Everything Wrong With Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

Wasn't Alan Rickman GRAND in Barchester Chronicles

[@nicelyput299]

I love him but he's not underrated. He's one of the most respected actors of all time. Deservedly. Ask anyone about him and they will more than likely praise him. So underrated is not really a term I'd use. He just picked his roles. Like Daniel Day Lewis

[@SovereignStatesman]

@@nicelyput299 Yes he is, he could have played himself in Galaxy Quest.

[@nicelyput299]

@@SovereignStatesman Did you see him in CBGB? One of his last roles. Played Hilly Krystal, the so-called 'Godfather of Punk'. Critics slated it but I liked it. Oddly enough Rupert Grint was in it. He also played a real life character, the drug-addled punk legend guitarist from The Dead Boys, Cheetah Chrome. I recommend it. Rickman can do the biz even putting on an east-coast American accent

[@ifeelpretty5790]

Nicely Put I think when people say he was underrated, they mean by most major awards. He won a BAFTA for this movie, had iconic roles like Hans Gruber and Snape, and did many different genres but was never nominated for an Oscar.

Also, although CinemaSins likes to DING "All bad guys are rapists" - With King John it's an established and confirmed fact of history he would force himself on women, and may be a point of origin for the mythical Prima Noctem or King's right to claim the bridehead (again, a myth, but part of the critique of class privilege). Anyway, this John is closer to the history than almost any other character in this film (not that this is saying much).

[@zeusathena26]

All nobles spoke French. It was spoken at nearly every court in Europe, whether the kings were French, English, Dutch etc.

[@stevekaczynski3793]

He may not have been able to speak English. Norman French was the upper-class language, with the clergy also using Latin. He spent little time in England, certainly as king. The obscure but rather good 1970s TV series *The Devil's Crown* includes a scene with his father, Henry II, having sex with a lower-class Englishwoman. She speaks Anglo-Saxon and he doesn't understand her but his intercourse with her is physical, not verbal.

[@KingQwertzlbrmpf]

10:23 The way sheats for curved swords such as this work is that the sheat is not a full sheat. The backseam is open to allow the sword to be drawn. 10:31 This scene is ridiculous but for a different reason than you think. England during the time this movie is set in had a tradition that was called "the sunday bow shot". Pretty much every farmer down to bonded farmers was expected to train bow shooting on sundays. This was a decree for the simple reason of having a large amount of bowmen at hand in case of war. And the english bowman absolutly put to shame the french crossbowmen during the english-french wars due to england not only using the english longbow which had a far greater reach than crossbows, but also because england having a whole damn lot of them. In conclusion, pretty much any of these farmers in the movie should already be passable bowmen.

[@beemel5734]

Yeah, i love it when movies set in medieval times make a running gag out of "simple farm boys" not being able to shoot a bow.

[@DrygdorDradgvork]

let's not forget how disgusting, impractical, and completely made up Azeem's sword is, too. There is no historical sword that looks like that, and definitely not one from the Middle East when this is supposed to take place. But then there's the same problems with all of the armor and weapons and general realism and believability. Terrible.

10:16 Azeem's scabbard is split open on the concave side just at the throat to allow the sword to slide in/out. This was a common thing for flared, curved swords like falchions and the like. Watch the ambush scene when he counts 20 soldiers through his telescope and he has his sword on his back. You can see that the sword has shifted and part of the blade has fallen out and is exposed. 10:33 Don't forget the arms they would have captured from their ambushes.

[@calamusgladiofortior2814]

10:44 You missed a sin for showing molten steel being cast in a mold in the medieval period. They didn't have the ability to make crucible steel in Europe until the 18th century. Wrought iron and steel were made by heating iron ore up to red hot and pounding it with hammers to work out the impurities - hence wrought (worked) iron. Steel was made by baking the wrought iron in a clay vessel full of charcoal to carbonize the surface. Cast iron was in use in the 15th century in Europe, but cast iron is too hard and brittle to make weapons (other than large cannons) from.

[@blatherskite3009]

Yep, that's apparently why the shortened 1991 theatrical cut exists: because Rickman was totally owning the movie and upstaging Costner, who wasn't amused as he was supposed to be the star. Costner was also the film's producer, and had the film edited against the director's will to reduce Rickman's role. We didn't get to see Reynolds' original cut until it debuted on DVD 12 years later, in 2003. I wouldn't watch the film any other way now; the more Rickman the better :)

[@titytitmk2738]

You missed the obvious issue at the start of the film. Robin Hood goes back to Nottingham, from Englands southern coast...via Hadrians Wall...... Talk about the scenic route.

[@MrDavidh4]

I STILL think the worst sin came from Christian Slater singing "Look at him shiver" to the same tune as "Pop Goes the Weasel". Don't they have consultants for these types of screenplay mistakes?

[@Somnogenesis]

To be fair, you have to recognise the scenery as well as know the basic geography to spot _just_ how badly diversionary a 'scenic route' it is... But for those who do, it's indeed spectacularly bad: the south coast to the Midlands via the Scottish border. I think that's the most off-course you can go without actually leaving England. At a rough calculation, it's travelling to somewhere around 150 miles away via a round trip of about _500_ miles. And the real kicker of course - all "by nightfall", no less, on foot!!

[@shancathi1]

He goes from the Cliffs of Dover to Nottingham (63 hour walk today) via Hadrian’s Wall, and saying that he will be dining with his father by nightfall. I think not.

[@historygems1190]

There are formal sins if you actually know anything about the history or the basic geography of England. For example he arrives on the shore (presumably Dover area) and says he’ll be at Nottingham by nightfall which is barely possible with modern transportation let alone walking. And yet at the next scene he’s at Hadrian’s wall which means he’s overshot Nottingham by over 100 miles. Plus the fact that you see the Bayeux tapestry in the intro which was made more than 100 years before these events and shows the Battle of Hastings which literally has nothing to do with this movie. The whole thing has another layer of sins for you to enjoy if you look into it.

[@historygems1190]

That should be far more rather than formal

[@adamfowler8902]

Thats not Hadrians Wall they get to, aside from the fact that Hadrians Wall is well past Nottingham (as you pointed out) and there is no reason for them to go there given their destination the wall in the scene is far to small to be Hadrians , its just some wall that presumably marks the boundary of somebodies land You arent the only person to make this error
