I'd of course heard of this movie since the time, and had several of the jokes spoiled, but I never actually sat down and watched it before. Like most Mel Brooks movies, it's uneven, but on balance it's funny and amiable, especially the much missed John Candy as a mog (man-dog). The very '80s music, (including the title song) aside, the movie doesn't feel as dated as it should, with even jokes about Rambo and early-release VHS (and key-cards!) still accessible, at least to someone my age and over. I've tagged everybody I could.
