The farce is with you in this "uproarious salute to science fiction" (The Hollywood Reporter) that teams comedy legend Mel Brooks with an all-star cast of cutups including John Candy (Splash), Rick Moranis (Ghostbusters) and Bill Pullman (Ruthless People)! When the evil Dark Helmet (Moranis) attempts to steal all the air from planet Druidia, a determined Druish Princess (Daphne Zuniga), a clueless rogue (Pullman) and a half-man/half-dog creature who's his own best friend (Candy) set out to stop him! But with the forces of darkness closing in on them at ludicrous speed, they'll need the help of a wise imp named Yogurt (Brooks) and the mystical power of "The Schwartz" to bring peaceand merchandising rightsto the entire galaxy!

A comedy classic!

In a galaxy not so far away, a ruthless race of beings called "Spaceballs" with their leaders President Scroob (Mel Brooks) and wicked little runt Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) have come up with a diabolical plan to take all the fresh air away from Planet Druidia. A runaway princess named Vespa (Daphne Zungia) is rescued by a stubbon but lovable space captain named Lonestarr (Bill Pullman) with his faithful half-man half-dog sidekick Barf (John Candy) with sassy robot Dot Matrix (Voiced by Joan Rivers) all join forces as Lonestarr must learn the ways of the Schwartz by wiseman Yogurt (Mel Brooks) then try to save Druidia.

Excellent Sci-fi satire from parody mastermind Mel Brooks is one of the coolest and best movies he's ever done! i love how he makes fun of the Star Wars Trilogy, "Alien", "Planet of the Apes" and other popular sci-fi movies of the time. The film co-stars George Wyner as Colnel Sanders, Dick Van Patten as King Roland, Michael Winslow ("Police Academy"), Dom DeLuis as the voice of Pizza the Hut and even an appearence by John Hurt. This movie is a great 80's cult classic with the best laughs of it's decade thanks to the magic of Mel Brooks who always makes pure comedy gold.

This DVD edition has excellent picture and sound quality with great extras like audio commentary, featurettes even a tribute to John Candy, still and photo galleries, Trailers, Film flubs, Spaceballs The Triva Game, Spacequotes and Storyboard-to-film comparisions.

Good mindless humor

This isn't as good as his earlier films IMO, but that doesn't mean its not a good movie. Nothing academy award winning, but its not bad. Sure there are some corny jokes..ok, a lot of corny jokes, but if you don't find at least one part funny there is something wrong with you. If you liked Robin Hood: Men In Tights you will definitely like this one.

A great product

This movie is everything I could have hoped for. It is a classic Mel Brooks' spoof movie that humorously mimics Star Wars. This movie stars a lot of well-known actors such as Rick Moranis(Dark Helmet), John Candy(Barf), Bill Pullman(Lone Starr), and Mel Brooks(President Skroob). If you like Mel Brooks, then you will definetly enjoy this movie.

Hilarious -- this is the best Star Wars episode

What a great parody on a lot of different movies. I enjoy watching it just to get a good laugh. It's simply hilarious, but it's not for those who take Star Wars religiously. They'll undoubtedly be offended at it. I'd cut out a couple of obscene scenes, but other than that, it's pretty clean and simply funny.

fun

It's probably funny because I'm a Star Wars fanboy. I'll admit to it. Don't expect everything from this movie and you won't be disappointed. It's just simple fun, not to be too overly analyzed. Way better than those damn Scary (or Epic, or Superhero, or Not Another Teen) Movies.
