Cary Elwes just did a show at my work last week! Longest meet and greet ever cuz he was such an awesome friendly guy. The ONLY act who has gone out of his way to thank the staff, HE made us take pics with him, and was an absolutely awesome dude.
Did a show? What of?
I love people who take the time to recognize people working at events. Glad to hear Cary is awesome as he seems.
@@StandUpComedyFan28m he’s touring. He’s speaking about the movie, I think the movie might be shown as well. Playing at a theatre I used to work at in Connecticut.
That’s nice to hear, I was in the venue world for 25 years so I know what you are talking about.
No offence, but he still working?
Haven't seen him in a minute... and that's a shame, but that's the truth.
My brother and his friends went to a comic con and met Cary Elwes. One of his friends asked Cary to sign her "Princess Bride" book. He was like "Of course my Princess!" so she started crying at being called princess. So he gave her a hug and told her she was adorable which made her cry even harder.
She truly won that day, I'm envious but I also am so happy she got to meet him.
I met him a few years ago at a comic con and he had a huge line, but every fan he was so kind to. I told him how my husband and I had a hard time on which picture to pick for an autograph because he has too many good movies to pick from, but we wound up with Robin Hood Men in Tights and he said "ah, my favorite too, you chose wisely" we had a good laugh. He's a very nice person.
Patrick Stuart showing up at the end as the King is a reference to Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves when Sean Freakin' Connery shows up at the end as the King.
The whole movie took a lot of beats from Price of Thieves, like Little John and Robin meeting on the 'bridge' and other scenes.
@@Cau_No It also took a ton of beats from The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). Carey Elwes is basically doing a parody of Errol Flynn. It helps to have seen those movies before seeing this.
Patrick Stuart plays Robin Hood in Star Trek next generation episode 20 season 4 called Qpid it awesome and great episode and Sean Connery played King Arthur in first Knight great and good film 🎞️ too
@@Cau_NoEspecially the line "Unlike OTHER Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent." This was a clear side eye to Kevin Costner.
LOL! I had seen Kevin Costner's version (it had Alan Rickman in it, AND Michael Wincott, Top Dollar from "The Crow," so I think it was awesome) and had talked about it a few years later with my then boyfriend when this was about to come out. He went with friends to see this, and called me afterword. He was raving about it and he said "You'll never guess who plays King Richard!" I thought about it a bit...hmmm, it has to be someone folks today will recognize, and given that it makes a point of having English accents, so he must have one, and also be dashing, handsome and kingly! So I said "Patrick Stewart!" My boyfriend didn't say anything for a moment, then went with a VERY petulant "No." He was seriously annoyed I guessed it right off. But Sirs Patrick and Sean are on a similar level to me, and even as a teen I considered them very attractive, so it seemed logical. When I saw the movie, I wasn't surprised to see Patrick, but until I did see it, my boyfriend continued to insist it wasn't Patrick Stewart (he hadn't been knighted yet). When I finally did see it, my boyfriend was still sulking when I called him out on trying to trick me.
Congrats... you two are the only people on UA-cam who reacted to this movie who actually understood the Bagels and Lox joke
That totally surprises me lol.
I don't get that reference.
I'll be honest I still don't get it
@@tashahelms1522 "Lox and bagels traditionally consist of an open-faced bagel topped with cream cheese, thinly sliced red onions, briny capers, and lox."
Just a food joke.
It's also a very stereotypically Jewish food that proud Jew Mel Brooks would totally reference. Just like PJ calling the pig "Traif" under his breath (means "not kosher").
And I am Jewish too, just so everyone knows. But I don't like lox or bagels.
One gag you guys seemed to have missed was the screaming kid. He was a reference to the Home Alone movies.
My favorite gag a lot of people seem to miss is that the pill Latrine gives the Sheriff is a literal Life Savor.
@@CrimsonAngelWinges that’s a good one too.
@@CrimsonAngelWinges I always loved that he had to REALLY think about it LOL
They seem to miss the King's mole moving throughout
They didn't seem to understand Patriot Arrow either. You know, after the homing Patriot Missile.
"Unlike other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent" was a jab at Kevin Costner's "Robin Hood"
I said "Hey" (Hey)
I said "Hey" (Hey)
I said
"Hey nonny nonny
And a ho ho ho!"
I love this movie. Always have.
Check it Out!!
That was my ringtone in middle n high school lol
I heard somewhere that Cary Elwes auditioned for Robin Hood Prince of Thieves that Kevin Costner starred in. That’s where the line about he being a Robin Hood who can “speak with a English accent”. So Elwes got to get in a shot on Costner
Though Elwes is also one to talk with his inability to do a good American accent.
