Anthony is right about one thing: Spaceballs SUCKS

[Finger Trigger Attachment]

"May the scwarz be with you" ha ha, kill yourself.

"Dark Helmet." Dark Helmet? Dark Helmet? Are you fucking kidding me?

It's a fucking terrible movie and its fans should be burned to death.

 

[Riccardo Bosi]

It is shit and of course DeRosa liked it. Worst thing Mel Brooks did.

 

[Peckas]

It’s painful to watch just all around not good it makes you angry with its awfulness.

 

[Opesterino]

the cartoon was fucking terrible.

 

[TheGhostOfAbeVigoda]

It is retarded goofy shit. I probably wouldn't watch it again but I have fond memories of it. It's like MAD magazine level lazy jokes but I liked MAD magazine when I was a kid too.

I never found Mel Brooks all that funny. Maybe his stuff was considered the peak of comedy back then but it is an absolute chore to sit through now. Kind of felt like people figured out that his flicks were absolute shlock in the 90s, which is why those movies were panned (Robin Hood and Dracula).

History of the World was pretty funny when I saw it as an 11 year old...I remember watching it with my dad and when Gregory Hines' character said "Im from Ethiopia" my dad was like "wow for real he looks Ethiopian" lol.

 

[Turk February]

Never been able to sit through it all the way. Probably one of the worst things I've ever seen and I've watched video of Ukrainian thugs beating a homeless man to death with a hammer and screw driver.

I liked some of his older movies, they were OK. They were always really Jewy, but then they kept getting Jewier and Jewier, and it was just too much. But Brooks always seemed like a decent enough kike, as far as kikes go.

@Anthony's Lime Rickey comment?

 

[Fuck]

Spaceballs was hysterical when I was a child but I really haven't wanted to watch it since.

 

[Queefer Sutherland]

Mel Brooks films live and die by the actors that bring the roles to life. I'd say it was one of John Candy's most useless performances.

 

[DeadWithoutMyDavid]

Haha, Pizza the Hut. Like Jabba but a popular restaurant chain.

@Anthony's Lime Rickey comment?

spaceballs not his best work, blazing saddles is, tis my peace

 

[Cumtown Fags]

Spaceballs? What am I, 5?

 

[Imager]

The Druish Princess!

Still, the black dudes combing the desert is kind of funny.

I'll agree the 80's and 90's output sucked. They had moments, but the consistency wasn't there at all. In fact, anytime someone says they love "Robin Hood Men In Tights", I lose massive respect for them.

But you're an imbecile if you think his classics aren't good, because they still are. Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and Silent Movie are his three best films. The Producers is good but I do find it to be overrated. I think a lot of the former three (minus Silent Movie) hold up because of Gene Wilder, whom himself was a gifted comedian and one of the few people who would challenge Mel.

So if you want to say Mel on his own may not be that talented? I'll give you the leeway.

 

[TaintofGeorge]

Arthur 'Killer" Kane from the New York Dolls was in it for a couple of seconds if I remember correctly.


I don't remember correctly it was Innerspace.

The biggest problem with Spaceballs, or at least one of them, is that Bill Pullman and Daphne Zuniga are terrible comedic actors. Neither one are great period, but their wheelhouse is rom-coms and trashy tv dramas. You need a specific sensibility to lead a Mel Brooks movie and they ain’t got it.

Bill Pullman is an extremely forgettable actor. I bet his agent says "Who?" when his name comes up. Spaceballs, Independence Day, I dare anyone to name a third movie he's in off the top of their head.
