@@Lone-wolf-1982It's kind of more than just a parody of Robin Hood in general; it uses most of the plot of this movie as its own. It feels like Brooks kind of remade it in the style of old Robin Hood movies, like the one starring Errol Flynn, while "Prince of Thieves" tried to be a throwback to old swashbucklers like this while giving it a more contemporary feel (less clean and glamorous costumes, more Hollywood style dialogue, etc)

Reportedly, Costner wanted to do an English accent but the director refused because he couldn't pull one off convincingly. So throughout the movie anytime Costner became annoyed with the director, he'd start acting in accent. So anytime you hear Robin talk in something approaching an accent, Costner was angy. Also, it gave Cary Elwes the ability to say the killer line, "Unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent!"

The earliest recorded Robin Hood stories come from the early 15th century, but there's earlier references to the character dating to the 14th century. Whether or not he was a real person is something historians really have no clue about. In the earlier stories, Robin was not a nobleman, and the king was Edward, not John. The story was retconned in the 18th century as he became more popular among the aristocracy and they started producing stories which made him a bit more relatable to them. The stories also became more political making Robin Hood into a resistance figure whereas in the earlier stories he was just a bandit.

No.2 movie of 1991 and one of RH's great cinematic interations. Major shout-out for reacting to the extended cut (further plot/character pieces). This was Kevin Costner's next film after acclaim and awards including 7 Oscars for "Dances with Wolves" (1990). Great supporting cast at becoming the characters that are Robin's allies and enemies. Every piece of the film is as epic as it should. The film's song by Bryan Adams, "Everything I Do, I Do it For You" is among the greatest movie songs ever. A month before Prince of Thieves, there was another Robin Hood in the same year. An all British production, starred Patrick Bergin as Robin, Uma Thurman as Marian and directed by John Irvin. It went to television here in the U.S. while it was in theaters internationally (somewhat successful). Not only are their several films, But also several books and tv series of "The Hood". Before and after "Prince of Thieves", more historians have been studying more than the folk tale itself. That maybe he (Robertus Hood) and his exploits were real. The late Sean Connery's cameo in RH:PofT as King Richard, short but sweet. Much like 'Diamonds are Forever', his salary went to charity. He played an older Robin Hood in another classic, "Robin and Marian" (1976). The director of RH:P of T, Kevin Reynolds and Costner teamed up again for another masterpiece, "Waterworld" (1995).

sad to see the old tree...

Great Reaction as always, Jenn. Some facts from this movie. Alan Rickman turned down the role of the Sheriff twice before he was told he could more or less have carte blanche with his interpretation of the character. Cary Elwes (Robin Hood Men In Tights, The Princess Bride) was offered the role of Robin Hood, but turned it down because he thought the plot was too contrived. During an interview given on British television. Alan Rickman revealed that he had broken "about ten swords" in the sword fighting scene with Kevin Costner.

He was a master actor - I mean… as terrible as the Sheriff is when Mortiana tells him she is his mother… the total devastation in his face and eyes… somehow you actually feel sorry for him.

One of the best movie soundtracks of all time

Alen Rickman was amazing in this film. "I'll cut your heart out with a spoon."

I'm an Englishman and I couldn't give a toss about the American accents or the geographical inaccuracies in order to facilitate the beauty of Britain. Unfortunately some stupid vandal recently cut down the sycamore gap tree featured in the movie. This is the best robin hood movie ever put to screen. Sean Connery as King Richard, what a masterstroke of casting and concealing it from the opening credits. The additions of Azeem and Duncan add so much heart to the story. The score by Michael Kaimen is sublime. Excalibur (1981) is the best Arthurian legend put to screen.

Jen, Alan Rickman was originally from a town named Acton, West London. He was there at one time after filming Robin Hood. Two young brothers were trying to ask their mum if they could visit the local park, Alan overheard this. He then said to them all to go and have fun, by order of the Sheriff of Nottingham.

I love the music to this movie. I have A LOT of TV show and movie themes on my phone when I'm in the mood for just instrumentals - this is one of them.

