John Candy Ad-Libbed One of the Best Jokes
John Candy played Lonestarr’s Chewbacca-like mawg (half-man, half-dog) companion, Barf. (Spaceballs is not a subtle movie.) Brooks says he ad-libbed one of the movie’s best lines when he and Lone Starr’s flying RV crash-lands in the desert:
“Well, that’s gonna leave a mark.”
Chris Farley later borrowed the line in 1996’s Tommy Boy.
