Robin Hood: Men in Tights is a 1993 parody movie of the story of Robin Hood. Produced and directed by Mel Brooks, the film stars Cary Elwes, Amy Yasbeck, and Roger Rees. The movie is notable for its frequent references to previous Robin Hood films (most particularly Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves) and real-life subjects.
The standard story of Robin Hood: Evil Prince John is oppressing the people while good King Richard is away on the Crusades. Robin steals from the tax collectors, wins an archery contest, defeats the Sheriff, and rescues Maid Marian. In this version, however, Mel Brooks adds his own personal touch, parodying traditional adventure films, romance films, and the whole idea of men running around the woods in tights.
