ROBIN HOOD MEN IN TIGHTS MOVIE REACTION | 0:00 - 33:26
ROBIN HOOD MEN IN TIGHTS MOVIE REVIEW | 33:27 - 34:53
Robin Hood Men In Tights Movie Description:
Crusading nobleman Robin of Loxley (Cary Elwes) escapes from prison in Jerusalem and returns home to find that the evil Prince John (Richard Lewis) has confiscated his family estate and is abusing the citizenry. Robin enlists his blind attendant, Blinkin (Mark Blankfield), his friend Will Scarlett O'Hara (Matthew Porretta) and Little John (Eric Allan Kramer) to help regain his home. Robin also hopes to woo the beautiful Maid Marian (Amy Yasbeck), but her chastity belt may prove a challenge.
Robin Hood: Men in Tights is a 1993 American musical adventure comedy film and a parody of the Robin Hood story. The film was produced and directed by Mel Brooks, co-written by Brooks, Evan Chandler, and J. David Shapiro based on a story by Chandler and Shapiro, and stars Cary Elwes, Richard Lewis, and Dave Chappelle in his film debut. It includes frequent comedic references to previous Robin Hood films (particularly Prince of Thieves, upon which the plot is loosely structured, Disney's Robin Hood, and the 1938 Errol Flynn adaptation, The Adventures of Robin Hood).
The film also features Brooks in a minor role; the first time he had appeared in one of his own films in which he does not receive top billing or play the lead role since Young Frankenstein. In addition to Brooks, it features cameos from Brooks regulars Dom DeLuise, Dick Van Patten, and Rudy De Luca.

Thank you for this pick, one of my all time favourites! 🙏
Love watching you explore these movies for the first time. I would recommend watching the 1938 “The Adventures of Robin Hood” if you want to see where some of the plot and aesthetics that weren’t a parody of Prince of Thieves comes from. Hope you enjoy the recommendation and keep up the fantastic content.
Little John was in American pie the wedding as Bear, the gay dancer
"Hot Shots" reactions when =)?
You seem to really like Mel Brooks. *History of the World* is my favorite, personally.
"Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent." That burn was meant to sting.
@@vanyadolly Except it was actually good for what it was lol Best sherif to.
*And then you find out shrek was right and he’s meant to have a French accent...*
One really funny thing about that line is: Cary Elwes had been in America so long at this point that he had to have voice lessons to re-learn his English accent for the movie.
RIP Kevin Costner lmfao
Another fun fact. In the German version he says, "Because, unlike another Robin Hood, I don't cost the producer 5 million."
Fun fact, they actually wanted Sean Connery to be King Richard but he wanted too much money, so they went with Patrick Steward instead.
and thats why he is talking with a scottish accent
Good for them! Connery was a bit of a bastard
@@vanyadolly Don't hate the player - gotta go get yours while you can
i thought it was both money and the fact that Sean wanted to be in a dress too
@@ascendingdemon4801 Every British actor wants to wear a dress.
Fun fact, you asked how where Mel brooks gets his sense of humor, he was a combat engineer for the us army, European theatre. One of his first gags was hooking up a loud speaker and blasting a famous Jewish singer (brooks himself also Jewish) to drown out nazi propaganda. He thought it was hilarious, after the war he wrote “the producers” which features a song called “springtime for hitler”
That is one of the most awesomeness things I have ever heard...I love Mel Brooks but I love him even MORE now.
Heard about that. Think it was on a podcast called, "The Way I Heard It".
@@Mike_Dubo corrrect, and in mike rowes book, but there are interviews where he tells the story also
I've heard that either when they were filming the first movie or rehearsing the stage musical an old man came up to Mel Brooks and said he couldn't portray WW2 like that because "I was in WW2, there's nothing funny about it. To which Mel Brooks replied "You were in WW2? I was in WW2! I didn't see you there!"
It started well before the war. Brooks was a small, weak kid, and the youngest of four brothers in a poor family whose father died when he was two. He dealt with a lot of bullying and teasing growing up, and used jokes and comedy as a way to cope and get out of situations. He turned that into a career in comedy and show business starting at age 14.
This is probably my favorite interpretation of Prince John.
“We shall have a wedding, or a hanging...either way, we all have a lot of fun, huh?”
(Crowd cheers)
Always remember that the crowd that applauds your coronation will also applaud your execution. The people likes a show. - Terry Pratchett (Paraphrased from memory)
I still love Peter Ustinov’s prince john from Disney's Robin hood myself.
