Visible crew/equipment: When the Sheriff of Rottingham is hanging upside-down under his horse and talking to Robin, look at the legs of the "horse": one of them has the visible joint of the knee (obvious as the light hits it when it bends) and the other doesn't look like it's actually touching the ground at all, though from the angle it looks as though the leg was intended to be seen as weight-bearing.
Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Mel Brooks
Starring: Patrick Stewart, Cary Elwes, Dom DeLuise, Isaac Hayes, Amy Yasbeck, Richard Lewis, Roger Rees
Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: When Blinkin is falling out of his look-out post, he upsets the ladder. But when he hits the ground and is walking around there is no ladder.
Sheriff of Rottingham: I was angry at you before, Loxley. But now, I'm really pissed off.
Achoo: Pissed off? If I was that close to a horse's wiener I'd be worried about getting pissed on.
Trivia: The "magic pill" that Latrine offers the sheriff to save his life from the impalement is a Lifesaver candy (Polos in the UK).
Question: When Abbot is walking down the aisle at the wedding, everyone says "Good morrow Abbot", but one guys says "Hey Abbot!" and Abbot says "I hate that guy!" Is this a reference to something? I never got the joke.

Chosen answer: The scene is an homage to the late, great comedy team, Abbott and Costello. Bud Abbott was the straight man and Lou Costello was the goofy laugh-getter. Part of their act was Costello getting frustrated trying to understand Abbott and yelling "hey Abbott" at him.
