Now you are legally obliged to watch "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" as well 😁

Fun fact Sean Connery was paid $250.000 for his cameo but gave it all to a Scottish hospital charity.

"Here's thirty pieces of silver so that you can pay the devil on your way to Hell!" That's a baller line right there.

Sean Connery did indeed "pop in." They wanted him to have a larger role, but they could only get him for 2 days of filming. Kevin Costner did try an English accent, but according to the director, it was so bad he was like "Yeah, don't bother."

I watched this one sooo many times as a kid, but I still get chills when Marion screams “ROBIIIINNN!!”

Azim: "You whine like a mule, but you are still alive." So funny.

Fun Fact, my family ran Nottingham Castle. We are fond of spoons... 😁

Alan Rickman was the highlight of this movie, he stole every scene he was in and as a fellow Canadian myself, I loved when (Everything I do) I do it for you by Bryan Adams started playing.

In answer to your unanswered questions, Jen: The White Cliffs of Dover, and the sword was a Scimitar. This is one of my all-time favorite movies.

Michael Wincott (Guy of Gisborne) is also in another extremely 90s property with a theme song sung (partly) by Bryan Adams - The Three Musketeers, with Tim Curry, Keifer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen, and Chris O'Donnell

"F*ck me, E cleared it!" Always makes me laugh still.

The White Cliffs of Dover, Jen. The British side at the narrowest point of the English Channel, opposite Calais. The solitary tree in the Sycamore Gap was felled by vandals last year for reasons unknown, fortunately some seeds were recovered with a plan to replant.

an american playing a English lord with american accent, with a scottsman playing a english king who should have a french accent (king richard live most his life in france) Still love this version of Robin Hood

Of course, you need to see “The Adventures of Robin Hood” with Errol Flynn (1938). It is the prototype, in color, and probably the best known.

Jen: "Push him out the window just in case!" You're a treat, Jen!

My mom and stepdad had their wedding song to this soundtrack... 90's man.

Every one knows the best Robin Hood story is The Adventures of Robin Hood 1938. In glorious Technicolor. Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland. True classic.

Have to echo another comment, I absolutely love the line "I'm gonna cut your heart out with a spoon!" I must admit to years of saying it and I've got it mastered 😂

“ The Canadian government has apologized for Bryan Adams on several occasions… “ 🤣

Alan Rickman clearly had a lot of fun playing the sheriff.

Azeem's weapon of choice is a scimitar. In 1991, I'd been playing D&D for over 9 years, so I knew it right away. So many great quotes from this film that I still carry over 30 years later. Not to mention that 1991 was a very significant year for me personally and professionally. So much nostalgia!

People complain about the lack of English accent, well if you want accuracy, everyone should be speaking Middle English.

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. The three musketeers 1973 and it's 1974 sequel the four musketeers is still the best version of those tales.

This film was my sister's first look at the actor, Alan Rickman, she's been in love ever since ❤ I'm always here, but I'll definitely let her know that you're reacting to this one Jen. Once again excellent choice! 😊...Eric

Thanks Jen, I have a new phrase for when something goes wrong. To quote you "Oh Frig, Oh Crap Oh No!" 😄

Wow, Jen. Can't believe this is your first Costner content on the channel. We definitely need more. Some of my favorites: The Untouchables Dances with Wolves Field of Dreams Open Range 👍💯

I loved it when Frier Tuck cast that greedy materialistic Priest out the window.

My favorite "live action" version of the Robin Hood tale. The 1973 Disney film being the animated favorite of mine. I recently rewatched this exactly two months ago when Canada left it's gate open and their weather had wandered way down here into my backyard. Couldn't go anywhere for over a week all the roads were iced over.

Will Scarlet knew exactly who Robin was. Robin forced Will's father to drive Will and his mother away.

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).

The actor who played the friar also played the hypnotist who died while treating the guy in Office Space.

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.

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

This was a nice enough movie, but for me, the best thing about it is that you can now watch the Mel Brooks parody - Robin Hood: Men In Tights, and get the parallels.

The banter in the Disney Robin Hood is top-tier. It's funny, fast paced and family friendly. Genuinely worth a watch even now.

I still own the VHS of this movie and during the end credits when the Bryan Adams song is playing there's actually a music video playing along with it, and it's great

One of the best movie soundtracks of all time

Another villainous masterpiece by Alan Rickman. He was really good doing that in Quigley Down Under

"Reeking Robin" LMAO! Best quote of the reaction!!!!

Some kid recently just cut down that tree in the beginning of the movie when they get off the boat, that the kid runs up...

sad to see the old tree...

Locksley I'll cut your heart out with a spoon. So many great lines in this film 😂

The tree they stopped by, when they just got back to England, was recently cut down by vandals. It had stood there for better part of a millenium.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you're gonna love the score on this one, Miss Jen! 🎶

Want to hear a neat bit of trivia? The guy that played Friar Tuck is the dude that hypnotizes Peter in Office Space. I love these actors that are so good, people don't recognize them.

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.

Now you're ready for "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" by Mel Brooks. One person that was left out was Prince John. He was the main 'bad guy' and the sheriff was his major goon in the legends.

Alan Rickman literally stole the show - all the most hilarious and memorable lines “cancel Christmas… with a spoon… and bring a friend” are his. He did not like his role in this very much so he “rewrote” his lines with the help of some comedian friends and man did it wrk. 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.

Those are the White Cliffs of Dover in England

Alan Rickman was hospitalized for carrying the massive amount of weight in the film.