@@mckenzie.latham91 Another legend. Loved that movie, still do and I'm pushing 30.
Matt? And why should the people listen to you?!!!
Cary Elways was fantastic in this film, but shout out to the underrated performance of the Sheriff of Rottingham. Dude was absolutely hilarious in that movie
*scoff* He deered to kill a king's dare.
Ah yes. Roger Rees. He was also good as Robin Collcord in Cheers
Roger Rees was the Sheriff passed away 2015
@@Hal-Blue I know. And he was Robin Collcord in Cheers
Elwes*
"Hey Abbott!"
"I hate that guy."
Dick Van Patten was in "Men In Tights: The Series".
OK, it was actually called "When Things Were Rotten".
It actually was a TV series produced by Brooks way back in the 70s.
Dick Van Patten portrayed Friar Tuck.
ruclips.net/video/sh-pHGzmELg/видео.html
It was cancelled after just one year. Good news for Dick Van Patten; he then got the job on "Eight Is Enough".
After my sister got married she took her husbands name 'Abbott'.
Im forever yelling 'hey abbot' at them :)
@@Edd25164605 Do they reply with "LEAVE US ALONE, MEL BROOKS!" ?
The reason you are always impressed by the production put in to Mel's movies is that he truly loves the genres he's parodying. He's making fun as a fan boy.
This was a parody of both Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and The Adventures of Robin Hood starring Errol Flynn, Basil Rathbone, and Olivia DeHaviland from 1938.
Also famously spoofed by Bugs Bunny & Daffy Duck. :P
Also, it's kind of a remake of an old Mel Brooks tv series about Robin Hood (look it up) - seen the abbot? in that old series he played Friar Tuck. Sadly, he was the only one of the old cast that could return...
There's also a reference or two to the Disney animated RH as well.
Yep! A lot of shots are remakes from the Errol Flynn version.
And a few references to 'The Court Jester' as well.
This was Dave Chappells first big movie. He was only 19 at the time. His comedy is very Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy like. It was his big break.
It’s crazy to think about how this is his first film and he’s now probably the most famous actor in the movie.
@@ms.marvelous8156 I'd say he's the second most famous, behind Sir Patrick Stewart.
Damn! I didn't even realize it's Chapelle!
Damn he was a baby! Just like Eddie was 22 in Trading Places
Achoo! 👍
I love how Mel Brooks likes to reuse that "walk this way". Always a classic.
Having the blind guy as look out cracked me up.
"What are you doing?"
...."guessing. I GUESS no one's coming."
Someone is FINALLY reacting to this. That's an instant sub right there.
The fact that he actually understands the jokes is huge, too. Jesus the amount of people who stare right at 5* jokes with a blank face...oof. Great reaction.
Do a search, some other channels have done this movie as well.
Not enough people are reacting to this at all.
I’m so grateful
@@lanmandragoran8337 Dude totally agree. SO many references could go over someone's head but he understood every damn one of em. So great.
Did you notice when Carry Elwes said, “and I can speak in an English accent.” That was a total dig at Kevin Costner for not being able to do an English accent.
And the tights since Kevin did not
It was also directed at Errol Flynn who starred in the classic 1938 version. Much of the story line is actually from that film, like the archery contest and the wild boar on the table.
Love hot shots and deux
Uhhh not when he did this movie.
Kinda like Leo DiCaprio in Man in the Iron Mask smh 😂
“Did you just say, ‘Abe Lincoln’?” cracks me up every time.
I didn’t say Abe Lincoln I said hey blinkin!
Hold the reins man!
I think of Joe Biden’s Secretary of State these days: A Blinken.
Dave Chappell wearing his hat backwards is overlooked so much lol
And the fact that it's a snap on hat in general lol
Blinken can't see because he wears black, not see-through glasses.
Glasses up, Blinken sees. Blinken hits the tree, knocks the glasses back down and goes blind.
I never noticed that before!
Just watched this with my son over Thanksgiving. When Blnkin appears, he said, 'It'd be funny if he could actually see, but can't because of the glasses.' I was so proud of him for predicting that so early on.
I always thought it was because he fell out of the tree stand and it joggled his head causing him to be able to see again but when he hits the tree, it makes his vision go away again.
That's what I thought.@@CptJackSparrow12
“It has Dave Chapelle in it, is it because I’m black?”
