Spaceballs

Spaceballs is a 1987 science fiction spoof movie written, directed by, and starring Mel Brooks.

Plot

On Planet Druidia, Princess Vespa (a parody of Princess Leia) is about to get married to the boring and narcoleptic Prince Valium (who is the last prince in the galaxy, and thus they have to marry despite his characteristics). She runs off from the altar with her droid-in-waiting, Dot Matrix, and escapes into space.

Planet Spaceball has foolishly wasted all of its air and is desperate to find more. President Skroob (an anagram of "Brooks," and played by Mel Brooks) and his top military leader, Dark Helmet (a parody of Darth Vader), along with his aide Colonel Sandurz, devise a plan to kidnap Princess Vespa and extort Planet Druidia into giving all of its air to the Spaceballs. If they do not comply, they will reverse Vespa's cosmetic surgery, thus restoring her hooked nose.

Meanwhile, Vespa's father, King Roland, hires two bounty hunters—Captain Lone Starr (a parody of Han Solo and Luke Skywalker) and Barfolomew, aka "Barf" (a mawg, or man-dog halfbreed, who is a parody of Chewbacca), who are desperate for money to pay back their debts to Mafia boss Pizza the Hutt (an obvious parody of Jabba the Hutt, and a pun on the Pizza Hut restaurant chain)—to get Princess Vespa back to Druidia so that she can marry Prince Valium. They are helped by the wise alien sage known as Yogurt (A parody of Yoda) and the mysterious power he possesses, called the Schwartz (parody of the Force, and pun on the German word schwanz, meaning dick, sometimes used in the porn industry).

The movie features a lightsaber duel between Dark Helmet and Lone Starr, but instead of "sabers" as in Star Wars, they create a light beam departing from their Schwartz rings.

In the end, Lone Starr and Barf are able to rescue the princess, destroy the Spaceballs' spaceship, and get the Druidian air back. And at the very end (of course), Lone Starr and Vespa get married. Pizza the Hutt gets trapped and eats himself. As for Skroob, Dark Helmet, and Colonel Sandurz, they survive a crash-landing on the Planet of the Apes.