As anyone British will probably tell you, it's mildly humorous that Robin lands near the white cliffs of Dover, and the next scene he and Asim are walking on the ruins of Hadrians wall at Sycamore gap - which is 400 miles away. Quick walker.

The music is by the late Michael Kamen, who really deserves to be as familiar a name as James Horner etc He scored Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Highlander, and a whole load of other memorable films - and the TV series Band of Brothers. In fact, some of the music in BoB is recognisable as a reworking of the Robin Hood theme...

I still remember watching this movie in the theater and when Sean Connery appeared the audience just erupted in cheers! One of the best cameos of all time!

The soundtrack of my teenage years ❤😊

The score to the film is amazing. I want more French horn!!!

I love the original movie with Errol Flynn and the BBC remake series from 2006

So happy to see you watch this - the soundtrack is one of my all-time favorites and I appreciate good soundtracks (as it seems you often do)!

This was the first movie I ever went back to watch a second time in the theater. There are so many great characters and iconic scenes (staff fight on the river, witch doing really gross prophesizing, the Maid Marian reveal, etc.), but come on... If we're being honest, Alan Rickman absolutely steals the show. The line when he's asked why he'd use a spoon and not an axe to cut out Robin Hood's heart and replies, "because it's dull, you twit; it'll hurt more" is one of the most memorable movie lines from my childhood. Alan Rickman has had so many iconic lines over the course of his career, but that's the one that go me. He was so evil in this, but was so entertaining doing it.

One of Robin's men who apprehended Marion and her maidservant was played by Jack Wild. Older people may remember him from the movie Olver, in which he played the Artful Dodger. And shortly thereafter, he starred in the children's television show H.R. Puf'n'Stuf.

- Connery was approached because Costner suggested it. Connery and Costner's film The Untouchables won Connery an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Also, Connery and Slater did a film called The Name of the Rose. Finally, Connery played Robin Hood as well in a film called Robin and Marian in the 1970s, with both characters aging remnants of their former selves. Marian was played by Audrey Hepburn in that film. He was paid $250K provided that his cameo was uncredited, and he donated the funds. - The character called Much, one of the Merry Men, was played by an actor named Jack Wild. By the time he made the film, he had had a very hard life of alcoholism and an inability to escape the one role he was known for. In the Academy Award-winning Best Picture "Oliver!", Jack Wild portrayed The Artful Dodger, nabbing an Oscar-nomination for Best Supporting Actor. He never escaped the role, and some of the crap that came with being a child actor of the time. he had finally become sober by the time he did Robin Hood. - The sword Azeem carries is a Scimitar, sometimes referred to as a Saracen sword. - Robin's father is one of the best English character actors ever...Brian Blessed. A well-known Shakespearean actor as well as a musical theater actor (he originated the role of Old Deuteronomy in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats), Blessed is perhaps best known for a film you have not yet done...the 1980 sci-fi camp classic Flash Gordon, as Prince Vultan of the Hawkmen. I think that you would get a big kick out of it, especially since its fun, and is the only other film with a score by Queen! He's also done several of Kenneth Branagh's films, and was Emperor Augustus Caesar in the legendary BBC drama I, Claudius in the 1970s (without his superb beard). - Nick Brimble (Little John) did another well loved film set in the Middle Ages. In A Knight's Tale, he plays Sir Ector, the knight that Heath Ledger's William Thatcher squires for. - Michael Wincott (Guy of Gisbourne) excelled as villains in the 1990s: The Crow (he played Top Dollar, the main villain) and The Three Musketeers (playing Rochefort) were two of his biggest hits. But the one role I loved him in was as record producer Paul Rothchild in Oliver Stone's The Doors, about the legendary rock band. Rothchild produced most of The Doors albums except their final one, L.A. Woman., and was a music legend.

Lol. I'll never forget seeing a guy in the row in front of me standing up and applauding when Connery appeared on screen as King Richard. Such a fun film, saw it a few times during it's theatrical run.