Me: “It’s because he’s hilarious.”
I Guess You Didn't See I Was Joking.... Shame, Why At All Would I Be Serious Saying That?
@@HelloMellowXVI No offense, but... you've met people, right?
@@derGhebbet lmao That's No Offense And Yeah I Know The World We're In Today It's Just A Shame That I Said That Comment With A Smile On My Face And Everyone Getting Offended Which Is So Stupid.
@@HelloMellowXVI is Jaden Smith typing for you? Because that's the only other person I've ever seen capitalize every word like that.
Well Now You Know Two
This is what the world needs. More uncontrollable laughter, smiles, and good times... Mell, you’re the 🐐
Yes!! Yes we do ☺️ I miss movies like this... the world is too grim..
"hey that's the dude from the princess bride"
And subscribed
exactly, a man of culture should be subscribed to post-haste.
I saw this in theaters with my mother ... Two rows in front of us were two women (who were obviously high) and they fucking loved every second of this movie. It was a blast watching them let loose and it made our experience even better... Needless to say this movie has a special place in my heart.
This is will always be one of my favorite movies! And yes, that whole "Godfather" scene is a classic. "Don Giovanni, your lizard seems a little....limp."
“Well at my age, you know...”
This movie was Dave Chappelle's first credited acting role and he is amazing in it.
He's good in anything.
@@Blackmjc He's one of the main reasons Screwed 2000 was hilarious.
I think Cary Elwes first learned sword training in The Princess Bride (which came before Robin Hood). From what I read in Cary’s book about making The Princess Bride, him and the actor who played Inigo Montoya were pretty (playfully) competitive about their training so he definitely knows how to handle a sword.
Well a theatre sword, princess bride is flynning at it’s finest.
INIGO Montoya...... not indigo...... /SMH
@@chrismeulen8108 sorry it was spell correct
The actor who played Inigo Montoya was Mandy Patinkin of "Criminal Minds"
"Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent." was meant as a dig to Kevin Costner's version of Robin Hood because halfway through that movie he lost the accent and spoke without the accent.
I heard that in other countries/languages, that line got changed so that the Costner reference remained clear. (e.g.: "Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I do not dance with wolves.")
the priest at the wedding scene was speaking "pig latin", which is done by moving the first syllable of the word to the end, and appending "ay", so "blessings" becomes "essingsblay"
Some dated references: The boy running and screaming was doing a Macauly Culkin "Home Alone" impression.
The Patriot Missile was one of the first "smart" missiles, although it really only served as an interceptor.
The "Men in Tights" song uses the same melody from "Jews in Space".
The reason the men take pantyhose out of eggs is because L'eggs brand used to sell pantyhose in plastic eggs.
Also, Robert Ridgely played the hangman in both this and Blazing Saddles, and this was Dave Chapelles debut film.
I’ve scrolled through a ton of comments looking to see if I should explain the Patriot arrow reference from the competition scene or if anyone had explained it yet and finally saw your excellent comment (in case anyone’s curious, I’ll just add that the Patriot Missile got a ton of press the two years prior to the release of Robin Hood Men In Tights due to Operation Desert Storm dominating the news: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIM-104_Patriot).
@@daytoncharitychicken Isn't it amazing (and a little depressing) remembering how that was the most amazing thing back then, compared to today, when dumb bombs are categorized in the place as WWI flechettes in the minds of the current generation?
And the chop is a reference to the Atlanta Braves who were the top baseball team in the 1990s.
The woman playing the witch is Tracy Ullman. She's a British comedian famous for playing multiple characters. Also, her variety show on Fox back in the day is where the Simpsons originally premiered in the early 90s.
Late 80s.
The Simpsons premiered Christmas 1989
Yes, I agree that as a comedienne her role here was brilliant. Not only did The Simpsons start on her show, she was the original voice of Marge. On top of that, she hated the cartoon. She didn't think anything of it, that it would not go anywhere, and thought it should be cancelled. However, once The Simpsons had gained a level of fame that her show never had, she was known to tout that if it wasn't for her and how her show "nurtured" them; that they would not have made it and if it wasn't for her, we wouldn't have them. She is also known to have mentioned that she was glad that she could help them get a start and happy for their success. Still, she was absolutely brilliant in this movie.
And interesting fact that was that Tracey is a singer too which you remember her song They Don't Know where the video she was in the car with Paul McCartney
@@jlew13jl _The Tracy Ullman Show_ was one of Fox's first two shows along with _Married With Children._ 1987.
