If you think the actor playing Guy of Gisborne (Michael Wincott) was scary in this one you may want to check him out as the main antagonist in out in "The Crow". It is good adaption of a goth comic released in 1994. It would also be a not too scary pick for Carly to kick-off your Scary October.

I love that you were singing "Robin Hood and Little John walking through the forest." You're adorable.

As an adult, I'm so impressed with what this movie did with so little, small sets, not "Lord of the Rings" size battles, just a good storey and great casting, musical score. tempo. I always enjoyed this movie.

Just so you know. That whole opening scene (in England) is filmed on Hadrians Wall - yeah he gets from Dover to the North of England instantly apparently 😁. Now, I just realised you might not know what that is but it’s the (still remaining - although not fully intact) Roman built wall across the middle of Britain (just south of the modern Scottish boarder). Given I went to Newcastle University (in the north east, and it literally has a “suburb”/town called Wallsend - which I lived in and they have a fully reconstructed section and a few bits that still exist even in a big modern city. However the place most people go to see the wall is exactly where they were filming. And that section where the tree is is a very famous picturesque section of the wall with that tree in between two hills. As I was so close I’ve walked long sections and I also Rock climb. And just the other side of the wall when he asks if “is there is no cursed sun in this country” is an excellent 30-50ft cliff for climbing. That’s actually why it was built there. The landscape naturally presents a formidable barrier. I understand that modern thinking is that it was more of a checkpoint with people (Romans) living north of the wall. In fact there are several amazing Roman Forts in the area and the best imho, Vindolanda, is just North of the wall (I think). But popular understanding is it was built to stop Celts (Scots) from raiding south. Even today excluding Glasgow & Edinburgh, the population density north of around that point drops significantly so it would never have made sense to “occupy” Britain all the way to the North Scottish coast. Then again - there’s significant evidence a major factor in building it was to give the army something to do lest they get up to stuff they shouldn’t be as the area needed to be garrisoned at the time but it was hardly the toughest posting a Roman soldier could get. It was started in 122AD during the reign of the Emperor Hadrian! Check it out in Wikipedia. Some of the pictures are amazing and I did sometimes catch myself thinking it was cool I studied Medicine right next to a World Heritage site 2000 years old you could go climb on and nobody would mind! Also - I know for a fact he pointed South/South West whilst saying East!

This was THE movie summer of ‘91. We all went to see it over and over. And Bryan Adams’ song was a huge hit. He was pretty successful before this movie, but afterward he was a household name. Same with Costner, come to think of it….

Yeah, I watched Prince of Thieves countless times as a kid, and when I discovered that there was an extended version as an adult I was blown away. I don't know that I'd recommend it to someone as their first viewing, as the theatrical version treating the witch's powers and relationship with the sheriff more ambiguously has its own benefits to the movie, keeping the audience in more suspense more regarding her and what to expect from her... but it definitely is worth checking out after watching the theatrical release. Certain bits with the sheriff that already work well are even better with the added context, and you can pick out details of Rickman's performance (and the witch's) that were definitely informed by the cut scenes. I don't think one version is better than the other, just different, and both versions are fantastic.

This movie was such a huge hit at the time, with an incredible score. I was a junior in high school the and in the marching/concert band (piccolo, if it matters)- we marched to the main theme and it always elicited cheers from the onlookers. We eventually got to travel to Orlando and march at the Magic Kingdom (where are my other Disney band nerds at, remember the "brown round-top door"?), it was the most exciting feeling in the world to come down Main Street, playing that score- all 200 of us. Even though we all got sick of playing and rehearsing the same music over and over, we never got sick of the Robin Hood music- it was always thrilling to play. This movie has such a special place in my heart for being very much of that time and creating those memories.

"Because it's dull, you twit! It'll hurt more!" RIP Alan Rickman. I sincerely miss this actor. And for the record, this movie was on all the time in the early to mid 90s. You couldn't get away from it.

My friend, if you think this movie is anywhere near 'realistic Middle Ages'... I don't even know what to tell you... The costumes, the architecture, the armour (let's not talk about the accents)... If THIS is what you consider Middle Ages, I weep for whatever country you live in.

There's a great story about Alan Rickman at a party where someone approached him for an autograph, he willingly agreed being the lovely man he was, but neither party had a pen on them. He was smarting from a less than favourable review, when he spied the Reviewer responsible across the room, he beckoned the man over, and went into full " Sheriff of Nottingham " mode, " This man will have a pen, he's a Critic ! " ....

