ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES (1991) TWIN BROTHERS FIRST TIME WATCHING MOVIE REACTION!

[@antoinesandoval]

This movie wouldn't have worked with any other actor playing the Sheriff.

[@virginianoone9395]

Kevin Costner gets a lot of flack for this role because of his accent and such, but this is STILL my favorite Robin Hood live action movie. It's over the top, it has lots of cheese, takes itself too seriously sometimes, and yet... somehow it all works. It's a really fun and wonderful movie, even with its flaws.

[@Rmlohner]

We have no idea what a British accent sounded like at the time, anyway.

[@ericlewisauthor]

@@Rmlohner It didn't sound like any of the other actors in this movies, that's for damn sure.

[@Mugthraka]

AS a Belgian guy, so someone who saw the movie as a kid dubbed in French, i really had no qualms with his accent or whatever. To me , and even to this day, it is one of the best movies of my childhood.

Best Robin Hood film, without a doubt. Unusual one to react to, but I’m glad you have 🙂 This Alan Rickman performance usually gets overlooked when people go through his career. “I’m gonna cut your heart out with a spoon” is an amazing line. The theme song “Everything I Do” was Number 1 in the UK charts for like 16 weeks in a row

[@samuelvincent557]

There were so many quotable lines from this movie. The two that my friends and I used a lot were, "Fuck me! He cleared it!" And, "You whine like a mule. You are still alive." Morgan Freeman gave such a good performance here.

[@paulhewes7333]

for the record, "WTF!!!???" was the audiences' reaction in theaters when Connery showed up...

[@jp3813]

Many are recommending Disney's Three Musketeers (1993), and one thing I'll add in support of that is you'll also love the music since it's scored by Michael Kamen as well.

[@kellyp136]

I give Kevin Costner a break on this movie. He only had three days break between finishing filming Dances with Wolves and starting filming on this movie. He asked the producers for more time off and they said no. So he had no time to prepare or perfect an accent. He did the best that he could.

[@k.delpino1124]

Didn't know that. Only 3 days break?! That's crazy.

[@CraigMcfly1985]

That was nuts.

[@annieromo74]

I didn’t know this! He sure did! And it seems no one caught the “on & off” accent of Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio (Maid Marion). But BOTH actors were perfect in their roles. As was Kevin in “Dances with Wolves”. Also, both Kevin & Mary Elizabeth are two of my favorite actors. Thanks for the info! And thanks for reading. 😊

The reverent sounding""Alan Rickman" when he took his mask off 👍

[@matthewhoward-white463]

The Sean Connery cameo is there for a couple of reasons. Number 1, King Richard "The Lionheart" is quite a beloved monarch in English history, so having someone with gravitas makes sense. And 2 (and probably more appropriate), he's also played Robin Hood before, so it was a bit of a "passing the torch" moment. Great reaction fellas, one of my all time fav childhood movies.

[@joehoy9242]

Also worth remembering that it was working with Kevin Costner that won Connery an Oscar.

[@itubeutubewealltube1]

the movie was "robin and marian" about fifteen years earlier with audrey hepburn as marian

[@georgeprchal3924]

Which is ironic since he was a terrible king and absolutely despised England and the English.

[@ruthafritap]

3. Sean Connery was really fond of Costner when they did The Untouchables. They became friends, also probably why he agreed to the cameo.

[@bikerkermit]

You mentioned the soundtrack, it was composed by Michael Kamen, who also composed the Highlander soundtrack (amongst others). It's also worth pointing out that the tree that Wolf climbs to escape Guisbourne's troops has now been cut down by an "unknown person(s)"- it had stood there in Sycamore Gap on Hadrian's Wall for decades until then...tragic

[@TheRealRodent]

Came out when I was around 9 years old and singlehandedly the best Robin Hood movie ever made. This movie changed the industry forever, and made a star of both Costner and Bryan Adams with the theme. Ok, Costner gets jip for the accent, but I love him in this role. It's also a childhood memory sitting with my sister watching this on VHS. What I love is they don't shy from the nasty side of the times with pestilence and brutality, but at the same time managed to make a swashbuckler that is memorable and quotable. One of the best movies ever made, and based on what started as a handful of incomplete poems that probably never actually happened. There's also a few different versions of this film, some cut out Mortiana's relationship with Nottingham, and some don't. Edit: I think what makes the American accent work, is that they had Will Scarlett have an American accent as well.

[@joemckim1183]

Plus this movie has the best parody of it ever also, Men in Tights was a great parody of this movie.

[@MrTommygunz420]

@@joemckim1183yeah they absolutely busted Costner's accent in Men in Tights; one of the best jokes of the film😂

[@richlisola1]

You guys hit on something telling to the story, which I missed. The contrast between Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham was clear throughout the movie. Robin a Christian, the Sheriff an Occultist, Robin a trustworthy subject of England’s king, the Sheriff a disloyal usurper-But the one I missed which you guys highlighted, was their inverse attitudes towards family. The sherif killed his cousin, and Robin was overjoyed to find out he had a brother. That says it all.

