Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is a 1991 period-ish action-adventure movie based on the Robin Hood myth, directed by Kevin Reynolds and starring Kevin Costner in the title role.The story is familiar; Robin of Locksley, a Crusader, escapes Jerusalem alongside a Moor named Azeem (Morgan Freeman), who accompanies Robin because of a Life Debt. They return to England and discover that Robin's father (BRIAN BLESSED) has been killed by the Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Rickman), and Locksley's lands stolen by the Sheriff. Oh, and the Sheriff is also now apparently a devil worshipper and is being assisted in his evildoing by his cousin, Guy of Gisbourne (Michael Wincott). Robin and Azeem become outlaws, and steal from the rich and give to the poor. Men are made merry, bucklers are swashed, and they all live Happily Ever After (except the Sheriff, obviously). It's also fairly dark compared to most Robin Hood adaptations.The movie opened to decent reviews, was a box office success and was nominated for quite a few awards, including an Oscar. Noted for Kevin Costner Not Even Bothering with the Accent and Alan Rickman's gloriously hamtastic performance.The Mel Brooks 1993 parody Robin Hood: Men in Tights largely lampoons this movie, although it acknowledges other elements of the legend.Another Robin Hood film simply called Robin Hood was also released the same year, but avoided theatrical release in the US due to this movie. As well, there's no connection other than subject matter to the 1948 adventure film The Prince of Thieves. | |

Age Lift | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_121b3725 | comment |
Age Lift: When King Richard shows up, he is significantly older than he was in-reality in 1194 (he was 36 at the time, but is played by Sean Connery, who was 61 at the time, a solid 25 years older). It is plausible though that, being the king, a life-long soldier and commander, and having previously been imprisoned for two years caused enough stress to age him faster, though. | |

Card-Carrying Villain | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_137f2d7 | comment |
Card-Carrying Villain: The Sheriff of Nottingham embodies pretty much any and all indicators of cartoonish supervillainy, up to and including Satan worship. In his defense, it more seems to be Mortianna involved in those things; she raised him, so she naturally had an influence on his belief system. The Sheriff goes to her for advice and (somewhat reluctantly) goes along with certain things, but there's little to show he actively practices any of it himself. Case in point, he does insist on a Christian priest performing his wedding to Marian. Heck, the fact alone that he waits to be officially married before forcing himself on her shows that he does have some standards. However, in the extended cut of the film, there is a scene where Mortianna advises him to "Recruit the beasts that share our god." It should also be noted that said Christian priest is a willing stooge of the Sheriff, albeit more out of cowardice than conviction. Make of it what you will. Realize also that a marriage performed by a pagan priest would not have been recognized by the Church of England and he would have been outright declared a rapist and pagan and refused what he wanted - nobility. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: A fair chunk of this compared to previous Robin Hood adaptations, with some brutal/gruesome deaths and blood, this version of the Sheriff being one of the cruelest and using witchcraft, and a rape attempt. The NES video game, believe it or not, is much grittier and darker in tone than the movie without its signature style of humor and quirks. This is rare for an early-90s home console video game. | |

Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace: Friar Tuck allows the wedding guests a chance to object to the marriage of Robin and Marian, but after the moment of silence and before Tuck pronounces the couple as husband and wife, King Richard steps in to prevent the marriage from taking place unless he is allowed to Give Away the Bride. None object to the king's wish. | |

