08/27/09 - Robin Hood: Men in Tights
The standard story of Robin Hood: Evil Prince John is oppressing the people while good King Richard is away on the Crusades.

In this version, however, Mel Brooks adds his own personal touch, parodying traditional adventure films, romance films, and the whole idea of men running around the woods in tights.

Lucy, a young and psychotic Diclonius, manages to break free of her confines and brutally murder most of the guards in the laboratory, only to get shot in the head as she makes her escape. She survives and manages to drift along to a beach, where two teenagers named Kouta and Yuka discovers her.
