Please send thoughts and prayers for the recording of the audiobook; every previous attempt has apparently prompted my neighbours to start extremely noisy and protracted construction projects 😂 Hopefully my new acoustic foam will damp the sounds of any enthusiastic builders near my new house!
Not a lot of sword fighting in Blazing Saddles but I think you’ll enjoy it
Jill, if a Mum repairing a house they’ve moved into has *any* silence to record an audiobook, I think we know who has the magic powers Lady Rosamund doesn’t “currently” have… 😅
Yaaaaay. Audiobook!
Try those cheap moving blankets over the doors and windows, where most of the sound leaks in. A layer of blackout curtain fabric on the outside of the window covers will prevent them from disintegrating in the sunlight. (Advice from a soundproofing video I recently watched, but can't find and in any case don't know how to link here.)
By the way, Jill. If you haven't seen John Wayne's The Quiet Man, you certainly should. Then if you want to review the fight at the end, I think it would be a good time.
Yes, Blazing Saddles. YES
If you've enjoyed Men in Tights- You will probably enjoy Blazing Saddles. It has less songs than Robin Hood.
I recommend Blazing Saddles because it makes fun of racist stereotypes. But be warned, it is also full of racist stereotypes.
All the yeses
Yes watch it. No sword fighting but still very good
Whether or not you make a video about it, _Blazing Saddles_ is a must watch movie.
In Robin's defense, of course he's confident. He's read the script.
yes yes he does
"I lost.
....I lost?
Wait a minute I'm not supposed to lose!"
What gets me about Men in Tights is the HUGE grin that Cary Elwes has during every single scene. Utter joy.
He's simply enjoying himself immensely.
and yes, Slapsies.
'Slap-back'.
@@NarwahlGaming Yeah, It really stands out.
Not really fight related, but I never fail to crack up when the "pill" the witch gives the sheriff is an actual Life Saver mint.
How have I never noticed that before? 😂
One of many, many reasons to watch "Robin Hood Men in Tights":
"I've come to warn you that, if you do not stop levying these evil taxes, I shall lead the good people of England in a revolt against you."
"And why should the people listen to you!?!"
"Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent!"
That was such a great dig at Kevin Costner. I laughed a bit too hard at that the first time I saw it because I had worked at a movie theater when Prince of Thieves came out and it was so underwhelming.
@@PuppyMonsters and don't forget, the reason Patrick Stewart used a Scottish accent, was to make fun of Sean Connery refusing/unable to use an English accent as King Richard.
@@PuppyMonsters I also love the French dub, I think, when it's "Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, i don't dance with wolves".
Also! One of the reasons Cary Elwes looks so amazing in this movie is because he had just come off of Princess Bride where he'd spent pretty much the entire duration of shooting practicing with two of the greatest traditional sword fight choreographers of the time. Probably what won him the role honestly. The choreographer for Men in Tights said he pretty much had to teach Cary nothing, just give him the steps and let him go nuts cause he was already so well trained.
Mel Brooks wanted him because of seeing him in TPB. According to IMDB, which is never wrong.
Also, unlike all those other Robin Hoods, he speaks with a British accent.
@@MonkeyJedi99 erroll flynn's robin hood had a touch of one. very crisply enunciated, too.
kevin costner, on the other hand ... yeeeewsh ...
@@thehellyousaythat's the joke. It was a direct jab at the fact that Costner's attempt at a British accent was so bad that they allegedly gave up and refilmed the scenes where he had tried
I wouldn't say he'd *just* come off of Princess Bride, which was made six years earlier. But I bet he and Patinkin still remember most of that choreography.
Two things. 1. Yes, see Blazing Saddles. Released the same year as Young Frankenstein, it is a classic of its genre and still deeply funny. Not a lot of swordplay though.
2. In regards to making Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Cary Elwes was quite saddened at one point in the shooting of it to hear of the passing of Andre Roussimoff, aka Andre the Giant, his co-star and friend in The Princess Bride. As he put it, “It was very hard to be funny that day.”
It was such a poignant quote to hear from Andre how much he enjoyed Princess Bride as he was just one of the cast. He fitted in. He wasn’t doing a freak show based on his height or any such. He was just a normal guy.
