    Not only did Lucas endorse this movie, he let them use ILM (the VFX studio he founded) to do the VFX for it which is why the production value is so high. His only condition was that they couldn’t sell any products related to the film, hence the merchandising gag.

    The scene with Pizza the Hut could only be filmed once. The interior of the costume was practically an oven. Think about it, that was real melted cheese, sauce, bread and pepperoni. The actor had to be pulled out due to heat exhaustion (if not heat stroke). Afterwards, the actor received medical advice not to get in the costume again and then he refused to do so once he was back on set. No other actors would get in the costume after they saw what happened to the original actor, so they had to use what film they managed to get on the first and only recording.

He had a couple stipulations like no merchandise could be sold for the movie and the character Lone Star couldn’t be like Han Solo so he did Indiana Jones. 21:42 they were working on the sequel “Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2”. 27:59 how else were they going to let the air out on their planet? 32:30 for the circus that’s on the ship. 33:47 did you catch the joke with the prince? His name was Prince Valium and was always tired. They said earlier he was a pill. 36:15 “Planet of the Apes”. 36:50 I thought it was funny they had the costume change for Lone Star and Barf.
