[[folder: how did they get away with so much swearing in a PG movie?]]
* They say "assholes" multiple times and even get away with one "fuck". Shouldn't it be at least PG-13?
** The MPAA was a lot looser back then. There were even some PG and PG-13 films with ''nudity'' at that time!
** To go into a little more detail: PG-13 was first introduced in 1984, just three years prior to this film, and it took some time before the MPAA adopted uniform standards on what fell into that rating and what didn’t. This was one of just a few films from after PG-13 was introduced to get a mere PG despite featuring the f-word. (Two other examples are ''Film/{{Big}}'' and ''Film/{{Beetlejuice}}''.) By the 1990s, there was a strict rule that even one utterance of the word automatically made a film at least PG-13.

*** Somewhat WMG, but I got the impression they weren’t able to fast forward past the moment they were in. Since they said the movie was still being made, the logical implication is that they can only see the parts that user already happened, not the parts that have yet to happen. The technician didn’t fast-forward from the “now” scene, he rewound, as the desert scene occurred earlier in the film.

*** No, I think you’re confusing with “schwantz.” (“Schmuck” in Yiddish also has the literal meaning of penis, but I digress...) “Schwartz” simply means black, both in Yiddish and German.

* In the scene where Colonel Sandurz and Dark Helmet are watching Spaceballs: The Movie why didn't they just watch th whole thing? That way, they could head off various bad things that happen later in the movie (such as the ship self-destructing?

** IIRC, they stopped at the "now" scene; had they watched the movie from that point, it would be the same as the audience watching the movie in real time. This actually leads to another Headscratcher of how the technician was able to fast forward the tape from the "now" scene without the entire movie fast forwarding also.