A bit like Hendrix story. Such a sad one.
Speaking of a "sneaky Princess Bride reference", your use of "let me explain! No, there is too much. Let me sum up", was appreciated👏👏👏
Blazing Saddles is one of Mel Brook's best movies. It's a must see.
It has been observed that while it’s a hysterical film in the current social climate it could never be made into a film today.
If pressed, I would say Blazing Saddles is the funniest, but Young Frankenstein is the best movie.
@@ianbelanger7459_It's Frankenstein._ (use whichever pronunciation you like, if fits).
Accurate
@@alexius23
Mel Brooks is often quoted as saying they said the same thing when they were making it. They also said the same thing about Tropic Thunder as well.
Blazing Saddles is arguably one of the best comedies ever put to celluloid. Yes, watch it.
During casting Mel Brooks reached out to John Wayne to play the Gene Wilder part. Wayne said that he could not play that part but that he would be first in line to see the movie….
Watch it, but film your reaction.
Agree, I didn’t understand how awesome it was at 23. I’m turning 33 and gave it another try and it’s effing awesome
Men in Tights is a perfect parody of Prince of Thieves, but it went above & beyond for the final fight. The crewmember sandwich gag is my favourite part.
My absolute favourite line in that film is 'Unlike other Robin Hoods /I/ can speak with an English accent'.. a clear swipe at Kevin Costner's portrayal in Prince of Thieves two years earlier.
10:00 I feel like Robin's self confident energy is explained well during the archery contest: he knows how the fight is going to go already. To sum up: "I lost. I lost? Wait a minute, I'm not supposed to lose. Let me see the script."
Yeah, the fourth wall takes a bit of a beating at times. Classic Mel Brooks...
That'a the confidence of plot armor for you
EVERYone should watch Blazing Saddles.
At least once
_"I'm sorry to inform you, ma'am, but that's my arm."_
I saw that film for the first time on Starz when I was about... 12? Maybe 13? I nearly died. I could NOT stop laughing. It was hard to BREATHE.
I love this movie. The witch’s response to the Prince asking about her surname Latrine is the best. “It used to be Shit’ouse!”
Good Change, Good Change!
In that scene, was his mole on the other side?
@@Vohlfied He has a mole?
Aw, you skipped my favorite gag in the fight when Marion seems genuinely concerned that Robin's dog loses the shadow puppet exchange to the Sheriff's duck.
The other shadowplay whilst singing, The Night Is Young and You're So Beaitiful, was quite eye-opening too.
A race home, frantic search through my DVD collection and quick scene jump confirms that yes, the bit where your blu-ray skipped is where Robin punches the sherrif in the face.
Now I have the DVD in I have to rematch this cinematic masterpiece again. Who cares that it's 11PM
@@josephradley3160 'Tis the sensible thing to do. 😂
@@warriormaiden9829 I am not often accused of doing the sensible thing.
@@josephradley3160 Well, my humblest apologies for doing such a preposterous thing. Please, join me in returning to the usual scarcity of sanity that is to be found 'round these parts. 😂
@@warriormaiden9829 just the chuckle I needed this morning. Thank you.
So what I'm getting is that the basic joke of the Robin vs. Rottingham fight is basically "What would it look like if Errol Flynn's Robin Hood fought Alan Rickman's Sheriff?"
Dont forget the best part of the stick fight: the music. The fight is scored so incredibly precise and highly amusing.
Oh snap! It’s Cat from Red Dwarf rapping about pancakes!
My favorite lines from the movie
"Hey Blinken!"
"Did you say Abe Lincoln?"
Blinken is amazing, definitely one of the best characters in the film.
@@mattobito Blinken! What are you Doing up there?
Guessing? I Guess no ones coming!
@@Senekenn Robin is that you?!

"No, I was wrong"
_"Are you kidding? I heard that coming from a mile away."_
_"Right-o, Blinkin. Very good."_
_"Pardon? Who's talking?"_
I am baffled by just the question, "Would you recommend watching Blazing Saddles?"... Yes as empathically as everyone else has said, YES. Watch it keeping in mind the era it was created with popcorn and plenty of drinks for "Pthhh!", "They said that!" moments.
