Spaceballs


Spaceballs is one of my favorite Mel Brooks movies. The movie is simply genius

Merchandising, merchandising, where the real money from the movie is made. Spaceballs-the T-shirt, Spaceballs-the Coloring Book, Spaceballs-the Lunch box, Spaceballs-the Breakfast Cereal, Spaceballs-the Flame Thrower.

Dark Helmet: Before you die there is something you should know about us, Lone Star.
Lone Starr: What?
Dark Helmet: I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.
Lone Starr: What's that make us?
Dark Helmet: Absolutely nothing! Which is what you are about to become.Dark Helmet: What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie?
Colonel Sandurz: Now. You're looking at now sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now.
Dark Helmet: What happened to then?
Colonel Sandurz: We passed then.
Dark Helmet: When?
Colonel Sandurz: Just now. We're at now, now.
Dark Helmet: Go back to then!
Colonel Sandurz: When?

Colonel Sandurz: Just now.
Dark Helmet: When will then be now?
Colonel Sandurz: Soon.
Dark Helmet: How soon?
Video Operator: Sir!

Dark Helmet: What?
Video Operator: We've identified their location.
Dark Helmet: Where?

  2. For an older movie, it still holds up. Give it a try.

  3. An "older" movie? Egad, I feel ancient now.

    Last night at Target in the DVD section a kid asked his father about Hot Shots, that he'd never heard of it.

    I mean, seriously, what do kids watch for comedy nowadays?

  4. Man, Hot Shots was the Sh*t. I still love that one too.
