SPACEBALLS: THE PAGE IMAGEOnce upon a time warp...In a galaxy very, very, very,very, far away there liveda ruthless race of beingsknown as... Spaceballs.Chapter ElevenThe Spaceballs Grow DesperateThe evil leaders of PlanetSpaceball, having foolishlysquandered their preciousatmosphere, have devised asecret plan to take everybreath of air away fromtheir peace-loving neighbor,Planet Druidia.Today is Princess Vespa'swedding day. Unbeknownstto the princess but knownstto us, danger lurks in thestars above...If you can read this, youdon't need glasses.SPACEBALLS: THE TV TROPES PAGESpaceballs is a 1987 farcical comedy film directed by Mel Brooks which does for Science Fiction — especially Star Wars — what Blazing Saddles did for The Western.Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) — the bold, bossy and beautiful heir to the throne of planet Druidia — is fleeing her intended marriage to the painfully dull Prince Valium (Jim J. Bullock), the only eligible bachelor prince in her region of space. Unfortunately, Vespa and her robot servant Dot Matrix (performed by Lorene Yarnellnote of Shields and Yarnell; voiced by Joan Rivers) acquire the attention of the Spaceballs, a group of spacefaring evildoers — led by Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) and President Skroob (Mel Brooks) — who plan to seize Vespa and hold her hostage in exchange for access to Druidia's oxygen (in order to drain it away and use it to replenish their homeworld's own thinning atmosphere).Everybody got that?All hope lies with two rogues-for-hire: Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) and Barf the Mawg (John Candy), who hope to use the substantial reward offered by Vespa's father to pay off their debt to crime boss Pizza the Hutt (voiced by Dom DeLuise). With a little help from wise-cracking mystic Master Yogurt (also Mel Brooks), Lone Starr fights to save Planet Druidia, defeat the Spaceballs, and (maybe) get the girl, too.Of course, it's all just a big excuse to let Mel Brooks make fun of sci-fi tropes for ninety minutes.Noted for being the final film released by MGM to have been shot at the studio's historic backlot at Culver City under their ownership. More specifically, Stages 27 and 30 were utilized to film all of the interior scenes at Yogurt's temple and the interior scenes for both the bridge of the Spaceball One and Spaceball City, respectively. Shortly after filming wrapped up, MGM sold the studio backlot to Lorimar-Telepictures.An Animated Adaptation of the film, simply titled Spaceballs: The Animated Series, was in Development Hell for much of the 2000s. G4, who eventually gained the rights to it, ended up promoting the show a year before it was set to air and by the time it finally did, it had already been canceled after only 13 episodes.

Visual Pun: Lone Starr "jams" the Spaceballs' radar with raspberry jam, which clues Dark Helmet to his identity. When told to "comb the desert" for the heroes, Dark Helmet and Colonel Sandurz get their mooks to literally run giant combs (and one afro pick) along the desert sand. They wonder if they're being "too literal." When Lone Starr calls for Barf for the first time. By the way Lone Starr speaks and rocks, he looks like he really is going to vomit.

Put Off Their Food: At the end of the movie, when a diner patron who ate the Special begins moaning in pain, Barf — who'd also ordered the Special — quickly changes his order. After the alien bursts out and does its dance, both Lone Starr and Barf simply say "Check, Please!" and leave without eating.

 Spaceballs / int_1e7c47ab
comment
Stealth Pun: One Spaceball guard yells at Barf, "You son of a..." before getting shot. Barf is half dog. The can of Perri-Air that Skroob uses turns out to have a second pun beyond the obvious Product Placement gag. The stylized "P" on the can also resembles a "D," and Skroob brings the can up to his nose. He's sniffing his Derri-Air ("derrière," which is French for "rear end"). Better yet, this is apparently a bilingual pun, as the Hebrew letter for "P" resembles an uppercase "D" in the Roman alphabet. (One of the creators of Discord, who is also Jewish, pulled a similar gag with the font for their original logo.) When the heroes start praising Yogurt, as "Yogurt the wise!" and "Yogurt the incredible." Yogurt shows modesty and says "I'm just plain Yogurt." Plain yogurt is yogurt served without any additional flavors. Dark Helmet once calls Colonel Sandurz a "petty excuse for an officer." Derived from the naval rank, of course.

