| Robin Hood: Men in Tights
[1993,
France, USA]
|
| The legend had it coming... Find out where Robin Hood put his Little John, what made Will Scarlet, and what did Friar Tuck into his tights that Maid Marion all of a quiver? |
|
|
Mel Brooks is the well-known master of parody, so the film of this famous director is desperately hilarious. Now his aim is to interpretate the legend of Robin Hood in the funniest way: jokes, pranks and different allusions to the various films and stories adjoin many foolishness and follies. Without regales and, sometimes, without trouses, "men in tights" try to win over the heart (and not the only heart) of the beautiful Maid Marion. |
