I mostly recognized Blankfield from two guest appearances on SAVED BY THE BELL (though I never would have been able to confirm that without IMDb), but heвЂ™s so over-the-top funny here.

ChappelleвЂ™s wit and timing is on full display here, and watching his earliest film role, itвЂ™s no surprise he went on to be such a big star.ДЄnother hysterical addition to the cast вЂ“ who doesnвЂ™t usually get a lot of credit вЂ“ is Mark Blankfield, who plays RobinвЂ™s blind man-servant Blinkin. Chappelle plays Ahchoo, son of Asneeze (Isaac Hayes), a parody of Morgan FreemanвЂ™s role Azeem, a Moor who follows Robin after the archer saves his life. ThereвЂ™s very little that doesnвЂ™t work for me here.Д«ut the real highlight is comedian Dave ChappelleвЂ™s first feature film role. The film is stuffed with great comedic actors вЂ“ Richard Lewis as Prince John Roger Rees sending up Alan RickmanвЂ™s turn as Sheriff of Nottingham (Rottingham in Men in Tights) Tracy Ullman, Dom DeLuise and Dick Van Patten all have bit parts.

I could watch this movie over and over again.Д¬ary Elwes, the star of my favorite movie ever in THE PRINCESS BRIDE, takes another swashbuckling turn here as the title character, combining the charm he exuded as Westley with some stellar comedic timing, usually as the straight man for the wacky cast of characters surrounding him. Most of this film вЂ“ including the quote at the top of this post вЂ“ is a direct spoof of the Costner film.ДЄnd itвЂ™s simply perfect. The last really fun Mel Brooks spoof movie, ROBIN HOOD: MEN IN TIGHTS is a great send-up of the character, but it probably wouldnвЂ™t have happened without Kevin CostnerвЂ™s ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES, which came out in 1991. Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993) Directed by Mel Brooks Written by Mel Brooks & Evan Chandler & J.D. Mel Brooks takes his talent to spoof to Sherwood Forest, sending up the mythology behind the greatest archer who ever lived (and Kevin Costner). вЂњBecause, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent.вЂќ
