Robin Hood Prince of Thieves 1991 opening theme

[@Eternaldarkness3166]

I still only see this version as the Robin Hood movie to go back to.. Crowes movie just didn't do it for me. Robin Hood Men in Tights was a great parody movie.. Just this one will always be Robin Hood to me.

[@Eternaldarkness3166]

***** that was basically my comment and the reason why I said.. I only see this as Robin Hood..

[@Eternaldarkness3166]

***** I know lol.

[@awesomeinspector5270]

May I recommend "The Adventures of Robin Hood" starring Errol Flynn?

[@GonzoZero]

Best intro ever. High adventure. Friendship through religions and wars. True love. Justice. We need those things more than ever.

[@jesusreine5789]

[@noveltybobel]

This artwork is called the Bayeux Tapestry. It depicts the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England in 1066. It measures 70 ft in length and was done by nuns during the mid 1070s. The original tapestry is still on display today in a museum in Bayeux, Normandy.

[@graceskerp]

The original graphic novel.

[@CharlesJenkins-be2cv]

No shit

[@DragonHeart613]

Thank You for the info. Always been curious to know the story & origin behind that medieval tapestry.

[@samueldixon9028]

It’s also not from Bayeux, and it’s not a tapestry. (It’s technically an embroidery, and it was probably made in Kent).

[@jennifererin6808]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@Scorehound]

This is probably my favorite opening title ever. Michael Kamen was an amazing composer.

[@valentinbeck655]

Hast recht

[@Catia2006]

yes, probably one of the best intros EVER... BRILLIANT music and arrangements... super matching also with the Bayeux tapestry... absolutely epic...

[@skyharkness9738]

I completely agree with everything you said here. It’s absolutely the best.

[@MAnuscript421]

I've only ever seen two Robin Hood movies. The Disney one and this one. I'll occasionally watch the Disney one for nostalgic reasons, but this one, this is the one I'll definitely love the most. Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman, Alan Rickman, and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, and Michael Kamen's score. You couldn't ask for a perfect combination.

[@thor213100]

You should also watch the one from 1938 starring Eroll Finn ,Olivia de havlen and basil rathbourne. I guarantee you will enjoy it.

[@carlomagno7092]

Only once you grow up and learn things you can only appreciate how amazing this movie was, the opening credits rolling over the Bayeux Tapestry is one of the coolest things i ever seen in a movie.

[@michaele2382]

This theme was so good that Morgan Creek used it after this movie for their icon music.

[@andrewkang7157]

Particularly for Ace Ventura. You can nowhere near even put that series in the same line as Robin Hood

[@ashcurrey1319]

Thank you! I’ve literally been trying to figure out where I’ve heard it before!!

[@taylorowens3721]

Disney also uses it as their blu ray theme from the 2000’s. The one that starts with “we have our heading”

[@AlexTheDeadpoolandTSFan2650]

This music was heard in Morgan Creek logo and Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment logo from 2007

[@nicolegough2828]

You could be doing the dishes and if you play this it makes you feel like you're doing something epic! This is my family's favorite movie and we watch it every time I vist them. I think I have seen this movie a 100 times, literally.

The year this came out I think I must have watched it every weekend on VHS

[@Broadwayfan365]

i just love this theme because it's the opening to all the disney dvd's and blu-rays

[@criticalbelievers]

This was by far the best Robin Hood movie for me. I really enjoyed this opening theme. Sort of a 'feel-good' motivational soundtrack for pioneers & visionaries :)

[@sultaa86]

0:24 Goosebumps everytime

[@patrickdumas224]

This was the first live action version I've seen of Robin Hood. First I saw the Disney cartoon movie which was also the first Disney movie I've seen. Then I saw this one and they were both great movies. I must've been 3 or maybe 4 years old at the time. Both movies were great, men in tights was funny as hell and the Errol flin movie from many years earlier was good too. I haven't seen any of the TV shows or movies that came around afterwards.

[@ChewbaccaBirdOfficial]

This is the original sound from the Disney dvd logo from 2007-2009

Great film and great opening credits. Its a beautiful tribute to the Bayeux Tapestry. The film deserved more Oscar nominations, at least for Best Actor in Supporting Role (Alan Rickman) and Best Original Soundtrack.

