Most of the cast had to go through sword fight training. Except Cary Elwes. His training for The Princess Bride meant he was already very proficient.

@MattB2603 2 years ago

A couple facts for you. When Carey Elwes says "Unlike some Robin Hoods I can speak with an English accent", that was in reference to Robin Hood Prince of Theives. Kevin Costner's English accent was so bad the director eventually told him to just speak with your regular accent. Also the hangman in this movie is the same one from Blazing Saddles. He even dressed the same.

The pill latrine gave the sheriff was an actual life saver! Love all things Mel Brooks

I'm a cosplayer and a group of my friends and I did a Men in Tights costume group [about ten of us plus a Robin and a Maid Marion - I was Blinkin]. We met Cary Elwes while in costume for a photoshoot at a con a couple of years ago and he was surprised and delighted we had so many in the group. He also requested a photo of everyone for himself.

Edit: Also, Men in Tights was a absolute favourite movie growing up. It's my fave hands down with Spaceballs being the close second.

Since you liked this, I would recommend an even older classic: The court jester

For those that may not know: The wandering mole is a reference to Young Frankenstein when Marty Feldman (Igor) was moving the hump. Feldman started doing it just to mess with the others, and once they realized it, Mel Brooks made it a running gag of the film.

Two jokes you might have missed are
1) the fox joke. In 1993, the best way to message someone was to fax them a message, but since it is 12th century they have to fox the Merry Men.
2) When Latrine said I can save your life to sheriff when he got stabbed, she gave him a Lifesavers candy.

Fun Fact: The woman who played Latrine is Tracey Ullman. In the 80's, she had her own show. The show featured a little cartoon segment that would take on a life of its own. That would be The Simpsons.

The "Ovaltine" bit in Young Frankenstein was a spur of the moment ad lib by Cloris Leachman and Gene Wilder was just following her lead on it.

@EMarvinJohnson 2 years ago

The actor who plays the "King" is Richard Lewis. A prominent stand up comedian back in the 80's. Mel Brooks has been very generous with giving comedic roles to prominent stand up comedians. One of the reasons I love his movies.

@DeWin157 2 years ago

Mel Brooks is by far the best satirist in Hollywood, because he brings serious social commentary to every one of his films.

“Rent-a-Wreck” was a car rental company back in the day that specialized in older, ahem, well-loved cars.

As of posting this, i have already seen History of the World Part 1.... all im gonna say is, just WAIT until that reaction lmaoooo!!

But i also wanted to mention that I NOW GET THE "IT'S GOOD TO BE THE KING" JOKE AT THE END OF THIS MOVIE!!!!

i literally cackled when i was watching this edit back because i knew i didnt get it at the time, but NOW I get it!!!!

Mel Brooks continues his legendary streak!!!

Enjoy this video!!

Cary Elwes is one of those actors who can make you laugh with his face alone, and he's not even pulling a face as such. He just smirks, and it's hilarious.

@russelllevine1288 2 years ago

Another bit that nobody seems to have commented on; when Robin enters the feast and drops the pig on the table, it has two parts. First, it's a nod to Errol Flynn carrying in a deer in the same scene, and then, when Prince John mutters, "Trayfe". The actor playing Prince John is (and is playing the character) Jewish; and the word 'trayfe' means 'unclean', or anything that isn't kosher - which pork definitely isn't.

@DarthKilaj85 2 years ago

A fun fact is that Carey Elway was called by Mel Brooks after seeing him in the princess bride and got offered this role but Carey thought it was a joke and hang-up but luckily for him Mel called back and told him he was serious

@mregobuster 2 years ago

To this day I have no reason why, but the funniest part in this movie that leaves me in hilarious laughter is the Abbot walking down and the random guy, "HEY ABBOT!"..."I hate that guy!" Kills me everytime. So damn random.

@kossowankenobi 2 years ago

Mel Brooks quotes were the love language of my childhood, spoken by my elders.
When I saw this in theaters as a teenager, my friends didn't get it and thought I was crazy for laughing at everything. They were obviously too cool for good comedy.

@garethalford682 2 years ago (edited)

The sheriff of Nottingham in this is clearly based off of Alan Rickman’s portrayal in Robin Hood prince of thieves

@01LongPatrol 2 years ago (edited)

I absolutely LOVE Dom DeLuise. One of my all time favorites, and he doesn't disappoint in this movie either. Also cheers to Dave Chappelle, as this was his career film debut.