[@suokkis]

It's a well made 90s medieval lore movie. Another one that is like this is the Three Musketeers from 1993, starring Kiefer Sutherland, Tim Curry etc. The actor(Michael Wincott) who played the Sheriff's cousin, Guy of Gisborne in this is also in that movie, where he plays the secondary villain next to Tim Curry's excellent performance of Cardinal Richelieu, Captain Rochefort. Another movie based on literature where Wincott also appear is the Count of Monte Cristo (2002). Wincott plays alot of villain roles in movies, he is also in The Crow, Along Came a Spider and Metro. He has also VA'd in video games, Halo 2 where he is the voice of the Prophet of Truth and Darksiders 2 where he voices the main character, Horseman Death.

[@VBSuper]

Although short, he was also in Alien Resurrection. "Sure, son, I'll give you my authorization code. It's E A T M E." Such a cool line.

[@WitchKing813]

Oh excellent movie, Tim Curry, another one who plays a great villain. His take on IT scarred me for life, still freaks me out to this day, whereas the new one I find cute and not at all scary

[@mjfreaklove]

You forgot to mention his brilliant performance in Alien:Resurrection.

[@MrDeadhead83]

Another song collaboration by Michael Kamen and Brian Adams (along with Sting and Rod Stewart)

[@JamesASharp]

This film is the greatest Robin Hood movie ever made. And Hollywood either can't or refuses to learn from this movie in order to duplicate its success. Great reaction bros! 👍🏿

[@jlerrickson]

The reverence with which you both treated Alan Rickman's appearance was absolutely perfect and appropriate.

[@Mugthraka]

WHat i love is that Rickman interpretation of the Sheriff is brilliant. Morgan's and Costner banter and duo is amazing, but Rickman's gave its A game and made the Sheriff so memorable.

[@darthroden]

After Diehard, this was the movie that cemented Alan Rickman as a major movie villain character. His performance as an over-the-top bad guy where he can do from being silly (cancelling Christmas) to deadly evil is classic. He's basically the male version of Malificent in the original Disney's Sleeping Beauty.

[@Cau_No]

I really prefer his performance of Hans Gruber (one of the most intriguing villains) much over this one. Gruber was menacing, intelligent, and for most of the time had the upper hand in te plot. The Sheriff however was a goofy, bumbling kind of comic book villain. The "And call off Christmas!" line did it for me, I couldn't take that character serious ever again. I didn't follow the Harry Potter franchise much, so my favourite parts Alan did after "Die Hard" were in "Dogma", "Galaxy Quest" and a little detective movie named "January Man" with Kevin Kline and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio (who played Maid Marian in this one.)

[@wichhouse]

@@Cau_No How is Hans Gruber one of the most intriguing villains? I like Die Hard, and Rickman's performance, but I don't get much depth out of that character. Genuinely curious.

[@Cau_No]

@@wichhouse Just read the sentence after the one you quoted, there I already explained why I liked him better as a character. The Sheriff wasn't a believable threat to the hero, but Gruber was, all the time. My favorite depictions of villains in movies are Hans Gruber (Die Hard), Agent Smith (The Matrix), Hans Landa (Inglorious Basterds). To me they were the most convincing and you get to understand their motivations (without condoning their actions).

[@wichhouse]

@@Cau_No Thanks for the reply.

[@earthien]

Fun Fact: In the extended version, it is revealed that the Witch is Nottingham's MOTHER.

[@capnovan]

This movie had it all.... Morgan Freeman, Alan Rickman cancelling Christmas

[@embran8486]

of course Gisburne is equally great as the Sheriff. He´s played by Michael Wincott who you guys saw as the main villain in The Crow and hopefully as Rochefort, the second-in-command of Cardinal Richelieu (Tim Curry!) in Disney 1993 The Three Musketeers.

[@eighthdoctor]

IIRC the guys will have also seen him as the prison warden in the Jim Caviezel/Guy Pearce adaptation of _The Count of Monte Cristo._

[@carlossaraiva8213]

He was also in "1492: Conquest Of Paradise".

[@CarynWaller]

Some fascinating facts and trivia for you: The tree scene at the beginning is the "sycamore gap tree" in Northumberland. The wall next to the tree is Hadrian's wall (73 miles long and built in 122AD.) It's known as one of the most photographed trees in UK. The fight scene with Little John is at Aysgarth falls in Leyburn, in the Yorkshire Dales, another stunning location. Alan Rickman was given opportunities by Director Kevin Reynolds to add to the script. The infamous line "You. My room, 10.30,' you, 10.45, and bring a friend" he created by asking for input from writer Peter Barnes and comedienne Ruby Wax. He knew these lines were working when all the crew started cracking up. The witch was played by Geraldine McEwan who is such a brilliant actress, she's very famous for playing Miss Marple for several years and that character could not be more different from Mortianna. Kevin Costner only had 3 days break between finishing Dancing with Wolves and starting this movie, so we can cut him some slack for accents which were a bit dodgy all round to be honest, apart from Alan Rickman, steal scening god. Who cares about accents when a movie is this fun and good. Glad you enjoyed it.

