Huge day for your most annoying friend. Spaceballs, which was one of our original spoof films, took inspiration from classics like Star Wars, had music that reminded us of Jaws, and had Rick Moranis in a big helmet. Now, it’s back!
If you grew up a comedy fan, you knew Mel Brooks’ movies. I grew up watching Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, and Spaceballs with my family and see Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) take on the galaxy was just as thrilling as watching Darth Vader do so in Star Wars. But I love so much about this franchise. Do I love Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) because it is just a new Han Solo? Probably but hey, that’s okay. Now, I get MORE!
