Released in 1993, Mel Brooks' 'Robin Hood: Men in Tights' put a satirical spin on the classic tale of Robin Hood, a man who, along with his merry band of misfits, robs from the rich and gives to the poor in defiance of the cruel Prince John. The riotous spoof featured a charming ensemble cast, including Cary Elwes as Robin Hood and a young Dave Chappelle as one of his sidekicks, and although critics didn't love the film as much as Brooks' earlier works, it quickly gained a cult following. 21 years later, we revisit the cast of this comedy classic and see what they're up to now.
