ABOUT:

When the evil Dark Helmet (Moranis) attempts to steal all the air from planet Druidia, a determined Druish Princess (Daphne Zuniga), a clueless rogue (Pullman) and a half-man/half-dog creature who’s his own best friend (Candy) set out to stop him.  But with the forces of darkness closing in on them at ludicrous speed, they’ll need the help of a wise imp named Yogurt (Brooks) and the mystical power of “The Schwartz” to bring peace and merchandising rights to the entire galaxy!

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment combed the desert to bring fans an all-new featurette for the SPACEBALLS: 25TH ANNIVESARY EDITION Blu-ray entitled “Farce Yourself!Spaceballs and the Skroobing of Sci-Fi.”  Mel Brooks takes fans on a guided tour into the making of the SPACEBALLS saga, exploring the film’s inspiration, its production, visual effects (including the sizzling creation of “Pizza the Hut”), how the film directly tears down the adventurous (Star Wars), the scary serious (Alien) and even the apocalyptic (Planet of the Apes) in his own uninhibited way and its epic status as Mel Brooks’ most successful and beloved fan favorite film.  Additional bonus features include commentaries, behind-the-scenes featurettes, still galleries, trailers, film bloopers and more.

MY THOUGHTS:
I remember watching “Spaceballs” when I was little and laughing because everyone else laughed. Then I watched it when I was a little older and I laughed and laughed and laughed some more. Now to watch it on Blu-ray it not only still makes me laugh but it makes me appreciate how new technology can improve our old classics! “Spaceballs” is a spoof movie of Star Wars and whether you like Star Wars or not, this is a great comedy to watch! I actually dare you to watch this movie and not laugh! The acting and special effects may be corny but it is supposed to be. I cannot believe it is the 25th anniversary of Spaceballs, so here’s to 25+ more years of laughs!
