Spaceballs Description
In this spoof of STAR WARS and a handful of other
sci-fi flicks from the 1970s and '80s, space-bum-for-hire Lone Starr
(Bill Pullman) and his half-dog/half-man sidekick, Barf (John
Candy), must rescue a spoiled Druish princess (Daphne Zuniga) from
the evil Lord Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) in time to pay off Pizza
the Hut. With SPACEBALLS, director Mel Brooks is at it again, this
time with a science-fiction parody with all the blue-screen special
effects and weird makeup (though in this film, things are always
slightly off-kilter and unpolished). Here, maverick space travelers
set out to save the planet Druidia, which is being harassed by the
Spaceballs, a sinister group attempting to pilfer Druidia's air
resources. Among the many gags and jokes is a hilarious parody of a
classic scene from ALIEN. Mel Brooks himself makes one of his
funniest acting appearances as Yogurt, a send-up of THE EMPIRE
STRIKES BACK's Yoda.
"I'm my own best friend."--Barf (John
Candy), half-man/half-dog
"May the schwartz be with you."--Yogurt (Mel Brooks)
Clyde Leiberman cowrote the SPACEBALLS theme with
director Mel Brooks and Jeff Pascetto. (Brooks often cowrites the
music for his films.)
"...An ambitious sendup....Gentle, harmless
satire than occasionally has real bite..."
"...Amusing sight gags..."
"...Often underrated is this comedy's dead-on
production design..." |
