Man, the comments I have been reading at some boards. Don't like the jokes, doesn't hold up, haven't watched it in a super long time ... I think some people's Schwartz have gone flaccid.
I wonder. Will Spaceball Two be an EVEN LARGER starships, or will they only make it look like it is a HUGE spaceship until you get to see it scaled next to something else?
I LOVE the oirignal Space Balls movies.
But after how painfully dated and 'just more of the same' that "History of the World Part II" show on Netflix was...I'm not sure I want a sequel. Plus...how can it be the same without Barf and Dottie Matrix?
You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.Finally after seeing the characters in Star Wars all get their happy endings ruined by the new movies, I don't want the same happening to their Space Balls counterparts.

I see three issues with Spaceballs II: The Search for More Money:I LOVE the oirignal Space Balls movies.

Uh...yes it did? The evil Space Balls Empire pursues and ultimately kidnaps the runaway princess of the Planet Druidia to force her father to surrender Duridia's air to their own, air-insufficient planet. Said princess is aided by a space trucker and his mog who were hired by her father to bring her back to the planet. While stranded on a desert planet the trucker and the princess fall in love and the trucker is inducted in the mystical ways of the Schwartz by the wise Yoghurt. The Space Balls take them all prisoner which leads to a sequence of jail breaks and infiltrations that culminate in a show-down aboard the Mega Maid above the skies of Druidia. The princess and planet are saved, the Space Balls are defeated, and the space trucker, who's really a space prince and the princess get to marry.1) The original movie doesn't really have a plot
I agree with that, but I still say the humour was very dated. Like, for example, the sketch about the cave women inventing fire just so they could smoke pot. I mean really a joke that just amounts to "hurhurhur geddit, it's marijuana!" in a day and age when it has been both legalised and normalised in so many places? Jokes like that just seemed like they belonged in the 70s or 80s, when they would have been "risqué"3) Why I felt History of the World Part II ultimately failed was the over-reliance on referential jokes to contemporary media. You'd have to have seen Peter Jackson's Beatles documentary, a lot of modern reality TV, etc for any of it to really land. And every time they tried to refer back to the first movie, it really fell flat.