[EVERYTHING I DO ] I do it for you , by Bryan Adams . Was the theme song for this film, and the song was NO 1 in the UK charts for 16 weeks , it sold nearly 2million copies , we were sick to death of this song in 1991.

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.

"Where is this" that is the white cliffs of Dover in the south coast of England Jen. When Robin lands in England and the kud climbs the tree, thats the famous Sycamore gap tree. Its situated in the gap of Hadrians wall (built to keep us Scots in!) Its been in a lot of gilms and was recently chopped down for no reason by vandals

I have that Bryan Adams song etched into my memory forever. When we were kids my older sister would record the number 1 song each week off the radio on cassette tapes. Everything I Do was number 1 for 16 consecutive weeks in the UK so this song was played in our house more times than hot dinners I had eaten up to that point of my life.

Thanks jen. A personal favourite . You know robin hood is the oldest story in the English language. First written down .

I love that Costner was just like “nah…not doing an accent. This Robin Hood is from Iowa” Lol

“He’s a moor?” Yes… moor or less! 🤔😜🤣🤣🤣 I’ll get my coat… 😳

The easter egg at the end was that Sean Connery also played Robin Hood in the movie "Robin and Miriam."

You have to love when Jen uses words like "wankers" and "bollocks". It's so charming. :D

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.

I love everything about this movie except the fact that Kevin didn’t even try to do an accent, it’s basically Kevin Costner thrown back in time or into a very intense ren faire, everyone else in this movie is fantastic. Especially Alan “With a spoon” Rickman.

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!

You should check out “Clean and Sober” and “Lean On Me”. Those are two roles that pretty much elevated Morgan Freeman from an actor in the TV Movie of the Week and onto the path to acolades. The former is also some rare serious work from relatively early in Michael Keaton’s career.

Jen's face as she saw the (fake) Lady Marian :lol:

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.

GOOD Afternoon Jen💝and I made sure to be here "Early" for this one! (LOL) I still say that this is the BEST Robin Hood Movie that's ever been made👍it was also the first thing I'd ever seen with Kevin Costner or Morgan Freeman🥰and I've been a BIG Fan of Them-Both ever since!!✌ Btw Jen, since You'd mentioned having Bryan Adams' Music stuck in Your head😉I've got a Perfect Recommendation for You: "The Three Musketeers" from 1993! Both Movies are surprisingly similar, right down to another Song performed by Bryan Adams, "All For Love!"👈Wait until You hear this Epic Masterpiece!!!👌

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.

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.

Fun fact: Brian Blessed not only played Robin's father, but he also played Vultan in the movie Flash Gordon.

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

Don't forget,Jen,there are TWO stories of Robin Hood:1 where he comes for a rich background,another when he comes from a poor background (obviously they've gone for the former here)🎩

Fun fact....leading up to Nottingham castle from Market Square is... Friars Lane, which crosses Maid Marian Way. Myself and two responce officers received a Divisional Commander's Commendation for apprehending a man who entered a mobile phone store with a knife, terrorized the employee, and robbed the place. The apprehension was on Maid Marian Way. One last thing, and I'll shut up...the main drag on my beat was Forest Road. Anybody from Nottm knows that yes...I was in the vice unit. Can you all tell, Jenny got me homesick?

You are making me happyyyyy with your movie choices Jen, thank you!

I'm continuously baffled by people and their taste in music and movies...this film is fantastic. The performances are incredible, missing accent or not.

As a lover of movie music, I am gonna guess that you LOVE the music for this film, Jen. Its definitely one of my all time favourites. I especially love the use of the French Horns 🙂

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

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

I both love and hate this film. I was stuck in hospital as a kid recovering from major surgery, the TV on the ward didn't have any signal and only one VHS tape. This film was all we could watch, every day, for two long months. Even though I had my Gameboy, this was always playing in the background slowly driving everyone mad. I still watch it whenever it's on TV but it reminds me of a terrible time.

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.

The most amazing thing happened first run in theaters. Sean Connery's appearance at the end was truly a surprise, he was not publicised and he is actually uncredited. During the first few weeks of its run audiences actually kept the secret for the benefit of subsequent viewers.

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

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...

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.

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.

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

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

It's extremely fitting that Sean Connery makes a cameo as King Richard in this movie, as he actually played Robin Hood in the 1976 movie Robin & Marian, opposite Katherine Hepburn as Marian.

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)!

Fact: Brian Blessed, the actor that plays Robin Hood’s father, also voiced Boss Nass, the king of the Gungans, in Star Wars 1: The Phantom Menace.

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!

DANIEL PEACOCK the man who shouts ROBIN YOU'VE GOT VISITOR'S is a bit acting God he was in this and the jewel of the nile, I bought a vampire motorcycle and only fools and horses he left acting to be a carer at a old folks home

This film reminds me of my childhood, but in the way that a fever reminds you of inevitable desolation.

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

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.

Definitely one of my favorite movies of all time...I remember being enthralled with the arrow making process as a kid

Aww, I forgot the scene on the wall by the tree with Robin asking if Azeem named himself was in this. That was the Sycamore Gap Tree aka the Robin Hood Tree and the wall is Hadrian's Wall. It was about 150 years old when a couple of assholes cut it down, not only killing the tree but damaging Hadrian's Wall. Some seedlings were made from the genetic material from the original tree and they just sprouted a couple of weeks ago.

The awesome Brian Blessed of both Doctor Who and Flash Gordon fame plays Locksley, Robin's dad in a short by sweet cameo. Just another reason to love this film!
