Robin Hood: Men In Tights

I must be getting old. If you are old enough to remember ever seeing this movie I suggest you get it and watch it.

I've watched this about a dozen times and laugh and catch parts I missed every time. It is almost like Mel Brooks the director of this may have put some Monty Python type jokes. I love the main character, who also played Wesley in the Princess Bride, he is a good fit. Great actors, great jokes. I'll probably watch this a dozen more times before it gets old.

Did you say "Abe Lincoln?"I am Asneez, father of Achoo.

Amen film of thoughts special . Mission love film as one new family member all is care .peace america.

Great movie

Very good comedy from my younger years.

Mel Brooks comedy about Robin hood. Funny stuff and it doesn't take itself seriously. Has a DVD and Blu ray disc inside

I love this little movie--and it is one of my very favorite Mel Brooks movies. They all seem to be having such a good time as they made it. There's something fun/ny happening almost every minute. And "good, clean fun" at that. I didn't enjoy it so much the first time I saw it, but re-watching it gave me a chance to notice every fun, cute little thing going on. Carey Elwes is a charming and fun/ny Robin Hood. Amy Yasbeck is a beautiful and charming Lady Marion. Dave Chappelle added his own kind of fun as Achoo, one of Robin's side-kicks. Dom De Louise did a perfect "God Father/Marlon Brando" take off as Don Giovanni. Mark Blankfield, as Blinkin, became one of my very favorites as Robin's blind servant. I honestly don't know how they kept a straight face while making this film--and straight faces they had. Matthew Porretta, as Will Scarlett O'Hara, had a special energy of fun and excellence as actor, singer, dancer--and I would hope we would see more of him in future. Megan Cavanagh, Dick Van Patten had wonderful parts as Broomhilde, Maid Marion's Lady in Waiting; and the Abbott who is to marry Robin and Maid Marion. Another one of my favorites was a young actor, Corbin Allred, who is so off-beat and hilarious as a distraught child. I wish I could describe what is so funny about this movie--and it is hard to put into words: it's dialogue, it's play on words, it's funny action; it's slapstick, it's............ There is a scene with 3 famous race horse jockies racing camels in the desert. The Sherriff of Rottingham is asked to deliver his bad news as good news, and he laughs hysterically as he does just that. I laugh out loud every time I watch this scene. The play on words: "Rottingham" instead of the Sherriff of "Nottingham;" "H & R Blockhead" is the Accountant who issues the statement about back taxes. "Mrs. of Loxley" is the new wife of Robin of Loxley. And on and on. The dueling scenes featuring mostly Robin are wonderful--and sometimes funny. And it is uncanny how much Carey Elwes looks like Erroll Flynn, one of the original Robin Hoods. I think Mel Brooks was at his all time best on this movie. Not only did he write/direct this movie, he wrote the lyrics of (most of) the (funny) songs--including the rap numbers. Just incorporating rapping sequences into this "olde time story" is pure genius. Mel Brooks has one of the cleverest, most original, quirky, funny minds of all times. Pure entertainment. Right up there with "Blazing Saddles" and "Young Frankenstein." All in all, watching and purchasing this dvd are well worth your time and money.

I remember as a kid back in the 1990s that this film was really funny. As an Adult it shows how bad the film is.It's cheap unfunny kind of comedy. It's suppose to made in England but it obviously made in California.Just a stupid dum film really now. Not funny at all.I'd recommend Scary Movie 4, for me that was the best in the franchise.

There was nothing to like. I m deaf, my father for whom we bought it is also very deaf and there were no subtitles. I think the producers need raking over the coals about this as this means deaf people can't get access. I have seen this film before, with subtitles, so why does this new dvd not have the subtitles?

This movie for any Robin Hood collector is a must. You usuaully find all the drama in the Robin Hood flicks but if it is laughter you are looking for this is the one for you. I have all the Robin Hood movie's and there is just one line in this movie that makes it all worth the buying and sooo very true..." Unlike some Robin Hood's , I can speak with an English accent" LOL. And that is sooo true most movies like the one with Kevin Costner in them, the actors have no ENGLISH accent. Being an American doesn't make a difference one way or another because I am one BUT considering Robin Hood was ENGLISH it does make this movie all the funnier , if not only for this line. Again Mel Brooks pulls off a great spoof , so if ya are one of his fans, this movie is a must.

As inferred by the title of my review - i saw 'Robin Hood: Men in Tights' well before i saw 'robin Hood: Prince of Thieves' to which the film gives much more than a passing nod. In fact it would be over ten years before I would see that film... and in all that time I still thought the film was a great comedic take on the Robin Hood legend, and indeed film history of that particular mythos.When I eventually got round to seeing RH:PoT however, the film took itself to a new level - i spotted more jokes, and more events which caused me to laugh until i was ready to cry.Starring Cary Elwes (the Princess Bride, Saw, Hot Shots, Days of Thunder) and Amy Yasbeck (Wings, Problem Child)the story of Robin, returning from the crusades in Jerusalem to find his family home plundered by the Sherriff, we folw him on his quest to regain his lost home, name and lady, Marian.If you've seen and enjoyed previous Mel Brooks films then this is another one to add to the list of classic comedic parodies from the brains beind Spaceballs and Blazing Saddles. If you haven't then this is a great one to get started with - family friendly, and fun - most kids will be familiar with Robin Hood, and jokes for the grown ups too!

In the pantheon of spoofs, this always seems to get missed out. And that's a shame, because it's genuinely funny. The humour is a little subtle in places, though in others it will come out and smack you in the chops. And there are quite a few references to other films, either of the same period (like a gentle dig or two at Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves for example) or of the same genre (I'll let you spot them) which always amuse me.It's a great film and everyone seemed to be having fun making it, which makes it fun to watch.
