Dark Helmet: What's wrong with you? Fire across her nose, not up it!
[The gunman turns around and is cross-eyed]
Gunman: Sorry, sir. I'm doing my best.
Dark Helmet: Who made that man a gunman?
Cross-eyed gunman 2: I did, sir. He's my cousin.
Dark Helmet: Who is that?
Col. Sanders: He's an asshole, sir.
Dark Helmet: I know that, who is he?
Col. Sanders: That's his name, "Asshole". Major Asshole.
Dark Helmet: What about him?
Col. Sanders: He's an asshole too, sir.
Dark Helmet: How many assholes we got on this ship, anyhow?
Everyone on the ship: Yo, sir!
Dark Helmet: I knew it, I'm surrounded by assholes.

When Dark Helmet says that there are two sides to every Schwartz, is this an obscure reference to something else, besides the obvious light side and dark side of the force? ["There are two sides to every sword" is a common saying.]

When Spaceball 1 achieves ludicrous speed and overshoots the Winnebago, Barf is heard to remark "they've gone to plaid". Is this just a joke about eighties style special effects or is it a reference to a specific film? [Its a reference to how the stars streak around the ships in "Star Wars". "Ludicrous speed" had to have a ludicrous color. It is also referencing 2001: A Space Odyssey, where this "tartan" effect occurs when Dave is in the pod towards the end of the film.]