@@Rmlohner guess you’ve never seen “Liar, liar”
Cary Elwes was actually offered the role of Robin Hood in Prince of Thieves but rejected it because he felt the script was too contrived.
@@Rmlohner I can probably count on one hand how many Americans can put on a passable English accent. Its only fair that Cary, being English, struggles to do a good American accent!
Does anyone else notice that Latrine's "magic pill" is actually a Lifesaver?
Oh yeah lol. Hilarious!
I always thought it was a Rolaids.
Was cut from this one but yes, great subtle visual gag I always watch for in these. :(
Yeah, always loved that. A magic pill that will "Save your Life". What better than a Lifesaver? lol
I never got that when I was younger cause we don’t have lifesavers in the UK, we eat polo mints instead…
We're men in tights, TIGHT, tights!
Manly men - yes
I love the scene when they read the script. It reminds me of my grandmother. Anytime someone would ask a question why a character did something. She would just say because it was in the script.
The fact you didn't realize it was Patrick Stewart until he revealed that iconic bald dome is sending me. The "It's good to be the King" is a reference to History of the World Part 1, another classic by Mel Brooks. As spooky season is upon us, and if you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend Young Frankenstein.
While this isn't my favorite Mel Brooks film, the line "Hey Blinkin... Did you say Abe Lincoln?" it gets me EVERY TIME! I can't not laugh at that part.
Are you talking about the current US Secretary of State, A Blinken?
K, I'll bite... what's your favorite?
@@Sandy-gg7to It's tough. Probably Young Frankenstein. I can agree Blazing Saddles is funnier and has a solid story, but it's something about the details of Young Frankenstein that get me going. Like the original props, or the under the breath punch lines.
I’d argue that this film is one of the most underrated Mel Brooks movies. Everyone automatically goes to ‘Blazing Saddles’ or ‘Spaceballs’ when talking about great Mel Brooks movies, I’d argue that this is just as funny as them.
Bars
Oh god, me and a bunch of my friends actually dressed up and did the 'men in tights' song and dance back in college for halloween. We practiced for a few weeks to have the dance down right. I thought some of the people who saw us were going to pee themselves.
....but, you were BUTCH!
Mel Brooks is the king of hiding clever, subtle writing in the middle of obvious dumb jokes! Have you guys done Spaceballs already? One of my favs!
This was packed with so many callbacks from Mel's previous movies.
Including the hangman from "Blazing Saddles"
The "Patriot" arrow is a reference to the Patriot missile system, by that time the US fought Saddam Hussein in the first dessert Storm campaign, but he still got missiles and bombarded Israel. The Patriot missiles shot down the incoming iraki ballistic missiles that Hussein shot. I missed the scene where Robin sings so hard he had a nutache 😹 Great reaction, I laughed so hard!
Thank you! I have been trying to figure that joke out since I was a wee lil face hugger
Came here to say this, thanks for saving me time.
@@Jrmrmrc 😸😹God, I'm so old
@@platinumspider7859 👍
Another reason why topical humor rarely ages well.
You missed the final scene during the credits!!!! Where Robin's father's gift (the silver box given by Blinkin) is a key to the greatest treasure in all the land (Maid Marian's chastity belt) but they have to call a locksmith....
Because it has rusted shut. LOL!
That's my favorite part 😂🤣
Men in Tights is sooo good. Such a great comedy from the 90s.
True
YES!!!
"A black sheriff!?!"
"Hey, don't act so surprised. I mean it worked 'Blazing Saddles.' " Lol!!
The way that I haven't seen this movie in almost 10 years, but I found out (through sheer accident) I can still recite it word-for-word lol
The kid running and screaming was a reference to “Home Alone”.
Me and my sister and my mom would watch this over and over when i was growing up. I can recite the entire movie word for word 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A sign of a life well-lived. : )
And why should the people listen to you?
When I first ready this I thought you were gonna be one of my daughters!
Mel Brooks is a comedy genius
This is one of my favourite silly comedy spoofs. Right up there with Blades of Glory. Hope you guys loved it.
Muppet Treasure Island is also up there.
@@allanbaker3958 love Tim Curry in that one
Mine are loaded weapon 1 and spaceballs
@@acerimmer563 I love both of those as well.
Unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent...
I met him at a comic convention years ago and he is the sweetest, kindness and coolest man in acting ever. He’s so loving and appreciates everyone from fans to comic con staff and security. He was kind and so polite to everyone sincerely.
