Throbbin Hood

About This Movie

Throbbin Hood is this quirky little comedy from '87 that really embraces its offbeat charm. The premise is pretty simple: two office workers, decked out in their Robin Hood and Maid Marion getups, decide to take on their corrupt bosses at a company costume party. It’s got this zany, low-budget vibe, and the pacing feels a bit erratic, which oddly adds to its charm. There's a playful absurdity to the whole thing, and the performances have this earnestness that makes it oddly endearing. Practical effects are minimal, but there’s something delightful about the way they approach the heist angle—almost like a slapstick version of corporate espionage. Definitely one of those curiosities that captures the spirit of the era.

Throbbin Hood has a bit of a niche following among collectors for its sheer oddity and the laid-back humor that defined many comedies of the late '80s. It’s not the easiest film to find on physical media, which speaks to its limited releases over the years. There’s a certain charm in its DIY aesthetic that appeals to collectors who appreciate offbeat cinema. While it may not be everyone's cup of tea, those who dig it often seek out vintage tapes or DVDs for their collections.