That Bryan Adams song is on my 90's playlist! 😎🎧

6:35 "Do those curvy swords have a name?" The one Azeem is carrying? Yeah. It's a scimitar.

"EVERYTHING I DO...I DO IT FOR YOU..." LOVE this movie!

The Disney fox Robin Hood was my first, too. 😊 Michael Kamen's another of the greats. They used the music from this as the Morgan Creek logo theme music for years after this. And this is one of those movies when I prefer the theatrical cut to the extended cut. 👍 Oh yeah, Connery played Robin in another version from the '70s, i think. It's called Robin and Marian.

This is one of Kamen's most iconic scores, and you can tell by how often it's used by other people. I've heard it constantly over the years. The opening titles over the tapestry is great, too.

So as a fun bit of trivia, this is half of the "Both of Superman's Dads are Robin Hood" meme. And when they made a toy of the treehouse, they just reused the mold of an old Ewok Village playset from the return of the Jedi toys.

Love that you waited for the song ❤

I feel like that "ROBIN!" at 39:32 is worthy of special mention. Epic, memorable scream.

"LIke, I'm Robin of Locksley, dude! Like, my archery skills are so rad!"

Great reaction! I love this movie beyond all reason. It's my second favorite Alan Rickman role. Some follow up suggestions: Now that you've seen Prince of Thieves, you absolutely need to watch Mel Brooks' Robin Hood: Men in Tights, an amazing parody of this movie. For more swashbuckling fun, Disney's The Three Musketeers and The Man in the Iron Mask For more Christian Slater, Kuffs (it's a little obscure, but SO much fun) or Heathers (the original Mean Girls, but darker) Hope you check them out! Cheers!

This was my favorite movie as a kid, I've seen it so many times.

The south-eastern coast of England is lined with high limestone cliffs. The famous port of Dover is located there, so they are called "The White Cliffs of Dover".

This was one of my favourites as a kid, the idea that an adventure and people lived in the woods like this always fascinated me as I live very close to Sherwood Forest. Iconic Brian Adams theme tune as well, it was a massive hit in the UK.

Oh wow didn't realise there was an extended cut of this - I thought I was going crazy seeing bits here I didn't remember as a kid lol. Turns out that back story stuff about the Witch's long game was cut and put back in a later edition

I just renewed my year-long Patron because I always watch the extended version with you first, then the KZread version. Listening to you and the Bryan Adams song at the end of the extended version was worth the price (a great price) of a one-time yearly Patreon membership. Bright Angel, Miss Jen, you bring so much joy to my wife and my life. Thanks for all you do. The music in this film is so good.

🏆 You and your wife have great taste. ♥

Great reaction Jen like always, love this movie. Robin Hood didn't rob from the rich and give to the poor, he robbed from the corrupt government and gave it back to the people who were unjustly taxed. A small distinction, but one that changes the entire narrative. Morgan Freeman's character in this film was based on a character who was developed in a (fantastic) British TV show called Robin of Sherwood. The creators of Prince of Thieves thought that this was part of the original legend and added it to their adaptation. In Robin of Sherwood, the character was originally not going to be a recurring character, but audiences responded so positively to him that he was part of it throughout the show's run. And The Sycamore Gap tree or Robin Hood tree, that famous tree is featuring in a that scene in this movie where Robin is shouting "Azeem the great one i am home" That tree won the 2016 England Tree of the Year award. It was felled in the early morning of 28 September 2023 in what Northumbria Police described as "an act of vandalism". The felling of the tree led to an outpouring of anger and sadness. Love the cameo of Sean Connery. Keep up the good work.

I worked for the guys who did the soundtrack/dialogue/sound for this movie and it was a MIRACLE that they were able to piece together this film from what they had. (Dialogue tracks from several different recording sessions - some with accents, others without - there wasnt the time/budget to bring back the actors to re-record any of it... so editors were forced the make-do with what they had. And it took months to piece it together.

Forgot how much I like that line "F*** me, he cleared it!"
