Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Millennium Falcon from the Star Wars saga makes a cameo appearance in this movie. Take a close look at the exterior shot of the Space Diner, and it can be spotted parked there among the other space vehicles. George Lucas got a chance to read the screenplay before production began, and loved it so much that he decided to have his special effects company, Industrial Light & Magic, help make this movie.
- GoofsThe footprints of the crew, actors and horses in the Planet of the Apes (1968) scene are all visible on the ground, possibly as a reference to the same goof in the original movie.

- Crazy creditsIn the style of the "Star Wars" movies, there are no opening credits, only the title followed by a crawl.
- Alternate versionsA few streaming versions (like on Amazon Prime) replace the song Good Enough by Van Halen with She Ain't Lonesome by Steve Fisher during the diner scene.

Most fun thing about the movie is Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet who is the complete opposite in every way of the ultimate bad guy from the entire universe; Darth Vader, especially in size. Like almost every other Mel Brook's movie this movie has some extreme hits and some extreme misses, by seriously it all is just a matter of taste. What might seem funny for some is unfunny to others and vice versa.
The acting is over the top and quite bad actually especially Bill Pullman and Daphne Zuniga. Thank goodness that the sidekicks are the better and funnier characters in this movie, characters with poetic names such as Barf, Colonel Sandurz, Major Asshole, Yogurt and Pizza the Hutt.
The movie suffers from some horrible eighties songs, the curse of almost every eighties movies these days, other than that, there isn't much negative to say about his movie even though it is far from Brook's best.
7/10
