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.


Excellent flick!

I'm amazed that with the success of Chappelle's Show that Men In Tights hasn't been released since this was Dave Chappelle's first film.

I'm on the east bank. I'm on the west bank. It's not that critical.

This is one of those questions I ask myself daily.

The other one is "Did you say 'Abe Lincoln'?"

That was such a well-written line. On the one hand, it was an illustration of the futile argument John and RObin had - on the other hand, it was a homeboy on about east-coast/west-coast hostility. I only got the latter years later, when I moved to the US...

[Blinkin, the blind man, is up in a perch looking out for strangers]

Robin Hood: Blinkin! What are you doing?
Blinkin: Guessing. I guess no one's coming.

===============================

Robin Hood: This is Ahchoo.
Blinkin: A Jew? Here?
Robin Hood: No no, not a Jew. Ahchoo.

===============================

Sherrif of Rottingham: This was to be a "private" meeting... I mean, who are these men?
Don Giovanni: These? These are my most trusted associates. On my right, Dirty Ezio. On my left, Filthy Luca.
Filthy Luca: [Stands Up] We thank you, for inviting us on the day of your daughter's wedding.
Don Giovanni: No, no, no.
Filthy Luca: I hope that her first child, is a masculine child.
Don Giovanni: We haven't even started the meeting yet!
Filthy Luca: ....Oh yeah.
[sits down]

That and...

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

...are two of my most quoted lines.

Of course, nobody gets the reference, but I'm used to that.

Oh, they call me Little John. But don't let my name fool you. In real life, I'm very big.

I'd be very happy if this ever hit DVD! Easily my favorite Mel Brooks movie.

I hadn't really thought about this movie for a while, but after hearing some of the great quotes I really want to get this.

I wonder why this isn't out yet. Seems like it should be a regular no-brainer bargain title, like the other classic Brooks films.

Definately will pick it up if/when it is released.

This really needs to be on DVD in R1. For the time being, though...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...620109-3578214

...you can always get in R2.
