Context Trivia / RobinHoodMeninTights

Go To

1* CompletelyDifferentTitle: In Brazil, the movie received the appropriate name of ''A Louca! Louca História de Robin Hood'' (The Crazy! Crazy Story of Robin Hood)
2* FakeBrit: Creator/AmyYasbeck, Mark Blankfield, Creator/EricAllanKramer, and Creator/MatthewPorretta. Creator/DaveChappelle and Richard Lewis [[NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent don't even bother with the accent]], but [[RuleOfFunny that's the joke]].
3* HeAlsoDid: Co-writer J. David Shapiro later did the screenplay for ''Film/BattlefieldEarth''.
4* MissingTrailerScene: In the trailer, Robin shoots an arrow that flies around tree, brakes, swerves, and eventually completely misses target on a tree, splitting the tree in half. This doesn't happen in the film.
5* NonSingingVoice: None of the actors actually sang their own parts. All of the singing was done by professional singers. Debbie James and Arthur Rubin did the singing for Amy Yasbeck and Creator/CaryElwes.
6* ProductionPosse: Dick Van Patten and Creator/DomDeLuise return.
7* PromotedFanboy: Creator/DaveChappelle was a big fan of Creator/MelBrooks' previous films, particularly ''Film/BlazingSaddles'', and was thrilled to have the opportunity to work with him.
8* ThrowItIn:
9** The part where Ahchoo pumps up his sneakers during a fight came about because Creator/DaveChappelle happened to be wearing the shoes on set along with his costume. At first, Creator/MelBrooks pointed out that they were '''somewhat''' anachronistic, but (Mel Brooks being Mel Brooks) decided to make a joke about it.
10** While the stunt of the Sheriff falling through Latrine's roof and directly into her bed obviously took a great deal of planning and coordination, Roger Rees and Creator/TraceyUllman improvised the business afterwards of Latrine trying to get the Sheriff to have sex with her.
11* VindicatedByCable: A lot like with ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'', this movie found a bigger audience in home video.
12* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
13** Wrestling/HulkHogan (yes, ''that'' Hulk Hogan) was offered the role of Little John.
14** Creator/SeanConnery thought it would be funny if he reprised his King Richard role from ''Film/RobinHoodPrinceOfThieves'', but in drag. Creator/MelBrooks found it funny too, but turned him down due to his salary.
