Sex & Nudity

  • A woman says someone "beamed her"
  • Dress of a women becomes more sheer throughout the film- losing layers of white dress to the point that you'll be able to see a woman's white underwear through her dress. She will also bend over and you can see her underwear from behind because of the sheer dress.
  • The sex jokes in this movie would've given this movie a PG-13 today.
  • A great deal of dialogue and actions related to sexual innuendos.
  • Brief scene of man puting his face into a woman's breasts (no nudity, only cleavage visible).
  • A character's tail goes up woman's dress just after he commented on another woman's breasts.
  • Scene of a male character "fooling around" under the covers in bed with two women.

Violence & Gore

  • In a parody of "Alien", alien creature bursts from a man's chest. A little slimy but not gory and played for comedy.
  • In one scene, a laser blast from Dark Helmet's ring effectively castrates a man (in a parody of the "Darth Vader force choking" scenes from Star Wars).
  • During a "lightsaber" (Schwartz) fight, a man is shown to have an obviously fake wound as he falls from a camera gantry.
  • Also, Dark Helmet near uses the force on an intern's crotch. (Made for laughs)
  • Some minor violence with laser guns. Many people are shot. No blood, gore, or bullet wounds are seen as it is done in a comical manner.
  • Most of the violence is play for laughs. Lots of slapstick.

Profanity

  • Use of the F-word, "shit", "ass", "bitch", "damn", "hell" and the middle finger gesture.
  • One use of "fuck" that is very brief and easy to miss if you aren't paying attention.
  • Someone gets called a "shithead."
  • 1 use of "fuck", 7 uses of "shit", 1 use of "son of a bitch", 1 use of "bitch", 2 uses of "ass", 7 uses of "asshole", 11 uses of "hell", 1 use of "damn". Pretty strong for a PG rating.
  • A scene full of "assholes"
  • The language in this would've given this movie a PG-13 today.
  • An extended gag, where many of the bridge crew on Spaceball One share the surname "Asshole" and it is repeated throughout the sequence. Since it is some characters' surname the word "Asshole" is listed in the end credits.
  • Instances of "shit", "damn", "bullshit" and other profanities pepper this movie.
  • One use of the word "fuck" in a non-sexual content in the escape pod scene.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Dark Helmet orders his men in one scene "Smoke if you got 'em".
  • One of the "stunt doubles" smokes a cigar.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The appearance of Pizza the Hutt has the potential to be frightening.
  • In the diner at the end, part of a scene revolves around a parody of Alien, where an alien bursts out of a man's chest after he falls to the floor. There is no blood, although some bodily fluids are seen on the man's shirt as he passes out (and we assume dies). The alien is very fake looking and the scene is not meant to be scary.
