Ah. It's a shame that I didn't know I needed to watch all his movies in order but I guess it just means I need to revisit them after I see them all! Hahaha
That part where little John is "Drowning" always cracks me up especially since his character basically got saved the same way in the Costner version of the film (except in rapids and not a puddle).
The referemce of Scarlet O'Hara referes to the character in the movie Gone With The Wind staring Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh who played Scarlet O'Hara
Cary Elwes was such a good pick for Robin Hood. He's perfect for the swashbuckling hero, but he know just how deliver lines to sound like he's taking everything 100% serious no matter how absurd the situation.
Yeah, but I do have one complaint with Cary Elwes being the lead in this movie. This movie already is so similar to "The Princess Bride" in look and tone, and with him as the lead, it muddies the waters even more.
This is actually more of a parody of Prince of Thieves. Specifically the line, "unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent. " Also, how the Shreif of Rottingham is dressed. The hangman plays the same role in Blazzing Saddles, You would like other Mel Brooks movies.
Nice, thanks. I'll keep an eye out of the hangman in Blazing Saddles when I get to that one. I'm excited to watch Dracula: Dead and Loving It, it seems right up my alley.
When watching these older movies, there is a distinct advantage to being an older person. Love watching youngsters discovering the gems from before they were born.
It's funny you say that Prince John sounds like Seinfeld, because that's Richard Lewis, who is Larry David's oldest and best friend. But they're all New York Jewish comedians from around the same era of stand-up...so they all have very similar speaking patterns.
7:49 - Holy Shit! that movie was stuck in our VCR for six months because my dog knocked it over - we didn't have cable at the time, so my brother and I watched it over and over again whenever there wasn't anything good on tv AND I STILL NEVER GOT THAT HOME ALONE JOKE till you just explained it!! 😱😱
the fun thing is that Matthew Poretta who plays will scarlet actually played Robin Hood in the 1997-98 adventure series: the new adventures of Robin Hood
I quickly googled what I suspected might be the issue and I think you're right. 😂 This might be a rare case where after I shoot my video I'll watch a couple other reactions to see what they kept in.
"Will Scarlett O'Hara" from Georgia... if you had seen the classic movie "Gone with the Wind" you'd have gotten the reference. The main character in GotW is a young woman named Scarlett O'Hara. And her plantation was in Georgia.
So in High School, we used to play a game with a comb like they do at the end of the fight with Robin and Little John. We added to it that if you got it, they got to drag the comb over your knuckles (it was called Bloody Knuckles and it can also be played with just fists or with a quarter). Scarlet O'Hara is the lead female character in Gone With the Wind. And now I got to the part where you mentioned Princess Bride - I should have waited til I watched the whole thing. I consider is role in Princess Bride as comedy - sorry about that. If you haven't seen The Godfather (or know anything about it), then it's hard to appreciate the lizard scene (with Dom DeLuise but I don't know if you know who that is). There is also a Dirty Harry reference in there. For a Mel Brooks musical, check out The Producers (both versions are good so poll your members on what they prefer (1967 or 2005) ). I think History of the World is also a musical but I might be wrong on that. For other non-sense with some musical numbers, you might like Monty Python as well - I'd start with Monty Python and the Holy Grail or Monty Python and The Meaning of Life. Another popular one is Life of Brian. Amy Yasbeck was married to John Ritter before his death. Yes, that is Sir Patrick Stewart to us.
Woah thanks for all the info! We used to play bloody knuckles with quarters, it was brutal sometimes. 😂 I want to watch more Monty Python for sure. The only one I can remember really is Meaning of Life and a few moments from Holy Grail, although I'm not certain I've seen the full movie rather just clips like the Black Knight and the coconut trotting.
a lot of these jokes are call backs to Blazing Saddles, History of the world, etc some jokes come from popular products that used to be on the market or references to other films most people miss The Patriot Arrow witch is a reference to a new type of Missile used in the war that was happening at the time and the "Hey Abbot" which references Lue Costello , a comedian from the 40s
Ah okay, thanks for the heads up. And glad I'm not the only one that didn't get the Patriot Arrow thing. I mean I got that it was some kinda homing missile but haven't heard of the Patriot missile. Appreciate it!
