I was watching a Mel Brooks interview years ago and he was asked about a Spaceballs sequel. His answer made me laugh so much. He said " I don't make 2's, but If there was another movie it would be Spaceballs 3: The search for Spaceballs 2" 😂
He should make a prequel. Spaceballs -1: The Inconvenient Menace It could feature Al Gore discovering the Spaceballs plans to extract air from Druidia, and fruitlessly attempting to warn the universe about it.
Rise of Skywalker gives a lot of good material for the suggested title for Spaceballs 2 (The Search for More Money) in universe though. "Somehow Palpatine returned" "How?" "Merchandising merchandising metchandising" "and getting butts in seats" "well ok I guess those are good enough reasons for me" It's HILARIOUS!!!
“I love Mel Brooks, he’s just a National Treasure.” -Mark Hamill Couldn’t agree more, but I’m betting most people around the world consider him a treasure of the human race...
I'm so impressed that Mark Hamill not only know knows _about_ the movie, but knows the characters _in_ the movie. I can totally just imagine him sitting at home, watching Spaceballs.
@Akilleus The thing is that some people get really offended or triggered when there's a movie poking fun at what they did or that reboots something they did (just look at what's going on with Ghostbusters). I mean...granted, that's more of a recent trend then anything. I'm sure that if Boris Karloff had lived to see it, I bet he would've enjoyed Young Frankenstein.
Mark Hamill has good taste and seems like a humble, nice guy. Love "Spaceballs" and glad he mentioned the ORIGINAL "Producers", one of my all-time favorite movies.
The line, "Hitler, now THERE was a painter, he could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon, TWO COATS!" is one of my absolute favorites of all time:D
Glad to hear from Mark about the film that started it all -Spaceballs. George Lucas was a fan as well, otherwise would we have had all the great Star Wars films? C'mon, we all really know what film we want to see the next sequel of. Spaceballs III - The Search For Spaceballs II. Make this happen Mr Brooks!
At some point, Rick Moranis is rumored to have approached Mel Brooks in an attempt to get the rights to Spaceballs in order to make "Spaceballs 3: The Search For Spaceballs 2". It never happened, and with Disney owning SW it likely can't now even if he did get the rights to SB.
One of the thinks about Young Frankenstein that not many realize, is that Mel Brooks did not write it -- Gene Wilder wrote it. In fact, Gene Wilder spent years failing to convince Mel Brooks to produce and direct the movie.
That's not true, they wrote it together after Wilder pitched it to Brooks while shooting Blazing Saddles. They ended up being released in the same year. What Wilder had to convince Brooks of was the "Puttin' on the Ritz" number.
I love Star Wars. I love Mark Hamill. And I love Spaceballs. I've memorized it, just like Star Wars, and I'm really happy Mark is ok with it. And yes, I heartily agree Mel Brooks is a national treasure.
Hamill seems kinda annoyed and bothered in the beginning, like he's really bored. I mean, he's not even looking at the guy. Right up until 0:15. Ironically that's how people perceive me when i'm concentrated. Guess he was just paying attention to what he was saying.
After four decades of people loving Star Wars to death he's heard pretty much everything ten thousand times over. We should consider ourselves lucky he still puts on a happy face when people talk about it. I'm just glad his voice acting career took off, largely thanks to Batman the Animated Series. Though Star Wars was a big part of my teen and preteen years, when comparing minute to minute I've actually gotten more entertainment value from his voicework than anything he's done for Star Wars.
Well imagine talking about the same thing or people telling you the same thing over and over for decades, eventually you will get pretty sick of it. That's why Harrison Ford doesn't even like talking about Star Wars he hates it.
Mel Brooks is also better when he is making fun of things that he cares about one way or another. Young Frankenstein is great partly because Brooks loved the Universal monster movies. He's good at mocking both Nazis and show business in The Producers because they are both things he feels very strongly about. Spaceballs is fine, but Brooks just doesn't care enough about Star Wars for it to be one of his best movies. I got to meet Mel Brooks once, and he was exactly as funny and charming as I hoped.
Adam: Are aware that 'Young Frankenstein' was totally Gene Wilder's idea. Mel got involved when the studio asked him to take on the project. But, having said that, Mel Brooks is the greatest purveyor of non-PC comedy. "He said the sheriff is nearer". 😂
It’s really sweet to hear Mark Hamill sound knowledgeable of Mel Brooks and his work and talk positively about it, but Mark looks so checked out in this clip.
I know the shirt he is wearing is designed by his own son and this is probably the main reason he likes it, but still isn't it rather strange that his son just happens to design a shirt with devilish looking Disney icon on it and Mark seems to like it? :-D
This brief interview is a national treasure. Thank you so much for posting it. Mark Hamill is such a class act and has great movie taste. Fun fact: I have seen the original _The Producers_ more times (37) than any other film, although my personal favorite from him is _Blazing Saddles._ And as for Mark Hamill, I got my father to take me to see _Star Wars_ in 1977 when I was 10 years old. That movie changed my life. One of my all-time favorites.