Rewatching your reaction, I'm struck by what actually makes this movie great. It's the way every character feels like a real person. Fanny and Little John and their kids, Duncan, Friar Tuck, Will, Wulf, Azeem...every single character is a lived in character. It's not a perfect movie, but it is getting really close in my book.

Cassies reactions are just a wholesome shot of adorable in the arm

What Lies Beneath is perfect to watch for your level of scary. It's spooky, not scary! AND...Harrison Ford is in it 💖

100% agree! That's truly an excellent one, within the right level of scary, plus it has Harrison Ford AND Michelle Pfeiffer!

I have come to love this movie so much. It gets far more shit than it deserves. It's cheesy, it's very 90s, but it's a whole lot of fun and I love the cast and the characters and the music. It's exactly what I want out of a movie. Such a fun reaction to watch! I was practically squealing with you at times lmao

Where Robin rescues the boy, Wulf, from Guy of Gisborne’s men was filmed at Sycamore Gap by Hadrian’s Wall; The river scene where Robin fights Little John was filmed at Aysgarth Falls in the Yorkshire Dales; where Marian sees Robin bathing in the water was filmed at Hardraw Force also in the Yorkshire Dales; “Nottingham Castle” was actually filmed at the castle of Carcassonne in South West France (near Spanish border).

“Tremors” may be a scary/suspenseful monster movie you and your sister can handle. One of my fav of all time entertaining movies! 🍿

Funny monster movies would that be like Gremlins and Critters? Has she seen those? First Gremlins might be a bit more scary than the rest. Critters I think it's low budget enough to not be so scared? maybe?

Things maybe on the level of Ghostbusters? Killer Klowns from Outer Space might be a bit too much if you don't like clowns. Ghoulies I don't remember but it was a bit too creepy? The one for me though would be The Gate(1987) as it builds up to it perfectly. Maybe a bit slow and a few bad moments without getting to far into creature stuff before it takes off near the end. From what I remember. Been ages.

"Cancel Christmas!" ".... and bring a friend!" "I'm gonna cut your heart out with a spoon" Brilliant baddy lines!

I managed to watch the director's cut for the first time a few years ago when it was free on Prime. It explains the "witch" mom so much better, and has some more scenes with the Sheriff. Recommend it. I thought I'd remember more of the lines from the billion times I watched this as a teen, but I didn't. I did however remember Azeem's speech on the wall word for word. It's so good! Interesting fact: Robin Hood was originally said to be of the yeoman or servant class, not a lord.

Alfred Hitchcock is a pretty good choice for "scary but not too scary." His films aren't quite the modern definition of "scary" but are more old-school psychological thrillers... which still make for good October viewing. A couple of my favorites are Rebecca (1940) and Veritgo (1958)

Brian Blessed is a treasure to the human race. He was epic in The Black Adder and Flash Gordon. It's said that at the end of time, his mouth will swallow the universe.

STRIKE!!!!

Watched this in the theater at the time and when King Richard (Sean Connery) made his appearance everyone erupted clapping and cheering because he also played the role of Robin Hood.

I forgot how good this movie is.. I was 14 when was released. It was fun to rewatched.

I forgot how much I loved that movie even though critics weren't that kind to it. And Sean Connery in there. Cool! And Alan Rickman. "Because it's dull you twit, it'll hurt more." always loved that line.

Thank you so much for reacting to this movie!!! Your joy from it has truly made my day!!! I was 19 years old when this came out, and it was ICONIC!!!! It has that unique quality of having glaring flaws, and yet, being virtually perfect, at the same time! The main theme and score by Michael Kamen; the scenery; the unique voice and presence of Michael Wincott as Guy of Gisborne; Morgan Freeman's Azeem; the beautiful Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio; and even Kevin Costner's horrible English accent (or lack thereof) were all just perfect for this film!! And, of course, I dare not neglect to celebrate Alan Rickman just chewing up the scenery as the most deliciously evil Sheriff!!! I've lost count how many times I've watched this movie, especially back in the day! There was a time when I could quote this movie line for line, and, even still, I get more than I miss!! Again, thank you!!!

Even if Kevin Costner used an Italian accent it wouldn't have bothered me at all it's entertainment not a documentary!! The characters, the story and the humour are what makes the movie. Highlighting an accent is just nit picking and unnecessary.

