There was a rich man from Nottingham who tried to cross a river. What a dope. He tripped on a rope. Now look at him shiver.

If you love Alan Rickman and haven't seen Galaxy Quest... you must see Galaxy Quest.

This movie was absolutely huge when it came out and the song that played during the credits (the Bryan Adams song “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You” which was also used as a theme in the score during the movie) was the number one song of the whole year (it spent 16 weeks uninterrupted at number one in the UK and to this day is the UK’s longest uninterrupted number one running song on the UK Singles Chart; globally, it’s one of the best-selling singles of all time) and they used clips of the movie in the music video, further advertising the movie. If not for Terminator 2 being one of the most anticipated, advertised/hyped, and, as it turns out, best sequels of all time, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves would’ve been the number one movie of the year easily. I understand how surprising that might seem for those who didn’t live through it, particularly sine T2 is discussed so much more all these decades later, but it was so big that it spawned a Mel Brooks parody film (Men In Tights), so it was indeed a big film.

Bit of Trivia for you: When they were pitching this film to Alan Rickman he had 1 condition. "He was allowed to play the Sheriff in the manner he wanted, all the time." He, a comedian and a playwright, re-wrote almost all of the Sheriff's lines. As a result this film is amazingly quotable.

"Dances With Wolves" is a masterpiece. That should be a must watch. Personally I recommend the extended cut if you do. There is some stunning extra scenes and some context that is brought back that was lost in the regular version. Edit: "Last of the Mohicans" is another must see masterpiece as well.

"Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas."

I love how you unknowingly predicted the Sheriff of Nottingham's demise, stabbed with his own dagger.

"I cut you're heart out with a SPOON!!" He sayd that with so much passion that I somehow really wanted to see that. 😂 Loved your reaction. ❤

Magnificent performance from Alan Rickman💚

I highly recommend watching Robin Hood Men in Tights after this if you haven’t seen it already. It is pure genius but best appreciated with this fresh in your mind!

This must be an extended version I've never seen. I don't recognize a couple of those scenes, and I've seen this film several times.Didn't even know there was an extended version. Alan Rickman was a real treasure. You need to see him in a variety of roles. He's always great as a villain (which was how he was cast a lot in his early career). Die Hard & Robin Hood, of course, but also check out Quigley Down Under (1990). With the other two movies, it is his Baddie Trifecta. But also see him in pure comedies Galaxy Quest (one of the best), and Bottle Shock (one of my personal favorites). Also, check out Sense and Sensibility (1995), The Butler (2013-smaller role in that one but a great movie). Many people reccomend Love Actually, but I never considered it that good of a movie. He provided voice work for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland and 2005's Hichhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. He appeared in supporting roles in a number of good films (Perfume, Eye in the Sky, Sweeny Todd, and Dogma to name a few) and was a major actor in some lesser (or at least less well known) movies. Of course, he's also in the Harry Potter series. I'd definitely check out Quigley Down Under, Galaxy Quest, Bottle Shock, and Sense & Sensibility.

My family had a van with a VHS player in it when I was a kid and we only owned like this movie and a Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen movie on VHS. So every time we went on vacation we watched this movie like 20 times on a loop.

General rule of thumb: villains tend to upstage the heroes.

I love this movie,I don't care about the no accent with Kevin Costner. The highlight is by far Alan Rickman,his performance is top notch.

Dances with Wolves & Field of Dreams are both absolute musts

The “glumsy” fight scene in this movie is in stark contrast to the heavily choreographed version in The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) where Robin’s opponent, Guy of Gisbourne, is played by Basil Rathbone - an actual fencing champion. Robin is also featured in Ivanhoe (1982) - a story that George R. R. Martin took plenty of inspiration from for the Great Tourney at Harrenhal part of ASOIAF - and a movie that I watch half-awake every January 1st.

I'd LOVE to see her watch The 3 Musketeers! The Keifer Sullivan/Charlie Sheen version, with Tim Curry!

I saw this before I watched Die Hard, and this was the movie that made Alan Rickman into my favourite actor. So much great dialogue, as well as perfect delivery. "Because it's dull you twit, it'll hurt more."