19:30 - If you like musicals, you might like The Producers. Mel Brooks originally made a movie by that name, but then reworked the plot into a full musical. The songs are great, and he even got two of the main voice actors from The Lion King as the title characters.
The "long" scene is a parody on The Godfather. And shouldn't it be common knowledge that Patriot Arrows are missiles equipped with technology to Intercept On Target, eh? Quite expensive, obviously - that's why Robin only has one to save the day:)
Figured that was a Godfather joke still long winded for one bit. Haven't heard the term Patriot missiles but it makes sense. Apparently because they were used heavily in the Gulf War in 91 they were talked about a lot back then. I was 7. 😂
Amy Yasbeck (Marion) also does her British accent for Mel in Dracula Dead And Loving It, a parody of the Bela Lugosi era Dracula and Bram Stoker's Dracula (with Gary Oldman and Keanu Reeves).
I'm ashamed to say this was the first Mel Brooks movie I ever saw. Fortunately, I saw Blazing Saddles and the Producers, but I still find this endlessly rewatchable because I grew up with it. Every kid I knew in '93 was singing "We're men" - even if they were girls. It's clearly not in the same league as some of Mel Brooks' best, but it's very nostalgic and very 90s. It has all the usual comedic tropes from that era and always cracks me up.
Fun Fact for you, Jay: The line where Robin makes the comment, " Unlike Other Robin Hood's, I Can Speak With An English Accent" That was a jab at Kevin Costner's noticeably absent English accent in his portrayal of Robin Hood in " Robin Hood:Prince Of Thieves"
While I love this film a lot, I think it's one of Brooks' weaker entries, because it relies so much on topical humor and film references from the 90s, particularly the Kevin Costner Robin Hood. Those jokes are mildly amusing if you know the context, but it means that it hasn't really aged well.
Yes, thank you thank you! You have been killing it with these reaction videos. Most if not all have been from my childhood and hold a deep nostalgia for me. This one i saw when it was released and I actually had a standing cutout of the poster with Hotshots part Deux on the otherside. Through Airplane, and the great Leslie Neilson i found Mel Brookes and any of his movies are great, also the Naked Gun Trilogy and top secret. The nice thing about all those movies is the rewatchability. Ive seen them all many many times and still find new jokes etc. And actuakky today you mentioned the life saver and i never caught it. Again thank you Jay for allowing me to reconnect to feelings of watching it for the first time when I was a child through a fresh pair of eyes. The only thing that does it better is when I can sit with my son and show him them for the first time. Keep being excellent my friend.
Glad you're enjoying these! You mentioned a couple movies I plan to watch too! (Airplane, Naked Gun, and Hot Shots Part Deux). I actually filmed Hot Shots 1 already and dropping Rambo this week so I'm up to speed for Hot Shots Part Deux. 😂
Yay! One of my favorites! Elwes was also in a movie called Kiss The Girls that is a great movie. The meeting between the 3 guys and the sheriff was a call back to at least 2 movies. The Godfather and Dirty Harry.
Nice! Kiss the Girls I did see ages ago and the sequel! I dig crime thrillers so I've seen a ton of those but didn't know who Cary was at the time. That would be a fun revisit. Godfather and Dirty Harry are on my list!
Oh man, that was a GREAT movie. I must have watched it 10 times or more. I adore Morgan Freeman....... and he was in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Full circle!
I wouldn't say the black sheriff would be a spoiler for Blazing Saddles as it's basically the entire idea behind the plot of the movie. Recommend that movie as well though if/when you can get to it.
Oh okay. I haven't read the synopsis or watched the trailer because I always want to go in as blind as I can outside of whatever references I've seen. Blazing Saddles is absolutely on my list! So I'll be getting to it sooner than later. Thanks!
@@JayBondReacts I'm not sure Mel Brooks movies are really ones you have to worry about plot spoilers anyhow. Who really cares if Robin Hood ends up with Maid Marian at the end (which he most likely will because of course he will), the movie is much more about the jokes along the way.
