Mel Brooks runs wild in a Sherwood Forest that's more blue than green. Subtlety dies a thousand deaths, as Brooks' lavatorial arrows find the mark time and again in this skit (satire is definitely too strong a word here) on the Hood legend, already targeted by Brooks in his TV series When Things Were Rotten. Cary Elwes and Amy Yasbeck wisely play this straight as Robin and Marian, letting Brooks have his head as Rabbi Tuckman, who's given a good run for his money by Roger Rees' snivelling Sheriff of Rottingham and Tracey Ullman's cackling hag Latrine. Brooks, never a man to let good taste stand in his way, steals shamelessly from past successes in what resembles nothing more than an (inferior) English countryside version of Blazing Saddles.
