Oh my goodness. When my friend pushed me to watch Robin Hood Men in Tights I resisted with all my might. I'd seen previews of the movie and had no desire to see it. However, somehow I missed the part that it is a Mel Brooks film. That instantly changed my mind.

Except for maybe one other, I don't think I've ever laughed the entire way through a movie. Ever. This Movie was the exception. Oh my GOODNESS. If you like Young Frankenstein, hell, if you like Mel Brooks, this is a must see!

We bought this movie mainly for Men in Tights, and when we saw for only $5 more we could own Spaceballs as well, we jumped on it. Absolutely love Mel Brooks. And Cary Elwes is just spectacular, it's a shame he hasn't had more roles than he has. If you are a fan of Star Wars, Spaceballs is the best (heck you don't even have to be a fan of it, the movie is hilarious nonetheless) Of course the comedy is a bit crude, and there are some jokes in there I still don't quite understand, but anything by Mel Brooks is sheer genious!

These two movies are awesome! The jokes are timeless, though I will admit that these movies do show their age. I recommend these two movies if you haven't seen them yet even if you don't know anything about star wars you'll be laughing from start to finish with Spaceballs and Robin Hood Men in Tights is a great movie to have running in the background while doing chores. Just look up and something funny is bound to be happening. It's sad to say that they really don't make movies like this anymore. These are two classic comedies that will have people young and old laughing!

The movies themselves deserve more than 5 stars, however, the quality of the disk is lacking a bit. I haven't watched the Spaceballs feature, but I watched the special features and they worked just fine. The Men in Tights though, did not work as well. It skipped... a lot. I checked the disk over and over, and its clean as can be, so I'm not sure what the problem is, unless it's just a quality issue. I'm definitly sad about it and am just hoping Spaceballs will play without any problems.

Men In Tights w/ Spaceballs, what a combo package. I really do appreciate these multi film similar themed DVD combos, and as long as marketing continues with this sort of series, I will only be too happy to buy. The other reviewers state the content best, but this reviewer bought this item looking for Spaceballs, and found the double feature instead. Thanks. The quality was great, the selections outstanding, great extras, and easy to use dvd discs.
Spaceballs I liked because it is, of course, a pun on George Lucas's original Star Wars movies, and to me they are the greatest sci-fi films in history. The momentum of comedy sequences actually parallels with the non stop action of Star Wars, and at times (once again) I find myself believing the action no matter how comedic it is in Spaceballs. The effects are very good, and the altered premise of a flying RV actually works in place of the Falcon.
The characters of Luke & Han are actually rolled into one with Bill Pullman who looks like he is really into his character with John Candy splendidly as his space pal dog in guise of Chewbacca.
There are no John Williams mock overtures, and it is unecessary thankfully to distract from the comedy line, and outrageous twists. The sight gags are clever and inventive, even original and this only goes to show how wonderful Mel Brooks really is as director and star.
As for Men In Tights, I know this is a favored film of Mel's by his following, but Carey Elwes steals the show with his believable funny Robin Hood, as well as looks great in the role.

In 1996 my mum bought a revolutionary product, a VHS. I was 5 years-old when I watched for the first time this marvelous movie called "SPACEBALLS". And I remember laughting so hard that has simply indecent for a innocent girl that age.
Now, about "Men in Tights"... Probably best Brooks' movie ever made. No need no màs.

these films are what I like to call stupid comedy. It has funny adult humor mixed into regular humor where its the dumb things that make us laugh. the creator of this film(s) really made a great buck on these productions. I purchased it because it was a duo package which was great, and it was priced decently. I wouldnt have paid over ten bucks for each individual film.

My boyfriend found both films comedic and we did nearly die laughing. So i am happy with the price I paid and the amount of comedy in each film.

Men in Tights is more enjoyable than Spaceballs. I have other Mel Brooks movies: Blazing Saddles, History of the World part 1 which are on the same level as Men in Tights. My grandson & I were looking for History of the World part 2 & found Spaceballs in parenthesis to the side of History part 2 title. It wasn't done in the same format/comedy style as part 1 was but we did get through it.

I REALLY enjoyed these movies! Mel Brooks directed BOTH of them, and I believe he did a GREAT job of it! If you like goofy-type humor, (WITH some slapstick thrown in) among OTHER kinds, you'll ADORE these movies! They combined two of Mel's BEST movies, in this 'humor DVD' A MUST-HAVE for fans of 'Mel Brooks!

This is a great combo pack for two of Mel Brooks' greatest movies. Spaceballs is a funny spoof of Star Wars in the Mel Brooks fashion. Robin Hood Men In Tights is a Mel Brooks take on the story of Robin Hood. The two are great and this set gives a great way to add them to your collection.
