Spaceballs is an American comic science fiction movie intended to be a parody of Star Wars.
The film, written and directed by Mel Brooks, is a typical example of his wacky and unique concept of humor. The plot and characters satirize not only the original Star Wars trilogy, but also other sci-fi franchises, including Star Trek, Alien, and the Planet of the Apes.
Although it initially received mixed reviews, it has now become a cult classic, and is one of Brooks’s most popular films. Mel Brooks’s humor is a mixture of slapstick, smut and subtedly that you either love or hate – and he has both fans and critics.
Brooks had to liaise closely with George Lucas, the creator and producer of Star Wars, because the Spaceballs characters so closely resembled those of the original movie. He even had to agree to Lucas’s demand that any merchandising materials would not include Spaceballs action figures to compete with Star Wars figures.
Spaceballs is full of “one-liners” so typical of Mel Brooks’s style of comedy, and those that our LifeDaily team has chosen are typical, and give an essence of what the film is about.
