Rick Moranis is coming out of retirement to play Dark Helmet in Spaceballs 2, but he reprised the role once before on a sitcom.

Millions of voices suddenly cried out in pleasure upon learning that Mel Brooks, who turns 99 in less than two weeks, will appear in the forthcoming Spaceballs sequel as the profit-hungry guru Yogurt.

One of the biggest reference points for Spaceballs wasn't a sci-fi film, but a Frank Capra classic, 1934's It Happened One Night.
