Trivia: Mel Brooks asked George Lucas permission to parody "Star Wars" with this film. Lucas was very supportive of the film, and even gave Brooks stock footage from "Star Wars" to use and had Industrial Light and Magic help with the effects. Lucas reportedly loves the finished film.

Trivia: When the 4 heroes are trapped in a hallway and are about to be zapped by stormtroopers, Barf pulls a half-moon tube like thing from the wall so that the shots are ricocheted back to the stormtroopers. We hear the Wilhelm scream when the last trooper is shot.

Trivia: Barf is referred to in this movie as a "mawg"-half man, half dog. However, in the Russian version of the movie, the word "mawg" is translated as "chelobaka"-a portmanteau of the Russian words "chelovek" ("person") and "sobaka" ("dog"), but simultaneously a pun on "Chewbacca," the Star Wars character of whom Barf was a parody.