Yeah, absolutely this. Taken by today's standards, a lot of the jokes are not great. Taken in the right time context yes, it was amazing.
@@manikzag Making fun of racists and bigots is as funny today as it was then.
@@arthurmoore9488 you know...morons.
she should have asked if there is anyone who WOULDN'T recommended she watch it!
I'm not at all baffled by her asking that question because it absolute GUARANTEED a flood of responses in the comments. Sneaky Jill!
Cary Elwes was a Robin Hood with an English accent, which was a nice change.
Blazing saddles is a MUST!!!
He says the sheriff is Near!
NO! DAGNBAIT! I SAID THE SHERIFF IS A N*DONG*!
"Just you and me and my GUAAAARDS!"
"Man to man!
Mano e mano!
Just you

and my GUUUUAAAAARDS!"
"Oh look a maguffin"
**cuts to ad for egg mcmuffins**
When that happens.
My best cut to an ad was a serious moment when one character said to another,
_"I only have one thing to say..."_

The sheriff could never beat the Dread pirate Roberts!!
Did you notice the pill that brings the Sheriff back from death is a Life Saver candy?
"A black sheriff??" Yes! Blazing Saddles! Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder are fantastic in this movie.
And neither were the original choices for their roles.
@@thegardenofeatin5965I honestly can’t picture anyone else in those roles. You’d need a Sidney Poitier, but he’s not really known for zany hijinks. Richard Pryor did half of the writing, and he and Wilder did a bunch of movies together later, but he’s too high energy. Cleavon Little handled the suave stuff and the slapstick and and the Bugs Bunny chaos agent stuff equally well. And Wilder with the perfect deadpan to play off him. Perfect casting.
Originally, it was going to be Richard Pryor as Sherrif Bart. I've heard conflicting stories that have on one hand Pryor turning down the role because of conflicts with other projects and also that he felt he wasn't right for the part. (Richard Pryor is one of four people who share writing credits on the movie.) I think Cleavon Little made a better Sherriff Bart because he better at playing comedic scenes straight. Not to say that Pryor couldn't play the part, but it really needs someone who's not known for being a goofball. Still love Richard Pryor movies, especially when he and Gene Wilder teamed up.
More than that - a black sheriff holding himself at gunpoint to keep from getting lynched by the white townfolk!
More than that - a black sheriff holding himself at gunpoint to keep from getting lynched by the local townfolk!
Blazing Saddles is yet another opportunity to see the stellar genius of Madeline Kahn. Which should never be missed.
Eh, I found her performance in the film somewhat underwhelming, almost as if she was just tired. 😜
In all seriousness, she was fantastic.
@@eldorados_lost_searchercan you blame her, with all that love uninspired?

What I love about any cary elwes fight scene is the fact he looks like he truly enjoys doing them.
The energy he creates in every fight is amazing.
That quarter staff was down to a nickle staff by the end of that fight.🤣
Actually, it's a buck and a quarter quarterstaff, but I'm not telling him that.
*Stick* around for the quarterstaff fight? 😂 Touché Jill, Touché
Aaaah, I missed it, how?! 🤣🤣 Cheers!
Quarterstaff? More like 1/16staff, amirite?
@@thatHARVguy 😂
@@thatHARVguy It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it.
"Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent."
Oof.
And, just like everyone else in these comments, I also recommend Blazing Saddles. That one and Young Frankenstein. Top notch writing teams on both, and the presence of Gene Wilder alongside stellar casts. And the BTS story of those two movies, and how neither could have been made without the other. Great stuff.
THANK YOU for the Young Frankenstein mention! I was torn, because I love it so SO much, but there's not really fights for Jill to review. Really hope she sees this and watches both classics!!
BLÜCHER!
[NEIGHING.]
: )
@@Miss_Myth There may not be fights for Jill to review, but there IS the best song-and-dance routine ever put on film!
You mean Jung Fronkensteen? :D
"Wasn't your hump on the other side before?"
