Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
A wild and star-studded parody of 'Star Wars', in which the fair Princess Vespa must be rescued from the malevolent clutches of arch-villain Lord Dark Helmet, giving rise to a series of heroic escapades, Mel Brooks for some reason decided to wait a decade before spoofing Star Wars and its ilk, and ten years was certainly too long to wait for this relatively weak offering from the comedy director. That said, there are a fair few laughs, mostly from Rick Moranis as Vader clone Dark Helmet and the late John Candy as the reliable space dog, Barf.
