Spaceballs (1987)

Spaceballs, a comedic parody of science fiction films, does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative and humor are focused on satirizing genre tropes and pop culture, without engaging with queer identity in any capacity.

The film features Princess Vespa as the primary female character involved in action sequences. Her combat engagements primarily involve the use of a laser gun against male opponents. There are no scenes depicting her or any other female character defeating male opponents in close-quarters physical combat, hand-to-hand, or with melee weapons.

Spaceballs is an original parody film, not a direct adaptation or reboot of existing source material. While its characters parody established figures, they are new creations for this film, and thus do not meet the definition of a gender swap.

Spaceballs is an original parody film with characters created specifically for this movie. No character in Spaceballs has a prior canonical, historical, or widely established race from source material or previous installments that was altered.
