When it came out, I read something about Patrick Bergen ACTUALLY SPLITTING an ARROW on the target during practice. I would love to know whether there were any eyewitnesses to this, because the Mythbusters busted that idea recently and I was just crestfallen. (Is that a pun? it should be).
Lexie, if you're out there anywhere, ask your dad.
I remember seeing the movie when it came out on TV and really did like it. It was refreshing to see the Middle Ages looking worn down at the heels rather than the usual polyester Technicolor Court Jester look. The peasants benefited from the recent release of Monty Python and the Holy Grail in that they really did look like they had s... all over them. Bergin's moustache is an unfortunate artifact of Hollywood costuming, but it's no worse than Flynn's wig in the 1939 version (which was utterly splendid in its own way) (I mean the movie, not the wig) (Did you know that Flynn was a descendant of Fletcher Christian?). And one of the funniest things I've ever seen: Uma Thurman, "Diguised as a Boy". That's like saying you can disguise a raven as a writing desk... there's really no confusing the two.
In terms of comparison, Flynn's a 10, Bergen's a 7, Costner's a 3 for this role.
But if I had to choose between Basil Rathbone and Alan Rickman... oh, Lord, can't I just have them both? purrr.