Funny Background Event: Merchandise for the Spaceballs movie, as a Running Gag. The stuff in the back of the Winnebago includes a fire hydrant labeled "Mawg's Room." When Rico is getting his groin zapped, Colonel Sandurz is looking away with a traumatized facial expression, as if he knows all too well how that feels. Later on, Dark Helmet gives out an instruction, the soldiers around him give an affirmative... while covering their crotches. The "You're looking at now" bit includes several Rocky sequels (see Brick Joke). Dr. Schlotkin and the nurse suddenly making out when Sandurz turns the movie back on. Mr. <Insert Product Here> machinery in the background of various scenes. When Dark Helmet declares "Prepare to attack!" while the Spaceball One is pursuing Lone Starr's Winnebago, the two Spaceball guards behind him can be seen readying their guns. The one Spaceball (ostensibly replacing the guy that got Schwartzed at the beginning of the movie) turning around in confusion when Dark Helmet asks how many Assholes they have on the ship.

Parodied relentlessly, with the Millennium Falcon equivalent being a literal Winnebago with wings — lampshaded when Spaceball guards call it exactly that — and the currency being "space bucks," among other examples.

Too Fast to Stop
 Spaceballs / int_30401348
comment
Too Fast to Stop: Going suddenly from Ludicrous Speed to a dead stop is too dangerous courtesy of Newton's First Law (as Dark Helmet learns), and just flying that fast causes Spaceball One to overshoot the Winnebago as well as causing Dark Helmet to crash right into a computer console because he refused to wear a seatbelt during the maneuver.

Strange Minds Think Alike: King Druidia uses the code 1-2-3-4-5 for the air shield. Dark Helmet lampshades this by commenting that it's "the kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!" A moment later, President Skroob comments that it's the same combination on his luggage. Dark Helmet and Colonel Sandurz share a meaningful glance at that.

And how Helmet has a normal voice with his mask up, and a deep one with it down. There's no vocal adjustment involved. It's just Dark Helmet making his own voice lower.

Abandon Ship: Played for Laughs. Everybody is shown running for the Escape Pods in the film's climax — the orchestra, a variety of circus freaks, and even a bear — but leaving behind Colonel Sandurz, President Skroob, and Dark Helmet. Many of these are part of the capper of a Brick Joke initiated when Colonel Sandurz orders the cancellation of a three-ring circus and the closing of the zoo aboard the Spaceball One as part of the preparations for Ludicrous Speed. Making it even funnier is the background music singing about how awesome the Spaceballs supposedly are.

Ninja Prop: In order to track down the heroes, Dark Helmet decides to consult the movie's VHS tape. It eventually points him to the right planet, but not before a highly confusing scene where the recording plays back the scene where Dark Helmet consults the tape. After having performed an Indy Hat Roll, the heroes find themselves surrounded by Spaceball guards. Then an officer comes to gloat, but he realizes with dismay that the guards have instead captured their stunt doubles. During the fight between Lone Star and Dark Helmet, Helmet swings his Schwartz sword back and hits a member of the movie crew.

Batman Can Breathe in Space: Barf evacuates Vespa and Dot from their spaceship using a ladder. While the ship is in space. Justified for Dot, since she's a robot and doesn't need to breathe. Lone Starr later uses the same ladder to descend into a portion of the Spaceball One that appears to be open to space, which contains a door into a bathroom.

Space Jews: Mel Brooks has said the only reason that the planet in Spaceballs is named Druidia is so he could throw in the line about a "Druish Princess". Plus plenty of more scenes. That's okay because Mel Brooks has N-Word Privileges. "Funny, she doesn't look Druish!" President Skroob wears a traditional Jewish groom's tuxedo. Yogurt's over-the-top Yiddish accent.

