Mel Brooks roasting medieval England before it was cool—hosted by the Dread Pirate Roberts himself.
Hosted by Cary Elwes. It's a promotional piece that was intended to get the word out about the film while it was in production, but some of the behind the scenes material that appears here is amusing
Acting
Cary Elwes charming the camera with barely contained glee.
Production
Peak 90s EPK chaos—raw, silly, unpolished.
Writing
Brooks' improvised burns on his own budget.
Director
Victor Davis
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This EPK was shot while the film was still in production, making it a rare time capsule of Brooks' process before final edits. Elwes had just come off Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, making his casting and hosting here a deliberate middle finger to Kevin Costner.
Men in Tights bombed theatrically but became a VHS dorm room staple—this promo accidentally predicted its second life as ironic cult comfort food.