@@JayBondReacts There’s another Mel Brooks reference just before that, when Rabbi looks at the camera (as King Richard is kissing Marion) and says “it’s good to be the king”-that’s from History of the World, Part 1
@@thefourshowflip Nice! I have yet to see that movie. I figured it was from something that I didn't quite get but it still worked without the callback which is good.
Dave Chappelle was a nobody when this movie was made. But Mel Brooks saw him on "Star Search" and liked him, so Mel gave Dave a role in this movie. And obviously, that opened up a lot of opportunities for Dave. Listen to any interview where Dave has a chance to talk about his heroes, and he will talk about Mel Brooks like he was his own father. Dave LOVES Mel Brooks, and minces no words about his appreciation for Mel Brooks and how much he loves, appreciates, respects, and adores Mel Brooks. In fact, it's said in Hollywood that if you mention Mel Brooks around Dave Chappelle and give him a window to talk, he will not shut up about how much he love Mel Brooks.
@@JayBondReacts Awesome 👌 That was my first Mel Brooks experience and then Blazing Saddles. Yes there is a black sherrif in that. So I will end with "Groovess" you will get it after History 💕🤭🤣Have fun
After "Get Smart" Mel Brooks made another TV series called "When things were Rotten". It was the weekly adventures of Robin hood. One of the people who appeared in it was Dick Van Patten as Frier Tuck. When he did the movie he cut the scene wherre zTuck says Hey Abbott And put it into the movie (therefore the young Dick Van Pattern is going Hey Abbott and the old victim and Patton is going I hate that guy
Much of plot follows the Errol Flynn film "The Adventures of Robin Hood" 1938. The scene with Don Giovanni is a parody of Marlon Brando in "The Godfather" ( don't tell us you haven't seen that either! ). You have a lot of films to watch!
I haven't seen Godfather but I figured that was the reference. I've seen jokes about it pop up in pop culture a bunch. I think my first mobster reaction on this channel will be Goodfellas but may dip into the Godfather franchise at some point.
I love that Mel Brooks not only took pot shots at the 90's need to put a rap song in everything, whether it fit or not, but he did it better than everyone else.
I also didn't like the mock godfather scene at the middle and thought it was dragged out, being the kid that I was at the time I watched it I had no reference to Marlon Brando and I didn't know what a legend Dom Deluis was (the actor that played the mobster in thescene - and probably the reason it was not cut, even if it did drag a little.. ), so the whole cotton ball and lizard thing went right over my head... (Marlon Brando put cotton balls in his mouth for the audition for Don Corleone , and while filming the movie, he found a stray cat around the set that he then decided to incorporate into the scene, reportedly no one could get him to do anything he didn't want to, even back then, so Coppola just added the cat in..)
Haha Thanks for the heads up! Even being that they were in jokes, could have been shorter. I see that happen alot with cameos, particularly in indie horror that I watch. You can tell the director loves an actor and just keeps everything they say instead of editing it down to keep pacing. The first thing I learned as an editor is to "kill your darlings".
I can't believe this came out in 1993!! I remember watching this so much as kid. I still quote Dave Chappelle's character to this day!! After reading some of the comments, I realized a lot went over my head too. I have never seen Blazing Saddles either, so I know I missed some of the references. I know that the line about the him being the Robin Hood that speaks with a British accent was in reference to Prince of Thieves because Kevin Costner did not use a British accent. Also the mob scene, I finally get it because I just watched the Godfather lol!! Anyway another great reaction!!
I'm late to the Godfather movies as well. 😂 I believe back in the day I just couldn't commit to longer movies. I saw the double wide VHS tapes and said no way!

After reading some of the comments, I realized a lot went over my head too. I have never seen Blazing Saddles either, so I know I missed some of the references. I know that the line about the him being the Robin Hood that speaks with a British accent was in reference to Prince of Thieves because Kevin Costner did not use a British accent. Also the mob scene, I finally get it because I just watched the Godfather lol!! Anyway another great reaction!!
I'm late to the Godfather movies as well. 😂 I believe back in the day I just couldn't commit to longer movies. I saw the double wide VHS tapes and said no way!
@@JayBondReacts 😂😂 same! Even now I'm pretty sure it took me two days to finish it. I will say, I did enjoy it and I understand why people love it.
🙌🏽