Royals Who Actually Do Something: Marian is King Richard's cousin, making her a member of the Plantagenet royal family. She refuses to leave her home and join her mother in London because "I am the King's cousin; it is my station to look after his people while he is away!" She gives refugees the freedom to camp on her estate and distributes money to the poor. She's also quite the Action Girl, as shown in her introductory scene. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: A ton. Say what you will about the licenses the film took with history, but by the standards of a blockbuster it's practically a masterclass of economy in storytelling. Perhaps the most crucial is the knife Nottingham gives to Marian. She gives it to Robin, who uses it to stab Nottingham in their climactic fight. Similarly, the statue that the Sheriff had made of himself, which gets used as a battering ram in the climax. Also counts as a Chekhov's Gag, as various characters pause to look at the scar that someone added to the statue after Robin and the Sheriff's first fight. The portrait of a young Robin seen hanging in Locksley Hall early in the film. It looks an awful lot like Will Scarlet, who is secretly his illegitimate half-brother. Another simple, almost literal example is in the scene when the first refugees come to Sherwood Forest. The arrow Robin uses to fend off Will Scarlet's attack is noticeably separate from the others in his quiver the entire scene. In the same scene, Robin promises to any who would seek the Sheriff's mercy that "he will stretch your necks, one by one." This is precisely the fate from which Robin must save many of his men during the climax. Averted due to a relocated scene: when they meet at church during Mass, Marian pointedly requests out of nowhere that Robin "take a bath." However, due to needing an explanation for how Robin got into the castle during the climax, the triggering scene where he rubs crap on his cloak and distracts the guard by Obfuscating Stupidity was moved to the climax. This is not only long after the request was made, but after Marian sees Robin honoring her request. | |

Related in the Adaptation: It often varies in regards to Robin and Will, with their relation being either uncle and nephew, cousins, or completely unrelated. Here they are paternal half-brothers. The Sheriff and Sir Guy are not typically portrayed as being related to one another. Here they are cousins, though likely adoptive, due to Mortianna having switched her infant son with the actual infant son of the House of Nottingham. Marian and Richard are portrayed as cousins. Typically, there is no relation between the two. | |

Even Evil Has Standards | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: After all the horrible things he's done, the Sheriff is outraged at the notion of forcing himself on Marian before they are properly married. He seems to have no problem with forcing her after they're married (though at that point he probably thinks it's just his right). Note that he was already shown casually engaging in raping the servant girls, so it's less about being opposed to rape and more that he didn't want to sire a bastard, preferring his Child by Rape be legitimate. He also balks at recruiting the Celts, noting that "they drink the blood of their dead". While the Sheriff is in the middle of trying to rape Marian, Mortianna gives him a pillow to put under her head. | |

Psychopathic Manchild | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_3ae6199a | comment |
The Sheriff also seems to be in-part a composite with the usual depiction of Prince John, being a petty, flamboyant Psychopathic Manchild scheming to take the throne. He's also got a penchant for Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil note being introduced mid-raping a woman, later ordering two servant girls to go to his bed chambers later for him to molest, and finally his Evil Plan more-or-less being to rape Marian in order to take the throne, which is behaviour the real life Prince John was infamous for. | |

Took a Level in Kindness: The general report on younger Robin is he was pretty much an entitled jerk. Marian remembers him as "a spoiled bully who used to burn my hair as a child," Will Scarlett has even more reason to have a grievance against him, and Robin himself admits responsibility for Will being abandoned and notes regretfully that his father did it "for the love of a twelve-year-old boy who would never forgive him." | |

Not Even Bothering with the Accent | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_43b154c9 | comment |
Not Even Bothering with the Accent: Costner's Robin Hood mostly sounds like he's from Nebraska. (Which is odd, since he's actually from California). Apparently he did attempt an English accent but it was so terrible that it would have made Dick Van Dyke sound like a native cockney, so it was decided to stick with Costner's natural voice. Also Sean Connery, but that goes without saying. To be fair to Connery on this occasion, an English accent on Richard the Lionheart would have been inaccurate (he probably never learned English and would have conducted court business in French, though he was a native Gascon speaker so he would have spoken French with what would sound to most modern audiences like a Catalan accent). Ironically, this makes his Scottish accent a decent facsimile of how alien he would have sounded to his English subjects. For some reason, Christian Slater doesn't get a tenth of the mockery that Costner does, but this might have more to do with his not being in the central role, and at least making an attempt at the accent, dropping his R's and pronouncing short A's as Ah's. But this only serves to make him sound sillier. Hence, Mel Brooks did the famous Take That! when in Men in Tights, his Robin comments "Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent". Then again, the language used in England in the 12th century was nothing like what we call English today (Received Pronunciation/Standard English being recent developments). In fact, the language of the English nobility of the time was Anglo-Norman French; Richard himself didn't speak English at all. To be fair, you could make the case for most of the cast being this trope, as even the British actors speak with their natural voices, which run the full gamut of English regional accents - none of which are even remotely from anywhere near Nottinghamshire, or even a Medieval one. The reason Costner's and Slater's stick out so much is because they are either not even trying to do an accent, or their attempt at it fails miserably, and it sounds jarring next to actual Brits. Averted with American actors Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Mike McShane, who both offered very passable English accents as Marian and Friar Tuck, respectively. | |

