Bullock).
I googled it, and Spaceball One is 11,200 x 2,240 x 1,120 meters in length/width/height respectively. Bonus! The amount of time it takes between the nose of the ship and the back of it entering the screen is almost exactly 90 seconds, so if Spaceball One is moving at a constant rate that whole time it's moving at 124.444... meters/second ...

Released in 1987, Mel Brooks’ “Spaceballs” parodies the Star Wars flicks and includes jokes based on Star Trek, “Lawrence of Arabia,” “Alien” and “Planet of the Apes.” Some people hate this film, but it works for what it is: a totally goofy spoof. It’s consistently amusing with several laugh-out-loud bits and memorable lines.

Mel Brooks wanted the Pizza the Hut suit to look as realistic as possible. In order for this to happen, hot artificial melted cheese was used for the costume. The plus side to this was that it looked extremely realistic, as well as slightly disturbing. The downside side, however, was that it resulted in the actor wearing the suit receiving second a...
Despite the hilarious stories concerning how Brooks cut corners on set to make his movie a reality, it was still the most expensive movie he has ever made to date. A large part of the budget went to post-productions costs, which allegedly costed approximately 5 million dollars. Why the exorbitant high costs, you might wonder. Well, Brooks respected...
Mel Brooks is a comedian who loves to make fun of the world, but he’s also a fan of Star Wars. Because of this, he sought after the approval of George Lucas himself before he he began producing Spaceballs. Not only did Lucas give his consent to Brooks to make the film, but he also found the idea hilarious and applauded Mel Brooks for a job well don...
Going after the biggest names in Hollywood won’t always guarantee the making of a blockbuster. However, the practice of doing so has been around for decades and doesn’t seem to be dying down anytime soon. Mel Brooks originally asked Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks to play the role of Lonestar. However, both immediately turned him down. Bill Pullman was ne...
Mel Brooks loves to title his movies in a simplistic manner. An example of this is his latest spoof, as well as Blazing Saddles andHistory of the World Part 1. Thankfully, his original title idea for the movie, which was Planet Moron, for this classic Star Wars spoof was spoiled from the very beginning. A British comedy film released in 1985 called...
When George Lucas digitally re-mastered the original trilogy and released the Star Wars prequels, a revival of all things Star Wars related took place. This included a whole new generation discovering Spaceballs. Brooks wanted to make another movie, but questioned whether or not he could pull it off with a “screwball” movie budget. So instead, he c...
Every great movie gets a book adaptation, but Brooks wasn’t willing to settle for just any author. R. L. Stine wasn’t a household name yet since his Goosebumps books wouldn’t be released until 1995. However, his ghost writing name Jovial Bob Stine had just released a novelization to the first Ghostbusters movie. Mel Brooks liked what he saw and had...
Per an agreement set between Mel Brooks and George Lucas, Brooks agreed not to sell any merchandise (the novel was the only exception). This was primarily set in place since Lucas was still raking in millions of dollars through mostly toy sales at the time. Yet, even though Mel Brooks agreed to the no selling of merchandise clause, he never agreed ...
Michael Winslow’s cameo saved over a thousand dollars in production costs. He was able to help the team by doing what he does best: making weird noises while playing the role of a radar tech. Best known at the time for starring in all eight Police Academymovies, Winslow created various radar sounds in a short beat with Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet. ...
Prior to the classic scene with a cameo from John Hurt, in which he does a parody skit on the film Alien(which he starred in), there’s a shot of the parking lot outside the space dinner. Lonestar and Barf are pulling into the lot and directly across from where them and the dinner is the Millennium Falcon. Perhaps Han and Chewie had already finished...
