May the farce be with you in this hysterically funny space oddity, created by comic
genius Mel Brooks, that will send you into hyperspace with fits of laughter! Lampooning
everything from Star Wars to Star Trek, this outrageous send-up of epic sci-fi movies is
full of cosmic crazies who score “eight trillion on the laugh-meter” (Gene Shalit, NBC-TV)!
Fearless – and clueless – space heroes Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) and his
half-man/half-dog sidekick Barf (John Candy) wage interstellar warfare to free Princess Vespa (Daphne
Zuniga) from the evil clutches of Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis). On the way to the rescue – in their Winnebago – they
confront the huge, gooey Pizza The Hutt (voice of Dom De Luise), sassy robot Dot Matrix (voice of Joan
Rivers) and a wise little creature named Yogurt (Mel Brooks), who teaches them the mystical power of “The
Schwartz” in order to bring peace – and merchandising rights – to the entire galaxy!
