Someone actually watching the Kevin Costner Robin Hood movie before blindly jumping to a Mel Brooks parody of a movie they’ve never seen?! This is why you’re a maverick James.
43:51 You need to! We go fairly often, because we live within an hour from it. Each weekend is a different theme for the 8 weeks it runs. It’s surrounded by large pine trees, which helps add to the feel. This year is the 49th anniversary and we’re actually planning on going before Thanksgiving (theme: Highland Fling) now that it’s not hellaciously hot, lol. The last weekend is always Christmas themed. This was actually my first Alan Rickman movie, since Die Hard was before my time. He’ll always be the Sheriff of Nottingham first, then Hans Gruber. I’m so glad you enjoyed this 90s classic.
Ditto, including Morgan Freeman and Christian Slater. I can’t remember if I already knew MSM from The Abyss or if it was this. Side note: I knew Michael Biehn from The Abyss before Terminator and Aliens, so it was hard seeing him as the good guy when I finally saw those, lol
Yes! The next movie should be "Robin Hood, Men In Tights". The 1 actor you didn't recognize is Christian Slater. Watch "True Romance" and "Interview With the Vampire."
the sycamore tree the kid climbs up was recently cut down by a 16 year old kid just for the sake of vandalism. The tree was britains most photographed tree and the area was known as sycamore gap.
That was so disgusting, but a real symbol of what’s wrong with this world. No respect for anyone or anything. If anyone ever deserved to be locked up, or worse, for vandalism, it’s that kid.
Yeah watched this movie many times as a child in the 90’s and I loved that tree. Was one of my favorite parts. I was quite mad when I saw that article about the Tree.
Not to be pedantic, but as my BA is in Medieval and Renaissance history, this is a Medieval tale, not a Renaissance tale. King Richard at the end is Richard Lion Heart, who returned to England in 1194. The Renaissance period started in different countries at different times but was generally around 1500
Thank you for saving me the time typing out similar. It made my eye twitch when he said it (but I get it...not everyone knows the same things and people are allowed not to know things)
Sir Thomas Sean Connery (born Thomas Connery; 25 August 1930 - 31 October 2020) was a Scottish actor. He was the first actor to portray fictional British secret agent James Bond on film, starring in seven Bond films between 1962 and 1983. He has had movie rolls in Robin Hood, Prince of thieves The Rock with Nicolas Cage, the third Indiana Jones movie with Harrison Ford the league of extraordinary gentlemen, and the list goes on. When he came on the picture and you said it’s the king I said you’re damn right it’s the king lol Sean Connery was the goat.
I absolutely love it when you watch movies that take their stories from novels that you've read. Its a different kind of reaction when you know one version of the story and see a movie that either does similar things or different things
RIP Sycamore Gap Tree So recently this year a 16 y/o cut down the tree that is featured when Robin first gets back to England and fights the men for the Little Johns son.
You should watch The 13th Warrior. It's a fantastic period movie that got buried when it was released because there were a bunch of HUGE movies that came out around the same time. If you liked this one you'll love it!
The combination of 'revived public domain property with a hit song and villainous Michael Wincott' is also applied to great success in the 90's Three Musketeers, with Keifer Sutherland and Charlie Sheen.
7:43 - "No! Don't chop down the tree." - Sadly, somebody did chop down that specific tree, a month or so ago. It was one of the most famous trees in England, situated right next to Hadrian's Wall. They blamed it on a 16 year-old, which I still don't buy. Personally I think it got felled by a local who was getting annoyed at the amount of Instagram tourists it attracted. Overtourism can be a burden on a region, but that doesn't excuse chopping down such an iconic tree.
Ironically, some people recently cut down the tree that the kid climbs up at the beginning. Four ended up being arrested over it. Never found out what their motivation was. The wall next to the tree was damaged when the tree fell. The wall is 2000 years old from the time the Romans were in England and is a UNESCO Heritage site. They're currently trying to harvest sprouts from the stump so that they might be able to grow another one in it's place.
It wasn't improv per se as much as a decision that fell on the day of filming. One of the Producers who also was one of the writers suggested it. So it was more like a last Minute decision than an ad-lip [source: official audio commentary of the film]
Fun fact: Kevin Costner was preparing to take lessons to get the proper accent down, but ended up with only a few days between dancing with wolves and this movie filming. He attempted the accent but they decided it was so bad he should go without.
One of my favorite movies, very fun to watch. Great casting, and Alan Rickman is always my favorite character. Thanks for reacting to this. Other great movies that Morgan Freeman is in, are "Driving Miss Daisy" and "Million Dollar Baby".
I saw this in the theater when it came out. Nobody knew Sean Connery was in the film until the wedding scene. Everyone in the theater cheered when King Richard showed up.
