An absolute tragedy the Sycamore Gap tree is now no longer. I adored this movie- my history teacher played this for us in our last few lessons for the year after our exams in 1992. Such fun.

[@thenest6929]

[@johnmurphy6298]

Who in their right mind would cut down a magnificent tree like that. So sad

[@sianwarwick633]

The tree is being replaced with a new planting

[@noname9360]

Its so pretty there all the locations. prince of thieves is one of my favorite movies i watched it thousands of times never get tired of it .

[@jaybee9716]

What's up with all the weird spaces and odd punctuation? Are you incapable of typing correctly? WTF?

[@wendysmith8246]

Thank-you Chris for this video! This movie was one of me and my husband favorite!! My husband passed away in 2012 he would have loved to see your video on this movie 🎥 you bought back a lot of memories to me! Thank-you Wendy

[@foundwisdom]

In my top 3 movies of all time. Had such an impact on me when i was 12 and ever since. So great. Thanks for this awesome video. Seeing them now is so cool.

[@davidsheppard4607]

Great video! Thank you! The sycamore was chopped down by a vandal today sadly

[@bentinsley9129]

The famous sycamore has been cut down today and the police are investigating and have arrested someone. Love your video.

[@JasonKB]

This may have been the first movie I can remember seeing in the theater. Thanks, Chris! Amazing locations.

I was 12 when Robin Hood came out. It was a really great period for movies between around 1988 to 1995. Just in 1991 when Robin Hood came out alone, there were a ton of great movies. I loved this movie then and still do to this day. Is it completely historically accurate? No. Does Kevin Kostner even attempt an English accent. No. Is some of Alan Rickman’s performance a little over the top at times? Yes. Is it a little mainstream, right down to the Bryan Adams song at the end? Yes. But you know what? That’s okay. It’s just a fun and satisfying popcorn movie, and it’s not completely without some historical merits too. As for the title song, I honestly still love it, and most of Bryan Adams music. I think that song eventually took a lot of flack and dislike only because it was overplayed a little. But it really was a good song. I can remember on the original VHS for this movie, in the credits while “Everything I Do” played, they had a Bryan Adams music video for it in the background, shot I believe in the same woods as tree village sequences. Even with special features on discs and the vastness of the internet today, that music video is surprisingly difficult to find. Robin Hood was absolutely everywhere though when it came out. Theaters, VHS later at home, on the radio with the theme song, multiple video games, novelizations, collector cards, toys, you name it. Heck, Morgan Creek even used the very start of Michael Kamen’s great score over their logo that appeared before movies for years after Robin Hood. Just good times.

[@angelsworld1733]

Yes, Bryan Adams was really big especially w the ladies. I remember on the bus many girls listened to it on the cd headphones on the way to and from school, including me😎

[@cgimovieman]

@@angelsworld1733 Hey, Bryan Adams wasn’t just for the ladies. He was an 80’s rocker. I don’t know why he’s had this unjustified reputation that way. He’s a talented guy, and there are tons of completely heterosexual guys like me who like his work.

[@PaddyBL]

Well said! I have the same relationship to the movie. This is one of the first DVDs I bought when DVDs came out. Gotta flip the DVD over halfway through. 😂

[@goldenshark3182]

@@cgimoviemanIt’s because he did a lot of romance songs in the 90’s, that’s when his fanbase changed to a lot of women.

[@U.S.A..]

Kevin Costner my opinion made the best Robin Hood

[@samanthab1923]

No! The accent comes & goes like the weather. Alan Rickman stole the show

[@JimmyLemon]

Sadly the pub that is the entrance to the 'butt scene' waterfall closed down the other day. Glad you managed to visit it before that happened.

[@MobileInstinct]

Why did it close?? That's too bad

[@JimmyLemon]

@@MobileInstinct lack of trade and the rising costs of fuel and supplies, apparently. Sadly it won't be the only business closing down in the next few months over here. Hopefully places like that will re-open when the crazy financial situation calms down a bit. I hope you enjoyed your visit to my bit of Northern England. This video certainly explains why you were at Castle Bolton too...which I was very surprised to see the other week :)

[@leestockton9367]

Damn, we always stopped there for lunch on the way to the Lakes; it's a nice detour: Castle Bolton, Aysgarth Falls, Hardraw Force

[@JimmyLemon]

@@leestockton9367 Apparently it has been taken over by a new owner and has now re-opened.

