Spaceballs
“May the schwartz be with you.”
Director
Mel Brooks
Screenplay
Mel Brooks, Thomas Meehan
Mel Brooks directs and co-stars in this loose 'Star Wars' spoof, following space-bum-for-hire Lone Starr, played by Bill Pullman, and his dim-witted sidekick Barf as they race to rescue Princess Vespa from the villainous Dark Helmet, played by Rick Moranis, before he can steal her planet's entire supply of breathable air. Brooks packs the film with relentless genre parody, fourth-wall-breaking gags, and merchandising jokes that skewer the blockbuster machine itself. John Candy and Daphne Zuniga round out a cast fully committed to the film's shamelessly silly tone. Though a modest hit on release, it has grown into one of Brooks's most fondly remembered cult comedies.
