Spaceballs

Synopsis
Mel Brooks spoofs <em>Star Wars</em> and silly sci-fi conventions, in this outrageous outer space saga with an all-star cast. Set “in a galaxy very, very, very, very far away,” rogue space jockey Bill Pullman and John Candy’s half-dog sidekick Barf aim to stop Rick Moranis’s evil despot Dark Helmet and rescue spoiled Princess Daphne Zuniga. Along for the ride: snarky robot Dot Matrix and molten mobster Pizza the Hutt, voiced by comic greats Joan Rivers and Dom DeLuise. Brooks himself plays juicy dual roles: Spaceball President Skroob, and, most memorably, wise old imp Yogurt who extols the mystical mantra, “May the Schwartz be with you.” The grab-bag collection of self-referential jokes, bawdy innuendo and cheesy sight gags, once chided as lowbrow by critics, has since earned cult status.