Another comedy recommendation: "Death Becomes Her" starring Bruce Willis, Meryl Streep, and Goldie Hawn.
yes, definitely 'Death Becomes her!'
That one is really excellent.
Good call.
Yea that one is absolutely fantastic.
It's a family tradition at our house, ever new years eve.
Good one
WE DONT GET NO TOLLS
WE DONT EAT NO ROLLS
He made that up.
Mel Brooks is a genius with this style of comedy
Mel Brooks is a comedic genius. He well earned his lifetime achievement award.
Oh what you couldn’t catch Kevin Costner’s amazing British accent. It was sooo authentic, it was like he wasn’t even trying. 🙄😝
He didn't need too, the american accent did come from england at that time.
@@borarem At that time? :) In the time of the crusades the English Kings all spoke French.
@@fabianaguilar3537sir patrick should have spoken in his captain picard voice then.
@@borarem yeah, that was such a waisted opportunity.
the only accent that Costner knew was Cardboard. lol
Your next reaction should be "Dracula: Dead and loving it" with Leslie Nielsen (also a Mel Brooks movie) :-)
14:14 You may be too young lol but there once was a metal device ( often red ) you would put on a steering wheel to lock it, called "club". Which is what they're referencing as if the horse was a car. Not so much a bicycle.
Yes but it's also reminiscent of a Kryptonite bike lock.
I Love this movie! I saw it in the theater and I almost peed cause I laughed so hard. I also really like how it wasn’t just a parody of Prince of Thieves but also a lot of other Robin Hood movies. The archery contest is just like the Disney movie.
Thanks for the upload!!
19:31 that young frankenstein reference had me dying 😅😂😂
Hahaha Little John in this really did look like Triple H 😂
Funny you say so, the part was originally meant for Hulk Hogan.
It's actually the dad from the Disney show Good Luck Charlie
He’s also Dave Rogers from The Hughleys and the first dude to play Marvel’s incarnation of Thor in the 1970s Incredible Hulk series
I would recommend tuck and Dale vs Evil.
Brilliant subtle horror-comedy.
I second that
@@krisirisart motion carried
How on earth can you call that movie subtle in any way?
19:49 Mel Brooks himself! Genius!
you did well to watch "Prince of Thieves" before you turned to this classic. Now you can fully appreciate the satire that went into this. Mel Brooks only would parody what he respected (which is why we never got a "Scary Movie" film by him, he disliked 'slasher flicks'), and it shows in this movie!
He did parody Hitchcock movies in High Anxiety. That one seems to get forgotten amidst Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, etc.
@@gerstelb Hitchcock was the master of suspense.
This movie is funny even if you never watched the movie being parodied.
He did mock Friday the 13th in Spaceballs.
The actor who played the hangman in this and Blazing Saddles was a close friend of Brooks. He also played the producer who got busted on pedo charges in the movie “Boogie Nights”.
Great video. Love that you made a disappointed “awww” at the same time as the crowd watching robins song/sword.
Also, watch Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. Martial art movie thats part spoof and part reworking of an actual old martial arts movie
Yesssss!
Shaolin Soccer would be a fun follow up if Kung Pow hits the right notes
@@elvesrus or Kung Fu Hustle
THAT'S A LOT OF NUTS!
I hate both those movies for some reason dont like spoofs of kung fu film
Another great one by Mel Brooks is “History of the World Part 1”!
the line "its good to be a king" is actually a reference to "history of the world part 1"
Even better was History of the World Of 2 😁
I found out about that movie when my dad off handedly said 'You look like the piss boy' .( As a joke, we are Australian.)
I loved this movie.
I'm glad you stuck with watching this movie through to the end. It's a favorite cult classic that will never be replaced and therefore deserves at least a 9/10 for originality and the ability to quote the entire script by any fan. It never gets old or boring.
This was my first favorite movie! I stumbled across it doing community service at charity works at 12 years old. I was fleeing my family and got in trouble for trespass. Hard time and hilarious movie
As a Mel Brooks fan definitely watch Dracula Dead and Loving It or History of the World Part 1
History part 1 should be #1 on the list of Brooks movies due to the lack of reaction for Mel's last joke. Will also make a recent discovery even better (Space Lasers)
@@elvesrus "lack of reaction" also on the fact that the "Men In Tights" song is basically the "Jews In Space" song with different lyrics.
ruclips.net/video/ZAZhtT-dUyo/видео.html
It's good to be the king lol. History of the World is my all time favorite!