Who?
@@Juber777 Cary Elwes.
How'd you not get the "a mime is a terrible thing to waste" pun?? You also missed that Latrine gave Rottingham an actual Lifesaver candy to "save his life". So happy you guys did this one. So many people skip this for some reason and it's one of my favorites!
They also seem to have missed the end scene where Robin put his key in her chastity belt and it didn't work when he went to turn it and so they called for the locksmith but they didn't show that scene so I guess they didn't watch it to the end I don't know
@@biodigitaljazz5814 nah they bowed out as soon as The End faded..
they missed quite a few things in 80's and 90's movies. even some early 2000's.
a LOT of reaction vids done by people their age don't get most of topical references
and jokes because they're simply too young to know the "mind is a terrible thing to
waste" ad campaign. most people doing reviews of Mel brooks movies (that are of
similar ages.) miss so much more than they get. again it's an age thing. the other
thing is most of them won't react or simply cut out many of the funniest lines
because they fear offending someone that might possibly be offended by a JOKE
written 45yrs ago. the not getting jokes part isn't a knock on them. none of us
have any control in what year we were born.
Dave Chappelle was about 19 when he did the movie. I died laughing when you both screamed at the food Latrine gave to Prince John. 🤣🤣🤣
"He's black?!" My favorite Blinkin quote.
I love Mel Brooks. He is a comedic genius and it is sad that people do not make movies like this any more. I remember my niece went nuts over Prince John’s mole movie every time you see him.
Great movie . Too bad you did not see Kevin Costner Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves 1991 before seeing this because this movie spoof that movie. You are going to miss allot of jokes. Other great Mel Brookes comedy is High Anxiety. You should continue other spoof movie like Top Secret , The Naked Gun Trilogy , Hot Shots , Loaded Weapon, Wayne's World , Austin Powers.
You should also see The Princes Bride with the same lead actor.
Fyi the child is running like Kevin in Home Alone.
Also "It's Good to be the King" is a phrase from another Mel Brooks spoof.
My favorite part of this movie is
"I heard that coming a mile away :) Right-o, Blinkin, very good. Pardon? Who's talking?
It's also a spoof on The Adventures of Robin Hood(1938)
Every Mel Brooks movie is going to send you over the edge with this craziness because he's just so zany! He's off his hook and like King of the puns, double entendre, man, he was brought up with vaudeville and his family so that's why there's usually a lot of slapstick physical comedy going on in there... also quite a bit of visual humor. My guys~I'M pretty surprised you guys didn't pick up one fact that the mole on John's face keeps moving in every different shot of him. It wasn't mentioned this reaction at all so I don't know if you picked up on it or not but it doesn't seem like you guys said anything about it. IF you missed it go back into the movie and check it out again... Now that is really all over the map of his face. I'm so glad gher used the same actor for the lead in this movie as they did for Princess Bride. Dave Chappelle as Achoo is too much man... just way too much with that reference to Blazing Saddles. 😂 #NYGenXBIKERLady
The hang man was the same from Blazing Saddles, and the joke “it’s good to be the king” was from Mel Brooks “Brief history of the world.”
"I've got this magic pill..."
It's a Lifesaver.
When this came out, we had HBO and my friend didn't. I'd already watched it when I invited him over to watch it. He was a Star Trek: The Next Generation fan, and when he asked who they got to play the king, I told him it was some British guy. He was surprised when Patrick Stewart came out and I said "He's a guy and he's British..."
The moment you both reacted to the part were the mime is going to be executed but then cancelled is priceless. I laughed so hard. It was like a weird 4th wall with you guys been part of the movie.🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
I love how Prince Johns mole keeps moving is every scene.
I think the screaming kid is a Home Alone reference.
Mel Brooks movies are funnier than most comedies made today
Also respect Richard Lewis, the man who played Prince John. He was very sick with high fever and still forced to come over and shoot the movie. And did so well.
Patrick Stewart coming in at the end, is a take on Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
At the end Sean Connery rides in, out of nowhere and blesses the wedding.
"It's good to be the king" is a quote from Brooks' History of the World Part I.
I love that the pill she gives him is a Life Saver candy mint
Classic! Clerks 3 is coming out in October. The View Askewniverse is my favorite cinematic
universe.
The order is as follows:
Clerks (1994) you’ve already seen
Mallrats (1995)
Chasing Amy (1996)
Dogma (1999)
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back(2001)
Clerks II (2006)
Jay and Silent Bob Reboot (2019)
Clerks III (2022)
Saw a limited screening of Clerks 3. Was awesome to see the gang again. Like old friends.
