YES, I had the Men of Sherwood come save my protagonists in my last manuscript (except they were descendants of Morgan Le Fay and led by a hot college chick, but that's another story). <br /><br />And, just by coincidence, my husband and I had an argument last night over whether to show our daughters Robin Hood, King of Thieves, with Kevin Costner or Robin Hood, Men in Tights. I argued that they couldn't fully appreciate the spoof without seeing the movie that was being spoofed.<br /><br />I lost the argument.<br /><br />And I might be the only person on earth who actually LIKED Kevin Costner's Robin Hood. (Yes, I know he didn't speak with an English accent. So sue me.)Dianne K.