Flynning: The entire Laser Blade fight consists of a few pirate halves done so slowly that a higher intensity scene could have been had by hopping two children up on sugar and giving them foam swords. It was probably intentional, as the slow, clumsy fight choreography of Star Wars: A New Hope was legendary.

Meaningful Name: Prince Valium.note For those who live outside of the US: Valium is a brand of sedatives And the Asshole family. "Vespa" means "wasp" in Italian. A petulant or easily irritated person, especially a woman, may be described as "waspish." Also an acronym for "White Anglo-Saxon Protestant" (which is rather ironic, since Vespa is a parody of Jewish American Princess stereotypes). Lone Starr is a composite of two heroes and so is his name: Lone is a synonym of "Solo" and a star could be described as a "sky walker."

Strange Salute: The Spaceball fleet has a couple: Lord Helmet's minions covering their groins whenever they speak to him (though this might be a purely practical defensive action, given his preferred method of dealing with sub-par performance). President Skroob's salute: make a rude hand sign, then immediately pretend to wave politely; perfectly appropriate for a two-faced backstabbing organization.

Road Trip Across the Street: Sci-fi version. President Skroob is beamed from his office to the command center, then beamed back to reverse a Teleporter Accident. Skroob then walks to the command center, which is the next room over.

Laughably Evil: Might as well be the Spaceballs' hat. They're out to rob a planet of all its air and kill off all life on it, but everyone aboard the ship, from the rank-and-file to the leadership, are comically-inept imbeciles.

Star Wars references: Most main characters correspond to a character from Star Wars: Lone Starr is a Luke/Han combo, Barf is Chewbacca, Vespa is Leia, Dot is C-3P0, Yogurt is an Obi-Wan/Yoda combo, Pizza the Hutt is Jabba the Hutt, President Skroob is Emperor Palpatine, Colonel Sandurz is a Grand Moff Tarkin/Admiral Piett amalgamation and Dark Helmet is Darth Vader. The extremely long opening establishing shot of the Spaceball One, is a Shout-Out to the shot of the Star Destroyer in Star Wars: Episode IV. The Schwartz is a reference to the Force. Yogurt even has to clarify that he's not talking about the Force. Vespa's hair buns when leaving Druidia looks like Princess Leia's — until it's revealed they're just headphones. Lone Starr and co. make an emergency crash-landing on the desert moon of Vega, being a reference to both the desert planet of Tatoonie in Star Wars Episode IV, and the forest-moon of Endor in Star Wars Episode VI.

 Spaceballs / int_81ae45f2
comment
Fantasy Helmet Enforcement: Parodied and Double Subverted. When Dark Helmet refuses to fasten his seat belt after ordering Colonel Sandurz to shift to Ludicrous Speed, their ship bypasses their target, and Dark Helmet can barely hang on. The villain tells Sandurz to hit the emergency brake (which Sandurz does, despite a warning sign on it that says "Never Use") and Dark Helmet is flung headfirst into a control panel. The helmet keeps him from getting his skull caved in, but it gets badly dented and he still takes enough of a knock to make him pass out a few seconds later.

Pun: It's a Mel Brooks film. It's the standard humor. When you say you're going to comb the desert, out come the oversized prop combs. "Ugh! That's just what we need... a Druish princess!" "Funny, she doesn't look Druish." (Mel Brooks has said that the only reason he named the planet Druidia was so he could make that one joke.) "What's the matter, Colonel Sandurz, CHICKEN?" "PIZZA THE HUTT!" "Yogurt! I HATE YOGURT! Even with strawberries!" "Radar... about to be... jammed!" "There's only one man who would dare give me the raspberry!"note LONE STARR!! [gets hit by camera]

Prince Valium is a reference to both Prince Valiant and the common phrase in The '50s that a woman "was sleeping with Prince Valium tonight" (that is, taking pills to sleep after a long day). In fact, the latter idiom was a reference to the comic strip, making it a doubly enforced double entendre.

