Spaceballs 2

[Bloop]

My expectations are pretty low for this. But I also don't see the harm in it.

I mean, it's 'Spaceballs.' It's been 40 years. Are they destroying anybody's childhood here?


As for Mel Brooks, the dude is pushing 100yo and 'Spaceballs' was never one of his peak works. For all we know, this sequel might be happening whether it has his blessing or not.

Is he selling out by doing this?

FFS, he sold out when he made the first one. He abandoned the racy provocative comedy of his 1970s works in favor of a goofy PG-rated Star Wars ripoff with Rick Moranis as Darth Vader.

I liked the first 'Spaceballs' as much as most 1980s kids. But it's not high art.

I like some Mel Brooks stuff, but not all. I think the ones that are the best had specific people involved that made them great. Like "Blazing Saddles" wouldn't have existed or been as good without Richard Pryor writing on it. And "Young Frankenstein" was really Gene Wilder's project. Mel Brooks has a group of different writers on each film, so you have to look at who wrote each on (other than just Brooks). Plus, certain actors shine more than others. The performances of Gene Wilder, Clevon Little, Madeline Kahn, Harvey Korman, & Marty Feldman elevate those films. Not to diminish Mel's comedic output, but it's not like he's writing, directing, and performing these all by himself. Some films miss the mark because they don't have the right combination of creatives behind them.

Thought I'd chime in as a Spaceballs collector who loves the movie! Props, toys, merchandise, film, modern stuff, anything and near everything gets added to my collection as my budget allows. My favorite piece came from therpf, original panel from Eagle 5!

I hope the movie is great, and if it's not, still have the original!

Also, shameless plug, I'm sure I'll be adding anything I can from this one so if you get a hold of anything let me know! lol

Think we see a return of pizza the Hutt?

That could be a parody spinoff movie…or series.

We'd finally get to learn what happens when pizza... sends out for you!

The theme song can even be a parody of Mark Morrisson’s “Return of the Mack”, sung as Return of the Hutt.

You think mark Hamill makes a cameo?

Maybe? A cameo from Harrison Ford at a gas station handing lone star something and commenting something like, "didn't you used to fly with a walking carpet?" or something could be cool. This also demonstrates why I'm not in writing lol

Didn't he "eat himself to death" after getting stuck in his stretched Limo?

But somehow... he returned lol

That's *exactly* how they should do it to make fun of the Sequels' stupid writing.

"Somehow, ________ has returned" is one of the new cards in the deck that S2 can play.

Pizza the Hutt might be suitable. There weren't a lot of dead characters & deaths in the first movie to pick from.

There are other ways bring back Pizza. Maybe his corpse was preserved and he became "Stuffed Crust". Or maybe he appears as a glowing blue Schwartz-ghost.

Saw this elsewhere (not mine.) If ever there was a popcorn bucket I hope they make! If not, who on here wants to?