I love mel but dead and loving it is the one miss I think he had.
But only watch Dracula dead and loving it when having had a jumbo enema... :D
Little John was apparently supposed to be Hulk Hogan, hence the look.
Not the Hulk he was Thor in the return of the Incredible Hulk (Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno)
Carey Elwes was playing Robin as Errol Flynn.
Before you watch this again you have to see the 1938 Technicolor spectacular:
"The Adventures of Robin Hood"
I remember seeing this at the movies when it first came out. My friends and I were laughing so hard we were in tears. I'm a huge Mel Brooks fans. High Anxiety, History of the World Part 1, Spaceballs, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein.... he's made so many hilarious movies.
So, now you need to watch Mel Brook's "History of the world" with him and Gregory Hines, you'll be on the floor rolling!
15:09 that made me crack up. The genuine confusion and the fact that you said what at the same time as Robin and maid Marion it was priceless
Watching Mell almost die laughing when he synced with the movie saying "awwww" made my day.
"Over that boy hand!" I love this movie so much, it's sheer ridiculousness. It's a pity so few people remember Prince of Thieves nowadays since most of the jokes are based on that movie. Glad you did!
"It's an Everlast 😊"
I've probably seen this movie 25 times...
That line still kills me every time 🤣
1:57 'What the F is this' ..... Oh sweet summer child your just starting down this amazing rabbit hole 🤣🤣
Just wanted to tell you I’ve been binging your videos the past few nights and hearing your joyful laughter, seeing your love for film has put a smile on my face. I’ve been sick the past week and finding your channel has lifted my spirits.
"Deered to kill a kings dare" - I've seen this move quite a few times and been years since I've seen it again, and this joke of getting deer and dare mixed up kind of went over my head at the time, but now hearing it back after so long cracks me up! This whole movie is so good
This film is hilarious and spoof movies are amazing and your channel is freaking awesome!!!!!!!!! Plus only asking can you react to Bill and Ted's excellent adventure?
Yeah I Will Soon
@@HelloMellowXVI awesome plus one more question when are gonna watch back to the future part 2?
Yeah Once I Get Through A Few More First Time Watchings
@@HelloMellowXVI I've been thinking of rewatching that. I loved it when seeing it in the theaters- as a kid. Curious how it holds up.
they just don't make movies like this anymore.
Carey Elwes was actually the first choice for Robin Hood due to his performance in The Princess Bride. He actually hung up on Mel Brooks at 1st because he thought it was a prank call until Mel called him right back.
I think said he THOUGHT it was a prank call, when really it wasn't. Mel Brooks really did initially call him to ask him for the role.
@@Zodia195 Sorry. Meant to say thought it was a prank. My phone sometimes deletes complete words if I go to erase an error.
It was so much fun watching you discover this movie. And it's hilarious that you're young enough to have missed some of the cultural references.
Loxley and Bagel, what a match!
"It's good to be the king!" 👑
‑ Right on the money!
- The Monet, the Monet...
- Don't get saucy on me, Bearnaise!
18:05 I think most people realize he's mimicking England's prim minister during most of WW2, Winston Churchill. Churchill's iconic way of speaking had three causes. He had a minor lisp, he copied some of his American mother's speaking habits and he drank heavily to muster up the courage to speak in public because of the first 2 reasons. That said, the man had a powerful way about him that people listened to. The speech they're poking fun of was actually very important and inspired a lot of soldiers. I learned part of it for an acting class and listened to the last few paragraphs of it (all we had time for) over and over to copy him as best I could. He may have talked a little funny but, the man knew _what_ to say.
This movie was a staple of my childhood. Mel Brookes is iconic. The script, the acting - iconicccc.
Dave Chappell said he would never wear a dress but he did wear a dress I. This movie lol
Aw man I haven't seen this movie in years! This was a fun walk down memory lane and I was surprised by how many of the lines I remembered.
"Call the locksmith!"
Cary Ewles, who somehow 30 years later looks 30 years younger than me, was in Princess Bride first, then Glory, Hot Shots, then Men in Tights.
Also somehow works great in SAW a few years later.
Every time I watch your videos about these classic comedies, I have a constant smile on my face! It always brings me such joy to see people who appreciate these movies as much as I do
You didn't wear tights for this review. 🤔 I question your commitment.