Would Hurt a Child: Nottingham would kill a child, as evidenced when one of the outlaws, a young boy named Wulf, is made to go to the gallows alongside the adult outlaws, and in fact is the first to feel the noose’s embrace.note Some degree of Deliberate Values Dissonance here. It was in fact permissible as late as the 18th century to sentence a child to death for certain crimes. Thankfully, Robin is there to Shoot the Rope. | |

Black Comedy Rape | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_4c851777 | comment |
Black Comedy Rape: One of the most infamous examples of Black Comedy Attempted Rape in a mainstream Hollywood blockbuster, in which the Sheriff is hurriedly trying to wed-and-bed Marian in quick succession while she screams and struggles and Robin desperately tries to batter down the door. The "comedy" comes from the Sheriff crying: "I can't do this with all that racket!", doing some rather questionable gymnastics to force Marian's legs open, and Mortianna trying to make the bride more comfortable during her rape by helpfully putting a cushion under her head. | |

Reformed Bully: Robin himself; Marian claims when they first meet again that all her memories of Robin from their youth were of him being a spoiled bully to her, specifically citing how he used to burn her hair for fun. It's one of the reasons she's so reluctant to take him in and accept his offer of protection, even as he insists he's matured, though the fact he says goodbye to her with a hard smack to her backside probably doesn't help his attempts at convincing her. | |

Corrupt Church: The Bishop of Hereford is a textbook example. He willingly works with the Satan-worshiping Mortianna and the Sheriff of Nottingham to sanction marital rape; previously, he had helped to accuse their enemies (like Robin's father) of witchcraft so they could be justifiably murdered. He did it all for money. After Robin and Azeem interrupt the ceremony, the Bishop flees into another room and starts trying to pack up as much treasure as he can before escaping. Of course, that's when Friar Tuck comes in... | |

Lodged-Blade Recycling: Mortianna attacks Azeem with a spear, and lodges it in his leg when he tries to deflect. After a struggle, Azeem ends up with the spear and Mortianna impales herself on it. Later, after Robin kills the Sheriff, Mortianna reappears, charging him with the same spear. | |

Realize also that a marriage performed by a pagan priest would not have been recognized by the Church of England and he would have been outright declared a rapist and pagan and refused what he wanted - nobility. | |

Viewers Are Geniuses: Friar Tuck's above-mentioned line about "thirty pieces of silver" is a Biblical reference; this was the amount of money that Judas Iscariot was paid to betray Jesus Christ. However, the way the line is delivered and the shocking defenestration which follows are both so incredibly badass that some viewers didn't really catch the reference. | |

Neutral Female: Mostly, though not entirely, averted during the final fight between Robin and the Sheriff. Marian (who is unarmed and unarmored) does her best to stay out of the way, which is exactly what she should be doing with those big broadswords swinging around. However, she doesn't hesitate to throw whatever she can get her hands on at the Sheriff when his back is to her. She even appears to be preparing to strangle him with her bare hands at one point, though he disrupts the attempt. She also trips him up by kicking a bench at him and burns him with a candle. | |

