We all agree in one point: if there aren't men in leotards, it's not Robin Hood :twisted: :mrgreen:

Well, if Russell Crowe is Robin Hood, it seems odd to see him in hamata, doesn't it? A forester would nay have been so attired, methinks.

With the possible exception of his first film, The Duelists, Ridley Scott's most historically accurate film is still Blade Runner.

One of my other great interests is Napoleonic warfare, and one of my favourite films "The Duellists" precisely because it is hard to fault the historicity of the costumes and atmosphere - even the fencing styles are authentic.... !!!  D

He didn´t die and became a daywalking vampire, thus survived the times. He´s probaby still around, fighting in Afghanistan or so... ^^
Honestly: How many Robin Hood movies are there now? :roll:
I still like this series best of all Robin Hood films. :wink:

The old Errol Flynn Robin Hood movie is probably one of the most fun. Men in Tights was, uh, what was that??

Weren't all his movies? They used to be on tv when I was little and are quite sufficient to make a little boy want to be a pirate / swashbuckler / Robin Hood...

Indeed so!
That version of Robin Hood is still a favorite around here -- love that old time Technicolor.

...AND the split arrow was without special effects! It was just a really good shot.

Christian, I agree with you. I loved this series when it was on in German TV back in the 1980s. Gosh, long time ago...

It damn well should have been. The archery advisor and stunt shooter for that film was Howard Hill, the grandaddy of modern archery. There's a great story about that. Hill had been hired and went to the location and introduced himself. Flynn was tipsy and being his natural self and insulted and belittled Hill in front of the rest of the cast. Hill said, in effect : "Go scr*w yourself, Flynn, you can make your f***ing movie without me!" Then he went to his trailer and started packing. Minutes later Flynn came to his trailer and apologised profusely and begged him to stay. Hill relented and the two became good friends and went on hunting and fishing trips together for the rest of Flynn's tragically short life. That was Erroll Flynn: the classic bully personality. If you knuckled under to him you were his bitch. If you stood up to him, you were his friend for life.
