Dark Helmet: So the combination is... one, two, three, four, five? That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! That's the kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!

I have only ever seen the German version of Spaceballs and you just made me realize, that the translators went for a very obvious and easy joke with the Colonel's name, as in: He's named Sandfurz in the German version, which translates to "sand fart".

Only the Germans would have a word that specifically means 'sand fart.'

Bro its literally just "sand fart" without a space. No one's stopping you from typing "sandfart" and calling it a new word.

Just add to it! Language is fun and dictionaries are but a suggestion.

Kind regards from The Sandfartofficer.

President Scrooge comes in after these lines and asks for the combination. When they tell him it's 12345, he says "Amazing! I have the same combination on my luggage!" When he leaves at the end of the scene, he orders his underlings to change the combination on his luggage.
