"Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent." That is a reference to Kevin Costner in Prince of Thieves. From IMDB : Rumor has it that Kevin Costner wanted to use an English accent, but Kevin Reynolds didn't want him to. Supposedly, Costner would affect the accent when he was arguing with Reynolds, but not when they were in agreement. Costner claims that he was initially asked to use an accent and hired a dialect coach, but this was stopped (and the coach was fired) when he did it poorly.

37:15 Yes, that is a mint, but it gets better. That is a mint from an American company that called its product, 'Life Savers'. The shape was supposed to resemble those donut floats you throw to someone who falls out of a boat.

Here in the UK we have a similar shaped mint called a Polo mint.
11:00 - It's a 90's pop culture reference. This movie came out after Home Alone (1990) and it was a nod to Macauley Culkin's signature running and screaming in the movie. 37:18 - It's not just a mint...it's a Livesavers mint.
I'd love to see a Blazing Saddles reaction, it's easily the greatest western comedy about racism you'll ever see. It may be the only one but that's because they nailed it the 1st time

You should check out Spaceballs. It's also directed by Mel Brooks, same style and humor as Men in Tights.
This movie is a satire in general of the legend of Robin Hood but it definitely focuses on the Disney, Kevin Costner, and Errol Flynn versions. Glad you enjoyed it! This was my favorite Robin Hood movie growing up!

They both previously played Robin Hood, in a way. Sean Connery was in a movie called Robin and Marian. Patrick Stewart played Captain Picard who played Robin Hood in a Q scenario in an episode of Star Trek TNG.
"i'm naming my kid falafel" that killed me : P
They were in Jerusalem because Robin hood takes place during the crusades and Robin returns from there to find Prince John has taken over.
A movie like this could never be made today and that's such ashame this movie is pure gold i love it. Great video btw keep it up👍 and i loved your reaction to this.
Can't go far wrong with Mel Brooks :)
Prince John: why should they listen to you Robin Hood: cause unlike other Robin Hood’s I can speak in a English accent
Cary Elwes was supposed to play Robin Hood in Prince of Thieves but he turned it down. He previously appeared as the antagonist character in Hot Shots!, a spoof on Top Gun directed by Jim Abrahams, one of the writers of Airplane! and The Naked Gun.
Just in case somebody hasn't writen it down yet: The screaming child with the "I have to go home alone" line is a reference to the poster/cover of the first Home Alone movie.

You are amazing as always. Your smile and your laughings make me so happy. Another great reaction 😂😂.

one of the main things with this is it came out not long after the robin hood: prince of thieves movie which is what a lot of the digs in this are about.
I'd love for someone to react to Dracula Dead and Loving It. Not the classic Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles was, but I think its Mel Brooks' most under appreciated film and I've always had a soft spot for it.

@Mash For these types of movies, they usually have post-credit scenes. Don't miss out.
The reason the story starts in Jerusalem is Robin Hood was fighting with Richard the Lionheart during the Third Crusade who fought against sultan Saladin, this is the 20th-century addition to the Robin Hood legend. Adding a Saracen to the Merry men was first done in my favourite adaptation in the 1984 ITV Robin of Sherwood with a trend that began with Nasir. Asneeze or Ahchoo continues this tradition . ...I enjoyed watching your reaction
The camels with the "riders" are called jockeys. Which means hen out together " camel jockey" is a derogatory term for middle eastern people.
Fun to watch. Good job. Yes, I would love to see more Mel Brooks reactions. It must have been so much fun to act in one of his movies. Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein are his best. 31:22 Patriot missiles were a more common term during the 90's Gulf War years. They are a missile defense system to protect against incoming missiles. 32:56 Bwahaha, just noticed this: The Hangman is played by Robert Ridgely, who also played The Hangman in Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles 19 years earlier in 1974. One difference, his eye patch was on his left eye, rather than his right eye this time (brilliant).

First time watching your channel of reactions and I am very pleased with your rendition. This is probably the fifth reaction to Robin Hood: Men in Tights I've seen and it was by far the best because you let portions of the movie run through the jokes while others would edit them out. You did have some edits that did stop some jokes but again you did better than most. I understand the copyright length, but some people don't use the full amount of time to show. I look forward to your future and past reactions.

edits are done for copyright reasons, so said reactors don't have to worry about their channels getting taken down.
Isaac Hayes was a famous composer. Also, u may have recognized his voice as chef from South Park. He died years ago.
Another good medieval comedy is The Court Jester. It's a much older movie, but it's pretty funny. Not to mention, proof that Angela Lansbury was quite attractive in her day.
I've never noticed Ahchoo's hat. Well spotted!
That’s a funny movie. I loved watching it as a kid.

new movies are not always that good, old movies are mostly good, maybe corny, but good. the 80's had the best movies.
Atleast the volume of the movie is good and hearable ! :D