Dances with Wolves is a must see. You have to do that one soon !! Keep it Up I love your reactions!!

"Is this Sherwood Forest?" "No... It's Iowa."

Mary Elizabeth's "Robin" is a top 10 movie scream for sure.

I love Rickman as the bad guy, of course, but he's also amazing in Galaxy Quest and Love Actually, where he's not the bad guy.

Knowing how much you like Alan Rickman was the biggest reason why I was hoping you would watch this movie. He's my favorite character in this movie.

I remember waiting for this movie three weeks after its release and watch it at the $1 theatre. It more entertaining than I expected. Kevin's attempt at an accent didn't last long. He is truly the John Wayne of my generation. He plays one character all the time. I mean, John Wayne played Genghis Khan and still sounded like John Wayne.

One of my faves. I must have watched it 100 times as a kid. I had the action figures and everything.

This film was so big in its time, it even had its own toyline and action figures. Oh so I’d wished I bought the toys, I would’ve been a thousand-aire!😊

Alan Rickman is Legend. Very first movie I remember seeing him in is Diehard but really all his movies are amazing. Really hard to pick a favorite he was such a talented actor💔

Great reaction/review and the humor of the movie helped show off your amazing smile so well!

A little irony because at 6.36 the soldier is about to cut down the tree which is a famous tree as it sits alone on Hadrian's Wall [Roman] last year it was cut down by a couple of fools for no reason, with much debate as to how to regrow the tree .

Alan Rickman's character here is just so deliciously evil, he goes from serious bad guy, to stupid camp bad guy, but then comes out the end as AMAZING camp bad guy - like a Batman 19060s villain.

21:30 remember the times - this was literally during The Crusades - England has gone to war against the "barbarians" that Aseem represents. It's a holy war - a religious war - which is why Friar Tuck is so (at first) angry.

Rickman is great in this. My wife and I regularly reference "Something vexes thee?" and "I'll cut your heart out with a spoon!". Great, now you can watch the satire of this film Robin Hood: Men In Tights! I think you will appreciate a couple of specific jokes in it. Best to watch it while this film is fresh. Another HUGE vote for Galaxy Quest.. an excellent movie all round, one of my all time favorites. It is favored as not only one of the best Star Trek satire films, but often make the list of Best Star Trek Films. ST viewing is not required, just the knowledge that fandoms exist, there were off screen ego tensions. though I certainly wouldn't mind a few ST reactions (original movies first). BTW this film is worth re watching from a cinematography point of view. They had immense issues with lighting and weather... one of the most challenging shoots ever. If memory serves, the line about 'no sun in this country' was added with their frustration in mind. Remember, it was all shot on film, so the ability to fix poorly lit shots in post was fairly limited. The film they shoot with also has very little latitude for under/over exposure so they had to get it right. The era of cgi and digital unfortunately means older movies don't get the technical credit they deserve

Prepare for the inspiration for Mel Brooks' "Robin Hood: Men In Tights"! Costner's definitely the most American-sounding Robin Hood! 😂

An absolute classic Robin Hood film is 1938's "The Adventures of Robin Hood" with Errol Flynn, Olivia De Havilland, and Basil Rathbone.

Alan Rickman worked with Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio in The January Man (1989) Alan Rickman was also brilliant in Galaxy Quest, Quigley Down Under, and Potter series I recommend Errol Flynn as Robin Hood for a better portrayal to be followed up by Mel Brooks Robin Hood : Men in Tights Sean Connery portrayed an older Robin Hood before this was made called Robin and Marian

Aside from not having an accent, I think that Kevin Costner did a decent job in this movie.

30:24 and that is the movie poster. One of my favorite shots in cinema.

