Trivia:

Goofs:
Errors in geography: When Robin and Azeem arrive in Dover, Robin says we will be dining with my father by nightfall. Nottingham is over 170 miles from Dover. Robin then makes an extravagant detour via the "Robin Hood" gap in Hadrian's Wall (approximately 120 miles north of Nottingham) before heading south again; making a rather unlikely journey total of more than 400 miles in under a day. more

great movie.... don't say the opposite!, 3 November 2006
10/10
Author: newyorklady85 from Italy

hey guys! I'm a student and i have an assignment to do for the university: it is named the film project. i chose robin hood - prince of thieves as my assignment, so i had to watch it over and over again... you know what? i never get tired of it! it is brilliant, it is easy watching, but it is also a little masterpiece! only Kevin Costner could act with American accent as robin hood (who is English) and, after all, being convincing and absolutely perfect! or Azeem, a gorgeous Morgan freeman, who cares he's too modern, he's great anyway. in other words, the whole film work! whats the matter so? any anachronism? which movie doesn't have any anachronism? Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio (beautiful and excellent ) has got the make up? who cares! the movie is fantastic anyway....

I'm gonna challenge anyone who says the opposite!