Off with His Head!: When Will Scarlet tries to redeem himself and is caught trying to interfere with the execution of Wulf and the other outlaws, he is initially summarily condemned to hang as well. There’s just one small problem: all the nooses on the gallows are occupied. The executioner’s solution is to bind Will to a barrel and use said barrel as a makeshift chopping block. Thankfully, Robin is able to shoot the executioner just as he’s raising his axe. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Wulf recognizes Will in the crowd on his way to be hanged. Angry over his apparent betrayal, he attacks him. The Sheriff recognizes Will in the scuffle and, upon hearing of Will's "failure" to kill Robin, adds him to the condemned. When the hangman comes up short a noose due to the addition, he ties Will to the planted barrel of gun powder. Now Robin can't shoot the barrel to save them. | |

Large Ham: Alan Rickman, so very much. He only took the part on the condition that he got to play it however he wantednote When Rickman won the BAFTA for Best Supporting Actor, he used his acceptance speech to quip "This will be a healthy reminder to me that subtlety isn't everything". BRIAN BLESSED AND Sean Connery are in the movie. AND they each only have one scene. Sean Connery isn't even listed in the credits! Nick Brimble (Little John) sometimes seems to be making up for BRIAN BLESSED only having one scene by doing a damn good imitation of him in half his own scenes. | |

What the Hell Is That Accent? | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_8829dfa0 | comment |
For some reason, Christian Slater doesn't get a tenth of the mockery that Costner does, but this might have more to do with his not being in the central role, and at least making an attempt at the accent, dropping his R's and pronouncing short A's as Ah's. But this only serves to make him sound sillier. | |

Tragic Keepsake | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_97d54bb0 | comment |
Tragic Keepsake: Lord Locksley's medallion to Robin. Later, briefly, to Marian as well when she believes Robin to have died during the battle at the woodland hideout. She even wears it during her wedding to the Sheriff, much to the groom's annoyance. | |

Family-Unfriendly Death | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_9afa05c7 | comment |
Family-Unfriendly Death: Robin stabs the Sheriff in the heart, using the dagger that Marian had given him - which the Sheriff had previously given her. Also Mortianna. Azeem runs her though with a spear, then throws a sword into her head when that doesn't work. | |

| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_9b06e314 | comment |
Greater-Scope Villain: Mortianna. She killed the original George Nottingham and replaced him with her own son, then spent years stoking his ambitions and tutoring him in devil worship before seeing his infatuation with Lady Marian, a cousin of King Richard, as a way to put her grandson in line for the throne of England. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: When Robin reveals his name to the future Merry Men at the river, the camera focuses on Will Scarlet shooting him a Death Glare. Later, when Marian visits the forest dwelling, she and Robin have a private conversation where they reminisce about his father, and he confesses how lost he and his father were after the death of Robin's mother. He mentions that his father sought relief in the company of another woman, but then gave her up because it made Robin so unhappy. Cut to much later in the film, and we learn that Will Scarlet is the son of Robin's father and that woman. | |

Artistic License – Religion | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_a27c0c2c | comment |
Artistic License – Religion: In the audio commentary, Morgan Freeman admits to not having done enough research to know that Muslims do not pray with hands clasped, as Christians do. Not strictly a rigid rule in Islam, but strictly speaking, there's no rule against it. Various different groups and individuals with their own interpretations do pray with clasped hands. Considering how liberal Azeem is, he may as well come from a Sunni sect or even created his own unconventional practises. Mortianna, a devil worshipper, refers to the Celts, here implied to be pagans, as, "Those who share our god." Needless to say pagans are not devil worshippers. (Although confusing the two would be a common mistake in medieval Europe.) Also pagan Celts would be polytheistic, which means Mortianna's invocation of sharing a singular god would be even more incorrect. | |