I absolutely love this movie. I grew up with it as a kid or was a kid when it came out and watched it way too many times. It's a classic 90's action/love type of movie as you mentioned in the summary at the end. Interesting you mentioned about Kevin Costner and his lack of accent, guess that was brought up by critics too considering the setting and well he goes in and out of having an English accent. I loved the reaction to it. I can easily see how someone can watch this and just enjoy it and laugh as there are a lot of comedic spots and Alan Rickman is just amazing as always. Great video

I appreciate your reading the IMdB trivia after watching the movie. You mentioned Kevin Costner getting some of Alan Rickman's removed from the fial film. It makes sense, because I noticed a couple of scenes that I never saw in the version I watched.

Alan Rickman playing Severus Snape the quote. Harry Potter and the Half blood prince.

Dances with wolves is a must

Dances With Wolves and Field of Dreams are absolute MUST see movies!

Given your reaction to this and your issues with Costner's line delivery, I'm looking forward to your reaction to Robin Hood: Men in Tights. EDIT: Alan Rickman recommendations are Dogma and Galaxy Quest.

1:26 Damn you Vero! I clicked on this video for a fun time - not to have full-body shivers while being all curled up in a dark corner while my brain replays the quote in Alan Rickman's voice, like I had a PSTD flashback 🤕

"I'm gonna rip your heart out, with a spooon" "A spoon?" "Yes" "Why" "Because it will huuuurt moooorre"

Hey, Sean Connery was a Russian Submarine Captain and used his usual Scottish accent and Hunt for Red October is amazing. 😂

One of my other favorite films is "The Hunt for Red October". It's set near the end of the Cold War and the US is told one of the Soviet submarine commanders-who is in a new perfectly silent untrackable ballistic missile submarine-has suffered a mental breakdown and threatened to fire his missiles on the United States. The Soviet commander is Sean Connery... and he sounds Scottish the whole time. And you know what? You don't even care it's just such an intense, compelling film. I get lost in Prince of Thieves the same way. This epic, 80s style pulp historical fantasy that leans into the camp as much as the seriousness and somehow completely works. When you said, "I don't know if it's supposed to be comedy..." during the fight scene... yes. Exactly. It's funny, it's bloody, it's gritty, it's campy... hear me out.... it works because it feels "real". Real life is all these things. It isn't just one genre. Life is all genres. That's the magic. ♥

Another Kostner adventure is WATERWORLD. Great action and practical effects

I'm going to take the opportunity to recommend the 1938 classic The Adventures of Robin Hood, starring Errol Flynn and Olivia De Havilland.

Trivia. When word got around that Costner was going to do a Robin Hood movie after the huge hit Dances with Wolves, Columbia Pictures decided to change their own Robin Hood version - starring Patrick Bergen - from a big budget spectacular epic to a low budget TV movie.

You should really watch Dances With Wolves. It's an excellent movie with a great story that explores how humans relate to one another.

4:22-4:24 After watching this movie. You are ready... For "Robin Hood: Men In Tights" (without this movie many jokes would fall flat.) 9:52-9:55 "I don't know if this is a comedy or not" This is not, it has its moments, but the above mentioned film however, most certainly is. And her name is Marion, it ends with n not m

saw this in the theater when it came out (I was 10, went with whole family including grandparents), and LOOOVED it and got it on VHS asap and watched it over and over and over it's very good, but, I've seen it so much it is rare to watch now (maybe once again in 10 years from now?) seriously have seen it over 40 times so this will be fun potentially, watching you

While we’ve got the Medieval(ish)/Fantasy hooks in, try Ladyhawke and/or The Princess Bride.

Regarding accents, to be fair you have a great example of an actor who only has one in Sir Sean Connery ! Watch ‘Highlander’ to hear his famous Spanish Scot !

Good movie. I’ve always been a Costner fan tho. I also love the end credits with Bryan too. I always keep the movie version of Everything I Do handy in my playlist. Thanks for sharing your reaction experience with us. Mine was the same years ago.

*"Here's 30 pieces of Silver...To pay the Devil...ON YOUR WAY TO HELL!!"* As a pious man... Full swing on those that take Truth and make it Evil. Humble. Loyal. Honest. *Never compromising against True Darkness.*

"Wait, Kevin Costner didn't have an accent?". Occasionally he does. : ) He and Christian Slater really struggle in this movie.

