There's a clip online of Alan Rickman getting a BAFTA award for this movie and he said "It just goes to show you, subtlety isn't everything!"

Now time to watch Robin Hood: Men in Tights

Iconic movie....the accent thing ALWAYS reminds me of Men In Tights. "Because, unlike other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent" 😂

To this day I still use the "With a SPooN." "BECAUSE ITS DULL YOU TWIT" at every chance I get

Alan Rickman is having so much fun in this, I've also seen it at least 50 times lol

RIP Alan Rickman. This was the first movie I ever saw him in.

I love this movie so much. Alan Rickman is so amazing. "...AND CALL OFF CHRISTMAS!!"

If you're reacting to this you have to react, get Calvin to react, to Robin Hood Men in tights. It's a must!

Alan Rickman chew so much scenery. You gotta love it.

Alan Rickman is severely missed, There are few Actors in this day of his caliber.

It's like Rickman is in a entirely different movie. It's gloroius.

Yeah when you re-watch this as an adult Alan Rickman steals the show such a great actor. Rip Alan Rickman

The theme song for this film '(Everything I do) I do it for you' by Bryan Adams was my father and mother's first dance song at their wedding 29 years ago! 💕

I really appreciate how you guys got that they landed at Dover (300 miles away from Nottingham) then immediately overshoot Nottingham by about 200 miles north. 500 miles in a day 😂

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is one of my favorite movies and 2nd favorite adaptation of the Robin Hood story; right behind the animated Disney version. Of course the 3rd favorite is Robin Hood: Men in Tights.

Gotta love how Kevin Costner doesn’t even attempt at doing an English accent in this.

I know a lot of people think this movie isn't that great but I absolutely love it. Great cast, tons of funny moments (my family and I always quote "and call off Christmas!")

This is the one version of Robin Hood I've seen that actually shows the process of how a spoiled upper crust guy becomes a hero of the common man, rather than just starting with him fully formed as we know him. And it's colored pretty much everything I've seen of him since.

Still my favorite Robin Hood movie to this day.

Now you're ready to show Calvin (and yourselves?) the Mel Brooks' parody Robin Hood : Men in Tights

The character of Azeem is based on the character of Nasir in Robin of Sherwood. He was played by Mark Ryan in the 80’s

0:59 As soon as Calvin hummed that tune in the beginning, my childhood of Disney DVD trailers flooded back into my brain. I never knew that score was from this movie. Anybody else?

This movie was the go to movie for our history teachers when they had nothing prepared to teach us.

Also: in the twelfth doctor episode "robot of Sherwood" 12 fights robin with a SPOON

I was weirdly obsessed with this film as a kid. I think partly because I had crush on Christian Slater. But for ages I never saw the full thing, I’d always miss part of it when it played on TV. I remember one time I finally was watching it from the beginning, and about a quarter of the way through my mam called me down for lunch, and for whatever reason this was the day she insisted we sit down at the table and eat together. I just about threw a tantrum I was so angry 😂 Anyway, I felt compelled to share that for whatever reason!

no reaction shot to sean connery?! SIN no but omg. i saw this in the theater when i was like 13 and was obsessed with it for a good year, had the movie poster on my bedroom wall and everything. then a few years later when people started making fun of costner's lack of accent i went back and watched it again and was like "this is SHIT what was wrong with me?" and THEN. then everybody started to realize how fantastic and campy it was anyway, and now it's a cult classic. amazing. thank you guys.

I still sing “there was a man from Nottingham who tried to cross a river, what a dope he tripped on a rope now look at him shiver” every time I go near a river lol 😂

"I'm gonna cut your heart out with spoon!" is an inside joke in my family. HAhaha.

One of the 10 VHS that for over a decade I would put on as I went to bed. Love it, shame that Michael Kamen passed so long ago, a composer that ranks right up there with the best.

God bless Calvin. He can see all of the problems with the movie and does NOT ruin it for his buddies who have 'blind love' for the movie from watching it as younglings and leaving deep positive impressions with them.

There is a great moment in the film where a little girl comes up to Azzem and asks if God painted him... He takes the time to sit back, think about it and give a thoughtful answer to a very curious child

"Because it's *dull* you twit, it'll hurt more!"

You can really see how much Alan Rickman enjoyed the haminess of his character. Also, you'll have to watch Robin Hood Men in Tights now. It's the law.

For some reason, when I think of Alan Rickman movies, I never think of this one. It's always Die Hard & the Harry Potter series first, but this one...not so much. But he was one of the reasons that this movie was a favorite of mine, at one time. It still holds up, even tho I haven't seen it in years. I have to go and watch it again now. lol Looks like Calvin enjoyed it as much as Rick & Eric. Good stuff.

