Robin Hood: Men in Tights

1993 PG-13 1h 44m DVD
  • Overview
  • Details
It's the classic tale of Robin Hood ... reenvisioned by comic master Mel Brooks. As evil Prince John (Richard Lewis) oppresses the people, Robin (Cary Elwes) steals from the tax collectors, triumphs in an archery contest, foils (literally!) the Sheriff of Nottingham (Roger Rees) and makes goo-goo eyes at Maid Marian (Amy Yasbeck). The titular musical number, involving song, dance -- and, yes, men in tights -- is an undisputed highlight.