Lady Marian was played by Mary Mastrantonio, who was Mrs. Brigman in 'The Abyss'. Will Scarlett was played by Christian Slater. A movie he's in I'd recommend is 'Pump Up the Volume' (1990). Guy Gisborne was played by Michael Wincott, who was Top Dollar in 'The Crow' Now that you've seen this, I'd suggest 'The Duelists' (1977), 'The Three Musketeers' (1993), starring Charlie Sheen and Tim Curry; and if you'd like something even more wild, 'Brotherhood of The Wolf' (2001).

[@irishfan2581]

Micheal Wincott plays the Sherrifs cousin. He's great in The Three Musketeers also, 1993 version with Kiefer Sutherland, Chris O'Donnell, Oliver Platt, and Xharlie Sheen. Tim Curry plays a great main villain. You guys should watch that one.

GREAT REACTION!! This has ALWAYS been one of my all time favorite movies. I am SO glad you reacted to it! Another favorite movie of mine (also starring Kevin Costner) is "The Postman". It never seemed to get much attention, but the way it tells a story about an ordinary man who is forced by circumstances to become a hero is similar to "Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves". It is truly an epic tale (and it also has a GREAT music soundtrack). I would LOVE to see you react to it.

Fun facts, the guy that played Nottingham's cousin is the same actor that played the villain in The Crow.

Edit: just taken straight from Wikipedia The song was an enormous chart success internationally, reaching the number-one position on the music charts of at least nineteen countries, notable exceptions in the Western World being Italy (number three) and Spain (number four). It is particularly notable for its success in the United Kingdom, where it spent sixteen consecutive weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart, the longest uninterrupted run ever on that chart as of 2023. It also topped the Europe-wide sales chart for eighteen continuous weeks. In the United States, it topped the Billboard Hot 100, which combines radio airplay and sales, for seven weeks, but stayed at number one for seventeen consecutive weeks on the sales-only chart.[3] It went on to sell more than 15 million copies worldwide, making it Adams's most successful song, and one of the best-selling singles of all time.

Great film and so is the Russell Crowe one ............ but my favourite is "Robin and Marion" starring Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn with all of the characters much older - the Sheriff is played by Robert Shaw [Quint from Jaws]

This movie is just great 90s cheese. I remember loving this movie as a kid. "Because it's dull you twit it'll hurt more!' lol

[@nessaarandur7740]

I don't know if you recognised the Sherrif's Number 2 as the villain in The Crow. That's one movie where he played the main villain to the T!

"A snake on a plate?" Snakes On A Plate is the sequel.

Planes weren't a thing yet.

2 titbits 1. There was a Robin Hood TV movie in the works at the same time as this one. Among other good actors they had Uma Thurman as Maid Marian. In the middle of filming they got word that Kevin Costner's Robin Hood was in the works. I've seen it and it starts out well, but at some point it looks like everyone, from the director and the actors simply gave up and only went through the motions. No TV production could live up to a major Hollywood production and with both coming out in the same year their movie was doomed. 2. This was the last really successfully Robin Hood movie. Interestingly every Robin Hood movie afterwards (not counting Men in Tights) went further and further away from the original legend and the characters became less and less recognizable. Until the one from 2018, which most people don't even remember. The historical inconsistencies were so bad that even people that usually ignore such details couldn't stand them and the characters have become unrecognizable. Or so I heard.

I was excited to see your reaction to this! For me it’s the perfect popcorn movie-a well told story, swashbuckling action, stunning cinematography and characters you care about. It’s a simple formula that works because the filmmakers did it well. Thanks for watching it!

This movie and waterworld are awesome. Those 2 movies and the tv film Merlin (with Sam Neil) are movies me and my cousins watched with my grandma all the time growing up.

I was in Jr. High when this movie came out and our band at school did a rendition of the main title theme from this movie and it was one of the most enjoyable things to play. I was on the timpani (big kettle drums) and the climax of the theme had some really challenging stuff. It's a totally rousing piece and it made me happy that you guys recognized it. I feel like movie scores haven't been like this in a very long time.

[@gregslone4874]

Yes we all had the same reaction at Sean Connery's entrance in the theaters. There was a kind of collective gasp among the audience.

[@bryanparker2925]

If you guys haven’t see. The movies “Red” and “Red 2”, I think you would like them . Good cast

[@danielallen3454]

My grandfather took me to see this one. One of the few films we saw together in theaters. We had a great time. This is one of the moist entertaining movies of the decade. And, yeah, seeing this in theaters, after the experience you just had, and suddenly Sean Connery pops up out of nowhere . . . You could *hear* peoples jaws hitting the floor.

I read somewhere too that Connery took his appearance fee and donated it to charity too, which I thought was nice of him.

[@aaroncollins6411]

Connery got 1.2 million pounds for 2.5 minutes of screen time. And he donated it ALL to charity!

[@jessodum3103]

As someone who also appreciates movie scores and soundtracks, I love that you guys pay attention to that while watching movies.

[@ladyanime100]

YES! This was my Robin Hood growing up. The best one
