The thing about Costner's accent is it's a probably a closer accent to medieval England than the traditional accent we see in the UK today. Britons didn't really sound the way they do now until about the time of the Industrial Revolution. The "classic" British accent we associate with the UK was brought about by poor people that got rich during that time, and used the non-rhotic speech as a way to separate themselves from the lower classes. Then, the lower classes started adopting it, but through varying dialects, which includes Australia. Since Robin Hood was created in the 1300s, he would have spoken with an Early Modern English, what we would recognize today. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oZ2kjamizJi0oYk.htmlsi=okNcWMTHQx6pn6Uh If we were going with this film's time, he would have spoken with an accent that's probably a mix of Middle English and Early Modern English, which sounds more akin to Southern Appalachian English, to be honest. Middle English: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o7x3apqpubasZnk.htmlsi=6rSovA3y5Xh60RHB Appalachian English: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n655fcmTvs61dps.htmlsi=kpfMtCc42aWDsIRo Growing up in the Blue Ridge Mountains, I'm actually surprised at how well I can understand the Middle English dialect without reading the screen, as a lot of those pronunciations are still used today.

My first Kevin Costner film was Dances With Wolves which is a very different kind of epic than Robin Hood. Dance with Wolves is an epic tale of the wild west of the US and centers around a soldier who retires to the plains and his interactions with the Native Americans. It;s a long film but very beautiful. If you're looking for another Robin Hood, I will suggest, as so many have, Robin Hood: Men in Tights which as a spoof of this movie.

Depending on the version of the legend, Robin Hood is either from a wealthy noble background or is a commoner. The 1980s show Robin of Sherwood managed to feature both versions, with Sean Connery’s son Jason playing the wealthy version. That show was also, as far as I am aware, the first version to include a Moorish sidekick for Robin, though multiple other versions have repeated this over the years.

The use of Christian as an identifier for Robin in the opening scene is appropriate to distinguish the two sides battling in the crusades, Christian and Muslim, Morgan Freeman's character, being Muslim in this case.

One of my favorite funny lines in this movie is when Friar Tuck asks Azeem the leper, "Is this your finger?" I have the feeling that was adlibbed by the actor.

You are correct and Morgan Freeman was correct. As a Muslim, he would pray in the direction of Mecca. From England, he would face East. In Australia, he would face Northwest

The original Robin Hood, starring Errol Flynn, (1938) is a must see. YES, an arrow needs feathers (called fletching) at the end to keep it from tumbling end over end. The surname Fletcher comes from Old English for a person who made arrows.

Thanks for the video, nice to watch you reacting to this movie. I remember watching it in cinema. Loved it. What a blockbuster at that time. For that time really fast-paced and action-packed. Don't mind about the accents. Great cinematography, great balance between action and comedy. Still one of the very best Robin Hood movies around (Men In Tights is another). And what a cast. Alan Rickman is indeed absolute gold here. Well, isn't he always? But also Freeman, Slater, Michael McShane as Friar Tuck and Nick Brimble as Little John. And of course the cameo of Sean Connery. Successfully spoofed in Men In Tights with Patrick Stewart.

My dad took me to watch this one at the movies when i was like 12. One of the first more mature movies i saw in cinema and i loved it. And i remembered it just the way i initially received it and later on heard that it got a lot of not so great critics from the adults. I could not understand it, now, yes its a bit silly here and there. But it's an adventure story, not exactly for an adult audience, for teenagers, this is the perfect Robin Hood.

3:28 Among other criticisms of this movie, it *tragically* underused ***BRIAN BLESSED*** . If we could have had half a movie of him chewing the scenery along with Alan Rickman, this would’ve been a tremendous film. 7:45 The witch is played by Geraldine McEwan, who was more well-known for her stage work than movies or TV; she was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Royal National Theatre. 16:31 Actually, you do need the feather - it makes the arrow fly straighter and farther. 21:21 Odds are, doing a Caesarean in the forest would not be very healthy for the mother, but it’s not completely a modern invention. 24:12 They’re supposed to be Scotsmen. 27:24 I don’t know Arabic, but I think “Sadiq” must be the equivalent of the Hebrew “Tzaddik,” which means “righteous man.” I would heartily recommend that you go back and watch the 1938 “Adventures of Robin Hood” with Errol Flynn, Olivia de Haviland, Alan Hale, Basil Rathbone, and Claude Rains. One of the best swashbucklers ever made.

I don't think a movie has ever been rescued harder than Alan Rickman rescued this one. He knew he would have to chew scenery to be the most entertaining thing in this one. Sadly, that tree at Hadrian's wall in this movie was cut down recently by a hooligan. It was probably there for more than 300 years, and some little prick cut it down for fun.

I feel like people are too critical of Kevin Costner's accent in this. We wouldn't be able to understand a word if they actually spoke period correct English, which would've been early middle English, not modern English. Also, his character was in the middle east for years & it would've affected his accent anyway.
