Mel Brooks's 1987 parody of the Star Wars trilogy is a jumble of jokes rather than a comic feature, and, predictably, some of those jokes work better than others. The cast, including Brooks in two roles, more or less mimics the principal characters from George Lucas's famous story line, and the director certainly gets a boost from new allies (SCTV graduates Rick Moranis and John Candy) as well as old ones (Dick Van Patten, Dom DeLuise). Watch this and wait for the sporadic inspiration--but don't be surprised if you find yourself yearning for those years when Brooks was a more complete filmmaker (Young Frankenstein). --Tom Keogh
Product Description
John Candy, Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman and Dom DeLuise rocket into orbit in this side-splitting Mel Brooks excursion where good and evil forces grapple in an out-of-this-world galaxy.

 Quality Satire. March 15, 2010
Pastor of Disaster (Wexford, Ireland)
Im no big Mel Brooks fan, by any means, and Im a harsh critic of crapness, but in these days of Scary Movie 12 and whatnot, the high quality spoof is hard to find.
Which makes it well worthwhile engaging your tachyon drive (oh spare me!) and warping (stop it!) back to 1987 and enjoying this very well done spoof, full of classic sci-fi rip offs, but done well. Even the obvious gags are delivered with fun, and Rick Moranis is a towering collossus of comedy in this, as the hilarously double entendre-ed "Dark Helmet". I often go for years without watching this, and then dig it out on VHS and watch it, and I always find it very good.
Whenever I see Bill Pullman, (he is always the President in things, well after that bloke who was in 6 Feet Under as the step dad, and Morgan Freeman if the President is black), I always think hehe Loooooone Star... great stuff.
PS - I had this idea for a film where Barack Obama gets entombed in concrete but I didnt want to set a president. Ho Ho. Now THATS humour.

i thought the imaging is much better than it was on vhs and the price was great too. This movie is much better to have on dvd.

I love Mel Brooks movies, so this is going to be a positive review. I continually use lines from this movie, like "I'm surrounded by ***holes". I would recommend this movie to other comedy lovers. I even had a copy sent to a friend because he's never had the enjoyment of seeing this particular movie.

SPaceballs is a classic. I love it. No matter how many times I watch it - it gets me to laugh aloud every time. Enjoy!
