It was supposed to be spaceballs 3: the search for spaceballs 2
A French movie did that one. Brice de Nice 3: I broke the 2
It’s also canon that space balls 2 is called Spaceballs 2 the search for more money
Should be The Quest for More Money
I’ve been saying for years it should be Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money
That would be wasting their title to repeat a joke they already told 40 years ago. Instead they went with something timely, poking fun at requels that don’t differentiate themselves from the original.
if they repeat a joke i hope its Yoghurt presenting a flamethrower as “the thing you used to love as a kid”
Best joke in the original was the virgin alarm. I could see them pulling off a callback to that.
While that was hilarious, I must humbly - yet strongly - disagree.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGvblGCD7qM - 1m40s in when Dark Helmet throws the mic away does it for me. But my favorite joke - not the best, but my favorite - because I didn’t catch it the first hundred times I saw - is also in this clip at 2m20s where Dark Helmet taps Colonel Sandurz on the chest - who looks at the hand, the camera, realizes it’s coming in, and backs out of the shot. That’s just… oh man, that is like the pinnacle of the detailed thought that went into a very very silly movie.
So many movies just throw actors out there and get them to improv, and that can be great. But the sheer density of hilarity in Spaceballs, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstien and others… it’s just a beautiful thing. When it feels like 75% of the movie is quotable. lol
So I don’t disagree that the Virgin Alarm was great, but I think the above clip is ten times better. But you’re allowed to reverse that rating for you, of course. Long as you and I love the movie, I’m satisfied. :)
You got me… the camera zoom reaction is a better joke. But maybe not as good a candidate for a callback!
To be brutally honest though, I didn’t so much want to disagree as really to just post that clip and talk about it. LOL
It should have been called the search for more money!
Please be good please be good
Or be so bad that we can laugh at it and then forget about it (except occasionally as a joke.)
Just don’t be mediocre. Nothing worse than mediocre.
Knowing how beloved the original was, I finally watched it recently. In order to like it I’d have to overlook how offensively the Leia parody was written. It’s a depiction I’d expect from a boomer chud who can’t get laid.
I do not intend to watch the sequel.
Definitely don’t watch Blazing Saddles, then. I think you might explode.
Why? because characters in blazing saddles were racist? No, that movie was great and doesn’t fall into the issue I’m complaining about. Now, if the main character was a racist characature, then I’d take issue.
Blazing saddles makes fun of racists. Spaceballs makes fun of women.
It’s easy to infer you wouldn’t understand considering your lack of understanding for what they were doing on Spaceballs. I guess you’re just more comfortable with racism so it let you notice what was actually going on.
Spaceballs 2: AI John Candy
Doubtful; Mel is old school about cinema and John is beloved. If anything they’d mock AI.
I feel that we definitely need a parody of all those nostalgia reboots.
Yeah that’s why I think this title is pretty good actually. “it’s like the old one, but it’s newer” definitely seems like a jab at The Force Awakens
