Robin Hood Men in Tights

I became a fan of Director and actor Mel Brooks (see link for more information regarding Melbrooks) after watching his movies History of World Part I and Robin Hood Men in Tights. His famous dialogue being “Its good to be the king”. I liked Robin Hood Men in Tights, it was like some one taking lollu sabha 15 years back making spoof of English movie Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Movie starts with the Hero(Cary Elwes) escaping from the prison in Jerusalem and returning back to England to claim his fathers land from the evil Prince John( who took the throne from King Richard when he was on crusade). Hero tries recruiting an army for fighting prince john, ends up meeting little john ( namm oor bayilvan ranganathan) over a small bridge. Hero and Bayilvan ranganthan( athanga little john) will try to fight for crossing the bridge( water will be running from two taps below the bridge sema nakkal) . As usual in all movies the hero wins and Bayilvan ranganthan will fall into the small stream of water running from two small taps and will fight for life( lollu sabha nakkalakum). There will be an archery contest before the climax of the movie in which Hero loses the archery contest, he remarks that he's not supposed to lose. Hero will produce a copy of the script from behind his back, and comes to the conclusion that he indeed gets another shot. Prince John and the Sheriff, also check their scripts and admit that, according to what's written, Hero does indeed get another shot. I don’t think I am doing justice by describing the events in the movie, the movie has to be seen to be enjoyed. If you are a fan of Lollu Sabha, trust me you will enjoy the movie.