Alan Rickmans best Role but pls don´t cancel Christmas

I once had a book that went into the background of the major stars. It also had a short interview with the director and the stunt coordinator. The stunt coordinator was quoted as saying that he had his heart in his throat for most of the filming of this movie. He had two reasons for this feeling, and they both had to do with Kevin Costner. The first reason was that Kevin Costner insisted on doing as many of his own stunts as possible. In fact, he did all but two of them himself. In fact, he did all but two of them. One was when he was swinging on the rope during the forest fire scene, the rope burned through, and he fell to the ground. The other was when he swung from the roof and went through the window into the sheriff's chapel. In other words, Kevin Costner was actually the one in the catapult when he went over the wall. The other reason was that Kevin Costner had worked with the director, Kevin Reynolds, on an earlier film. This meant that he (Costner) knew how Kevin Reynolds thought and what he'd (Reynolds) would be looking for in certain shots. While they were filming the forest scenes, Kevin Costner would grab a tree branch, lean out over a 30-foot drop (with nothing underneath him), and yell down, "Hey, Kevin, is this more what you wanted!??!". He (Costner) didn't stop at doing it just once; he kept doing it.

When I was a teen, I wanted to create a tree house village themed bar in the city called "The Trees" so when groups were like "where shall we go tonight?", everyone else could shout "TO THE TREEEEES!"

This is genuinely one of my favorite movie ever! Such a fun clever aventure, the actors are all so charming and clearly having fun!

I do hope they react to Galaxy Quest someday... (Alan Rickman made me think of it haha)

My favorite Christian Slater line (before Mr Robot) - "F*ck me, he cleared it!"

Awesome! Iconic music that I had to learn in band. Then we moved to another state, and we had to learn it in band AGAIN, lol. Cheers to the GOAT Alan Rickman!

Sean Connery was the only actor that could get away with playing a Russian Submarine Commander and STILL keep his Scottish accent.

Used to watch this movie daily as a kid

I’m English and I don’t care that Kevin Costner didn’t do the English accent, he’s my favourite Robin Hood. I love this movie.

I did not expect this, but I love it :) I miss Alan Rickman so much :'(

Alan Rickman is just so good in this, he adds so much to the comedic role

You didn’t show Sean Connery’s little part….sad. I loved that surprise when I was watching this movie every few months. Over and over. You should do “Ladyhawke”!

Alan Rickman absolutely killed this scene.

One of the greatest opening theme , so uplifting.

Thank-you for including Brian Blessed yelling " For God and King Richard!" One of my favourite movie moments. This movie was amazing in the cinema, when it came out. I saw it three times.

When I grew up, a friend and I (who lived in different towns) would watch this film every time we met, and quote it in letters to each other inbetween. You could say it was one of my first fandoms. 🙂

I love alan rickman, the best villain in movie whit hans gruber in die hard!

Is this in preparation now for Robin Hood: Men In Tights?

Whoa whoa whoa, movies that shaped my childhood. Let’s go. Lol. This got me into archery

I'd love to see you guys react to "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" and also "The Adventures of Robin Hood" starring Errol Flynn, the CLASSIC and definitive version of Robin Hood for 50 years before Prince of Thieves came along.

Alan Rickman is so hot!

Really vibing the pride pin Calvin has been wearing on his hat for awhile now

Always makes me sad to see Jack Wild. He played Dodger in Oliver Twist 1968. A great actor with a tragic life.

'Because its dull you twit it'll hurt more! Alan Rickman is fucking brilliant in this! Well and everything else his in too but especially this

one of my favourite movie swords... Conan (Arnold version), Highlander (Lambert/Connery) , Princess Bride (Inigo), Braveheart, Cutthroat Island (Frank Langella), Willow (Val Kilmer) to be fair to Duncan, he won't be the only person to run from Morgan Freeman

that gimli impression was cleeeean

You left off the end bit where the most famous English King turns out to be a Scottish James Bond.

Ah the nostalgia, such a great movie and I also must have watched it countless of times growing up on vhs

Might be my most watched movie of all time.. as a kid this tape was getting rewound at least twice a day lol..

cant believe I am only finding this now!! I guess my algorithm knows I am searching for movies that i LOVE :)

I used to watch the original UK version of Whose Line is it Anyway when I was a kid, so when this movie came out and Mike McShane was playing Friar Tuck, I was irrationally excited.

Another awesome Kevin Costner movie you guys should check out is Dances with Wolves

When I saw the title I thought to myself... there's a pre 2000 Robin Hood movie I haven't seen?... it was a great surprise that I actually remember some of the scenes in the start. I'm really gonna enjoy rewatching this with the crew =)

Should watch Dragonheart since you guys make so many references to it. My childhood. Hearing to the stars makes me tear up every time.