[@disme2072]

Glad you made this video, because the tree is now gone! Sad , But again great video really wonderful areas they shot in! And really enjoyed the editing, nice splicing the movie scenes in with your video of the sets/locations.

[@PJBASS8225]

I still today love this movie. It's one of my favorites.

[@marym6939]

Great moving and amazing soundtrack. I was in 6 th grade when it came it. Loved it, love it now

[@359Joey]

Dude. This is something special, it gave me chills at the beginning. I too was attached to this movie in 1991. I had my parents by me all of the action figures, man i wish i still had them. Keep up the good work!

[@davefilms345]

I live like 40mins from Salisbury where that castle is. Sadly I never got to finish the locations for this film but my aim is to do it for sure, brilliant video

[@BlueEyedColonizer]

Dude. You always do a great job but this was extremely well done. Thank you

[@andyappleton3353]

Absolutely fantastic filming location video. I got goosebumps seeing these real locations from a film that meant so much to me upon seeing for the first time in a theater in 1991. Thanks for making!!!

[@Norweeg]

That theme song is epic. What a great movie! Thanks for sharing these locations, super awesome!

[@doubledown8229]

Yep, and the Three Musketeers song too.

[@Pantheragem]

Kamen's score for this movie was absolutely perfect. 8 years later he'd create one of my favorite scores ever, for "The Iron Giant". We lost him way too soon. He had a lot of greatness left to give.

[@Modern_Nostalgia]

These areas are surprisingly well preserved after all those years. Some of the best visuals you've stumbled upon yet and such a classic film to. Great video

[@darrenjones1413]

Except for the tree some troll cut it down

[@RjRocker80]

Thanks for making this video. I remember watching one like this a while back on YT but it got flagged for copyright and removed. I grew up in the woods of upstate New York, just north of Syracuse, and I was about 10 or 11 when this movie came out and it was always one of my favorites. I use to build tree forts with my dads scrap lumber and pretend I was in the movie. Growing up in the 90s was awesome. Loved all the movies music and video games. Thanks again for making this. 10/10.

[@doubledown8229]

Guy of Gisborne: Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe? Sheriff of Nottingham: Because it's DULL, you twit, it'll hurt more.

[@paulgreenwood4633]

Absolutely gutted that the tree has been deliberately cut down by someone overnight. The Sycamore gap is iconic. It's heartbreaking 🤬

[@nira]

Just read about this! I was planning on seeing it on my next trip to England. Gutted😢

[@paulgreenwood4633]

@nira I was going to go at some point too. It would be bad enough if a storm had brought it down but this makes no sense.

[@duncanself5111]

Vandalising nature 😔

[@Theocracy8]

Damn, that's horrible. Why would anyone do this? Absolutely vile behaviour.

[@bitsbytes5069]

was a teenager afaik

[@GemGames3]

Alan Rickman was a joy to watch in this film, he made the film so enjoyable as the villain 😂 My little brother (not so little anymore, he's taller than me now) used to watch this film all the time as a child, Great vid! Nice to see things in nature still stand tall 30+ years later.

[@waterclear26]

I was a teenager when I seen this movie. Love this movie alot Thank you so much for showing us the locations ❤

[@erfriedk]

OMG! Gänsehaut das ganze Video über, danke für die kleine Zeitreise!

[@rolfathan]

This movie did really start off a love of movies for me when I was a kid. Thank you for sharing this!

[@nickbonavita1379]

I have just about every Robin Hood movie or documentary available on DVD. This is one of my favorites of them all. Was it historically accurate of course not because there's no real proof Robin Hood ever really existed. More than likely he was a combination of many different stories based on some real people but mostly fictional stories and legends. It was great to see these filming locations are still well known and visited since it's been 32 years since it came out. It was movies like these and a love of history that started my collecting of Medieval swords and armor. My little sister once said I'm the only person she knows who turned the inside of a log home into a castle. 😊

[@stephenmcguire338]

We all still love the cartoon

[@brianfreeman8290]

A compelling and well researched and presented background to one of the greatest films of all time.

