    Mel Brooks said on the dvd commentary that if the studio would have let him get away with it, the entire movie would have consisted of 90 minutes of this ship passing by.

      It gives the impression that different parts have different purposes. Yes, it also doubles as false hook for the engines.
      And after rewatching the movie you know exactly what the cylinders are for.

    • @Michael-jw6et
      @Michael-jw6et Рік тому +2

      Nope. The ship being that long was not to set up 'We break for nobody.' If the humor was just that, it could have been a regular sized ship and the effect would have been the same. The comedy in this scene was how ridiculously long the ship is. In fact if 'we break for nobody' wasn't on the back of the ship, the humor would have still been the same. So, I guess what I am saying is, you missed the joke.

    Spaceballs is real masterpiece - funny, interesting, intriguing and very entertaining. Visual effects were awesome too.This parody on Star Wars, Alien, Planet of Apes became my favorite spoof film (along with Galaxy Quest). Bill Pullman, Daphne Zuniga, John Candy, Mel Brooks, Rick Moranis and all others did a brilliant job. Too bad they didn't make a sequel. That-time Spoof films had nice jokes while our modern ones only can use strong language, black humour & sex. No originality these days

    This ship is GINORMOUS, measuring 11km (6.8 miles) in length! Going by the time it takes to view the entire ship, Spaceball One would be traveling at a speed of 237.67 miles per hour! Each one of the engines has a diameter that appears to match the overall length of the LZ-129 Hindenburg, which measured 804 feet long! If one were to send Spaceball One down to the wreck of the RMS Titanic (which lies 2.5 miles underwater at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean), in a direct nose dive, only a third of the ship's overall length would be submerged! I'm also certain that the metal alloys that were used in the construction of Spaceball One would be strong enough to endure the pressures encountered in those kind of water depths.
    UPDATE: Tues, 11/16/2021 @ 00:16 Hours:
    I got more details that will help give a really good idea of the size of Spaceball One: a Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet measuring 250 feet long would take up three quarters of the diameter of the radar dish that is "jammed"! Another place on Spaceball One that you can put the 747 airliner is on top of the bridge of the ship! And the tower supporting that huge radar dish appears to be a bit taller than the Saturn V rocket that took the first men to the moon. Saturn V measures 363 feet tall!

      I dunno, the _Cathedral Terra_ from Gurren-Lagann is the largest actual vessel I've ever seen in media: easily in the ballpark of around *twice the length of our Moons' diameter.* Its' so large that the crewmen have no choice but to rely upon an internal teleportation network to be able to get anywhere around the ship fast enough. Its production capacity alone is frighteningly efficient that in just a matter of minutes; it is able to create an entire armada of Space Gunmen: Mecha that are roughly around 500 meters in height that can themselves house up to 180,000 people outside of combat: easily large enough to support a population equivalent to that of Ontario, California.

      @FuzedBox 9 років тому

      FunkMasterFlex3 It's perfectly accurate. The Eclipse is at least twice as massive, *not* twice as long. Some of the original portrayals showed it as being longer than the Executor, but those have since been retconned; the Executor class is 19km, and the Eclipse is 17.5km. That's from official sources if you care.

    Having seen the STAR DESTROYER at ILM whilst they were making EMPIRE, the 11 ft. new one (as opposed to the 3 footer for NEW HOPE) I was told it took 6 months to build -- hence why it looked so damn cool.
    Now this one! Wowza indeed. Kudos to the effects house and Mel Brooks for creating this outstanding model.
    If they did it these days in CGI, they better get some real artistes as the newbies get lazy and just 'duplicate-duplicate-duplicate' just to get it done. A pity.
