Review Time

Warning: there is inappropriate sexual advances/racism including white on black violence/transgender or cross-dressing which some people may take offence/capital punishment/shooting/stabbing/impaling/breaking/animal cruelty/animal waste/regeneration/medical.

After escaping prison: Robin of Loxley/Robin Hood/other names & character [Cary Elwes:] he comes home to find out that everything has been taken away from him, so he set to work to put everything right, including getting a band of merry men two help him such as Ahchoo/other name [Dave Chappel:] the son Asneeze [Isaac Hayes:] this man assisted Loxley in his escape and in return he asks if basically as his son is an exchange student, he needs guidance which  Loxley is honoured to do [yes if you're wondering we have sneezing  references/jokes.] Rabbi Tuckman [Mel Brooks he is one of the Writers/Director of this film as well:] as his name would suggest he is a Rabbi that has a loose association with  Loxley/Robin Hood and his band of merry men; in fact he offers them all a medical procedure.

Generally speaking: the script is a spoof of Robin Hood, in particular Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves 1991; in fact Rabbi Tuckman makes reference to this film title in a dialogue exchange minus the Robin Hood and the 1991 bit. The framework and pacing of this 104 minutes film is good; well as in one way or another there is something happening or a comedy reference or anything really the framework just has to be smooth and rotating.

Comedy/Art/Action; ranges from breaking the fourth wall; be it sending a message to the Director Mel Brooks or a camera operative trying to get a closer look but breaks this window [this is not the only time that the cameras will play a moment of comedy role] or talking to the camera or with a look and mannerisms, we also have art with musical numbers for an example from the genre of rap at somewhere at the beginning and somewhere at the end of this project. We also have a literally vague interpretation to 20th Century Fox [but in this film it goes under 12th Century Fox; a fox messaging servers that sounds like a dolphin; when the fox runs and I know I have already made a film reference from but you'll understand why I am bringing it up again momentarily, if you don't know already; we also have a movie reference to Blazing Saddles 1974 Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2023/04/blazing-saddles-1974-by.html Mel Brooks had the similar level of positions influence on Blazing Saddles, watch out for the mole and finally to the comedy action; Little John [Eric Allan Kramer:] a well built man, when we first meet him; he is a toll man for this bridge vs. Loxley/Robin Hood with two staffs [one each,] but sadly throughout this action sequence these staffs he snapping and getting smaller and smaller.

Character developments and performances; the character developments are excellent versions of who they are meant to be and the performances; well this is very much a cast performs; smooth and fluent chemistry from everyone in this cast; everyone did their part to make this film good fun.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; it is most definitely a film that you need to see once in your life and there are two extra scenes at some point or points in the ending credits in some capacity. This film also has an award accredited to its name Young Artist Awards 1994 Young Artist Award Outstanding Family Motion Picture - Comedy
