“The legend had it coming...”
In Mel Brooks's gleefully subversive send-up of the medieval legend, "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" (1993), the hero returns from the Crusades to find King John, a despot aided by the corrupt Sheriff of Rottingham, has usurped the throne, exiling the rightful ruler, King Richard. Brooks skewers the genre with irreverent humor, casting Cary Elwes as the titular outlaw who, alongside a motley crew of merry men, wages a comedic and satirical war against tyranny, blending slapstick with swordplay in a high-spirited romp through Sherwood Forest.
