Robin Hood: Men in Tights is a 1993 comedy of the story of Robin Hood. [2]
If you were never a huge fan of the classic image of Robin Hood - the green-stocking wearing do-gooder, laughing his way through Sherwood Forest with his band of merry men - then the new take on the legend from Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe might be more to your liking. [3]
It’s not a good sign that while watching “Robin Hood,” the title song from Mel Brooks’ 1993 “Robin Hood: Men in Tights” was flitting through my head for much of the time. [...] Well, Robin Hood isn’t Superman or Spider-Man; we don’t need to know the origin of his allergy to Kryptonite or how a lab accident enabled him to shoot webs from his wrists. [4]
When reviewing films based on the legend of Robin Hood one can’t help but get caught up in all the men in tights who have trod across the movie screen in previous stints as the original dark knight. [5]
The film includes frequent comedic references to previous Robin Hood films (most particularly Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, upon which the plot is loosely structured, and The Adventures of Robin Hood) and real-life subjects. [2]
Oh, but that Russell Crowe, the dour Robin Hood of this new Ridley Scott-directed version, would break out into song and dance. [4]
He’s nothing more than the lowly Robin Longstride, but after the King is killed, and a team of knights is ambushed, Robin takes on the identity of Sir Robert Loxley of Nottingham, and makes his way back to England. [3]
This movie was released in 1993, and is a take off of the whole Robin Hood legend and a p— take of Prince of Thieves in particular. [1]
Hollywood has been aquiver over Robin Hood nearly since movies began, making dozens of different versions, not to mention several TV series. [4]
Produced and directed by Mel Brooks, the film stars Cary Elwes, Richard Lewis, and Dave Chappelle. [2]
The 1938 film The Adventures of Robin Hood, starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland, portrayed Robin as a hero on a national scale, leading the oppressed Saxons in revolt against their Norman overlords while Richard the Lionheart fought in the Crusades; this movie established itself so definitively that many studios resorted to movies about his son (invented for that purpose) rather than compete with the image of this one. [...] In the earliest sources Robin Hood is a commoner, but he was often later portrayed as an aristocrat wrongfully dispossessed of his lands and made into an outlaw by an unscrupulous sheriff. [6]
Despite an abundance of computer generated arrows flying around in scene after scene in Robin Hood (opening this weekend) Russell Crowe is no Errol Flynn. [5]