Eye Scream | |

Eye Scream: Duncan, Lord Locksley's retainer, had his eyes cut out because he refused to believe the accusations leveled at his master. The fact that he's the only servant left on the Locksley estate when Robin arrives suggests he might have been the only one who resisted. Robin kills the executioner by shooting him in the eye with a flaming arrow to keep him from executing the outlaws. | |

Nice to the Waiter: We know Marian's a good person because she treats her servants well and she brings purses full of money to church on Sunday to give to the poor. Conversely, we know the Sheriff's a jackass for many reasons, but among them are the way he treats his scribe and Guy of Gisborne (who is his own cousin in this). | |

Blown Across the Room: By a thrown sword, no less. Remember, though, that it's a very large sword (as opposed to the tiny bullets with very little mass that are traditionally causing this trope) thrown by a powerful man into a tiny woman. Not as bad as it could have been. | |

Due to the Dead: When Robin gets home and finds out what's become of his father in his absence, his first action (after he gets over his very understandable freak-out) is to give his father a proper burial. Later, the same care is given to those who lose their lives during the woodland invasion, including Duncan. Robin keeping his promise to Peter, to deliver his ring to Marian and offer her his protection, may also count as this trope. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_a7aef9ff | comment |
Averted due to a relocated scene: when they meet at church during Mass, Marian pointedly requests out of nowhere that Robin "take a bath." However, due to needing an explanation for how Robin got into the castle during the climax, the triggering scene where he rubs crap on his cloak and distracts the guard by Obfuscating Stupidity was moved to the climax. This is not only long after the request was made, but after Marian sees Robin honoring her request. | |

Fatal Flaw | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_aba8065b | comment |
Fatal Flaw: Two examples on display during the climax: The Sheriff's is his arrogance. Rather than kill Robin immediately once he's cornered, he takes a moment to gloat, looking at Marian. That moment is all Robin needs to turn the tables. The Bishop's is his greed. Instead of running for his life, he instead stops to gather up his ill-gotten gold, which is where Friar Tuck finds him and proceeds to shove him out a window. | |

Oh, Crap!: Duncan's reaction to learning, belatedly, that Azeem is a Moor... mere seconds after having cursed the Moors and blamed them for Robin's predicament. A more serious one is after the Merry Men defend their forest home from hired thugs. Robin looks out towards the Nottingham soldiers in the distance, with flaming arrows and trebuchets, and says "My God" in sheer terror. Azeem is right there with him, offering up his own "Allah be merciful!" Also when Mortianna and Azeem see each other for the first time, each having heard all the horror stories about the other (and, in Mortianna's case, having had prophetic dreams about Azeem). | |

Marital Rape License | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_b1c8e04e | comment |
After all the horrible things he's done, the Sheriff is outraged at the notion of forcing himself on Marian before they are properly married. He seems to have no problem with forcing her after they're married (though at that point he probably thinks it's just his right). Note that he was already shown casually engaging in raping the servant girls, so it's less about being opposed to rape and more that he didn't want to sire a bastard, preferring his Child by Rape be legitimate. | |

The Sheriff actually gets married to Marian before Robin can stop it, but he dies pretty shortly thereafter, leaving her Widowed at the Wedding. (As an unstated bonus, this means she can legally inherit all of his property, and thereby return everything to the people from whom he stole it - including Robin's lands.) | |

Truer to the Text | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_b552b24 | comment |
Truer to the Text: Downplayed since the film made considerable changes to the lore and actual history, but the decision to excise Prince John completely and just use the Sheriff of Nottingham as the Big Bad brings things back to the original ballads and stories, where he was the sole Big Bad (as the time period wouldn't get associated with Robin Hood until centuries later). There are also some ideas in the film which harkens back to the older tellings which has fallen out of fashion in most modern versions by the time the film was made: Marian fights Robin in her initial appearance which goes along more to the stories were Marian could hold her own and sometimes was the protagonist. The corrupt church theme in the film mirrors how the ballads and plays would lampoon the church with the lower ranking clergy being sincere and helpful while the high ranking bishops and abbotts were greedy and corrupt. Contrast Friar Tuck and the Bishop. | |

| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_b7bc7d28 | comment |
Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: In the middle of the Celts' raid on the Merry Men's camp, Robin starts dumping chests full of gold coins on the bloodthirsty marauders. They stop right in their tracks to pick up said booty, every last one of them, seeming to completely forget about the raging battle surrounding them that they initiated. Of course, they are explicitly identified as "hired thugs". When he is Storming the Castle, Robin pauses to do a Double Take at the Sheriff's statue, which previously was defaced to include the scar Robin gave him. As noted below, it's almost more of a Chekhov's Gun. | |

Demoted to Extra: Guy of Gisborne is a complicated, zig-zaggy example. Gisborne's earliest recorded appearance casts him as a one shot antagonist, but one who was able to give Robin an intense fight, which got him promoted to a The Dragon and Robin's Evil Counterpart in most adaptations. Here, he's a consistently unimpressive Brute who is never a credible threat and who gets killed by the Sheriff well before the climax. | |

Horseback Heroism: Robin steals the Sheriff's horse and uses it to escape while stealing food from a marketplace to feed his men, before the woodland encampment is properly established. Later, Duncan gets a variant of this when Marian is captured by the Sheriff's men; he gets a horse from the stable and manages to find his way back to Robin's camp despite being blind. Unfortunately, he has no idea that the Sheriff's men are following him, and he was in fact allowed to escape for exactly this reason. | |

No one objects; Marian is delighted. | |

Improbable Aiming Skills | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_bcd27e37 | comment |
Improbable Aiming Skills: Both played straight and subverted. The subversion is in Robin actually missing a shot. Sure, he was Distracted by the Sexy (so to speak), but come on. He's Robin Hood. Just before the forest battle, several watchmen fire into a crowd of people around Robin and come within inches of hitting them while firing warning arrows. | |

Happily Married | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_bec0417c | comment |
Happily Married: Little John and Fanny bicker a lot, but it's clear they're also very happy together (considering they have eight children). They're frequently shown to worry about each other's well-being, and when Fanny nearly dies in childbirth, John is beside himself with terror. | |

Shoot the Rope: To save the kid! Played with in that Robin has to shoot it twice, as the first arrow only frays it. The second one saves Wulf, and reveals to the Sheriff and Marian that he's still alive after the Sheriff was told by Will that Robin was dead after the Celts attacked Sherwood Forest. | |

Xanatos Gambit | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_c32ff031 | comment |
Xanatos Gambit: With a side order of Batman Gambit. Consider the Sheriff's plan of attack on the Merry Men. He sends the Celts in first; if they kill the Merry Men, he wins. If they retreat into the treetops and shoot the Celts (which is what happens), that's fine too. He'll just use his Arrows on Fire and flaming catapults to kill them anyway. | |

Luke, I Am Your Father: As mentioned under Re-Cut, below. The Sheriff grew up thinking Mortianna raised him after he was orphaned, but she reveals that she's actually his birth mother. She's a Bride of Satan, and her master plot is to have the Sheriff wed Marian, steal the kingdom from Richard, and father the next King of England - putting her bloodline on the throne. From the theatrical cut there's the reveal, nearly two-thirds of the way through the movie, that Will is Robin's half-brother from Lord Locksley's affair with a servant woman after Robin's mother died. | |

Public Execution | |

Public Execution: After the successful raid on the Merry Men’s camp, Nottingham sentences those captured in the raid- including young Wulf- to death by hanging. When Will Scarlet, seeking to redeem himself, tries to intervene, he is summarily ordered executed as well, only for there to be no more room on the gallows, so the executioner finds a barrel and binds him to it, intending to carry out the “sentence� with an axe. Fortunately, Robin is able to intervene by not only shooting through Wulf’s noose while he’s hanging but also shooting the executioner before he can chop off Will’s head. Little John then manages to run up to the gallows, and, using his brute strength, is able to push it over enough onto one side to save the rest of the condemned Merry Men. | |