Good stuff. The theme from this movie ended up being used for the Morgan Creek theme.

[@bekd3884]

This is my all time favorite theme music! I love orchestral pieces that sound so triumphant. This is an awesome piece.

[@ironchickenMC]

I love how the music gets all epic once Morgan Freeman's name appears

[@Bimfirestarter]

Snap - I just realized on reading yer remark then watching it - the video is outta sync. That 'epic' part in the music's supposed to happen when the film title appears.

[@Bimfirestarter]

This one's properly synced. I remember seeing this for the first time on VHS as a kid. One of my all-time favourite intros/movies. Music stuck with me ever since. Found the Expanded Soundtrack only today! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn-5nH2XotZ-kKs

[@tubekulose]

It has always been a great paradox to me: An Anglo-Saxon hero presented by using a tapestry showing the Norman victory! Never the less I love the music...

[@jasminekelland3392]

+Clemens Kindermann lolol!

[@johntomico]

+Clemens Kindermann Didn't this film take place shortly after the Norman Conquest? An Anglo-Saxon hero volunteering to go overseas and fight for a Norman King is equally paradoxical.

[@tubekulose]

johntomico Good point! ;-)

[@Dumpstermuffin1]

Robin Hood would of taken place during the reign of King John which was like 100 years after the normen conquest. I think they use the tapestry in the intro because it sets the scene and because the tapestry shows heroics much like the movie

[@AmandaFromWisconsin]

Richard I and John and the whole Plantagenet dynasty were descended from the Norman invaders depicted on that tapestry, so maybe that was why they showed it in the beginning. (?)

[@keithcollins3284]

I still remember being 8 years old and we got this video from Blockbuster over Thanksgiving and this opening had me going wow as a child...it's the stuff that sticks with you man! great song.

[@brianlaneherder3666]

I'm imagining skeptical Englishmen suspiciously watching this latest American iteration of Robin Hood for the first time: "Well ... they're doing the whole intro with the Bayeux tapestry, good choice there ... very respectful of Anglo-Norman history .... music is pretty good .... so far everything has a nice 12th-century feel to it .... I dunno .... maybe America really did it this time?!?!" *Kevin Costner shows up* "NOOOO!!!!"

As a late 2000’s kid, I was watching the movie in a classroom and when (1:47) played, I was like, “DA FUDGE???” and stared at some of my classmates to see if they’re also confused as heck. Some muttered and whispered so I assume they also got the joke too. 😆

I would like to have a flying DeLorean and go live in the Middle Ages. I have been obsessed with the Middle Ages since I was a child, when I first watched "The sword in the stone"

[@simbax2006]

I watched this film again last night and during the intro i was thinking, the music there sounds a lot like the intro of "From the Earth to the moon" and also reminded me to the Band of Brother's scene "when the planes take off to Normandy", and after reading turned out is the same composer. Nice to know my ears are not too wrong. :)

[@kristianb2215]

E. g. 'A Way of Life' (H. Zimmer, Last Samurai OST) is at least as great as this song. There are a dozen better epic sword warrior movies then this - the ones with white heroes: Merlin 1998 (Steve Barron); Braveheart; The 13th warrior; King Arthur 2004 (Fuqua); Alexander the Great (Oliver Stone); and maybe the bests IN STORY: Earthsea miniseries (by Ursula K. Le Guin's story), Kingdom of Heaven (R. Scott), and The Princess Bride (by William Goldman's script and novel).

[@squamish4244]

Darkwing Dork I was hoping someone else brought that up, someone said that the Bayeux Tapestry was just thrown in there because it's a famous medieval document, but that seems like too much of a coincidence. When I first saw the movie I certainly thought it was an effective way to comment on Saxon-Norman tensions I had come across in the legend.

[@russellsugden]

Great sound track. Of course the Tapestry depicts the Norman French conquest of the Germanic/Nordic Kingdom of Anglo-Saxons over 100 years before the Robin Hood legend It's setting the scence of a country made into slaves (serfs) by the conquest. Robin Hood (who didn't exsist) is symbolic of resistance to the Norman aristocrats by the native germanic people england. It's pure guff but reminds the english who were are and who the country's "nobles" really are
