Is this real- done mess with me. I was JUST talking about this movie AND Mel brooks AND Rick! So dad both lost the love of their lives and brought so much laughter and joy to the world. I’ll be a little happier knowing they are busy creating and laughing
I love Spaceballs at least as much as the next guy, but the track record for works where the entire elevator pitch is "remember this thing you loved a quarter century or more ago? Well, here's more of it!" is more bad than good.
We've had shitty nostalgia-cash-grab revivals of Star Wars, Star Trek, Jurassic Park, Ghostbusters... how many times do we need to learn this lesson?
There have been some good ones, though! Spinal Tap 2 and Bill & Ted 3 come to mind. I even kind of liked the little kids Ghostbusters movie, but I watched it on a plane and things get a little loopy up there.
Transformers, GI Joe, etc. Not to mention there are almost zero good comedy sequels. Dumb & Dumber To was awful. Super Troopers 2 and Anchorman 2 both are terrible. Ace Ventura 2 is still the only one better than the original imo.
I went into it fully understanding it would never be as good as the original. You can't recapture that. I think they nailed it and I'm excited for the 3rd one. Also, as a lifetime restaurant worker, The Slammin Salmon is one of their best and mostly overlooked movie.
I’ve got to say, I’ve been enjoying the new Scrubs. I was afraid it just wouldn’t have it anymore, but at least these first few episodes have felt like the original.
Josh Gad ruined History of the World. I’m cautiously (hopelessly) optimistic this isn’t a fucking shit show. No one could replace John Candy, but I KNOW there are funnier actors than Gad that should have been considered for what would have been Barf.

If they don’t call it Spaceballs 2: The Search for more money they won’t be getting any of mine because I won’t go see it. 😤

DoctorFenix@reddit
I can’t believe they are waiting so long.
Mel Brooks is 100.
Are they wanting him dead before it comes out?
sixfourtykilo@reddit
They brought Leia back to life, they can do the same with Yogurt.
Stardustchaser@reddit
But hopefully Mel has a plan for that, that it’s all the scenes where he’s glowing
MulberryEastern5010@reddit
I'm sure Mel has at least three backup places in place in the event he dies before the movie is released
GrendelDerp@reddit
I will fight you.
sixfourtykilo@reddit
You know I'm right
bluemitersaw@reddit
But they'd have to make a joke about it.
Caboobaroo@reddit
You know what you did! Now, go stand with your nose in the corner.
GrendelDerp@reddit
Shut your mouth! We don’t say such things.
DoctorFenix@reddit
Mel Brooks is the kind of man who would make his own death his final joke.
GrendelDerp@reddit
True. But for Jewish kids from the 80s, Mel Brooks is like our spiritual grandfather. Thinking of losing Mel Brooks hurts.
Dedspaz79@reddit
Ya ugh the rest of us who grew up in the 80s love him like a grandad too ya know.
DoctorFenix@reddit
He’d worked with that.
LeftOn4ya@reddit
I thought he was the 2000 year old man
rabidninjawombat@reddit
Hey. This time he can play Yogurt without any makeup. 😆

I better be able to get my hands on a Spaceballs the Flamethrower this time
Spartan04@reddit
“Merchandising! Where the real money from the movie is made.”
triggeron@reddit
Which is why Lucuse wouldn't let them have the merchandising rights.
TheDancingRobot@reddit
Is that a portmantua of Locutus (of Borg) and Lucas (of George)?
Spartan04@reddit
Yep. He also asked that they not have a character that looks like Han Solo, so Mel Brooks dressed him like Indiana Jones instead.
DasBlueEyedDevil@reddit
You misspelled "moichendaizing"

CarmenxXxWaldo@reddit
Imma let you finish, but Bill and Ted 3 was the worst Bill and Ted of all time.
InfidelZombie@reddit
Oh yeah, by far. I still enjoyed it though.
77evens@reddit
Don’t forget Indiana Jones, like twice.

