      @@orgonkothewildlyuntamed6301 I saw Errol Flynn's Robin. 5 Stars to him. But with so many Robin Hood movies around, I can't say it was the best. In fact, there is no "best" Robin Hood for me, unless it's this one, whose funny lines I find myself repeating year after year.

      I was in boot camp and a guy fell in the water on the confidence course. A look of sheer terror overtook the guy. He was kinda floating on his back and looking for something to grab to save his life. DI was screaming at him to stand up. The water might have been waist high. Good times

    What makes this movie great is the subtle to obvious puns and funnies you see and hear throughout the film (none today has this), this scene is no acception. As you can see, both Lili' John and Robin are seriously intent of what they're doing, yet, it is totally ridiculous they continue on with what is happening... after all that silliness, it's amusing to see Robin having a serious face when Lili' John is yelling he's drowning in only wee deep of water... one of Mel Brook's funniest movies.
