- From Drew Taylor's review of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves Bluray from High-Def Digest

THIS IS SO FUNNY. It's a cheesy prime time making of special (remember when they used to have these? Oh, the early-'90's) hosted by an incredibly hammy Pierce Brosnan, who is wearing an entirely black outfit at night so he looks like his disembodied head from 'Mars Attacks!' Oh man. Pure masturbatory marketing ("the most anticipated movie of the year?" Pssshaw) but my how it does it take me back.
I loved this film so much as a 15 year girl, I named a horse I rescued after Robin. Michael Kamen's Score is for me, one of the greatest. Love, hope, honor, courage, adventure, and a brilliant villain - it's just a great movie.
What a great time. The early 90’s
Kevin Kostner is good,Russel Crowe is good,Douglas Fairbanks was good,but I think Errol Flynn was best. Few swashbucklers can approach Flynn's charisma on screen or off.
By far one of the funniest videos ever...Pierce Brosnan is LOL hilarious...but even more funny, is that he isn't trying to be :)
Jesse Mast alcohol or drugs.
I saw this when it was first aired, and I thought it was tongue in cheek at the time. He wasn't in a great mood with how his career was going and was dealing with his wife's illness.
It is like an Alan Partridge sketch.
Pierce was great in this I think he was being cheeky@@winnieclark1654
The best Robin Hood adaptation ever
'peak Alan Partridge' - Nah... Peak BRONHOM. Wonderful stuff narrated the mercurial PB.
Well maybe you shouldn't be liiiiviiing heeeeeere!!!
Largely intended for a US audience I would think, although Brosnan comes across like it's Hamlet in Stratford complete with the nod of the head and those pregnant pauses. I hope someone bought him a box of Jacobs to go with all that cheese.
This is Brosnan turned up to 11.
Brosnan would have made an excellent Robin Hood back in his younger days.
What I especially love about this is that Pierce Brosnan’s pieces to camera were filmed at Arundel Castle, which is in a completely different part of the country to Nottingham
And he keeps slipping into a high brow English accent, when he is in fact Irish. Really this needed Roger Moore, Brian Cox or maybe Brian Blessed.
@@Spartanm333 yeah but you gotta love Pierce LOL
Pierce was born in Ireland but he eventually went to England I believe when his mother had made enough money to send for him@@Spartanm333
This is Spinal Tap good.
watching this video makes me realize that pierce brosnan would have made a perfect Robin hood
Sir James Holt.
Cambridge University.
I was fine until the audio edit at 28:58 when the "n" gets left in before the gap is added for (unnecessary) emphasis.
Mind you, that is the least unnecessary thing about this film #PartridgeMeetsGarthMerenghi
R.I.P Alan Rickman & Jack Wild.
They both died of Cancer.
Why did Brosnan dress like that? 😂
Because it was 1991
R.I.P Alan Rickman & Jack Wild.
Oh my god. I had this memory of pierce brosnan talking about Robin Hood. Used to tell my friends when he was James bond. Do you remember him doing some documentary about Robin Hood and he was way over the top then I used to think did I dream that up.
No i didn't here it is
Music:Michael Kamen(1991)
Lyrics:Jack Feldman
The modern Robin Hood character is an amalgation and the end result of a long story tradition. But the "real" Robin can be searched for in two ways; either by name, in which case we can see that there were several characters with the similar nick name, or by the settings of the early ballads (The Monk, The Potter, A Gest and The Sheriff), leaving only Robert Hode of Wakefield who lived in Barnsdale at the era of the three King Edwards and the High Sheriff Fauconberg. Unfortunately, many familiar elements such as Sherwood, Maid Marian, Friar Tuck, King Richard, Prince John, Robin's nobility and the iconic "giving money to the poor" are missing from the early ballads because these are later additions and changes to the legend.
Fun fact: The so-called "Robin Hood hat", or the bycocket, became a popular fashion trend of the nobility, merchants, yeomans and foresters in the 14th century.
The documentary doesn’t even deliver on what it promises at the start
Also it's about time Morgan creek released this movie on Sony 4k blu Ray maybe even as a collectors set like what they recently done with flash gordon
5:20 And yet even if he was in England, he only spoke French and didn’t give a damn about the country that he was the king of. He only cared about the title. He even try to sell London at one point.
i recall watching this aswell back in the day before the movie came out.
this is what is missing today
This is GOLD :)
Anyone know if this documentary is featured on the dvd or blu Ray?
Yes I have it on the extended edition dvd that came out around 2003

In Medival Periods, lots of people became so ill!
So little beauty in the world!, so much suffering!
Many people died very young.
In Medieval times life expectancy was very low and was only 36 to 38 years. Most people in medieval times only lived to 36 to 38 years old.
Which is also the reason why people in medieval times had to get married and had to start having children at early young ages. Most women in medieval times got married and started having children when they were 14 and 15 years old and most men in medieval times got married and started having children when they were 16 and 17 years old.
A lot of women in medieval times got married and started having children as early and as young as 12 and 13 years old and a lot of men in medieval times got married and started having children as early and as young as 14 and 15 years old. 18 years old was the oldest age women in medieval times got married and started having children and 20 years old was the oldest age that men in medieval times got married and started having children.
