Rating:
A space bum helps rescue a princess from an evil overlord with the help of a benevolent elder in this Star_Wars send-up written and directed by Mel_Brooks. Lone Starr (Bill_Pullman) and his half-man, half-dog co-pilot, Barf the Mawg (John_Candy), are content to scour the galaxy living the easy life. But they reluctantly come to the rescue when Druish Princess Vespa (Daphne_Zuniga) is threatened by the evil Lord Dark Helmet (Rick_Moranis), who wants to steal all of the air from her planet, Druidia. Trapped on a harsh desert world with Vespa and her robot chaperone, Dot Matrix (voice of Joan_Rivers), Lone Starr and Barf are helpless to prevent Helmet from kidnapping the girl. But assistance arrives in the form of Yogurt (Brooks), a wizard who turns Lone Starr on to a mysterious power known as The Schwartz. Catching up with Helmet just as he's transforming his spaceship into a giant vacuum cleaner in orbit around Druidia, the reluctant heroes stage a dramatic showdown. Although it borrows most of its plot from the Star_Wars series, Spaceballs also pokes fun at Star_Trek, -Snow White, and Planet of the Apes -- as well as the entire videocassette and movie marketing industries. The large supporting cast includes Dick_Van_Patten, Jim_J._Bullock, and the voice of Dom DeLuise. John_Hurt makes a cameo in a parody of the exploding chest scene he played in Alien. Brian J. Dillard, Rovi
