Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993)?

Patrick Stewart
plays King Richard talking in a thick Scottish accent, a reference to
Sean Connery
s performance in

Mel Brooks
). Technically, an English accent would have been no more appropriate than Sean Connerys Scottish accent and a French accent would have been best for Richard (and any other nobles of the time, possibly including Robin), as "English" did not yet exist as a language and English nobles spoke Anglo-Norman, a dialect of Old French, while the common folk spoke Old-English, an Anglo-Frisian tongue that has more in common with Old Norse than with Modern English.

A special swing had to be constructed for him to sit down during filming as he could not sit down on a regular chair once he was suited up because of the Aliens tail.

The gag about Robin being able to speak with an English accent is a reference to
Kevin Costner
s performance in
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
. Unfortunately viewers who saw both movies in a dubbed version couldnt get this gag. For the German dubbed version the gag was changed to: "because I - unlike some other Robin Hood - do not cost the producers 5 million". The German word "kosten" (cost) was also pronounced to sound a little bit like Costner. In the French (France) and Italian (Italy) dubbed versions, it is translated as, "Because unlike other Robin Hoods, I do not dance with the wolves", referring to another Kevin Costner movie
Dances with Wolves
. In Quebec, the translation becomes "Because unlike other Robin Hoods, I accept to wear tights," which refers to the fact that Costner didnt wear tights in the 1991 movie.

s face in

Young Frankenstein
.
