At the risk of being crucified, I saw this film once a few years back and found it painfully unfunny.
How could there be a 4k Blu Ray of Spaceballs the Movie? They're still in the middle of making it.
I concur. But whatever makes people happy in this godforsaken year is fine with me.
I literally saw this on Netflix the other day for the first time!!
Hilarious movie!! Best was part finding out the guy who made all the sound effects from Police academy was in it and the merchandising scene.
Funny how the merchandising thing happened because George Lucas asked for there to be no merchandise made from the movie.

Already own it on Bluray but will double dip for 4K.
This is one of my favorite scenes in the movie.

Partial agreement. As a kid it was one of my favorite comedies but re-watching as an adult it doesn't quite hold up.
I already have this on normal blu-ray, will need to see the reviews to see if it is worth the upgrade when it finally releases.
Don't take the gif too literally guys, it's all fun.
As much as I loved Spaceballs, I have it on DVD already and don't really know if I need a 4K version of it.
Men In Tights, on the other hand? If that came to 4K, I'd buy it instantly.

In for one!
Required viewing for those folks who've
1) seen Star Wars 4-6 and
2) enjoy watching stupid silly things.
I am one of those people and still love this movie!

As for the movie's quality, I think that taken as a complete film, it's not great. But it has enough golden bits put in between to make it a sort of comedy comfort food that allows one to easily recollect it fondly while overlooking its sometimes awkward presentation or jokes that just fall flat.
I feel this way about a lot of Mel Brooks movies, actually.

Agreed. I thought it had funny bits but as a movie, it drags a lot with humor that doesn't land and plot that isn't exactly compelling.

Take the video literally, though. It's a goddamn shame.
Eh i love the movie but I can't say it was my kind of humor when I last watched it. Watched when I was like 12, am 30 now. Probably should give it another watch since I own it.
I do love Spaceballs, its aged a bit but not as bad as other Mel Brooks movies have. Or other similar Hollywood comedies have (looking at you Ace Ventura)
But since Robin Wood Men in Tights was mentioned I have to share this.
The lyrics are problematic, but it's fun that people do this for their wedding.

I'm highly suspicious that this'll be the exact same (Laserdisc?) commentary they've recycled for several releases now. Mel Brooks saying "That's (Actor), terrific person, terrific person." for the entirety of the film. Nice in spirit, but barely touches on the actual movie.
I'm glad you took the time out of your day to jump on a thread about a beloved classic comedy's re-release in order to shit on it. Thank you for your contribution.
Man it's even got great cover art too unlike a lot of releases these days.
I would assume it's a re-release as well, but to be fair there isn't much left to say. It's a brilliant Star Wars parody and the videocassette scene is definitely in my Mount Rushmore of hilarious comedy moments...but Mel never got traction for Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money and Rick Moranis is still only barely involved with acting. As much as I think Mel could brilliantly skewer where SW has gone since then, I'm inclined to just assume it will forever stay in the catalog of the Mel Brooks film history and that's that.
(And it's fittingly absurd that the one movie most upfront about making money can't actually do it.)