[@lulabelle82]

Superb video thank you for creating this. Robin hood prince of thieves was the first VHS we ever owned in the early 90s. I still love this movie and the theme from it! Would love to visit these locations, they still look exactly the same 30 years later!

[@gholin]

This was amazing. It's so cool seeing images of the places where one of my favorite movies ever was filmed. It's kind of haunting to see them. There are echoes of the actors and film in them. I love this. Thank you for this video! Did you by chance visit any of the locales of First Knight? I recall some of the filming was in the same forest, the Burnham Beeches.

[@user-im8cw7rn7m]

One of my favourite Robin Hood movies. Loved your video. You did a lovely job.

[@mortuusgeist]

Glad you got to visit the tree before someone cut it down

[@patrioticyank4940]

Thank you Chris definitely one of my favorite movies it will always remain one of those all time classics RIP Allyn Rickman he was also phenomenal in this movie he will truly be missed.

[@pmccoy8924]

Fond memories as a child watching this over and over as well as listening to the soundtrack with my brothers. Thank you.

[@PBarry]

Dude. Loved this movie. I was in 5th grade when it came out and had the soundtrack on tape and would walk around the neighborhood all day listening to it. Good times.

[@Luggi83]

The score for this movie still is among the best of all time.

[@markbaxter5027]

The Prince of Thieves version is probably my favorite of the Robin Hood movies but the Men In Tights version was pretty good too

[@MobileInstinct]

Haha another excellent movie

[@Pantheragem]

The production value for that movie was better than it had any right to be. Amy Yasbeck was a perfect Maid Marian, and Cary Elwes was the perfect Errol Flynn flavor of Robin Hood.

[@Pantheragem]

@@MobileInstinct The legend had it coming....

This is one of my favorite movies but I never knew where it was filmed, I really enjoyed your video and appreciate how much time and effort it must have taken!

Great video ! It's heartbreaking to know that the beautiful tree is now no longer there. Some moron cut it down recently. It had been there for at least 200 years

[@OutsidewithTom]

I watched this movie so many times as a kid, really enjoyed this. Thanks!

[@TheContinuingStories]

Hey, well done on this. Much the same to you this movie was the first that just meant so much to me. One thing you don’t mention and deserves a shout out is the distance you’ve travelled. I make the odd video and have researched these locations and live in England and have even done the odd one BUT: Berkshire Kent Wiltshire North Yorkshire The Yorkshire Dales Northumberland Is as pretty much as long a trek as you can do in this country, might be a hop, skip and a jump in America but seriously a lot of miles and you did an amazing job. Pleased you’ve enjoyed England All the best.

[@nigelcarren]

Nice job mate... Expertly done! 🏆 Best wishes from a slightly homesick Englishman restoring medieval armour in a French forest A friend of mine made some Cabasset helmets for Prince of Thieves. He told me "Never make armour for films" as he was paid poorly and half of the helmets were allegedly 'Lost'. I didn't take his advice, as I have since made the armour for a few films.... he was absolutely right!!! 🙈😂🤣 🇬🇧⚒️🇺🇲

Sadly, the Sycamore tree was cut down by vandals a short while ago. It was quite famous. Had appeared in a lot of movies, music videos, and art photographs, and one evening some louts took a chain saw to it. Another has been planted there but it won't be the same. So sad.

We live in Yorkshire and we had a nice visit to the Yorkshire Dales last year and Aysgarth falls, etc (the scene of the fight with Little John). It is a beautiful area and National Park, shame most American visitors to UK don’t explore Yorkshire more. Video is missing one thing- not saying what and where all the locations are in real life?

[@andrewsgray]

I'm from the Alnwick area and can remember them being around and walking past the sets they built. Long time ago now, I'd only just started high school. Also a lad I went to school with spent his summer being Wolf's double/stand-in.

If you ever come to Chico California, look me up, I'll show you where Robin Hood with Erroll Flynn was filmed, and what's left of the great Hooker Oak Tree all the men swung from. It was filmed in Bidwell Park. Also some of the outdoor shots from Gone With The Wind we're filmed around here. Many films over the years have been filmed in or around this beautiful little town. 🙂 You're welcome anytime. 👍🏻 Love your channel to buy the way.
