    So a sequel of a classic 80s movie, made 40 years later. Is there any chance whatsoever its going to be any good?

      As long as they keep the title Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money I’ll be happy. I mean may as well be honest and upfront about it.

      Normally I would say no. However, with Mel Brooks producing, I will hold out hope!

            I just felt the jokes landed differently when they are written by committie. They didnt have much teeth and they werent punching up as much, they were making fun of mundane things like alchoholism… (Which is now considered a mental health problem, less of a societal one)

        Not for a couple of decades he hasn’t, see Spaceballs the series or crazy history of the world part 2

      Some legacy sequels have turned out alright, so it’s not impossible. I just have to hope that Mel wouldn’t do it unless it was worth doing, he’s got a pretty good track record.

      30% maybe?

      I’ve seen a few good sequel/remakes of classic, but the success rate is pretty low.

      I think a parody concert like this is going to be extra tough.