🤣🤣🤣
Mel Brooks is so AWESOME! He has such a creative mind.
Saw this when I was like 8, I'm 30 now, watched it many many times. Love it so much
I don't know, if someone told me Dave Chappelle was in a movie I would stop what I was doing and go watch it, and I am white as hell. Dave is just really funny. I have no idea who said that or why, but I wouldn't read too much into it.
Same
Should watch the Hot Shots movies
But only if he’s seen Top Gun first.
Yesss one of the best comdy movies of all time
Love this movie. One of the many great ones that my brother introduced me to years ago. Makes me think of him everytime I see it and brings back great memories. Thanks for watching it and sharing it with us.
Patriot Arrow: the 1st Gulf War was less than two years behind us and out Patriot Missile had been a great success (success rate later revised downward, but as far as our enemies knew, they were fools to try anything when we had Patriots). When the Patriot Arrow hit the mark for Robin, there was cheering in the theaters.
So good to see someone else love Mel Brooks' genius and being able to reference his other works and other media as well. Keep up the good work, man.
"It's good to be the King"
The King on Kings. The Game. Triple H.
Everyone loves Dave Chappelle! And he was so young
I’ve always cried over how in the scene where Rabbi Tuckman says that Robin and Marian would be perfect for each other as their family names were Loxley and Bagelle.
LOX AND BAGELS. 🤣😂😭💀
Mel Brooks would always sprinkle and reference Jewish humor in his films.
I miss movies like these. Mel Brooks is a galactic treasure. He is the master of slapstick meta parody comedies.
Patriot Arrow was reference to the first Gulf War and Scud Missiles. Patriot Missiles were Scud Busters, plucked 40 scuds from the skies.
Next up:
The Producers (1968)
The Twelve Chairs
Life Stinks
To Be Or Not to Be (1983 - even if it's just to see yet another parody of Hitler singing 'a little piece of Poland)
Silent Movie (literally only one spoken word in the whole movie)
High Anxiety (Mel Brook's tribute to Alfred Hitchcock - though you'll need to see some of him most famous movies first)
Dracula: Dead and Loving It
History of the World Part 1 (and make sure you stay for the trailer for History of the World Part 2)
The Producers (2005 - stay for the song at the end of the credits)
mel brooks is a comedy genius. dracula dead and loving it/ history of the world will have u rollin on the floor
This movie was my history.
It was being shown in the Netherlands almost every christmas.
I always watched it, I could literally say all the jokes by mind :)
Good to see that you loved it just as well !
my favorite part was the return of the "challenge to a duel " metal glove slap. that was brilliant. "I ACCEPT"
My dad introduced me to Mel Brooks movies😂😂😂
This and Spaceballs are classics
The best Robin Hood is with Errol Flynn. Love these types of movies.
Always my favorite too. Then this one next just because it's a guaranteed laugh.
Man I love this movie had so many great comedians involved. Rip Roger Rees, so sad when we lost him
When Robin approached Rabbi’s tent to ask him to marry him to Marian, a sign on the tent said (along the lines of) ‘Circumcisions: Half Off’
Makes you wonder; is he referring to the price or the weenis?
@@SerenEirian The world may never know LOL
@@SerenEirian considering it's Mel Brooks we're talking about here I'm going to go with the second option
I love this movie and your reactions dude! I highly recommend History of the World pt 1. Another classic comedy by Brooks.
Yes! Thats the same hangman! Good eye!
It wasn't a mint she gave him, but a Life Saver candy.
"A spoon cousin? Why a spoon?"
"BECAUSE IT'S DULL YOU TWIT! IT'LL HURT MORE!" 😂😂😂😂😂
Loving the reactions🤣 havent been feeling too good but seeing you laugh just makes it all better. Thanks.
Some of the inspiration also came from the Errol Flynn version of Robin Hood - especially the sword fighting bits.
I would hope people bring up Dave Chapel being in this movie because it was early in his career and he's a very funny individual - thus adding to the hype and promise of how humorous the film will be. I remember watching this one enough that I had the script all but memorized.
The song that played over the credits at the end actually got a decent amount of radio play on the easy listening stations when the movie came out. They did a decent job on that one.
Need to do a entire Mel Brooks Marathon And Movie Watch
"I hope it don't stink." Killed me. haha
24:24 Actually you are right on the money on that. They did a documentary about the film and the actors all said that doing this movie was an absolute blast and working for Mel Brooks was just a lot of fun in general.
