Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Robin Hood: Men in Tights is a 1993 film parody of the story of Robin Hood, particularly parodying Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Other Robin Hood films, such as The Adventures of Robin Hood and Disney's Robin Hood, are also parodied. The film is reminiscent of Brooks's 1975 Robin Hood based sitcom When Things Were Rotten.
The legend had it coming... Find out where Robin Hood put his Little John, what made Will Scarlet, and what did Friar Tuck into his tights that had Maid Marion all of a quiver?
- Directed by Mel Brooks. Written by Mel Brooks, J.D. Shapiro, and Evan Chandler.

- Ahchoo: Let's get out of this ladies clothing and get into our tights!
Dialogue
- Asneeze: You are very brave for not a homeboy.
- Robin Hood: Oh, thank you.
- Robin Hood: Kindly let me pass.
- Little John: Uh, no. Sorry, but a toll is a toll, and a roll is a roll, and if we don't get no tolls, then we don't eat no rolls. [proudly] I made that up.
