SpaceBalls - 1987
May the farce be with you in this hysterically funny space oddity, created by comic genius Mel Brooks, that will send you into hyperspace with fits of laughter! Lampooning everything from Star Wars to Star Trek, this outrageous send-up of epic sci-fi movies is full of cosmic crazies who score "eight trillion on the laugh-o-meter" (Gene Shalit, NBC-TV)
Fearless - and clueless - space heroes Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) and his half man/half dog sidekick Barf (John Candy) wage interstellar warfare to free princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) from the evil clutches of Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis). On the way to the rescue - in their Winnebago - they confront the huge, gooey Pizza The Hutt (Voice of Dom De Luise), sassy robot Dot Matrix (voice of Joan Rivers) and a wise little creature named Yogurt (Brooks), who teaches them the mystical power of "The Schwartz" in order to bring peace - and merchandising rights - to the entire galaxy!
Spaceballs is another Mel Brooks masterpeice. The only time I heard the term mogg outside of a Final Fantasy game! this hilarious film is will have you laughing to ludicrous speed! All the subtle humor makes this a movie you can watch over and over and still pick up new things. Any sci-fi fan will love this flick, the best sci-fi spoof I have seen to date. Mel has done it again.
5 out of 5 tankards.
