Spaceballs sequel on the way....

Mell Brooks did a fine job of ripping the piss outta the first trilogy...so I doubt he will have his work cut out for him with this one. He's writing the script and in Mels words on release date....

MB : Best case scenario : a week before the new Star Wars opens. Worst Case Scenario : a year after the new star wars opens.

I loved Spaceballs as a kid.
I saw it a few months back and thought "where's the jokes?"

Should have left it after Blazing Saddles tbh!

Aw no, how can you say that. I have both on DVD and I find spaceballs to be the funniest by far. Lord helmet is just the nuts. There's so much in it thats so funny. Where do i start....ludicrous speed..the asshole family...the radar being jammed..'spaceballs the movie' scene with lord helmet...Barf..Combing the desert...its brilliant...

i wonder will they have another advance breakthrough in home video, and have spaceballs2 out on dvd, before they even finish making it.

Spaceballs 2 brought to you by Mel " I had an original Idea back in 1985" Brooks

I'm sorry The Producers is one of the funniest films ever;

"Hitler was smarter the Churchill he was funnier than Churchill, he was a better dancer, he told better jokes, and he was a better painter than Churchill, two coats TWO COATS in a single day"

and Blazing Saddles is a brilliant film;

"What were you expecting? "Come in sonny and marry my daughter?" these are the common people, the wee folk, the little people, the salt of the earth, clodhoppers; y'know? Morons"

But Robin Hood men in tights? No no no no. The Producers the musical is the best work Brooks has done in years, and thats rehashing an old gem. This does not bode well.

Someone should drive a stake through the heart of this idea, then feed the idea to alligator, then kill the alligator, burn it and scatter the ashes.

Doesn't say anything on IMDB about it, and they're usually ahead of the rest.

And this interview with Mel Brooks from Monday makes no mention of it. Could be a Pork Pie, though not a Kosher one

KNOCK ON THE DOOR, KNOCK BEFORE YOU ENTER!!!!!! did you see anything?
No sir, I didn't see you playing with your dolls again!
good!

lol, love that movie!

Ebonyks, what trilogy are you talking about? is there another movie?

Ebonyks, what trilogy are you talking about? is there another movie?

As in the second Star Wars trilogy (uno, dos, tres) (or second made...whatever). Which doesn't include John Candys character. Ofcourse, that doesn't mean i wouldn't like to have seen him in this somewhere. On the subject of cast, Rick Moranis is pushing 50 now. Has he retired? Havn't seen the guy in ages. The rest of the cast apart from Mel himself, I can't seem to recall.

Anyway, i think it's a good idea even if it's still kind of a rumour. I can't remember a Mel Brooks flick i didn't like.....well maybe that Dracula one he did. But there is one good line from it..."Give him an enema! It will give him a sense of accomplishment." Ah, I suppose they're all brilliant.

Dark Helmet: "Ludicrous speed . . . go!"

IrishMike

is it just me or did spaceballs suck ?

I think it's just you IrishMike It's best to watch Spaceballs when you're drunk though, it seems much funnier that way.
Perhaps the next Spaceballs will be Spaceballs 3: The search for Spaceballs 2. Brooks once said that in an interview once, possible on Parkinson I can't really remember as it was quite a long time ago. He did say then that he was never going to make a Spaceballs 2, but things change.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

spaceballs was brilliant as was men in tights... i've watched those films way... way too much

Lord Helmet: Who are you?
Bearded Lady: I'm the bearded lady.
Escape pod blasts off with bearded lady inside
Lord Helmet: Come back here you fat bearded bitch.

so so funny. And one word of advice. never get thick with an ex girlfriend and shout the above to her. it brings undesirable consequences. Almost as bad as calling someone a "big fat mess".

Generally most of us were born with the god given sense that those words should never be uttered to an ex girlfriend...........

I think it's best to watch it when you are a kid. I loved it when I first saw it when I was young.. but then I was alot more into Star Wars back then as well. Of course alot of the jokes go over your head as well when you are a kid, so it is worth revisiting to a degree... But when I last saw it, it really didn't do much for me at all.

Mycroft is right. The best thing Mel has done is The Producers, which is one of the all time greats of cinema. And I really don't think it needs a remake.

The only bit I remember was the "lightsaber" fight where they accidently kill a cameraman. Laughed quite a bit at that one.

On the subject of Mel Brooks - History of the World Part I was very funny, remember: "PISS BOY!!!"; "EVERYONE MOUNT THE QUEEN". The "Jews in Space" trailer at the end was just inspired!