I fully recommend the series 'Robin of Sherwood' which this movie took a whole lot of inspiration and ideas from.

In high school we did the Theme for our marching band field show

When I clicked on this, I thought it was Men In Tights. But now I've learned I need to see this movie because the clips were great.

Oh wow. I never noticed it was Brian Blessed as his dad, Lord Loxley.

I loved this movie as a kid. As an Englishman I've always loved the legend of Robin Hood. This movie gets a lot of stick at times, but the humour is very English pantomime at times which I'm ok with. But one thing I think this movie does greater than most (arguably the best) is how it handles racism. It's not spotlighted, there's genuine child curiosity, offence is not taken, characters are educated by noble action and therefore equal. Lots of modern movies could learn from this.

The extended edition actually makes it clear that the witch was the Sheriff mother.

R.I.P Actors & Actresses who were alive in the flesh back then during the filmings.

"I'll cut your heart out with a spoon!" Me: Why a spoon? "Because it'll hurt more!" To this day, it's my favorite quotes of all time

One of my favorite movies of all time.

I heard that Alan Rickman and some friends of his came up with some of the best lines in the film.

I watched this film so many times as a kid - I think I may have known it word for word at one point. Thanks for the reaction, fellas!

Hey guys just wanted to tell you that i love your content and keep doing what u do!

13:59 the little one of the left is the actor who played Artful Dodger in Oliver Twist

I really enjoyed watching YOUR reactions to this. The obvious delight and enjoyment is infectious, lol. It has been a while since I've watched this flick but I used to love it so much. The bad thing is, I've watched Robin Hood: Men in Tights so much and more recently, that it was hard to stop comparing and mentally seeing the alternates to the scenes, 😂😂.

This movie needs to become a youtube reaction meme, every reactor out there owes to himself/herself to watch it.

The score from this movie got re-used in so many trailers after this. And it was the music used for the Morgan Creek Entertainment logo until 2009!

I remember seeing this very young when it first came out and also being terrified of the witch when she was making the spell.

I never knew that about Sean Connery’s salary! Such a neat factoid.

Rick's love of this movie has elevated my love of this movie! Reaction needed to be longer though.

I love this film. It's probably my favourite adaptation of the story. Not only is the action great and Alan Rickman giving 100% to the role but I love the fact that each of the outlaws has their time to shine and distinguishing character traits and motives. CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CUT OUT THE EDITING!!!!

33:14 FWIW, I'm English and I _love_ this movie! That said, I'm 40 and, like a couple of you guys, I grew up watching it a number of times. In the UK, I feel like you either grew up with it and love it, or you were old enough when it came out to realise it's a pretty inaccurate/terrible movie, which, objectively speaking, it is, but I don't care, lol. My dad can't stand it, but me and my sister still adore it to this day, haha. I also remember the Brian Adams song held the No.1 song in the UK for like a record number of weeks/months at the time, and so some people were probably sick of hearing it after a while, which perhaps transferred into some people getting tired of the movie too. Great reaction, and discussion, guys! 👍

This puts Robbin Hood: Men in Tights in so much context. I've seen it so many times and thought the only reference to this movie was that Carey Elwes could do an accurate accent

Costner was supposed to train with an accent coach before he started shooting but the shoot for Dances With Wolves went over and he didn't have time. He tried at the beginning. He and the director probably thought it'd be less distracting just to use his regular accent.

I would love for the guys to watch the BBC series Robin Hood with Richard Armitage, Keith Allen, Jonas Armstrong & Lucy Griffiths, I have a lot of good memories with that one.

For a second i thought they're reacting to Robin Hood: Men in tights!

I know it's not the greatest movie, but this was my favorite movie when I was 11-13. I had the biggest crush on Christian Slater for years (ever since gleaming the cube). At least once a month I would watch three movies: Robin Hood, Newsies, Time Trackers

I love that Kazeem performed a C-sectiin when Trained Measter couldn't.

Man, it's been a long time since I've watched this movie in its entirely. Used to own the VHS and would always watch it. And the Brian Adams song was a HUGE HIT!

Nothing beats old Robin Hood films. The new ones aren't even like the Robin Hood story and as a guy from Nottingham (who likes Robin Hood, ALOT) it makes me depressed lol

I'm not sure which order things happened but the moment when "King Richard" charged out yelling that very distinct sound and I made the connection that it was Brian Blessed who played the lead Hawk Man in Flash Gordon was a very exciting day for me.
