Haha, SO please guide me through the world of Robin Hood films because this girl is confused :D. I had so much fun with this one though, so I feel like this was a great start to trigger my curiosity!

Oh yay, I'm so glad you watched this! Such a classic. However, it can seem a little unnecessary and over the top if you're not familiar with Robin Hood movies (which it parodies and mocks) and if you're not familiar with Mel Brooks movies.

Karl Ries

Yeah, it specifically parodies Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Still a fun and hilarious movie without any context.

Men in Tights is quite an introduction into Robin Hood, haha. Mel Brooks can be difficult because sometimes he is way over the top but he had some fun enjoyable Movies like this one or Spaceballs. If you want a more classic Version of Robin Hood i recommend Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) with Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman. If you want to look into an older but very charming Version The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) is the way to go. Also you can see one of Hollywoods greatest and famous Movie Couples in this one. Robin Hood (2010) is a more modern interpretation with Russell Crowe. And last but not least Disney's Robin Hood (1973) is an amazing Kids Version who is peak Disney. There are some more Versions, for example Princess of Thieves (2001) with Keira Knightley as a female Version of Robin Hood but most of them are not that good or are very different variations of Robin Hood.

Agreed. I've loved this movie since I was in my early teens, before seeing pretty much any other non-G rated movie. I didn't understand any of the references for years, but it still cracked me up! 😆

If you're looking for another movie like this that you're basically fully prepared for, you should watch Hot Shots!

I think if you had seen Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, many of the jokes would have hit harder. I would recommend seeing that one anyway as it is a lot of fun and has one of your favorite actors in it who is fabulous. I didn't realize how many jokes were so heavily based on events an pop culture from the late 80s and early 90s. I have to admit I finally got a joke that I never got before, the one about Robin of Loxely and Marion of Bagel being a perfect match from Rabbi Tuckman... Lox and Bagels. In my defense, I don't think I heard of lox and bagels until 2003 at a Jewish deli. I think you are more than ready for Spaceballs with the sci-fi movies you have seen so far. I am sure you will love it. I also think you are ready for Hot Shots after watching Top Gun.

Yes,, Prince of Thieves is needed, Also, The Adventures of Robin Hood from 1938 starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland. It would be good to watch. Then re-watch Men In Tights. This would be the key to the most valued treasure in the land. Hey, AAAAAABBBBOOOOTTT! is reference to a common yell for help made by Lou Costello to his co-star Bud Abbott in their comedy movies. This is like Young Frankenstein, Watch the 1931 Frankenstein and the 1935 Bride of Frankenstein first, then Young Frankenstein.
