    • Trivia
      The shot of the guards falling down in a row took several weeks to prepare.
    • Goofs
      During the "Men in Tights" song and dance number at the lyrics: '...We roam around the forest looking for fights...', Dave Chappelle (Ahchoo) makes a minor mistake in choreography by raising his right-hand to his forehead instead of his left-hand, and then makes a quick switch to correct his mistake.
    • Quotes

      Prince John: And why should the people listen to you?

      Robin Hood: Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent.

      [referring to the then recent blockbuster Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, in which Kevin Costner played the role with an American accent]

    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits appear after shooting fire arrows. At the end of the credits the arrows are flying into village houses and setting them on fire.

    Unlike other Robin Hoods I do it with an English accent
    This was a very enjoyable spoof, but when watching it one thing stuck in my mind. It was when Robin said, "Unlike other Robin Hoods I do it with an English accent" which of cause was said as a joke to Kevin Cosner's "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves". But as I was thinking of other past Robin Hoods, I was reminded of two other Robin Hoods without English accents. One was Dick Gutier on a TV show called "When Things Were Rotten" and the other was George Segal in a TV movie called, "The Zany Adventures of Robin Hood". Both projects were produced by a short Jew from Brooklyn born with the name of Melvin Kaminsky. I wonder if Mel Brooks knows of this man.
