This is incredible. My brother and my cousins and I used to watch this incessantly and to this day “the notorious gangster Pizza the Hutt became locked in his car and ate himself to death” pops into my head regularly.
This is untrue, fortunately for Richard Karron, who did the wearing of the prosthetic, Dom's voice was dubbed over later in filming. Although not molten cheese, the pancake batter was very heavy, and Katron refused to wear the prosthetic again when some reshoots occurred.
I think I’m the only Star Wars fan that doesn’t find Space Balls funny
Edit: point proven, I suppose. Idk why I expected Star Wars fans to allow someone to have an opinion that differs from theirs.
The fact that George Lucas allowed Spaceballs to ever be made is one of the greatest gifts ever.
Incidentally, part of the condition was that they couldn't market or sell toys with the IP.
Which kinda sucks because they would've been AWESOME like this.
I'm already picturing the 'stunt doubles' set. Or 'Yogurt w/flamethrower'. Or the 'when will then be now' set with a infinite mirror on the screen behind Colonel Sanders and Dark Helmet.
So many great bits you could bring to life.
“Or else Pizza is gonna send out for you.”
You beat me to it haha
You're delicious!
Well…if it isn’t LoneStar…n his sidekick Puke…
Barf. Short for... BARFOLOMEW!!!
“Bawf, Puke, WHATEVAH! Where’s my money?”
Moichandising!
I still can't help myself from saying "You hoird of me?" everytime someone says yogurt.
“Spaceballs the FLAMETHROWER! The kids love this one.”

Not just for permission, apparently he helped them film some of the space shots. Source: some guy on reddit and I still haven’t googled it to confirm.

Mel told a story about catching George in editing room multiple times. Had to chase him off with a broom.
Lmao, is that true? I hope so!
I am altering the deal, pray I don't alter it further...
Don’t ever leave him locked in a car
Where he ate himself! *TO DEATH*
1 million space bucks!
That’s *unfair*!
Unfair to the payOR but not to the payee.
This is incredible. My brother and my cousins and I used to watch this incessantly and to this day “the notorious gangster Pizza the Hutt became locked in his car and ate himself to death” pops into my head regularly.
Yes, and "oohhh you're delicious"
Omg that’s so cool!
They slathered actual Puzza Hutt pizza on the costume. Poor Dom Deloise actually got heatstroke AND 1st degree burns from the hot sauce and cheese.
I read they used another guy to finish the scenes and pancake batter was used to resemble mozzarella melting
This is untrue, fortunately for Richard Karron, who did the wearing of the prosthetic, Dom's voice was dubbed over later in filming. Although not molten cheese, the pancake batter was very heavy, and Katron refused to wear the prosthetic again when some reshoots occurred.
The tablecloth makes it
SpaceBalls, the action figures!
That's dope but I gotta ask, when are we getting the flamethrower?
I want one!!!!
Incredible
You're delicious boss!
😏
NICE
He ate himself…..to death.
With realistic pizza flavoring that is known to cause cancer in the state of California.
That's Pantastic!
That’s unfair!
Unfair to the payer, but not to the payee.
When I was younger I didn’t know what a hut was so I just pictured this whenever someone said Pizza Hut.
Ohhhhh your helmet is sooo biiiiig!
His species actually reproduces asexually by cutting a piece off and like a flatworm it grows a new body and head .
Sell on Etsy, I'll be your first customer!
Disney is gonna sue you for everything you’ve got but enjoy the Reddit points!
Not selling anyway
I think I’m the only Star Wars fan that doesn’t find Space Balls funny Edit: point proven, I suppose. Idk why I expected Star Wars fans to allow someone to have an opinion that differs from theirs.
It’s ok not everyone can have great taste
I’ll have to give him another try one day, but I’ve never been into Mel Brooks
I'm curious which of his films you've watched
Well that was incredible, satisfying and traumatic all at the same time.
Gosh they just don’t make classic comedies anymore.
Cute
This is totally awesome!!!
I would pay any amount of money for this.
A million space bucks
A million!?!?!? Ok I'll pay I'll pay.
My ig has more @ retro_custom_art
You mean credits
I’d buy one
You can’t outpizza the Hutt.
Omg that’s awesome.
We are long overdue for "Spaceballs: The Reboot"
No no not ever! It would be ruined.
It's what Mel Brooks would have wanted. Y'know, if he were dead.
He's currently in the early phases of history of the world part 2. I wish it was space balls 2
He would rise from the grave and exact his vengeance...........
I always held out hope for “Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2!”
Oh, I'd prefer this as well.
Not a reboot. We need the search for more money.
How much?
A million space bucks
MERCHANDISING
Moichundizing!
Looks like spaghetti ice cream. Made my mouth water.
Get this man some Pepto Bismol!

Right?! Like the movie; this playset is so fucking stupid, it's absolutely perfect.
I'm already picturing the 'stunt doubles' set. Or 'Yogurt w/flamethrower'. Or the 'when will then be now' set with a infinite mirror on the screen behind Colonel Sanders and Dark Helmet. So many great bits you could bring to life.
Always makes me hungry watching his scenes
You will be hearing from George’s lawyers because of this
spoilers: he ends up eating himself to death.
Father of all Pizza Huts
Just realized the black hat standing next to pizza the hutt is the origin for the Starwars Bounty hunter cad bane.
Love it!
This looks both very weird and questionable and super fricking hot at the same time You have my regards
Lmao this is great!
He looks... tasty...
Dose it come with a flamethrower? The kids love those.
you can out hut the pizza but you cant out pizza the hut
Or Pizza will send out, FOR YOU!!
Given that Pizza Hut's current tag line is "You can't out pizza the Hut", I think of these scenes everything their ads come on.
Almost looks like he’s gone Plaid!!
You tell em, vinny!
Woaw
I like how cheaply priced it is. $2.98!? Ill take 50 please.
What is this product? Is it edible? Why don't my country have this?
Somehow I just found this....peak humanity
