SPACEBALLS

With Bill Pullman, John Candy, Rick Moranis, Mel Brooks, Daphne Zuniga, Dick Van Patten, Michael Winslow
Directed by Mel Brooks

One of the last Brooks parodies worth its salt (Robin Hood Men In Tights an embarrassment). Here he takes a stab at the highly popular cultural phenomenon most will be familiar with - Star Wars. With abounding slapstick there are no sacred cows, and even movies like Alien gets a plug. Only funny if you're at least partly clued up on the Star Wars details, the entire movie one big in-joke.
