Robin Hood: Men in Tights Quotations

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?

Robin Hood

Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent.

Others

Prince John: Tell everyone that when the day is out we shall have a wedding. Or a hanging. Either way, we're gonna have a lot of fun, huh?

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.

Robin Hood: It's very fascinating. But I'm afraid I'm going to have to hurt you.

Robin Hood: You've just entered the territory of Robin Hood and his Merry Men.

Rabbi Tuckman: [makes a suggestive wave of his hand] Faigelehs?

Robin Hood: No, no, we're straight, just merry.

Robin Hood: Blinkin, I'd like you to meet Ahchoo.

Blinkin: A Jew? Here?

Sheriff of Rottingham: The old man is Locksley.

Prince John: Are you sure? He looks like Mark Twain.

Townspeople: A black sheriff?!

Blinkin: He's black?

Achoo: And why not? It worked in Blazing Saddles.