They Patriot Arrow is a spoof of the Patriot Missile used during The Gulf War.
Little John also used to play Thor
MRS. DOUBTFIRE!!!!
the mint was a "Life Saver" Get the pun.
I know this a comedy version of Robin Hood which I still like this movie because it's hilarious and funny but I have one issue about the version of Maid Marian wearing a iron belt. I mean how on earth Maid Marian manage to have a toilet with that belt on and while still locked.
The big guy who played Little John also played Thor in the 1988 Made for TV movie The Incredible Hulk Returns.
"Fox 'em" parody of *"Fax 'em"* - faxes were rather more of a thing in '93. While it's held up well, several jokes are now too period specific. A lot of the movie is a parody of Kevin Costner's Robin Hood movie, a couple of years before. Patrick Stewart as King Richard: They originally wanted Sean Connery, but he declined. So they got Patrick Stewart...who then proceeded to play it *like* Sean Connery. And, yes, you do need to watch Blazing Saddles, and Young Frankenstein, and...

To me 1993 seems comparatively recent but that's from the perspective of being 53 years old myself. To me, the movies that seem old are like say, the original Robin Hood with Errol Flynn and Olivia DeHaviland from 1939 or Frankenstein, Dracula, etc from 1931. Not that I don't love them, I do. The age of a film really has no meaning to me as the movies I like just seem "timeless". I'd like to see your reaction to Dracula: Dead And Lovig It! Your voice sounded so familiar to me and it dawned on me why. Have you ever seen the Mummy with Brendan Fraser? Your voice sounds like Rachel Weisz's character "Evelyn Carnahan" from that film. I think I could listen to your reactions all day, lol.
Greetings House of Mash🏩 Charming Time🦢✨ Cheers!🍷
You most definitely need to see Young Frankenstein. It’s a masterpiece of comedy.
Yes if we could swim like this I would be swimming straight to England just you ask you out to lunch at quaint little restaurant
This film is a direct parody of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, starring Kevin Costner. I'm sorry if I missed it in this reaction, but if you haven't already seen that movie, you really need to. This film has a TON of references and jokes that relate directly to RH:PoT.
Yes watch blazing saddles. I watched another reaction and they cut out most of the jokes. You did a great job! Keep up the good work!
Great video! If you want a more modern comedy try Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, its kind of a spoof of teenage horror movies. Or for a more serious but heartfelt film check out Train to Busan.

Great reaction! You definitely need to cycle through the big Mel Brooks films (blazing saddles, space balls, young frankenstein, and history of the world part 1). I also recommend going back to Naked Gun 2 1/2 and 33 1/3 if you run out of suggestions (which I doubt you will).

Why do people forget about Mel Brooks, High Anxiety. It's 10 times better than Robin Hood, Men in Tights, History of the World, and Dracula, Dead and Loving it. A loving homage to Alfred Hitchcock movies with a stellar cast of comedic actors, Madeleine Kahn, Cloris Leachman, and Harvey Korman along with Mel Brooks. In my opinion, Brooks's best 5 films in order are 1. Young Frankenstein 2. Blazing Saddles. 3. High Anxiety. 4. Silent Movie. 5. Spaceballs.
did you miss the end scene? there's a final scene with the newlyweds on their honeymoon night.
If you liked Mark Blankfield, the actor who played Blinken here, he also plays a small role in Dracula: Dead and Loving It and he stars in an early 1980s comedic take on Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde called "Jeckyll and Hyde: Together Again" (though that one has a lot of jokes in it that would be considered dark today)
Should do Coming 2 America, and if you've never seen it do the first Coming to America before hand.
Oh no! You cut out my favorite line: Did you say Abe Lincoln? 😂 Also can you react to See No Evil, Hear No Evil (1989) It stars Richard Pryor & Gene Wilder (aka Willy Wonka). - A blind man and a deaf man must team up to solve a crime Also Three Amigos (1986) starring Steve Martin, Chevy Chase & Martin Short - Three pampered Hollywood action stars must protect a Mexican village from real bandits

Hi new subscriber here and it's great to find a fellow Brit who reacts I've not found many on here, anyway really enjoyed this reaction saw this film when it first came out very funny film, if you didn't know Cary Elwes who played Robin is English which is why his accent was so good, anyway as for film recommendations it depends what you want to watch do you want Sci-Fi horror films like ones from the Alien or Predator franchise or just Sci-Fi films like Star Wars original trilogy and original Star Trek films, or maybe a psychological thriller like Silence of the Lambs or stick with comedies like the Naked Gun films, but it's your channel and your choice.

I don't know about Disney. This looks like a direct parody of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
At the beginning of the movie, Robin was in Jerusalem because he was fighting in the Crusades.
Mel Brooks already spoofed Robin Hood prior to this movie. In the 70s, he created a sitcom called When Things Were Rotten. One episode was written by Pat Proft, one of the screenwriters of The Naked Gun.
