Summary:
Mel Brooks scores a bull's-eye with this hysterical reinvention of the Robin Hood fable! In the days of olde, when men were men, men wore tights. And none wore tights mightier-or tighter-than Robin Hood! Aided by his band of merry men, Robin of Loxley wrested power from the evil Prince John, brought humiliation upon the despicable Sheriff of Rottingham and found the key to the fair Maid Marian's heart...and her chastity belt.
