Today is "Spaceballs"
Starring Mel Brooks, Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, the late great John Candy and Daphne Zuniga
First, the air supply of planet Spaceball has escaped them. Then the planet Druidia is sought out by Lord Dark Helmet (Moranis) and President Scroob (Brooks) as an abundant air supply to replenish their dying world.
A runaway princess and a vagabond space smuggler with a mog (half-man half-dog) for a sidekick, steps in and thwarts the evil plans of Spaceballs. The Princess Vespa escapes from a wedding, complete with a Jewish Pope. Captain Lonestar (Pullman) escapes from the massive war-vessel by jamming their radar with an especially sticky raspberry jam. They continue to escape Dark Helmet's ship by using "hyper active" and when Lonestar and Barf (Candy) slow their Winnebago down, they get overshot by Dark Helmet's ship that goes to plaid. Then they escape a grueling death, being rescued by a little midget troupe of Dink-Dinks. Then they escape a maximum security installation by parking in the wrong parking space, dressing up as Spaceballs and confusing the prison-guards to capture their stunt doubles instead.
Then one final escape is done at a moon quick-stop restaurant when an unknown alien lifeform pokes its slimy head out of a diner who is played by John Hurt...as himself from a previous script.
This has been my Movie Review. May the Shwartz be with you!