Gotta give it up for Mark. The guy appeared using he same vampire Disney t-shirt in the Big Bang Theory (talk about exposure), countless interviews, even with K.Kennedy besides him. He's so fucking iconic he knows they can't touch him.. He doesn't give two f&%ks XD
We have to remember Spaceballs was not a ripoff. It was a wonderful parody of a legendary film like A New Hope. Spaceballs was incredibly funny and shouldt be seen as a copy.
I don't think anyone with two active brain cells to rub together think it's a "copy". I don't know anyone who does. People like its parodying material (I do) or they don't. A copy? I shudder to think if people did think that....
Imagine having *literally* millions of guys of all ages wanting to have the same 10-20 conversations with you.... Add to that, his age, all the travel, jet-lag, etc... It's a miracle he's as functional as he is.
Mark Hamill is awesome deft one of my favourite actors after seeing him in Star Wars. He even threw some love to the late great John Candy. (Uncle Buck). 👍🏼
I saw spaceballs first as well, not consciously, but when I was very young, probably saw the original movies as a child as well, but also too young to recall. So when I got into movies at around 14 or so year old I watched the original movies, but I had this visceral memory of Darth Vader and Luke fighting each other with lightsaber rings and one of them losing it. So when it didn't happen I had this intense feeling of the Mandella effect until I finally saw space balls years later and had it click.
@@hypercomms2001 *Mark Hamill had finished wrapping up scenes for The Last Jedi during the time of that interview - so he knew that Disney had destroyed Star Wars and humiliated and destroyed Luke Skywalker - hence his mood and the shirt he was wearing in the interview.*
You also have to realize that Mel Brooks would not be aloud to make those kind of movies today. Young Frankenstein, and Men in Tights are my two favorites.
@@mayhemx9 it was Mel's looney point. Like Mark said, the concept was funny, so Mel had to pull out all of the stops to create the masterpiece. I think as more star wars movies are made, spaaceballs is getting stronger as time goes by.
Should have won the award for "Best Spoof Movie Opening of All Time": "Very Very Long Vehicle. We Take 5 Light Years To Brake. WE BRAKE FOR NO-ONE!". I just have to think about this and it makes me giggle.
just 2 guys vibin. you almost forget that Luke Skywalker and the Joker is right there, and it's kinda beautiful. Mark is a dude, a regular guy, who has a knack for acting and landed some pretty memorable roles
So Hamill not only loves SCTV as I do, but he also picks his favorite Mel Brooks movie as the same one I love, along with the secondary wouldn't be my second choice... Way cool
0:44 Young Frankenstein will always be my favorite Mel Brooks movie. Brooks also took a turn from comedy and co-produced David Lynch's The Elephant Man, alongside his assistant director from High Anxiety, Jonathan Sanger.
In Mel Brooks’s autobiography, he said that a Spaceballs sequel is still not out of the realm of possibility. If it happens, it would be fun to see Mark in a cameo.
Re-watched Spaceballs last week and I gotta say it's actually a gem. It's aged amazingly well, better than most of Brooks' other movies -- including the Rocky 5000 joke, which gets even funnier every 3-4 yrs and another Rocky somehow comes out with Stallone in a wheelchair with dementia or something. The merchandizing jokes get better with age too, as we watch Disney find new ways to ruin Star Wars in the effort to merchandize it. It's actually moved up my list of Mel Brooks favorites, right in toe with Young Frankenstein and the Producers.
Mark Hamill is ALSO a national treasure! And I totally agree with him on the rankings of Mel Brooks movies - The Producers at #1, Young Frankenstein at #2, and Blazing Saddles at #3.
To Be or Not To Be is my fave Mel Brooks movie. I love Blazing Saddles, and many others, but the remade 2B is just so sharp and witty and has so many brilliant performances. Same as Clue! Snappy dialogue that just keeps coming at you. Lots of very witty stuff you can miss if you aren’t paying attention.
Regarding Mel Brooks, I didn't realize how old he was until recently. Following the death of Henry Kissinger, I Googled a bit to see if there were any other living celebrities who had fought in WW2... Mel Brooks turned 18 in 1944, and then headed off to Europe. D-Day had already happened before he got there, but he was involved in the Battle of the Bulge. Like most WW2 vets I have heard relating their stories, he was decidedly modest. Yes, he acknowledged that he saw combat in the Battle of the Bulge, but he was then quick to point out that he was nowhere near the area where the worst of the fighting was. Even if he doesn't want to be described as a hero, and he only played a small role at the end of the war, he is still part of the reason why the Third Reich ended and the Holocaust death camps were shut down. That makes him a hero in my book, and then he also made many great movies too.
I had a similar experience when I first saw the Kentucky Fried movie which contained "For a Fist Full of Yen", a parody of Enter the Dragon. As a result I was snickering at most scenes when I finally did watch Enter the Dragon.
opening scene - "I've seen spaceballs before starwars" epic! But what would of been cool in 1987, was Lego Spaceballs. So thankful for starwars legos though.
I feel bad for the way Disney has treated the character of Luke...Mark wasn't too pleased about it, either, but he'd already signed the contracts...poor guy.