Yes!!
If you guys want a truly unique and hilarious Mel Brooks film, you have to check out 'Silent Movie'. It's honestly one of his lesser known best, and it basically has almost everyone he's ever worked with and more
I had fun just lip reading to see exactly what they were really saying 🤣
Love this one! Though my favorite Mel Brooks is History of the World Part 1... hope you react to it too!
The kid screaming was a reference to Home Alone. Also, the line "It's good to be the King" is a running Mel Brooks joke throughout his movies 😊
“Leave us alone mel brooks!”
This movie was pretty much one of my favorite movies to watch growing up, especially with the introductions of Blinkin, Achoo, Little John and one of the most hilarious villain characters, the Rottingham Sheriff Of. (Before anyone in the comments corrects me, I intended to write it that way. anyone who has watched this movie will most likely get what I was going for.)😁🤣
25:35 It's a nod to the MIM-104 Patriot surface-to-air missile, which was all the rage at the time of filming.
Fun fact when they did the domino scene with the armor they did it in just one take.
I still can't believe you've never seen this Mel Brooks classic before 😱😱
I love this movie. It makes me wish Cary got the chance to play Robin Hood in a real Robin Hood movie.
He didnt, but Matthew poretta who plays will Scarlett actually did play Robin Hood in a tv series
@@marcusfridh8489 yes I know that
@@biguy617 it was a 1990's Cheesy series, but i liked it. I think it was highly inspired by the other 1990's fantasy shows, like xena, Hercules and so on, there was even a fantastseries about Wilhelm Tell.
@@marcusfridh8489 I think I remembered the series
Man, the mime's close call was a real rollercoaster of emotions there for a minute.
The U.S. has a missile defense system that they used to defend Bagdad from Scud missiles , it was called the Patriot missile system. If you ever watch Kevin Costner's Robin Hood Prince of thieves you will understand the Patrick Stewart entrance.
I can watch this movie over and over again without getting tired of it. My favorite parts were rottingham getting catapulted into Latrine's bedroom and the horses laughing with the crowd when the priest said Mervin
Love how you guys got all excited about the four day workweek. I've been fighting for that my entire life. We need a Saturday, Sunday and Funday.
Yooooo!!! Childhood memories. I didn’t even get some of the jokes as an innocent child (had no comprehension of circumcision, for example), but sibs and I still loved it! Any other ladies have a crush on Cary Elwes? 🙋🏾♀️
For decades, yes.
Parishioner: "Hey abbot!"
Abbot: "I HATE that guy!"
Oh I really hope you two watch Young Frankenstein - you'll have such a good time. 😁
One of my favorite comedies. I wish you showed the reaction to the lend me your ears and the sherrif asking prince john about the mole, but still fun
I love the randomness of Prince John's mole moving to different places on his face. Then the Sheriff of Rottingham says "wasn't your mole on the other side?". And Prince John replies "I have a mole?!"
😂😂😂
A callback to Eyegor's hunch in Young Frankenstein
I'd like to recommend *The Adventures of Robin Hood* starring Errol Flynn.
Also *The Thin Man* from 1934. Murder mystery with humor.
You may have missed that the executioner was the same guy who played the executioner in Blazing Saddles. The 'shithouse', latrine, johns.
Great reaction. The screaming child in the beginning who has to go "home alone" always gets a chuckle out of me. I think it hits home a bit more because I was a kid and Home Alone was more of a household name back then.
One of my favorite movies, grew up watching it so often
Another great classic Mel Brooks parody!
😎
Also one of my favorite Cary Elwes performances!
It's a shame they don't make movies like this anymore.
If you're going to do Mel Brooks you have to visit "History of the World Part 1
Yes!!
Ahhh a childhood classic for me.. One of those quoted movies in my house growing up
You do realize that the hangman is Boris from Blazing Saddles - however his eyepatch is over his other eye this time.
When the king is kissing Marian the rabbi says "It's good to be the king", that's another famous line from the Mel Brooks movie History of the World Part1
You all need to see Prince of Thieves first 🙈
Are you gatekeeping Mel Brooks? 😑
The Adventures of Robin Hood(1938) as wellm
One of my all time guilty pleasures is watching this movie and all its brilliant nonsense lol
Great choice you guys!
My mom went into labor with my little sister from laughing so hard watching this movie in '94 lol.
Still waiting for you guys to watch Dick Tracy (1990)!
😎
It’s truly a movie that more people should talk about!
