    Kevin Costner gets a lot of flack for this role because of his accent and such, but this is STILL my favorite Robin Hood live action movie. It's over the top, it has lots of cheese, takes itself too seriously sometimes, and yet... somehow it all works. It's a really fun and wonderful movie, even with its flaws.

    The Sean Connery cameo is there for a couple of reasons. Number 1, King Richard "The Lionheart" is quite a beloved monarch in English history, so having someone with gravitas makes sense. And 2 (and probably more appropriate), he's also played Robin Hood before, so it was a bit of a "passing the torch" moment.

    Came out when I was around 9 years old and singlehandedly the best Robin Hood movie ever made.
    This movie changed the industry forever, and made a star of both Costner and Bryan Adams with the theme.
    Ok, Costner gets jip for the accent, but I love him in this role.
    It's also a childhood memory sitting with my sister watching this on VHS.
    What I love is they don't shy from the nasty side of the times with pestilence and brutality, but at the same time managed to make a swashbuckler that is memorable and quotable.
    One of the best movies ever made, and based on what started as a handful of incomplete poems that probably never actually happened.
    There's also a few different versions of this film, some cut out Mortiana's relationship with Nottingham, and some don't.
    Edit: I think what makes the American accent work, is that they had Will Scarlett have an American accent as well.

      After Diehard, this was the movie that cemented Alan Rickman as a major movie villain character. His performance as an over-the-top bad guy where he can do from being silly (cancelling Christmas) to deadly evil is classic. He's basically the male version of Malificent in the original Disney's Sleeping Beauty.

    • @Cau_No

      I really prefer his performance of Hans Gruber (one of the most intriguing villains) much over this one.
      Gruber was menacing, intelligent, and for most of the time had the upper hand in te plot.
      The Sheriff however was a goofy, bumbling kind of comic book villain. The "And call off Christmas!" line did it for me, I couldn't take that character serious ever again.
      I didn't follow the Harry Potter franchise much, so my favourite parts Alan did after "Die Hard" were in "Dogma", "Galaxy Quest" and a little detective movie named "January Man" with Kevin Kline and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio (who played Maid Marian in this one.)

Another movie based on literature where Wincott also appear is the Count of Monte Cristo (2002). Wincott plays alot of villain roles in movies, he is also in The Crow, Along Came a Spider and Metro. He has also VA'd in video games, Halo 2 where he is the voice of the Prophet of Truth and Darksiders 2 where he voices the main character, Horseman Death.

    Some fascinating facts and trivia for you: The tree scene at the beginning is the "sycamore gap tree" in Northumberland. The wall next to the tree is Hadrian's wall (73 miles long and built in 122AD.) It's known as one of the most photographed trees in UK. The fight scene with Little John is at Aysgarth falls in Leyburn, in the Yorkshire Dales, another stunning location. Alan Rickman was given opportunities by Director Kevin Reynolds to add to the script. The infamous line "You. My room, 10.30,' you, 10.45, and bring a friend" he created by asking for input from writer Peter Barnes and comedienne Ruby Wax. He knew these lines were working when all the crew started cracking up. The witch was played by Geraldine McEwan who is such a brilliant actress, she's very famous for playing Miss Marple for several years and that character could not be more different from Mortianna. Kevin Costner only had 3 days break between finishing Dancing with Wolves and starting this movie, so we can cut him some slack for accents which were a bit dodgy all round to be honest, apart from Alan Rickman, steal scening god. Who cares about accents when a movie is this fun and good. Glad you enjoyed it.

    Lady Marian was played by Mary Mastrantonio, who was Mrs. Brigman in 'The Abyss'.
    Will Scarlett was played by Christian Slater. A movie he's in I'd recommend is 'Pump Up the Volume' (1990).
    Guy Gisborne was played by Michael Wincott, who was Top Dollar in 'The Crow'
    Now that you've seen this, I'd suggest 'The Duelists' (1977), 'The Three Musketeers' (1993), starring Charlie Sheen and Tim Curry; and if you'd like something even more wild, 'Brotherhood of The Wolf' (2001).

