Robin Hood Men in Tights - a spoof movie that does just enough 4th wall breaking and references, while keeping the story and musical score stable enough to keep engaging

Robin Hood Men in Tights uses 4th wall breaking and references just enough.Excellent examples of some of the 4th Wall Breaking• Slow zoom in to Maid Marian's window resulting in a later shot where a camera breaks through the window• Teamsters eating donuts and drinking coffee during the sword fight between Robin Hood and Rottingham• Exit sign above a doorway in the castle• Robin taking out a script after losing the archery contestFor spoof movies movies, if it's too reference-heavy it can kind of take you out of following the actual story. I will also attribute the film's use of an original score that allows it to feel like a "real movie"Cultural references at that time (1993): Malcolm X, snapbacks, Home Alone, "the club" steering wheel lock, faxing, Arseno Hall (woot woot woot) via /r/movies https://ift.tt/38yqmlv