That Witch haunted me as a child, scary as hell.

Now you need to watch Robin Hood: Men in Tights, one of the greatest spoofs of all time.

Now you can watch the sequel, Robin Hood: Men in Tights ;)

Fair point. Kevin Costner was huge at the time, his involvement made the movie possible in the first place. But he was horribly miscast. Not only is he unable to pull off a British accent if his life depended on it (they tried it at first, but he was so bad at it that they just told him to not bother anymore), he's also the completely wrong type. He can do taciturn and brooding well enough, but a charismatic, inspiring, cheerful leader he very much isn't. Alan Rickman would've outacted pretty much every leading man, but Costner was especially easy prey. Rickman, Michael Kamen's score and the on-location sets are the reasons this movie works.

At this point in history Kevin costner was a very big star. It seems they would have cast him in anything whether he was right for the role or not.

So, I obviously haven't seen the reaction yet, so I don't know what you do already know, or even if you really want to here any of this, but I've always had a weird attachment to the Robin Hood story. This is the one that was popular when I was younger, but I actually grew up on the old 60s Disney cartoon Robin Hood. (This is a whole other story, but there was a period in the 70s into probably the mid 80s after Walt Disney, and then later Roy Disney died, where the company was at a low point until Michael Eisner took over and rebuilt it into what it's now become. But in the 80s, when I was a kid, they just recycled a lot of old Disney stuff that people my age were fed and grew up on.) I once as a teenager read a Robin Hood book, but I was never sure if it was the Robin Hood book. I later learned there isn't exactly one. Robin Hood, is such an old story that had been originally passed down through generations told through oral story telling, and then later different written versions, eventually film and TV versions. The old Errol Flynn version is a classic. They actually shot that one close to where I'm from. It's a tiny little lake that's now a wealthy gated community called Lake Sherwood, because it was Sherwood Forrest when they shot the movie. Years ago, my brother was a security guard there. So you can imagine the cultural significance it must've had to society then, and probably still now, for it to have endured for so long. There's speculation about whether there ever really was a historical figure that might've been the real Robin Hood, or combination of different figures, but I don't think it's something we can ever really know for sure. Not too long ago, Ridley Scott did a Robin Hood that placed the story in a new historical context that may be more historically accurate. Who knows, but I really liked it. I was hoping that it would be the start of Ridley Scott maybe doing a new series of Robin Hood movies, but I don't think it was super successful, and unfortunately, I don't think that's going to be happening. Around the same time, there was also a new King Arthur movie done by Jerry Bruckheimer, that was more Jerry Bruckheimer than Ridley Scott, but there's also the same sort of speculation about whether King Arthur may have been based off of reality, and one that while a little more fantastical, was also placed in a new historical context that I thought was interesting compared to the traditional context.

Dances With Wolves is a beautiful film with and by Kevin Costner. Please put it on your list. I would love to watch your reaction to it. Another 90s movie full of heart.

Kevin Costner tried doing a British accent' (whatever that is, we have dozens) but it was sooo bad they just went with his normal voice. Michael Kamen's score and Alan Rickman's performance (mentioned in the comments got to play how he wanted) absolutely made this film

The strat-choo had to suffer a lot in this movie. 😁

This is an amazing movie. ^^ Glad ya watched it. ^^

In truth, the English language was much different than it is today. Had everyone spoken in the actual dialect of the time, viewers would have had a difficult time just understanding the speech. And that would have positively taken away from enjoyment of the film.

For a serious follow up, watch Robin and Marion. For an even less serious than this was follow up, see Robin Hood Men in Tights.

I'm obviously not a movie maker, but I don't understand the trivia that Costner didn't break character at the spoon improvisation. It really makes me wonder how much IMDB trivia is true. He's not in the shot. I don't even know if he'd be there for Rickman's coverage. Maybe he's off camera, but does it really matter if he breaks character off camera?

6:30 the Robin Hood Tree has been Vandalized and Chopped Down.

"Kevin Costner didn't have an accent"... well, he tried as evident in a few scenes and wisely chose to just drop any attempt because that would have been way worse than him just talking in his own accent.

