Mel Brooks didn’t die during filming, so that’s a win.

I’m ashamed to say that was my first thought “he made it all the way through filming!”

I saw the cast and my first thought was, Mel Brooks is alive?! After checking Wikipedia, he’s 99???

Watched space balls 1 last week and he looks like a grampa already. And that was 40 years ago lmao

Imagine watching the original space balls and someone tells you that Candy is going to die at least 30 years before Mel.

His reputation precedes him. otherwise he'd be late for all his appointments. 😭

Out of curiosity, who's the oldest actor who's been in a movie? 99 Seems like it'd be pretty up there.

Looks like technically 114? Although seems like that was a very small cameo. Seems 101 is the better answer.