I had a VHS copy of this movie as a kid that my grandpa recorded off HBO. Probably the last VHS I had.
This is another favorite from my childhood and when I started loving Dave Chappelle thanks for reviewing !
My favorite joke is when Blinkin is telling Robin about his family.
Robin: "My goldfish Goldie?"
Blinkin: "Eaten by the cat."
Robin: "My cat?"
Blinkin: "Choked on the goldfish."
:D
ONe of the most classic movies ever!! Love it!!
It's been several years since I've watched this entire movie, and I had completely forgotten about the bagels and lox joke.
Hey guys,
thanks for reacting to this, I love this movie! Some explanations from my side:
1. "White men can't jump" is a movie feat. Wesley Snipes that came out little before this one.
2. Patrick Stewart was an Shakespear actor but of course better known as Cpt. Picard in Star Trek TNG, especially in the early 90s.
3. "It's goot to be the king!" is a reference to the movie "History of the world: Part one", also directed by Mel Brooks.
4. The "English accent" line is a pun against Kevin Costner's performance in "Robin Hood: King of thieves" which was a blockbuster in '91.
5. The magic pill is a "Life Saver" 😉
6. The screaming kid is a reference to Kevin in "Home alone".
Greetings from Germany!
Blinken is my favorite! His lines fucking kill me! "OH master Robin, you lost your arms in battul!" "Did you just say Abe Lincoln?!" And my favorite "Guessing... I'm guessing no one is coming" Hahahahahahaha
Remember "it's good to be the King" if you review other Mel Brooks movies.
Yes history of the world! Part 1 of course
The patriot arrow was a rewrite, it was a reference to the patriot missile during operation desert storm. The original script had the guy split robins arrow in half, then robins next arror he split not only that guys arrow in half but he also split in half the target and the tree it was attached to
Watch "The Adventures of Robin Hood" (1930s) and "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves." These were the 2 biggest ones parodied for this flick (esp the choreography--that's straight from the 30s movie).
Yeah it helps to have seen those prior to watching this movie.
the Patriot Arrow is a reference to the Patriot missile that was used during Desert Storm, which had recently happened.
Blinkin: "I can see! *WHUMP* -- "No.. I was wrong.."
Awesome that you guys finally did this one! One of my favorite comedies!!
The kid running was a nod to Macauleys first Home Alone films. Where Macauley does that exact scream and run. The patriot arrow is a nod to the fist Gulf War in the early 90s where Saddam invaded Kuwait. Patriot missiles were used by the US army in the war, and they actually were some of the earliest guided missiles that could navigate over difficult terrain, etc.
In the last 30 years I have watched this movie, and/ or clips of it, eight hundred times .... but I always missed the bangle / Loxley reference.
I am not Jewish, and honestly don't know that many people who are.
But your acknowledgement of getting it, totally made me look it up. I can't say that it gave me a new appreciation for Mel Brooks because I always had one, it just solidifies the appreciation
"You mean you changed it *to* Latrine?"
"Yeah! Used to be Shithouse."
Makes me laugh every damn time.
I hope you guys can react to "Dracula Dead and Loving it" too , its directed by the same director of this movie, Mel Brooks! and its really funny as well :) , it also stars Leslie Nielson from the naked gun movies . would love to see a reaction to this!
You know, I've seen this move at least 100+ times, and I've never once got the "Locksley and Bagelle" joke, so thanks for that. lol. This is one of my favorite movies of all time, I'd watch it as a kid every time it would come on HBO and subsequently Comedy Central growing up.
I just finished rewatching 2 of your videos (Clerks and Bowfinger) when this one popped up. I guess one more can't hurt ;)
Hot Damn! Another excellent choice. Oh, Master Robin, you've lost your arms in battle!
these guys have radio show energy
You'll pick up on new jokes every time you watch it. I can't tell you how many times I've seen this movie. Today was the first time I realized the Bagels and Lox joke because you drew attention to it. My favorite joke in the whole thing is at the end when Latrine is saving the sheriff the pill she gave him to save his life is a lifesaver mint candy.
Yeah, the only other thing I remember Rottingham's actor from is he had a recurring role on Cheers for awhile as Kirstie Alley's boyfriend.
Ironically, I think his character's name on the show was Robin.
As a little reference...
The hangman is the same hangman as in Blazing Saddles.
The priest doing the marrying is also the King of Druidia from Spaceballs.
And even the "Men In Tights" song is set to the same tune as "Jews In Space"
Finally nobody does reaction of this movie why not
Great movie!
You guys should do Spaceballs, another hilarious Mel Brooks film.
