dark helmet and lone starr

Nexus · May 14, 2002, 01:08 PM

out of these two who are the best? dark helmet gets my vote!

Dark Helmet all the way - he was a better-fleshed-out character than Lonestar, who was just a cardboard cutout

Of course, that could be the way Lonestar is meant to be - to fit in with the cheap Space Opera image

Dark Helmet is better. "You know that! You all know that!"

ThinWLady · May 15, 2002, 02:33 AM

Neither. Dark Helmet was funnier than Lone Starr but the last one was the handsome hero, so...

Exacly... and as this was a COMEDY, Helmet gets my vote!

Dark Helmet was perfect. I couldn't believe my eyes when he first appeared on the screen. A little menacing at first and then his guards stood back and we realised how tiny he was.....

You should have put a "Both" vote in there, so I could pick it. I liked them both. I thought that their characters were funny and worthwile to watch.

As the question is 'who is better?', a 'both' option would not make sense. If you think that one is not better than the other, then you should pick 'neither'. If both are equally good, then neither is better.

Dark Helmet gets my vote...

But I particularly liked the RV the most.

BalrogTim · May 24, 2002, 04:32 PM

Good point Sf, thanks. I'll be sure to think of that the next time I make a poll.

Then I change my vote to neither. They were both equally better than the other (now figure THAT one out).

I vote for the giant spaceship at the beginning of the film. That was hilarious, totally ripping on Star Wars. The ship goes on and on and you can hear the music restarting a few times. Then the license plate: "We brake for no one".

BalrogTim · May 24, 2002, 05:48 PM

I don't know if the ship qualifies as a character or not. Well, I guess that if Strauss's music can be a character in 2001, then the ship can be a character in Spaceballs!

I think its just hella great how Helmet overpronounces things in that Vader-style voice. His pronounciation of "May I speak with you please?" always gets me laughing madly.
