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. Mark Deming, Rovi