"Because it's dull you twit, it'll hurt more!" May absolute favorite line to impersonate! 🤣

17:46 CASSIE: "Montage. Montage!" That reminds me of TEAM AMERICA: "Montage! You gotta have a Montage!"

I'm pretty sure from what I've seen that this is the theatrical cut. There is an extended cut that adds some interesting turns in the story. The biggest being that the witch who is acting like she's some kid of fortune teller and advisor to Nottingham in this cut turns out to be Nottingham's mother. Her seeing of the future is a bunch of theatre as well. In the other version there's a hole in the wall which she spies on Nottingham in his home. So when he goes downstairs and she pretends to do some kind of spell to see what's going on she's actually just repeating the things she overheard and making it seem like it came to her through a spell. I actually quite like that touch. It makes her much more interesting. Especially when you consider that everything she's done is to get Nottingham to try and topple the throne so she can go live there and take what she thinks is owed her.

When I saw this movie in the theatre, the audience reacted to the action sequences exactly the same way audiences today react to Marvel movies.

As a Canadian like me, I know you're beaming with pride over the theme song for this movie. Bryan Adams' "Everything I do" ( I do it for you) was such a monster hit.

@@blakefish80 I initially thought that was the record I was thinking of, but that was only on the charts for four weeks. I think it was Wet Wet Wet that pulled the track, not Bryan Adams. It happened in the same year. While the singles charts of the 1990's weren't the same volume as the early and mid 80's it was still 6 digit sales and radio plays per WEEK! Without the internet. It was crazy. Sadly most artists were screwed over by their label and or management. I think Boy George & Culture Club was nixed due to their presentation in videos instead of highlighting the amazing voice and fun they had as a band playing together.

The Bryan Adams song just tops it all off too. (Everything I Do) I Do It For You was number one seemingly forever here in the UK whilst I was growing up. 😁

I thought of this one as well. The beginning is a little too much but after you come to terms with that part the rest of the movie isnt that bad, or doesnt push the threshold Cassie was talking about.

Not only is it my favorite Robin Hood movie, but one of my favorite movies period

My 13 year old self loved this movie. We had it on VHS and I must have watched it 20 times. Great reaction, and it brought back a lot of memories. Thanks

When Cassie said 8 babies?! Yea she can fight. I literally spat my drink all on my front, that was so funny

Just some really great scenes all in a row. Azeem with the inquisitive child and then immediately scolded by friar tuck highlighting that prejudice is taught. Marion falling for Robin as he talks of love and a family. Also a great insight that nobility is not a birthright but defined by one's actions. Azeem truly is a great one for delivering Fanny's baby and the plea of forgiveness from Friar Tuck. Marion agreeing to Robin's two favours and the scene ending with Duncan saying " I am blind but some things I can still see"

Just want to say I discovered your channel just recently and have been devouring your reaction videos. It's like experiencing this classic movies from new again. I really envy you. Keep up the good work x

As a nottingham native and brought up on the legends, been to the graves, been to the caves, regularly went by the castle and sherwood, the disney and this movie are my favorite by far. The story is so beautifully told in this rendition ❤

I would love to see you two watch Fright Night (1985) as it is a great classic horror movie; scary, funny, sexy and a bit of gore.

Alan Rickman selling the line "cut out his heart with a spoon", he really knew how to play an evil character well. If you where around 1991 the Bryan Adam theme song from this movie was top of the charts for 16 weeks (UK), people where sick of it in the end LOL.

Bad ass movie, even the side characters have their moments to shine. Great writing back in the days

The American accent Robin Hood is so chefs kiss.

I'm glad you loved it! It's another of my favorites! Alan Rickman was absolutely outstanding in this but I loved the entire cast. The theme, Everything I Do I Do For You is mine and my husband's song too so it's extra special to us. 💜

I think you and Carly would like "The Frighteners" starring Michael J. Fox. It's a comedy-fantasy-horror-drama directed by Peter Jackson shortly before the Lord of the Rings.

"You can't tell me, it's not worth trying for Just can't help it, there's nothing I want more Oh, I would fight for you, yeah, I'd lie for you Walk the wire for you, yeah, I'd die for you You know it's true, everything I do, I do for you..."

I’ve seen many people make fun of this movie, I’m happy to see someone finally seem to get it
