One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
An opening shot of one of those enormous, endlessly flowing, across-the-top-of-the-screen George Lucas space cruisers introduces us into the not-quite-so-serious world of director Mel Brooks' planet "Spaceball", which is attempting to steal the atmosphere.
"Taking advantage of the success of the 'Star Wars' franchise in theaters, legendary filmmaker Mel Broosk decided to write, produce, and direct his vision of the "galaxy far, far away"... The result is a movie that, even without being praised by critics, entertained the generation who watched it in the theaters and, afterwards, those who watched it again on TV. Of course, there are some moments of forced humor, but there are others in which the comedy makes us have a pleasant and genuine laugh."
