Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Mel Brooks is working on Spaceballs 2 at Amazon, and from Avatar to Interstellar to Everything Everywhere All at Once, there are plenty of recent sci-fi movies that the sequel could spoof. Brooks’ classic original Spaceballs movie from 1987 was primarily a parody of the original Star Wars trilogy.
There are plenty of things in the Star Wars sequel trilogy to make fun of. The bigger Death Star of The Force Awakens is practically a self-parody. From Maz Kanata’s broken promise about “another time” to Rey randomly hijacking the Skywalker name, there are a ton of potential gags in the Star Wars sequels’ worst moments.
Moonfall is exactly as ludicrous as it sounds, and it’s perfect for a parody because it’s almost a parody of itself. The transformation of Spaceball I into the Mega-Maid – a giant robotic maid with a vacuum cleaner – is easier to take seriously than the premise of Moonfall. A moon falling out of orbit into a planet is just stupid enough to work as the main conflict of a Spaceballs sequel.
The second part of Rebel Moon is a bit more tolerable, since it dives into the high-octane battle sequences promised by the first part, but it’s still impossible to care about these characters. The one-note characterization, overuse of slow-motion, and blatant plagiarization of sci-fi masterworks make Rebel Moon ripe for parody. Maybe some good can come of Snyder’s sci-fi slog after all.
4 Everything Everywhere All At Once It’s rare that the Academy recognizes sci-fi movies, but Everything Everywhere All at Once swept the Oscars in 2023. The Michelle Yeoh-starring multiversal epic has become a staple of pop culture – especially with its oft-quoted “laundry and taxes” line – and, as such, would be a great satirical target for Spaceballs 2 to take aim at.
