As noted in the page quote discussion, the image on the Spaceballs page is too small to look good with the opening scroll as the quote. I suggest using the film's poster for the image:

That might fix the opening crawl, too, since right now the last paragraph is offset from the rest (at least on my current monitor) because it's below the current image.

Tested the OP image in a sandbox of the current page, and it worked a lot better with the suggested image than with the current one, particularly the issue mentioned [up].

In short: [tup] on the OP image.

(If the page quote is later changed to something longer, though, that might become a problem...)

Aside from a "Spaceballs: the X" gag, I can't think of a caption.note

I like Berrenta's caption idea.

The Star Wars pages have a quote from their respective films as the caption. We can find something from Spaceballs if we choose to go that route.

Looking at them, they also tend to choose fairly straight-faced quotes, which wouldn't entirely jive with the comedic/Self-Demonstrating angle the Spaceballs page appears to be going for.

(Although being a comedy, pretty much all of the most-memorable lines are gags, so)

12 is perfect. It's in and tagged; locking up.
