One of best parodies ever!

Agreed. Nobody makes good parodies anymore. Instead of nonsensical poop jokes, so much can be accomplished with cleverly written and expertly delivered dialogue. The "Now / Then" scene between Col. Sandurz & Dark Helmet was perfect.

The comedy is genius in this. This kind of spoof have been done before but the jokes are great. The acting is great. There are couple of jokes where the timing is a little off (like the Alien referrence) but it's just funny and entertaining.

Nope, the jokes were stupid and lame. But if you like it, that's why they make chocolate and vanilla.
MAGA! FAFO!

Can't agree there. It's got some great jokes that still land nearly 40 years later. Heck, just the fact that they parody the Jaws theme for Spaceballs 1 is great. And of course the Han Solo parody being dressed like Indiana Jones. Brilliance. Sheer, unadulterated brilliance.
So many stories, so little time. -

I didn’t notice the wardrobe of Lone Star being Indy Jones.
Good catch!
And don’t forget Barf.

For 30 years I missed the wardrobe joke. I only recently caught it because I was rewatching it, and I noticed when Lone Star first appears, he's wearing a cowboy hat; I thought, "I wonder if that's parodying Harrison Ford wearing a cowboy hat in American Graffiti." And then I noticed the rest of his outfit and realized it was actually Indiana Jones. I just burst out laughing.
And yes, Barf was great. One of John Candy's best roles. He made a great sidekick for Lone Star.
So many stories, so little time.