Recycled In SPACE: Although it is mostly a parody of Star Wars, the plot closely resembles the classic romantic comedy It Happened One Night. Down to Lone Starr only accepting the 248 dollars — sorry, space bucks — in travel expenses as pay, rather than the million space bucks. Parodied relentlessly, with the Millennium Falcon equivalent being a literal Winnebago with wings — lampshaded when Spaceball guards call it exactly that — and the currency being "space bucks," among other examples. Especially funny near the end, with the actual Millennium Falcon and the Winnebago both stopping for gas, IN SPACE!

Orphan's Plot Trinket: Lone Starr's medallion. The ending reveals it to be an artifact confirming his royal heritage, making him a Suddenly Suitable Suitor for Vespa. Vespa nearly gives it away the first night on Vega. Lone Starr is showing it to her and saying none of the wise men he visited could tell him what it means. She then says, "It's beautiful. You know I... It's beautiful." Clearly catching herself before stating that she also has one (since it's a royal birth certificate).

Foreshadowing: A bunch of Spaceballs merchandise is Transformers merchandise with Spaceballs stickers on them, which might just seem like a convenient and logical choice when adapting actual merchandise from one of the most well-known merchandise-driven franchises ever for a joke about merchandising, but then later Spaceball One transforms into Mega-Maid, which is the linchpin device for the Spaceballs to steal all of Druidia's air.

This Is Gonna Suck: After Dark Helmet orders him to set the ship to Ludicrous Speed, Colonel Sandurz begs him to reconsider. After being pressured to go through with it, his voice cracks and he has to visibly compose himself as he gives the order, making sure everyone onboard takes extreme methods of securing themselves.

Prized Possession Giveaway: Yogurt gives Lone Starr the very valuable ring of the Schwartz as a parting gift, having trained Lone Starr to use it. Humorously subverted when Lone Starr loses the ring near the end, only for Yogurt to tell him the real Schwartz was in him all along, while the ring was just a trinket from a Cracker Jack box.

The Password Is Always "Swordfish": 1-2-3-4-5. Complete with a Meaningful Look between Helmet and Sandurz. Also qualifies as Truth in Television despite Spaceballs being a comedy. "password" and "12345" being used as passwords for sensitive accounts happens quite often in the real world.

Magic Countdown: Lone Starr is given one day to get the money he needs to pay off Pizza the Hutt. He then spends two days stuck on the moon of Vega with Vespa, plus an unspecified amount of time rescuing Vespa from Planet Spaceball and defeating Dark Helmet, which means he was long past the end of his deadline when he learns that Pizza had died, cancelling the debt. Nobody brings this up.

Oh, Crap!: Everyone in the bridge of the Spaceball One when Dark Helmet orders the ship to go to Ludicrous Speed. When Princess Vespa's ship is captured but Vespa herself is nowhere to be found, every Spaceball trooper in the vicinity drops their guns and holds their crotches in a clear wordless version of this, just in case Helmet happens to be in a Schwartzing mood. When John Hurt starts convulsing at the diner, Barf asks what he ordered and is told by the waitress that he had the special... exactly what Barf himself ordered. He quickly asks to get the soup instead.

Digital Destruction: When watching the original, non-anamorphic DVD on TVs with huge amounts of overscan, the scene where Dark Helmet threatens to restore Vespa's old nose became cropped so strongly, viewers can't see the crooked tip of her old nose. The anamorphic Collector's Edition DVD fixed this. The 4K Blu-ray erroneously removes some dialogue from the scene in which Dark Helmet disguises as King Roland, rendering it impossible to hear Dot's futile warnings to Vespa.