I love Star Wars and I love Spaceballs. Watched both countless times.
My favorite Mel Brooks moment is his definition of the difference between tragedy and comedy. "Tragedy is when I get a hangnail. Comedy is when you fall into a manhole and die."
@@richardm3023 No. A lot of them are under 18. But I bet Mark Hamil has to swallow a few smart ass answers when he gets asked a question for the 10,000 time.
The scariest thing is I only just bought a copy of Spaceballs from a pawnbrokers yesterday for a dollar and this pops up on my recommended today. Coincidence? I think not. Brilliant movie though. RIP Barf.
I LOVE SPACEBALLS EXTREMELY SO MUCH THAT I GOT A CUSTOM T-SHIRT(WITH LORD HELMET SAYING "I KNEW IT I'M SURROUNDED BY ASSHOLES" LITERALLY SURROUNDED) I'M STILL SURPRISED THAT BILL PULLMAN IS IN SPACEBALLS. DAMN SHAME THAT THERE'S NEVER GOING TO BE A SEQUEL

I'm Now Hoping He Also Does a "History of the World Part III"
He should make a prequel.
Spaceballs -1: The Inconvenient Menace
It could feature Al Gore discovering the Spaceballs plans to extract air from Druidia, and fruitlessly attempting to warn the universe about it.
Rise of Skywalker gives a lot of good material for the suggested title for Spaceballs 2 (The Search for More Money) in universe though.
"Somehow Palpatine returned"
"How?"
"Merchandising merchandising metchandising"
"and getting butts in seats"
"well ok I guess those are good enough reasons for me"
It's HILARIOUS!!!
That made my day laughing like that
Going on that, I'd watch it in a heartbeat.
"So you met Dark Helmet before Darth Vader?" It felt like he was saying "So you met Dark Helmet before you met my father?".
So what does that make them?
Absolutely nothing!
So you met my father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate before my father?
I knew Spaceballs before I saw Star Wars.
So he met his fathers roommate bevor he met his father
“I love Mel Brooks, he’s just a National Treasure.” -Mark Hamill
Couldn’t agree more, but I’m betting most people around the world consider him a treasure of the human race...
Count me in that list.

