Robin Hood: Men in Tights

The legend had it coming...

Directed by Mel Brooks

Produced by Gaumont, Brooksfilms

1993104 min6.6 / 10

A gleefully irreverent parody that dismantles the Robin Hood legend through constant jokes, fourth-wall breaks, and absurdist humor while maintaining an affectionate, high-spirited tone.

Robin Hood comes home after fighting in the Crusades to learn that the noble King Richard is in exile and that the despotic King John now rules England, with the help of the Sheriff of Rottingham. Robin Hood assembles a band of fellow patriots to do battle with King John and the Sheriff.
