Customer Ratings & Reviews

Not quite Blazing Saddles but enough spoofs to laugh throughout.

Good spoof of sci fi movies. Beware of the language.

Still corny humor but not in my top 4 of Mel Brooks films.

Sometime you just have to see the humorous spinoffs.

good movie recommended purchase for all to buy and watch

This is a movie that is just tons of fun to watch!

Mel Brooks will do anything for a laugh. Unfortunately, what he does in Spaceballs, a misguided parody of the Star Wars adventures, isn't very funny.

I accidentally bought the wrong DVD. It arrived in great condition.

WHAT DID I BUY THIS FOR? THIS IS REAL BAD FILM. I COULD NOT LAUGH AT ALL.

boring movie old dumb humor not impressed at all with it

Great Movie. Worth the 4K upgrade/Inside of case and disc were both slimed with grease. Unplayable till I cleaned them.

Bought this for young grandsons. Was Not appropriate. Adult language. Should have a PG-13 rating.

This movie is not worth your well earned money. Don't buy it!

Did not like this movie and did not finish watching.

this movie sucked then and it sucks now--don't ask me why i bought it

Crude humor did not finish watching it was that bad.

If you love Star Wars (I certainly do) then you need to see this movie! Spaceballs is a hilarious parody of the greatest sci-fi saga the big screen has ever seen. The characters are great from Dark Helmet (the Darth Vader parody) to Lone Star (a parody of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, with a little Indiana Jones thrown in for good measure) even Pizza the Hutt (Jabba the Hutt). Each character is a brilliantly concieved parody of his or her Star Wars counterpart (no Boba Fett parody though). Spaceballs parodies not just Star Wars, but also Star Trek, Alien, Transformers, Fantastic Voayage, Jaws, even Lawrence of Arabia and Wizard of Oz. There's even a brief Planet of the Apes parody. The movie is well-written and well-directed. Mel Brooks put together a story where the gags make perfect sense within the context of the film, even when the characters are talking to the audience. The evil Dark Helmet rushes to capture Princess Vespa (Princess Leia) and the heroic Lone Star races to her rescue. Along the way, we are treated to a whole series of hilarious gags. My favorites are when Dark Helmet and Col. Sanderz (not a parody of any Star Wars character) are watching Spaceballs on video and when the villains capture the heores' stunt doubles. I also like the scene where Dark Helmet is playing with Spaceballs action figures. The extras include a nice retrospective documentary on Spaceballs and even a scene from the movie shown in Dinkese and Mawgese (it makes more sense after you see the movie). There is one joke in one very short scene I did not care for (when we hear of the names of the bridgecrew on Dark Helmet's ship), but that does not affect my enjoyment of the movie. For a great parody of a great series of movies, check out Spaceballs. May the Schwartz be with you!

I remember watching this movie when I was a kid and not really understanding all the jokes. The movie just basically makes fun of a few different movies prior to it's release namely Star Wars series. The actors are so good at acting like bad actors it's what makes the movie so fun. Every scene they're is always something ridiculous and fun. Most of all it's something that you can watch with the kids and they won't get even half the jokes / banter. But it would be a good time for the adults at the same time. If you liked movies like: -Airplane -Blazing Saddles -Any sort of spoof movie Then you will love Spaceballs. Had to own it on BluRay as this is definitely one of the most important part of my collection and hopefully yours. You'll love it, and the price. I sound like a commercial at the end there eh? lol

If you love Star Wars, then you need to see this movie! Spaceballs is a brilliant of the greatest sci-fi saga in movie history. All of the characters, from Dark Helmet to Yogurt is a brilliantly conceived parody of their respective Star Wars character. The gags all work great (except for one minor one that I don't care for but does not bother me) and make perfect sense in the movie, even when they are talking to the camera. Mel Brooks weaves a tale where gags and situational humor blend together seamlessly. I loved the part where the bad guys were watching Spaceballs on video. The HD transfer looks great, a marked improvement over the DVD. The extras include documentaries on the making of the movie and a nice tribute to John Candy. This is an essential Blu-Ray for any sci-fi fan, especially if you are a Star Wars fan! May the Schwartz be with you!

Just a Funny movie. Not one of Mel brooks best but still funny