Too Dumb to Live: Dark Helmet, particularly during the "comb the desert" scene (where he does exactly that using literal giant combs and even gets annoyed when Colonel Sandurz suggests he's being too Literal-Minded) and, even worse, the "ludicrous speed scene", where he immediately orders Spaceball One to jump to ludicrous speed despite Sandurz warning him it could be dangerous, and refuses to buckle his seatbelt. He then orders the ship to stop, ignoring Sandurz' insistence that they need to slow down first, and ends up going headfirst into a control panel. Note that Sandurz is pretty dumb to begin with, and even he comes across as smarter and more capable than Dark Helmet.

In order to track down the heroes, Dark Helmet decides to consult the movie's VHS tape. It eventually points him to the right planet, but not before a highly confusing scene where the recording plays back the scene where Dark Helmet consults the tape.

Shout-Out
 Spaceballs / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The alien creature bursting from the chest of John Hurt (causing him to lament, "Oh, no! Not again!") and then performing a song-and-dance number is a combined reference to Alien and One Froggy Evening. Star Wars references: Most main characters correspond to a character from Star Wars: Lone Starr is a Luke/Han combo, Barf is Chewbacca, Vespa is Leia, Dot is C-3P0, Yogurt is an Obi-Wan/Yoda combo, Pizza the Hutt is Jabba the Hutt, President Skroob is Emperor Palpatine, Colonel Sandurz is a Grand Moff Tarkin/Admiral Piett amalgamation and Dark Helmet is Darth Vader. The extremely long opening establishing shot of the Spaceball One, is a Shout-Out to the shot of the Star Destroyer in Star Wars: Episode IV. The Schwartz is a reference to the Force. Yogurt even has to clarify that he's not talking about the Force. Vespa's hair buns when leaving Druidia looks like Princess Leia's — until it's revealed they're just headphones. Lone Starr and co. make an emergency crash-landing on the desert moon of Vega, being a reference to both the desert planet of Tatoonie in Star Wars Episode IV, and the forest-moon of Endor in Star Wars Episode VI. The shape of the Spaceball One and the music that plays during its reveal also shout out to Jaws; the ship is shaped like a shark, and the music is a slower horn-version of the Jaws theme. The singing "dinks" are a reference to the dwarfs in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, while looking like Jawas from Star Wars. Their song, however, is clearly to the tune from the whistling scene in The Bridge on the River Kwai despite being entirely in "dink." Star Trek references: Lone Starr tries the Vulcan neck pinch. The guard then tells him how to do it right, and then passes out due to the pinch now working. President Skroob gets "beamed" into another location by Snotty (instead of Scotty). The apes and the placement of Megamaid on the beach in the very end are a riff on the end of Planet of the Apes. Pizza the Hutt's mook Vinny Poker-Face seems to be a reference to Max Headroom, with his angular head and neck twitch. When President Skroob tells the crew to prepare for metamorphosis and Dark Helmet replies, "Ready, Kafka?"note And this isn't the first time Mel Brooks made a joke about this play: in The Producers, Max rejects it for being "too good" (read: not bad enough to be a flop). Dark Helmet asks: "What's the matter, Colonel Sandurz...? Chicken..?" Skroob telling Marlene and Charlene to "chew your gum!" is meant to be a reference to Wrigley's Doublemint Gum, which used twins in their advertisements. These twins were a reference to the clones (Betty and Betty) in Quark, who were played by the Barnstable twins from the Wrigley's Doublemint commercials. Lone Star, Barf, Vespa, and Dot arriving at Yogurt's temple and approaching his fiery statue before finally meeting him in person is similar to the main characters of The Wizard of Oz first meeting the title character in a rather frightened state of anxiety. Making this Shout-Out clearer is the fact that the scene was shot in the same sound stage as Oz. This is furthered by the similarities in the groups: a girl; a scruffy, ragged man; an animalistic man; and a metal companion. Barf describes Megamaid as a Transformer. It also bears a striking resemblance to the SDF-1 from Robo Tech. The "ludicrous speed" scene also strongly parallels the SDF-1's Transformation Sequence, complete with references to the ship having a mall and other amenities (which the SDF-1 actually had, due to housing a large community of civilian refugees and chunks of the island they used to live on which got displaced in a Teleporter Accident, and although that one didn't have a three-ring circus, the beauty contest and pop idol concerts do come pretty close). Princess Vespa is engaged to Prince Valium. "Hey, that was pretty good for Rambo." Everytime Lone Starr uses The Shwartz, the first few notes from the original Fantasy Island theme are heard. King Roland tells Lone Starr that Vespa "was just passing Jupiter 2" The Schwartz rings recall the magic ring of Ming the Merciless in Flash Gordon.

