John Candy, Bill Pullman, Daphne Zuniga, Dick Van Patten, George Wyner, and Mel Brooks himself are all very talented and create characters that the audience can really identify with. They offer a broad range of personalities that help the film develop its story. Dark Helmet was genius! The over sized helmet, and his way of taking care of people was funny. Vespa is your ordinary snobby, rich kid; and Barf you typical sidekick, and Lone Starr, your "Hero for Hire". References from the original Star Wars trilogy, and other movies such as Aliens, Wizard of Oz, and Planet of the Apes.
It was a great movie all around, just about everyone has a favorite line / scene from this movie. A must have for every collection.