"What hump?"
Blazing Saddles is a must for everyone!!!
Mel Brooks may be a comedy guy, but he doesn't do anything half-assed. He's going to do a Star Wars parody? He's going all out. Robin Hood? Hold my bow. Western? Shine your spurs! He truly is a master.
"Let me sum up." Loved the Princess Bride quote.😁
*Blazing Saddles.* It's one of Mel Brookes' classics a reason. I enjoy it a lot and i feel like because Brookes worked with Black actors to not be offensive for the sake of it, i feel like especially for the time is really refreshing to see a Black man starring in a feature film & really commanding the scenes while manipulating racists to get out of sticky situations
Exactly. Aside from a few uncomfortable gay jokes, Blazing Saddles never punches down. The joke is usually how the racist and/or greedy idiots get their comeuppance. It has the same effect as The Producers.
I think Richard Prior worked with Mel Brooks for the script? Also, racism is very much the butt of the joke.... along with a lot of other things.
@@jackthemayor2518 That's why I think people are missing the point if they're saying Blazing Saddles couldn't be made today
@@Nkanyiso_K No that is the point they are making you can't even make fun of racists if those racists are being racist in your movie.
@@Nkanyiso_K It couldn't be made today not because it is "offensive", but because hollywood execs are scared to take sensitive subjects head on in an opinionated manner outside of the occasional fan service. It barely got made when it did. It would be like making a romantic comedy starring a trans person that directly makes fun of conservatives anti-trans policies. Getting a movie studio to sign off on paying for that and distributing it to all the major theaters would be basically impossible.
Blazing Saddles is truly one of the greatest movies ever made
Blazing saddles should be mandatory viewing
One of the biggest takeaways from these videos is that Carey Elwes is pretty great at this stuff.
The Sheriff didn't actually die. He was only mostly dead!
Must be bluffing
As someone who practices a martial art where I actually have to fight someone with these weapons and not just “fake fight” as you put it I have so much respect for the stage actors who can make these entertaining and convincing fights. I know it can be exhausting in general but add on the fact you are trying to make it look both entertaining and convincing while not actually trying to hit your “opponent” I can tell it takes a lot of work.
Can I just say
I am just so happy to see a video dedicated to Men in Tights, it's up there as one of my favourite films of all time, I adore it so
Parry 4, party 3, dodge 2, dodge 1, and the Sheriff gets burned on his 6.
I've seen this movie so many times. And it wasn't until a few months ago that I saw, in another reaction video to this movie, that the "magic pill" that the witch gives the Sheriff to save his life is quite literally a LIFESAVER mint...
Lol, that clip was used as a commercial on TV after the movie came out
Blazing Sadles - yes a piece of classic genius
Blazing Saddles - yes
Princess Bride - yes
Young Frankenstein - yes
Anything and everything by the Monty Python troupe - yes
The Court Jester - yes (and *this* is where the "musical number to introduce the story" may originate from - but it's hard to say "originate" about movies with a straight face, so...yeah)
For anyone who hasn’t seen Men in Tights, it’s currently free to watch on CZcams
I mean, I have it on DVD right over there * *gestures to shelf* * So, I'm good!😁
Ooh, thanks for the word. Haven't seen it in years, and I think it needs a rewatch.
😃😃😃😃😃 thanks for the heads up!
I've watched it, too many times, but thanks for this. I'm gonna go look it up now. 😊😊😊😊😊
Pro Tip for Watching on YT:
Turn off autoplay
Fast forward to ~ the last 10 seconds.
Let the movie finish playing.
Hit Replay.
You're welcome :)
Would we recommend Blazing Saddles? Yes. Yes, absolutely.
I confess, the stick fight is the one part of Men in Tights I just can't stay in. It's too goofy for me; all the other fights the bits are at least vaguely plausible but with the stick fight, about halfway through both of them just have so many better choices I lose my suspension of disbelief.
The Sheriff in the final fight, though, is criminally underappreciated. Being that ridiculous in a fight is really hard, and the actor totally sells it.
Suspension of disbelief? In a movie where his castle is repossessed on wheels and he uses a guided “patriot arrow” in the archery contest?
