Synopsis

Spaceballs
A space bum helps rescue a princess from an evil overlord with the help of a benevolent elder in this Star Wars send-up written and directed by Mel Brooks. Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) and his half-man, half-dog co-pilot, Barf the Mawg (John Candy), are content to scour the galaxy living the easy life. But they reluctantly come to the rescue when Druish Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) is threatened by the evil Lord Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis), who wants to steal all of the air from her planet, Druidia. Trapped on a harsh desert world with Vespa and her robot chaperone, Dot Matrix (voice of Joan Rivers), Lone Starr and Barf are helpless to prevent Helmet from kidnapping the girl. But assistance arrives in the form of Yogurt (Brooks), a wizard who turns Lone Starr on to a mysterious power known as The Schwartz. Catching up with Helmet just as he's transforming his spaceship into a giant vacuum cleaner in orbit around Druidia, the reluctant heroes stage a dramatic showdown. Although it borrows most of its plot from the Star Wars series, Spaceballs also pokes fun at Star Trek, Snow White, and Planet of the Apes -- as well as the entire videocassette and movie marketing industries. The large supporting cast includes Dick Van Patten, Jim J. Bullock, and the voice of Dom DeLuise. John Hurt makes a cameo in a parody of the exploding chest scene he played in Alien. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

One of the top 5 comedies you must watch.

Spaceballs is timeless. Even though they would not be able to get away with half of of the stuff in today's sterile, politically correct world without offending someone. Mel Brooks is a genius.

Great laughs even 20+yrs later

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

Great movie case and extras inside!
October 16, 2015
The first one I ordered had a dent in the bottom of it because Best Buy has some of the worst packaging procedures of any one I order Steelbooks from. Quite a few come in dented or scratched. Anyway, I returned the first one then reordered it and the next one came in dent free! WOOHOO!! The extra pictures and stickers are a great bonus for a classic favorite of mine.
