Spaceballs: The Video
UMV 11179
Released on MGM/UA.
Big Box - Rental Tape
The gags and spoofy special effects fly at "ludicrous speed" as Mel Brooks (Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein) boldly goes where no comic genius has gone before! The 'Spaceballs," a ruthless alien race led by the dastardly President Skroob (Mel Brooks), are out to steal the air supply from the neighbouring planet Druidia. Enter Barf the dog-man (John Candy) and the handsome space bum-for-hire, Lone Star (Bill Pulman of Ruthless People)-and their souped up, intergalactic battle cruiser! Can they save Druidia while rescuing a spoiled Druish princess from a whining little runt named Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) in time to pay off a mountainous mound of mozzarella known as Pizza the Hutt? Well, that depends on whether you truly believe in Yoghurt (Brooks again!) and the power of "The Schwartz!"
So explore Spaceballs-and may "The Farce" be with you!
"...hugely enjoyable spoof."
