Morgan Freeman's character in this film was based on a character who was developed in a (fantastic) British TV show called Robin of Sherwood. The creators of Prince of Thieves thought that this was part of the original legend and added it to their adaptation. In Robin of Sherwood, the character was originally not going to be a recurring character, but audiences responded so positively to him that he was part of it throughout the show's run.

If you think the actor playing Guy of Gisborne (Michael Wincott) was scary in this one you may want to check him out as the main antagonist in out in "The Crow". It is good adaption of a goth comic released in 1994. It would also be a not too scary pick for Carly to kick-off your Scary October. "The Crow" is a dark love story, but I fear it will most completely down you afterwards, because of the tragic real life implication.

Just so you know. That whole opening scene (in England) is filmed on Hadrians Wall - yeah he gets from Dover to the North of England instantly apparently 😁. Now, I just realised you might not know what that is but it’s the (still remaining - although not fully intact) Roman built wall across the middle of Britain (just south of the modern Scottish boarder). Given I went to Newcastle University (in the north east, and it literally has a “suburb”/town called Wallsend - which I lived in and they have a fully reconstructed section and a few bits that still exist even in a big modern city. However the place most people go to see the wall is exactly where they were filming. And that section where the tree is is a very famous picturesque section of the wall with that tree in between two hills. As I was so close I’ve walked long sections and I also Rock climb. And just the other side of the wall when he asks if “is there is no cursed sun in this country” is an excellent 30-50ft cliff for climbing. That’s actually why it was built there. The landscape naturally presents a formidable barrier. I understand that modern thinking is that it was more of a checkpoint with people (Romans) living north of the wall. In fact there are several amazing Roman Forts in the area and the best imho, Vindolanda, is just North of the wall (I think). But popular understanding is it was built to stop Celts (Scots) from raiding south. Even today excluding Glasgow & Edinburgh, the population density north of around that point drops significantly so it would never have made sense to “occupy” Britain all the way to the North Scottish coast. Then again - there’s significant evidence a major factor in building it was to give the army something to do lest they get up to stuff they shouldn’t be as the area needed to be garrisoned at the time but it was hardly the toughest posting a Roman soldier could get. It was started in 122AD during the reign of the Emperor Hadrian! Check it out in Wikipedia. Some of the pictures are amazing and I did sometimes catch myself thinking it was cool I studied Medicine right next to a World Heritage site 2000 years old you could go climb on and nobody would mind! Also - I know for a fact he pointed South/South West whilst saying East!

Yeah, I watched Prince of Thieves countless times as a kid, and when I discovered that there was an extended version as an adult I was blown away. I don't know that I'd recommend it to someone as their first viewing, as the theatrical version treating the witch's powers and relationship with the sheriff more ambiguously has its own benefits to the movie, keeping the audience in more suspense more regarding her and what to expect from her... but it definitely is worth checking out after watching the theatrical release. Certain bits with the sheriff that already work well are even better with the added context, and you can pick out details of Rickman's performance (and the witch's) that were definitely informed by the cut scenes. I don't think one version is better than the other, just different, and both versions are fantastic.

This movie was such a huge hit at the time, with an incredible score. I was a junior in high school the and in the marching/concert band (piccolo, if it matters)- we marched to the main theme and it always elicited cheers from the onlookers. We eventually got to travel to Orlando and march at the Magic Kingdom (where are my other Disney band nerds at, remember the "brown round-top door"?), it was the most exciting feeling in the world to come down Main Street, playing that score- all 200 of us. Even though we all got sick of playing and rehearsing the same music over and over, we never got sick of the Robin Hood music- it was always thrilling to play. This movie has such a special place in my heart for being very much of that time and creating those memories.

You should add "Robin and Marian" to your viewing list for this series. "Robin and Marian" is a 1976 British-American romantic adventure film from Columbia Pictures, shot in Panavision and Technicolor, that was directed by Richard Lester and written by James Goldman after the legend of Robin Hood. The film stars Sean Connery as Robin Hood, Audrey Hepburn as Lady Marian, Nicol Williamson as Little John, Robert Shaw as the Sheriff of Nottingham, Richard Harris as Richard the Lionheart, and Denholm Elliott as Will Scarlet. It also features comedian Ronnie Barker in a rare film role as Friar Tuck. It is the only theatrical film based on the Robin Hood legend that makes use of a very old story (found in "A Gest of Robyn Hode") depicting his murder at the hands of a prioress he was related to, but turns the legend on its head by making Marian the prioress, and making it an act of love, not betrayal.....Watch it!

Thank you so much for reacting to this movie!!! Your joy from it has truly made my day!!! I was 19 years old when this came out, and it was ICONIC!!!! It has that unique quality of having glaring flaws, and yet, being virtually perfect, at the same time! The main theme and score by Michael Kamen; the scenery; the unique voice and presence of Michael Wincott as Guy of Gisborne; Morgan Freeman's Azeem; the beautiful Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio; and even Kevin Costner's horrible English accent (or lack thereof) were all just perfect for this film!! And, of course, I dare not neglect to celebrate Alan Rickman just chewing up the scenery as the most deliciously evil Sheriff!!! I've lost count how many times I've watched this movie, especially back in the day! There was a time when I could quote this movie line for line, and, even still, I get more than I miss!!