@@Xadov I know, I know. But all those bits are good choices inside the ridiculous narrative space the movie sits in, and the stick fight isn't, at least in my head.
I just finished reading your book, "Just Stab me Now". What an excellent and enjoyable tale. I enjoyed your unique style of author conversing with her characters. Fun, lighthearted adventure with mystery, suspense & romance. I look forward to your next writing endeavor Ms. Bearup. Thank you! Pete Burghardt
Blazing Saddles is brilliant.
Anyone else read that title and instantly flashback to Daffy Duck and his merry quarter staff?
"Actually, it's a buck-and-a-quarter staff. But that's not important now."
@@BillPeschel I'm having a bloody awful day and you've no idea how much that's brightened things up!
@@smiddlehurst1 Sorry about your day. I hope it passes. Maybe go watch some more Merrie Melodies.
@@BillPeschel ... Actually, it's a buck-and-a-quarter quarter staff, but I'm not telling HIM that! 😂
Yoicks! And Away!
My favourite scene is the glove slap scene. Returning the slap with a gauntlet and the sheriff "inviting" the guards to fight on his side of a mano-a-mano fight.😂
I didn't know the shadow puppets were an homage to the shadows of that first film. Lovely
You need to see Blazing Saddles. That's not negotiable, it's an imperative.
I loaned Just Stab Me Now to my sister and she read it in two days and loved it as much as I do. 😂 I love that we can giggle and nerd-out over bits of it together like we do with other media
Absolutely 100% recommend Blazing Saddles
Glad you included the staffs-to-sticks fight!
It makes me giggle every time, as does the scene where Robin is singing so loudly at Marian it blows her hair back. Such wonderful silliness. :)
Jill, "Robin Hood: Men In Tights" Is a parody movie. So it probably entered production pipeline around the same time 1991 Robin Hood movie came out. And it's a Mel Brook's Parody, so it's parodying the whole genre, not just one specific film. All of Mel Brooks films are parodies of the genres they're set in and not just one film:
- Spaceballs parodies all Space Sci-Fi movies, even though it's directly going after Star Wars.
- Robin Hood: Men in Tights is going up directly against the Kevin Costner 1991 Robin Hood movie, but also is going after everything from Erol Flynn to Daffy Duck.
- The Producers goes after musicals. (Can't remember what movie they're specifically parodying in that one.)
- Blazing Saddles is the odd duck that there isn't a movie they're directly parodying, but Mel Brooks wanted to make a western parody and the script (Story about a black sheriff in the wild west) was bouncing around Hollywood for a while, so why not.
The Producers was Brooks' first movie, so way before he started specializing in parodying movie genres. He'd been a comedian & TV comedy writer For years before, people would ask Brooks what his next project was and he'd joke that he was doing a musical called "Springtime for Hitler." The Producers came about as a way to explain how one could do a truly bad idea like a musical celebrating something horrendous.
Yes to Blazing Saddles just like everyone else, but also one aside. I always loved that the pill the witch offers to save the Sheriff's life was a lifesaver breath mint.
I'm so excited about the remastered Maid Marion and her Merry Men thank you for sharing!!!
excellent review of the fight scenes. Thank you for sharing.
Probably a repetitive post but…🤷🏻♂️…Blazing Saddles…yes! It’s that much of a classic.
I can recommend blazing saddles very funny and very clever
Agreed, it’s very good. Definitely worth a watch. Only one fight scene of note but it’s pretty silly.
Yesssss!!!! So glad you did this one!
This video covers so many of things I have loved in my life. Delightful breakdown video!
It always tickled me that Rottingham was revived with a lifesaver sweet
"Would you recommend watching Blazing Saddles?" Yes. Yes I would. :)
Blazing Saddles is, in my opinion, Mel Brook's best movie. It is absolutely silly and hilarious, and also has some surprisingly poignant scenes and commentary about racism that somehow still fit in perfectly with the rest of the very, very silly happenings.
Kudos for loving Maid Marian and her Merry men. Such a good show. Also Blazing Saddles is amazing.
