Mel Brooks directed and co-wrote this
satiric comedy which lampoons a number of cinematic treatments of the legend of Sherwood Forest, including
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and
The Adventures of Robin Hood.
Robin Hood (
Cary Elwes) comes home after fighting in the Crusades to learn that the noble King Richard (
Patrick Stewart) is in exile and that the despotic King John (
Richard Lewis) now rules England, with the help of the Sheriff of Rottingham (
Roger Rees).
Robin Hood assembles a band of fellow patriots to do battle with John and the Sheriff, including Asneeze (
Isaac Hayes) and his son Ahchoo (
Dave Chappelle), the blind watchman Blinkin (
Mark Blankfield), Will Scarlet O'Hara (
Matthew Porretta), and Rabbi Tuckman (
Brooks). The Sheriff is eager to put
Robin Hood out of business with the aid of criminal mastermind Don Giovanni (
Dom DeLuise), but Robin soon has an ally in the royal palace when he falls for the lovely
Maid Marian (
Amy Yasbeck), whose minder Broomhilde (
Megan Cavanagh) has uncooperatively outfitted
Marian with a chastity belt. The cast also includes
Tracy Ullman,
Robert Ridgely, and
Clive Revill.
