The little guy and his merry band of men, struck a cord with all and has never let go. he's been done by everyone from Costner to Disney. With multiple movies, tv shows, stories, etc. Robin Hood has sure made out okay for himself. Heck, with all the royalties he should be able to feed the poor across the planet. Robin Hood is also said to be based off a real band of outlaws. Think there is any truth to that? Have a favorite Robin Hood version?
He sure knew what to do with an arrow
ReplyDeleteI have seen a few of the Robin Hood shows and liked them all, although I do really like Kevin.
ReplyDeletecurrent fav is the Arrow tv series....about the comic character green arrow.....def a rich story as it is oft repeated...
ReplyDeleteIt takes a lot of confidence to pull off those tights for sure!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's difficult to resist a man in tight pants, be it in the woods or ski jumping. I recently saw a new Robin film on TV. Don't know the name but I sat through the whole movie and it wasn't very good.
ReplyDeleteNow he is Robin the Hood. He keeps company with the Mafia. He's still with a band of men. But he gets to keep whatever they lay their hands on! I wonder if there's such a modern version! Nicely!

Errol FLynn! It was fun when the first Pirates movie came out along with LotR that they guy who used to choreograph the fight scenes for Flynn's movies was able to do those. So entertaining to watch.
ReplyDeleteheroes in tights is my favourite one!
ReplyDeleteMaybe some truth in the Robin Hood legend but people just love criminals with a heart of gold so maybe the real guy just did something like throw a few coins on the ground when he galloped...rode...walked...trod into town.
ReplyDeleteEverybody and their brother has used this theme or a slight variation on it. Sons of Anarchy comes to mind.
I think there may be truth to the Robin Hood legend. If there was such a real life character, I bet he was quite a terror!

ReplyDeleteI haven't seen too many Robin Hood shows, but I do like the one with Kevin Costner!
ReplyDeleteKevin Costner one was the best I've seen
ReplyDeleteI love Robin Hood and I seen a lot of movies but I dont remember someones especially but always enjoyed:)
ReplyDeleteThe Kevin Costner version was my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI think it's about time for another Robin Hood reboot. Russell Crowe was just too OLD. Otherwise, that one was pretty good, but it seemed like more of a prequel to the real Robin Hood story. Have you read Stephen Lawhead's trilogy?
ReplyDeleteEveryone makes fun of me but the Kevin Costner version is one of my all-time favorite movies, hands down.
