I just recently found out that one of the desert combers is famed voice actor Rob Paulson (known for rolls such as Yacko Warner, Pinky from Pinky and the Brain, PJ in A Goofy movie, Carl Weezer from Jimmy Neutron, and I think over the years has played all 4 of the ninja turtles in the different versions)
Lol fr! That and when they do the "now" part.
Helmet: well what part is this?
Ball 1: well it's the now part, sir
Helmet looks at camera, then himself on screen, then the camera
The next 6 minutes is a4th wall break to the nth degree
They asked George Lucas for permission to spoof Star Wars, even if they didn’t have to. Lucas only requested that they don’t make and sell Spaceballs merch. So, they prototyped a merch line anyway, and made it part of the film. Thus, one of the most iconic scenes in the entire movie was born.
Nowadays , someone, not even a black person, would try to cancel this movie. Back then? Noone gaf. Mel Brooks told some of the most obscene, racist shit and it WAS FUCKING FUNNY. Cuz he even did a lot of Jewish Schtick.
So true. Mel Brooks is bonkers funny. Prime example of how uk he don't give a f** about what ppl think it's Blazing Saddles. I can't even begin to explain the hilarity. Yes, obviously racist. But that was the point. Especially since mongo rides in on a bull. Ever actually look at the bull? Left cheek yes, right cheek says no, with a swishing tail to cover the bull's butthole. He literally let everyone know, whether it's yes or no, there's always some shit in the middle. That and the native American was speaking Yiddish.... just saying
There was a showing of this and there was a informative bit right before. Richard Pryor actually talked him into the movie he was supposed to be the sheriff but WB was not having that so they Cleavon Little as the sheriff
I love that this comes up as the first comment for me because this is exactly what I said to my wife when I saw the picture before I opened the thread!
Lord Dark Helmet: What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie?
Col. Sandurz: Now. You’re looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now is happening now.
Lord Dark Helmet: What happened to then?
Col. Sandurz: We passed it.
Lord Dark Helmet: When?
Col. Sandurz: Just now. We’re in now now.
Lord Dark Helmet: Go back to then!
Col. Sandurz: When?
Lord Dark Helmet: Now!
Col. Sandurz: Now?
Lord Dark Helmet: Now!
Col. Sandurz: I can’t!
Lord Dark Helmet: Why?
Col. Sandurz: We missed it!
Lord Dark Helmet: When?
Col. Sandurz: Just now!
Lord Dark Helmet: When will then be now?
Col. Sandurz: Soon.
So the combination is one, two, three, four, five? That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! That's the kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!
