First impressions aren't always accurate, however--this movie was much, much worse than I thought it would be. Without a doubt, "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" is the stupidest movie made, in my recent memory...
...least "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" could boast Morgan Freeman and Christian Slater, even though it had Kevin Costner's Southern Californian Robin Hood. I am willing to grant that Elwes's Robin Hood has a British accent, though...
...Tights" starts out pretty much the same way "Prince of Thieves" started, in some dungeon in the Middle East. There Robin of Loxley (yes, it's "Loxley", not "Locksley"), played by Cary Elwes, meets Asneeze (Isaac Hayes) who saves Robin. They go through that "You have saved my life, so I owe you a favor" bit so that Ahchoo (Dave Chappelle), son of Asneeze, can get into the movie...
...This Robin of Loxley gets his castle towed away and thus must seek vengeance against Sheriff of Rottingham (Roger Rees) and Prince John (Richard Lewis). In most movies, this would serve as a stupid interlude; for Mel Brooks, it is a crucial plot development...
...Also, Robin has to rescue Maid Marian (Amy Yasbeck), who has a steel Everlast chastity belt which only the destined one can open. I hate to ruin the surprise, but the destined one is Robin Hood...