Fake Static

Fake Static: Barf uses this ploy to make King Roland promise a million space bucks to rescue Princess Vespa. Note that he wasn't pretending to lose picture to get away from the conversation as is standard of this trope, but rather as a way of saying "I'm losing interest in this deal." A more literal example happens with Michael Winslow in the radar jamming scene, where the entire sound of the picture on the screen collapsing into static was done by solely him. He even manages to simulate a really bad audio pickup.

Mundane Made Awesome: A meta case, considering how much a lot of special effects are done in post-production digitally nowadays is that everything, even the sounds of static and the terrible quality of the communicator, in the Jammed Radar sequence was done by Michael Winslow right there and then. He effectively adlibbed what would normally take hours of post-production work. The major evidence is when he drops a Precision F-Strike when the screen fails, since it smoothly transitions from the fake static he was doing to simulate the sound the screen should have been making.

 Spaceballs / int_e16fb8ca
comment
Hero Killer: The movie never really says why Vespa has to marry Prince Valium when apparently any prince would've done, just that he's the "last" prince. The novelization takes it a step further, saying Vespa has to marry him because there's no other princes left; Dark Helmet killed them all. Presumably he just didn't bother with the ineffectual Prince Valium.

Biting-the-Hand Humor: The "merchandising" gag was this. George Lucas gave his blessings to loan out some of the more distinct special effects for this parody on the provision that there be no real licensed merchandise, and the gag was Brooks' way of tweaking his nose about it. While many of these are out in the open or are meta examples (like the title), more subtle examples show up, e.g. Spaceballs: the toilet paper!

"Vespa" means "wasp" in Italian. A petulant or easily irritated person, especially a woman, may be described as "waspish." Also an acronym for "White Anglo-Saxon Protestant" (which is rather ironic, since Vespa is a parody of Jewish American Princess stereotypes).

Product Placement
 Spaceballs / int_f511ea9b
comment
The can of Perri-Air that Skroob uses turns out to have a second pun beyond the obvious Product Placement gag. The stylized "P" on the can also resembles a "D," and Skroob brings the can up to his nose. He's sniffing his Derri-Air ("derrière," which is French for "rear end"). Better yet, this is apparently a bilingual pun, as the Hebrew letter for "P" resembles an uppercase "D" in the Roman alphabet. (One of the creators of Discord, who is also Jewish, pulled a similar gag with the font for their original logo.)

Brick Joke: While preparing for Ludicrous Speed, Sandurz mentions cancelling the three-ring circus and closing the zoo. When it comes time to abandon ship, the crowd includes several circus freaks and a bear. Dark Helmet lamely covers for mistaking a coffee maker for the radar by claiming he always gets coffee before watching the radar. In a later scene, he's watching radar again with another cup of coffee. Early in the "you're looking at now" bit, the shelves of videotapes include several Rocky sequels, setting up the Rocky 5000 gag near the end of the movie. After the Princess's wedding, Dot mentions she won't be needing the virgin alarm anymore. During the first rescue of Vespa, Barf mentions that she doesn't look like a Druish princess... about an hour later, we see her original nose.

Cyrillic letters appear in the Eagle 5's targeting scope, including a combination that does make perfect sense — "ПÐ�С — КОТ" (Dog — Cat).
