yoda" pretty lame. Love Star wars though... Ghostbusters is much funnier

I'm not a big fan of Star Wars to tell you the truth, but I always enjoyed watching Spaceballs as a kid. Haven't seen it in probably 20 years. Must rent it now. A big shoutout to Michael Winslow who's also in this film.

@Mr96tears Yeah Winslow is great "We've been jammed sir."

I saw it a couple of years ago for the first time and didn't really enjoy it, thought the jokes were too obvious and juvenile. Although some of the best ones might have been ruined by other star wars parodies i've seen that had very similar gags but were probably made after.

@ethanflys That is exactly what I was wondering if some people would feel if they saw it too late

forgot how awesome this movie was. I seen it before I saw star wars and still found it hilarious.

Wow that is a first, you saw this before Star Wars? How was it watching Star Wars after seeing this?
schmoesknow 9 months ago
Whilst I had never watched star wars I was aware of Vader and a few key Star Wars points. I understood Spaceballs was a parody but the comedy was heightened after seeing Star Wars. If I'm deeply honest I preferred Spaceballs to it's source material. I'm also odd in the fact that I saw all 6 star wars in their actual order starting with phantom menace. Maybe that's why I never LOVED it and to this day consider it fairly overrated. Although I'm not a Trekie I preferred it to Star Wars.

I first watched it when I was 15 and didn't really enjoy it. I watched it again two months ago (I'm 24 now) and still didn't like it. I got all the jokes and why they were supposed to be funny, but I found most of them juvenile, which overwhelmed the few great jokes. I may have enjoyed it more at an earlier age. My favorite spoof movie, to this day, is the first Austin Powers. Spaceballs probably had twice as many jokes but quality is better than quantity.

I'm not from that generation but I watched this movie back in 2000 when I was 10 years old. I was in tears from laughter. This is a classic for me. I adore this film

Oh, wow, 'Princess Bride' AND 'Spaceballs'? Two of my favourite comedies of the '80s. Next up, 'Ghostbusters' or 'Airplane'? :)
I guess I count as your generation; 23 years old? Not certain, but it definitely holds up watching it now. I still watch it and laugh.

@GoldenFlither15 Glad you love it, not sure what the next classic will be, oh wait! This just reminded me. ELLIS has never seen Shawshank Redemption and we mentioned this in the review but it was left out. That will most likely be next.

I was born '91 and I love this movie. I grew up watching Star Wars (original trilogy) then the new movies came out. I think I saw this movie in grade 8 or 9 and me and all my friends loved it.

Showed the movie to my boss who had never seen it, we watched it in 04', and he hated it. I personally still the movie, but for my boss it was just too dated. Best if watched in the 80's.

@ramesis55 He HATED it? Wow, I can see not getting the humor but man this movie does not deserve hate.
schmoesknow 9 months ago
@schmoesknow He actually said that he was dumber for having watched it. For a guy who likes a good comedy I was surprised by his reaction. For him at least it was one of those "you had to be there" things.