One of my favorite villians (RIP Alan Rickman) One of my favorite cameos (RIP Sir Sean Connery) One of my favorite quotes: "... and call of Christmas!" P.S.: Your quote is of course from Prof. Snape, saying this to Prof. Dumbledore atop the Astronomy tower in "Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince"

I already want you to watch the Errol Flynn Version

A lot of people complained about Kevin Costner's accent in this, but it's set around the year 1200 so a modern British accent is just as innacurate. They would've been speaking early middle English at the time, so... shutup

Is this the directors cut are some of these scenes I’ve never scene before 😳😳🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Robin Hood: Men In Tights is Robin Hood parody movie by Mel Brooks. It has a lot of tie-ins to this movie. Definitely a must watch after watching this one.

Mel Brooks did a movie based on this.

Dances With Wolves is a must watch!

This is one of my favorite movies it's just a fun watch. So you mentioned immediately Kevin Costner didn't have an English accent. Well, they tried. But after trying they realized that he sucked at it so they just said screw it we'll just do it without it. And it worked. In the end nobody really cared. So I don't you need to watch dances with wolves it is in my top five films of all time it's brilliant it's a masterpiece. As always you're awesome ❤️💚☘️🇺🇦

Hi Verowak, I`m glad you enjoyed it, I agree Alan Rickman was the best part. IMO, the best film version of Robin`s story is (The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)) in Technicolor. It Stars Errol Flynn & Olivia De Havilland as Robin & Marion. I would love to see you react to it at some point.

For Kevin Costner, you should totally do "Dances With Wolves"!

Rickman gets the best deaths. it's a real tossup for me which is better, Nottingham clutching the dagger before him or Hans Gruber falling down Nakatomi Tower.

Rickman's Sheriff is the most hilarious cartoony evil character. Such a charming man. For me Alan overshadowed Costner easily, without him the movie would not be a success, and if I remember correctly he even added many lines to his character. Costner even asked for the Rickman role to be diminished, as he clearly saw what was happening. There are few more lines for Sheriff in the extended cut.

To see a good Costner film, watch Field of Dreams. You get James Earl Jones as a bonus!

"Wait, Kevin Costner didn't have an accent." No. He didn't. 😂

By the way, black powder wasn't available in England yet.

A couple of other movies where I have see Alan Rickman in the antagonist role are- Die Hard Quigley Down Under

You absolutely 100% MUST watch RH: Men in Tights now. Have to do it now. Right now. Go, go.

Alan Rickman was at a party once when a child asked him why he always played baddies. He turn to the child and answered “I do not play baddies, I play very interesting people.”

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves ... it was a trick question!! you're cute lol

You really owe it to yourself to watch dances with wolves. It's not what it seems lol. Not only was Kevin in it, it w was the first film he directed. It went way over budget, and time... was almost canceled several times... and Kevin broke his back doing a stunt... but it's an epic film.. epic. Also, a great morgan freeman film you'd like is called Moll Flanders... anyway, great reaction as always... thank you. 😊

Field of Dreams (1989) and Dances with Wolves (1990) are probably the most recommended “must watch” Kevin Costner movies. But for a really early appearance of Kevin Costner, see the excellent Testament (1983). There’s also Silverado (1985), The Untouchables (1987), and No Way Out (1987) which puts Costner out there as a movie star. And though I think they unfairly get a bad rap, Waterword (1995) and The Postman (1997) are also worth watching. Alan Rickman is nothing but terrifying as the villain in the lesser known film, Closet Land (1991) with Madeleine Stowe. A definite watch.

My favorite part of this story is Robin saving Marian at the end…she lucked out

now is the time to watch Robin Hood men in tights.

Interesting that there were scenes in here that I've never seen before. I guess this is an extended version?

Watch Kevin Costner in, Field of Dreams, The Bodyguard (with Whintney Houston), Open Range, and Dances With Wolves. They are all really good movies and a good overview of Costner's style.

RIP the Sycamore Tree