Transformers, GI Joe, etc. Not to mention there are almost zero good comedy sequels. Dumb & Dumber To was awful. Super Troopers 2 and Anchorman 2 both are terrible. Ace Ventura 2 is still the only one better than the original imo.
the_well_read_neck_@reddit
I loved Super Troopers 2 and still rewatch it. Anchorman 2 was decent until the stupid shark storyline. It just dragged it out and made it terrible.
zoobernut@reddit
Yeah I agree super troopers 2 was just different enough to be funny. I think the first was better but the second wasn’t bad.
the_well_read_neck_@reddit

jtmag1@reddit
I found Super Troopers 2 surprisingly funny
cheffartsonurfood@reddit
I heard Super Troopers 3 on Disney + this summer.
S_A_R_K@reddit
They have a shit ton of material to work with from the Disney SW era
hbi2k@reddit
Yeah, but it was fun watching them spoof the original trilogy because you could tell it was done with affection, like everyone was in on the joke.
Watching them spoof the sequels would be like watching Mike Tyson fight Helen Keller. Yeah, he'd probably win, but nobody's fucking impressed.
RusticGroundSloth@reddit
That is the best metaphor I’ve ever heard. I’m super stoned and couldn’t stop laughing.
galenp56@reddit
But the all knowing Yogurt predicted it
NeighborGeek@reddit
I’ve got to say, I’ve been enjoying the new Scrubs. I was afraid it just wouldn’t have it anymore, but at least these first few episodes have felt like the original.
Xszit@reddit
Sorry, we thought SpaceBalls was too misogynistic.
Its called SpaceVag now, deal with it.
YVRkeeper@reddit
Has it already been filmed?
I’d be concerned that Mel won’t live long enough to see it through.
chappyfu@reddit
Filimg wrapped last month if I remember right
JHerbY2K@reddit
I believe it has wrapped, and I read somewhere that Mr Brooks wasn’t there for the actual filming
AndrewInMN@reddit
He had to be there for at least some of the filming; he’s gonna be in it.
withbellson@reddit
Eh, he did a cameo on OMITB via zoom, I assume Yogurt will be on a viewscreen and not in the room.
mrspelunx@reddit
He better be alive to see it!
Fun-Preparation-4253@reddit
I love Mel's comment for this: "I called all of my friends and asked them what movie I should make a sequel to, and no one said Spaceballs."
Workamania@reddit
Who greenlit this? Why did they wait until Mel Brooks was pushing 100?
nwillyerd@reddit
Why?

We ain't found shit!
Particular_Junket288@reddit
I find the news that Rick Moranis is returning to Hollywood way more interesting than Spaceballs 2 tbh
iwasnotarobot@reddit
Missed opportunity to call it “Spaceballs 3: the search for Spaceballs 2: the search for more money”
AttilaTheFun818@reddit
I wanted “Spaceballs 3: The Search For The Lost Sequel”
Nadathug@reddit
“6?? What happened to 7???”
“Just kidding…”
Spare_Independence19@reddit
Both of these are 100 times better than Spaceballs 2

Could this be the first legacy sequel to a classic comedy that doesn't suck?
I pray to Schwartz for that to be true.

TrepidatiousInitiate@reddit
Please, no. I’m happy remembering the one movie for its irreplaceable glory.

In all seriousness the world needs a Mel Brooks movie now more than ever in history
Borracho_Bandit@reddit
I was out until I saw Moranis is back (if true)

I watched spaceballs yesterday, then googled mel brooks. The dude is 99 years old! Crazy

If they don’t make it Spaceballs 2: the search for more money, they are missing out big time.

Far-Key-8844@reddit
I'm not mad at Rick. He had to stop acting to care for his kids i think..
LeftOn4ya@reddit
Hopefully he has enough air by then
suspicious_hyperlink@reddit
Is Mel Brooks still alive and working ? If not idk guys, if they get Kathleen Kennedy in on this one it isn’t going to turn out well
MyNameCannotBeSpoken@reddit
Rick retired from acting. This must be a great script.
CrossingTheStreamers@reddit
I’m really hoping to see some Assholes in this one.
