Robin Hood: Men in Tights is a 1993 adventure comedy film and a parody of the Robin Hood story.

The film was produced and directed by Mel Brooks and stars Cary Elwes, Richard Lewis, and Dave Chappelle in his film debut.

It includes frequent comedic references to previous Robin Hood films, particularly Prince of Thieves (upon which the plot is loosely structured), and the 1938 Errol Flynn adaptation The Adventures of Robin Hood.

Brooks himself had previously created the short-lived sitcom When Things Were Rotten in the mid-1970s, which also spoofed the Robin Hood legend.

Mildly funny, exceedingly silly. Frequent third wall breaking and modern references.  Cary Elwes gets the role and plays it straight.

Amy Yasbeck, also gets the genre, playing all of the film in a chastity belt !

But the best character is Roger Rees, as the Sheriff of Rotttingham and is clearly based on Alan Rickman’s portrayal of the same character in  Prince of Thieves.