    Sean Connery was Robin Hood in the 60s on TV. That's why the film makers brought him on to the movie in a cameo.
    And yes, even as an 18yo in the theaters, it was a cool mind blowing experience. 😊

    You mentioned the soundtrack, it was composed by Michael Kamen, who also composed the Highlander soundtrack (amongst others). It's also worth pointing out that the tree that Wolf climbs to escape Guisbourne's troops has now been cut down by an "unknown person(s)"- it had stood there in Sycamore Gap on Hadrian's Wall for decades until then...tragic

    It was a HUGE deal seeing Sean Connery in the theaters because he had previously played Robin Hood in the 70s so no one saw it coming, but loved the Easter Egg when it happened. This was before the internet and spoilers so it was a total surprise.

  • @karadavis3590

    Fun facts, the guy that played Nottingham's cousin is the same actor that played the villain in The Crow. The other is the part where Robin & Azeam catapult over the castle wall & Will says "fuck me, he made it" was actually a blooper; they were just practicing the scene & testing the camera lighting, so just happened to catch that on film. During the editing the producer or whoever saw it & kept the clip.

  • @richlisola1
    @richlisola1 Рік тому +2

    You guys hit on something telling to the story, which I missed.
    The contrast between Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham was clear throughout the movie. Robin a Christian, the Sheriff an Occultist, Robin a trustworthy subject of England’s king, the Sheriff a disloyal usurper-But the one I missed which you guys highlighted, was their inverse attitudes towards family. The sherif killed his cousin, and Robin was overjoyed to find out he had a brother.
    That says it all.

    Thanks for the video. Great reaction as always. 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 - as you guys know). And what a cast. Alan Rickman is absolute gold here. Well, isn't he always? But also Freeman, Slater, Michael McShane as Friar Tuck and Nick Brimble as Little John.

    Pierce Brosnan was originally going to play the famous outlaw, but turned it down to host the 1991 documentary Robin Hood: The Man, The Myth, The Legend
    Costner was heavily criticized for playing an Englishman with an American accent and received a Golden Raspberry for Worst Actor.

    The similarity of Robin Hood's camp and the Ewok village was not lost on the company that made the toys. I used to own the Ewok village playset when I was a kid and years later when this movie came out and the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves action figures came out my younger cousin got Robin's hideout for Christmas and when I helped him put it together I realized it was exactly the same toy as the Ewok Village, just with a slightly different color palette. I actually dug out my old Ewok village from the depths of my closet so we could play with a bigger village set.

    When this movie came out it was one of the defining moments of my childhood. The local HEMA chapter set up a whole thing behind our theater. Had different weapons on display, full-contact sword fights between its members, and an archery area for kids to try their hand at.
    What was originally what got me into the sport and bow hunting later on in high school. After I joined the military, that hobby kind of faded but I still look back on that period with a lot of fond memories.

    I was in Jr. High when this movie came out and our band at school did a rendition of the main title theme from this movie and it was one of the most enjoyable things to play. I was on the timpani (big kettle drums) and the climax of the theme had some really challenging stuff. It's a totally rousing piece and it made me happy that you guys recognized it. I feel like movie scores haven't been like this in a very long time.

  • @sp72929
    @sp72929 Рік тому +2

    Right from seeing this the first time in the theater I enjoyed it mostly because of the Sheriff. Alan Rickman was just amazing in this, you just love to hate him while crying with laughter - “… call of Christmas”, “… and bring a friend”, “I cut your heart out with a spoon”, him stabbing a plate in a temper tantrum… all most memorable lines are his. Sorry Kevin but I would have liked to see more of the Sheriff than the main character.

    Fun Facts: (1) The fanfare from the theme song became the fanfare played during the production company's logo before every other film it made after this one; (2) Kevin Costner's accent is probably closest to what a British accent would have sounded like at the time of anyone in the cast, because the British sounded more like Americans centuries ago, and diverged after colonization began; (3) "Historians believe that Richard the Lionheart spoke French and Occitan, and that it was likely that he never learned to speak English."
