  1. Best news I’ve read in a while. Mel Brooks is going out with a bang

  4. Just a shame he has to come out of retirement only to be surrounded by assholes.

  6. If it doesn’t open with “somehow, Rick Moranis has returned” then I’ll burn all my Space Balls action figures

  8. When the movie came out in theaters, my aunt took me for my birthday. I’ve desperately wanted a part 2 since the end credits rolled on part 1. I’m super stoked that I can finally get what I’ve been wishing for.

  10. Rick Moranis: “I never retired. I don’t know where people got that. I took a step back, but I never retired.” 

    Every goddamn website: “Rick Moranis steps out of retirement!”

    Also, homeboy did a mint Mobile commercial and an episode of the Goldbergs in the last few years. So if he was coming out of retirement he did that 7 years ago. 

  14. It’s my father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate!

  15. There is a second Strange Brew in the works as well, you hoseheads.

  16. I imagine Lonestar will be off in a Last Jedi Luke-esque exile over the death of Barf.

  17. Wonder if they’ll do a bit where people keep punching him in the face.

  19. I’m looking forward to this movie but would like this to be spaceballs 3, where they talk about not finding enough money in spaceballs 2

  22. This makes me happy. Rick Moranis was my favorite part of the original, and it wouldn’t be the same if he wasn’t involved this time around.

  23. Spaceballs 2: The Quest for More Money, its about damn time.

  27. If it’s not called Spaceballs 2: The Search For More Money as promised we riot.

  28. Sir, you better buckle up, your career is about to take off to ludicrous speeds!

  29. This is amazing. Dark Helmet is one of his most hilarious characters. Thank you, Gerry Todd.