Composite Character: The Sheriff has a similar personality and appearance to the Sheriff from Robin of Sherwood, but adds the black magic activities of the show's other villain, Baron de Belleme. The Sheriff also seems to be in-part a composite with the usual depiction of Prince John, being a petty, flamboyant Psychopathic Manchild scheming to take the throne. He's also got a penchant for Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil note being introduced mid-raping a woman, later ordering two servant girls to go to his bed chambers later for him to molest, and finally his Evil Plan more-or-less being to rape Marian in order to take the throne, which is behaviour the real life Prince John was infamous for. | |

The Un-Favourite: Will Scarlet, who was the son of Robin's father and a woman with whom he was involved after the death of Robin's mother. Lord Locksley broke it off with the woman (and basically abandoned his second son) because the affair upset Robin; as Robin himself notes when relating the affair to Marian, he did it "for the love of a twelve-year-old boy who would never forgive him." However, the novelization of the film reveals that Will was born after Lord Locksley broke off the affair, and Will’s mother never told Lord Locksley she was pregnant, suggesting that he was entirely unaware of the child's existence. | |

All Your Base Are Belong to Us | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_f4fd424c | comment |
All Your Base Are Belong to Us: Robin and the Merry Men are able to operate for so long by using guerrilla tactics like hiding in Sherwood Forest and attacking passing convoys. Once the Sheriff hires the Celts and has his men use burning arrows and cannonballs to attack their base in a full frontal assault, the outlaws are almost all killed or captured. | |

Hard-Work Montage: After Robin Hood's Rousing Speech ("By God, we take it back!"), the Merry Men set about to training in archery and swordfighting under Robin and Azeem while also crafting weapons and building their hideout in Sherwood Forest. | |

Ambiguously Related: Downplayed. Marian Dubois is stated to be the cousin of Richard Plantagenet, though it is unknown how closely related are making George of Nottingham's plan to get a claim to the throne via marrying a random female cousin of his monarch rather iffy. | |

Attempted Rape | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_f85354eb | comment |
Attempted Rape: As soon as the bishop declares them man and wife, the Sheriff proceeds to force himself on Marian, or try to at any rate. Of course, this wouldn't be considered rape back then, but this doesn't make him one bit less villainous. | |

| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_f8ba8ea8 | comment |
Movie Superheroes Wear Black: One of the first cinematic versions in a good while to do away with Robin's then-iconic green tunic and bycocket, the movie opts to dress him in more period-appropriate clothes of neutral and muted colors. | |

Running Gag | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Robin seems incapable of meeting anyone without getting in a fight, which is a nice nod to the original ballads... where Robin is incapable of meeting anyone without getting into a fight. | |

Amputative Sentencing: The beginning of the film takes place in Jerusalem, which is under Arab control (and Sharia law) at the time. It shows a man who is about to have a hand cut off for stealing bread. | |

You Killed My Father: The Sheriff did this to Lord Locksley, which he makes clear to Robin when they confront each other for the big climax. More in the sense of You Stole My Father, Will Scarlet blames Robin for their father leaving his mother. In the end, the two reconcile. | |

Badass Preacher | |
| Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves / int_fea42091 | comment |
Badass Preacher: Friar Tuck is just as good a fighter as any of the other Merry Men. When he's sober, anyway. Even when drunk, he's a force to be reckoned with. His introductory scene shows him singing and drinking while driving a carriage, and he proceeds to trounce Robin and nearly escape when the Merry Men attempt to rob him. Azeem counts as a rare positive Muslim example in Western media. He not only talks about his love for God all the time and is devout enough to observe the tenets of his religion, he believes in fighting for justice and has an egalitarian view of race and ethnicity. | |