Enjoy your vids. And bought the first book in the Bad series. Keep up the good work!
Absolutely watch Blazing Saddles
Now I want to see what you make of the Black Knight in _Monty Python and the Holy Grail._
Absolutely yes to Blazing Saddles! But also, I'm partway through "Just Stab Me Now" and oh my goodness Jill is it good! I already knew you were a great writer from the skits themselves, but the way you've expanded the both the fantasy and "real" worlds is absolutely brilliant!
Plus I haven't felt this breathless reading a romance since Iron Widow, and before that I had *never* felt this breathless reading romance (I usually get a better effect from watching romance than reading it). I'm rooting for everyone (except George and that Baron) and I can't wait to keep reading!
Thank you for including the link for the Maid Marian show. As soon as my husband and I saw the first clip we were invested, and then our interest was cemented with the introduction of the "Pancake Day" rap. 😂
Yes, watch Blazing Saddles!
You should watch blazing saddles, not for content but because it's a awesome film
Yeah, I'm not entirely sure how Blazing Saddles fits into Ms. Bearup's wheelhouse of stage fighting, but it is a funny movie on its own terms.
As always, I love how you work a solid critique of the fight elements within a storytelling effort into the slash and bash comments.
YES, Maid Marion and her Merry Men. Best adaptation ever and thank you for mentioning them. They are very under rated by everyone!
Blazing Saddles is one of the greatest comedies/satires of all time. Definitely worth a watch. No swords though, so you won't get much use out of it for the channel.
Make it a double feature, and watch Young Frankenstein/Blazing Saddles (Mr. Brooks one-two punch of nearly perfect movies back to back) , as a theatre/fencing person, you will have a sudden epiphany about many joke/references you have been missing ...basically forever.
Yes, Blazing Saddles! A great spoof the the western. Thanks for telling me about 'A Bad Time for Love.' I read and liked the previous two books in the series and didn't know the third was out.
Wow! I will watch all those movies over again with an expanded appreciation of the choreography and humor. You are deffinetly getting a thumbs up for this one. If only I could have enjoyed watching it as much as you clearly did making it!
Yes, I think you'd enjoy watching Blazing Saddles. Also I think it's worth noting that Mel Brooks has a tremendous love for the history and making of films. I know that for Young Frankenstein he actually pulled every existing prop and set piece from the original films he could get from the back lot for it. So if you're asking yourself, "was he referencing...?" the answer is probably yes.
Absolutely watch Blazing Saddles!
Also kind of a sideways nod to Robin Hood Daffy?
"HO, HAHA! TURN! PARRY! DODGE! SPIN! HA! THRUST--"
(smack!)
Cary Elwes apparently went through extensive sword fighting training for Princess Bride.
"reviews are love. Reviews are life. Reviews are why we don't get buried in the algorithm"
Blazing Saddles is so good
I am delighted that you have reviewed one of my favorites. Anything that Mel Brooks made is great fun.
Always love your analyses. Not the least because of my own interest and participation in stage combat.
This time it was a hoot, hearing your take on Men in Tights. And will eagerly look forward to checking out Tony's Maid Marion.
Keep up the good work. Looking forward to what next comes down the lane in our direction.
Yes. You should watch "Blazing Saddles".
Great video, as always.
As for Blazing Saddles, as a black woman I will tell you this, it is a RIOT!
Instant sub for Maid Marian and her Merry Men Remaster link thank you thank you thank you ❤
Always nice to see some appreciation for Maid Marian and her Merry Men! It's one of my favourite shows of my childhood and I'm very excited to check it out again thanks to that link you provided :D
(Oh also this video was good too XD)
Blazing Saddles yes!
As for marching vibes. You are absolutely right. The sheriff looks like a fool compared to Robin because of their vibes mismatch, and it’s great. Very well executed.
Blazing Saddles needs watched. Also can we take a moment to appreciate the fight between the post and Blinkin. Utterly amazing.
I've just briefly paused watching to say I was already enjoying the video and then you dropped the Princess Bride quote "Let me explain, no, there is too much, let me sum up" and now I'm subscribing. Kudos!