Look who's talking - Mark you're AWESOME
We consider him a galactic treasure.
Very much so.

Florian, what do you mean?
the Npc mob would go crazy to shut down any movie Mel brooks make...so sadly not untill the Npc libitards are all dead.
Spaceballs was a spoof of star wars, not the other way around lol. Star wars was out for ten years before Spaceballs happened.
@@TheExplosiveGuy He's joking, you dense nubhead.
Love how we hear Hamill's opinion on that movie! John Candy was awesome, he died too young. :(
Kind of wish there was a Spaceballs 2, too.
You have lovely grammar.
Spaceballs 2; The search for more money.
At some point, Rick Moranis is rumored to have approached Mel Brooks in an attempt to get the rights to Spaceballs in order to make "Spaceballs 3: The Search For Spaceballs 2". It never happened, and with Disney owning SW it likely can't now even if he did get the rights to SB.
spaceballs 2 the last jedi

I like how he's wearing a vampire mouse shirt, screams a whole lot about Disney 😆
Mark hamill is obviously a star wars fan, even if he doesn’t read the books
That's unexpected, but welcomed
He's a regular human realtor. Not Jim the vampire.
He seems to be the only one left who still actually cares about Georges Vision..
Which is.. kinda ironic.. yet again.. he’s Luke…
The same he had in The Big Bang Theory 😄

That's why Harrison Ford doesn't even like talking about Star Wars he hates it.

Mark's right about Mel Brooks being funnier when he parodies serious stuff. *Star Wars* is already funny.

Street beef with Johnny Larue

Now that Mark Hamill is older, he looks like a distinguished university professor. He looks so learned and educated.

My favorite Mel Brooks moment is his definition of the difference between tragedy and comedy. "Tragedy is when I get a hangnail. Comedy is when you fall into a manhole and die."
You know that movie Young Frankenstein? SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME!
I saw Spaceballs when I was 4 years old, and Star Wars when I was 12 years old. I thought Spaceballs was the actual Star Wars movie for so many years.
"I love Mel Brooks; he's just a national treasure."
So are you, Mark. So are you.
Love Mark Hamill. He's a national treasure.
The Producers with Zero Mostel is the absolute best movie. Makes me laugh every single time.
The light is really bright on his face because there are two suns.
I wonder if Mark Hamill saw Robin Hood: Men in Tights.
Speaking of which, I never saw it. Did they have a cameo from Adam West and Burt Ward? Because they totally should have...
@@IrishCarney that movie is one of the greats. Watch it you must.
If he's lucky, no.
I'm an English teacher and his face reminds me of mine when I run into students on my day off and they want to ask about exam advice.
Do you ever tell them to "drink heavily right before the exam"? Just to see what happens.
@@richardm3023 No. A lot of them are under 18. But I bet Mark Hamil has to swallow a few smart ass answers when he gets asked a question for the 10,000 time.
@@penhdog2207 what if I were to say, accidentally drop a 20, and you talk, all hypothetically of course, about what could be in the essay section?
The scariest thing is I only just bought a copy of Spaceballs from a pawnbrokers yesterday for a dollar and this pops up on my recommended today. Coincidence? I think not. Brilliant movie though. RIP Barf.
I LOVE SPACEBALLS EXTREMELY SO MUCH THAT I GOT A CUSTOM T-SHIRT(WITH LORD HELMET SAYING "I KNEW IT I'M SURROUNDED BY ASSHOLES" LITERALLY SURROUNDED) I'M STILL SURPRISED THAT BILL PULLMAN IS IN SPACEBALLS.
DAMN SHAME THAT THERE'S NEVER GOING TO BE A SEQUEL
Havent seen any SCTV in YEARS!!! Must revisit one day...
Search your feelings, Mark, you know you love Spaceballs too!
I agree with Mark Hamill. Young Frankenstein, Fantastic. Blazing Saddles, Love it. Spaceballs, not so much.
