Spaceballs 2 (2027) (1 Viewer)

Yeah I was gonna say, they had better make it snappy. Mel seems as sharp and vital as ever, but the clock is certainly ticking.

Like a couple of others, I never felt Spaceballs was overly funny. The Tim Russ "combing the desert" line was really the only time I laughed when I saw it first run. Star Wars spoofs were well past their freshness dates even then, so it felt a little late.

I am one of those old dudes who feels Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein and High Anxiety are a trilogy of comedies that just cannot be topped even by Brooks himself. But bless him, Mel Brooks is a national treasure and I hope he lives forever.

I’m wondering if perhaps they’ll have Mel record his lines now and do a CGI Yogurt to poke fun at the Star Wars prequel trilogy.

That Tim Russ who co-starred on Star Trek Voyager for 7 years.

They have to work a Trek joke into the movie because of his time on VOY, or give him pointed ears or something.

Will any of the Assholes be returning?

Tim Russ ain't found shit...

 

[Sam Favate]

Russ is great. Loved seeing him in season 3 of Star Trek Picard; hope he gets to do more of that.

Sounds like they may create a trilogy of out this… then we can have Spaceballs III: The Search for Spaceballs II.