Alan Rickman not really liking his lines rewrote them with some friends. Iconic lines like "You. My room. 10:30 tonight. You. 10:45... And bring a friend." were not in the script. He was given free reign with his role and litteraly was stealing the show from the main character! Amazing actor... with and an amazing voice!
@@AwesomeUSMovies As you are a bookworm (same as me😉) I would recommend another of his movies Sense and Sensibility - considered as one of the best adaptations of the book - with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet - on your radar. And, another stunning gentle emotional, while surprisingly funny movie - Snowcake. The main role was especially written for Alan Rickman and he not only suggested Sigourney Weaver as his co-star but brought her aboard. The two are practically carrying the whole movie in roles that are complete opposites to what we are used to see them in (I would never imagine Sigourney in that role!) and both are killing their parts!
Oh how I wish that was true. I'm horrible just horrible with names. I've actually be working with the Patreon members to create a Actor/Director database for my channel to help keep track.
The tree in this movie was demolished by some idiots. The english people are angry on that! And so am i who is swedish! IDIOT people that destroy. Great reaction James! One of my favourite movies actually
Love this movie! It was a box office success, making $390 million dollars against a $48 million dollar budget, making it one of the highest grossing movies of 1991. Reception was mixed as some enjoyed the action scenes, while others disliked the darker, violent, and more mature aspect of the Robin Hood story.
Azim.. was not talking about caesarean. He was referring to an Episiotomy: cut to the vaginal wall to enlarge opening. Episiotomy, also known as perineotomy, is a surgical incision of the perineum and the posterior vaginal wall generally done by a midwife or obstetrician. This is usually performed during second stage of labor to quickly enlarge the aperture allowing the baby to pass through. The incision, which can be done from the posterior midline of the vulva straight toward the anus or at an angle to the right or left (medio-lateral episiotomy), is performed under local anesthetic (pudendal anesthesia), and is sutured after delivery.
Thanks for this info! I never realized this, but it makes much more sense. A cesarean would have been so risky and painful and she certainly wouldn't have been up and moving around so soon after.
Morgan Freeman has such an extensive library of movies but most of them he's in a supporting role. Driving Miss Daisy, Seven and the Bucket List are all movies worth checking out and all are very different types. By the way, Sean Connery was the first James Bond.
This was a few hundred years before the Renaissance... but... uh... yeah... the sets certainly do look like a Renn Fair, don't they? Maybe they should rename Renn Fairs to Dark Ages Fairs or Medieval Faires... I don't think I've ever been to one where they were set up to resemble 14th century Florence. Though, on the other hand, the jousting events they almost always feature were popular during Renaissance-era Norman England.
If you'd like to see a laugh-a-minute film where Alan Rickman really lets himself loose, I highly recommend The Search for John Gissing. It's one of my favorites in his catalog. After you see Men In Tights, of course.
I went to the cinema with my dad to watch this,... this was a family favourite in my home.... Sad to see the tree in the wall after it was vandalised last month...
I'm so glad you watched this before Men in Tights! Too many reactors go straight for the latter and miss the entire point. I love this movie! 😄 It's ridiculed a lot, but it's also one of the most iconic movies of the 90s. Absolute classic. It's fun, action-packed, and emotionally touching from start to finish.
Fun fact: Kevin Costner was preparing to take lessons to get the proper accent down, but ended up with only a few days between dancing with wolves and this movie filming. He attempted the accent but they decided it was so bad he should go without.
If you are interested in other Kevin Costner movies, I'd like to recommend The Postman (1997) and Waterworld (1995) as two examples of Costner's grand-scale work after Dances With Wolves (1991). I would classify The Postman and Waterworld in the post-apocalyptic genre, whereas Dances With Wolves would be classified as historical fiction.
I know this movie may not be historically accurate, and it may not be accurate to the real myths and legends of Robin Hood, but I really love it. This movie is just so much fun.
Excellent. Now that youve watched this you can watch Robin hood men in tights. the comedic parody of this and one of the funniest movies ever made in human history
The one you thought was Filch from Harry Potter is not. Duncan was played by Walter Sparrow, who passed in 2000. Other movies he was in at this time was The Secret Garden, and my favorite, Ever After.
My Favorite Robin Hood! Kevin Costner Christian Slater Morgan Freeman & the late legend Alan Rickman in one of his BEST rolls❤ My husband prefers the Russell Crowe version with Cate Blanchett... Great Reaction as Always James... Also the Bryan Adam's song Everything I Do from this movie is Amazing ❤
Alan Rickman is excellent no doubt however both of you are wrong the Patrick Bergin Uma Thurman version is the best released the same year as prince of thieves.
Another Kevin Costner movie “Dances with wolves” &. “The bodyguard”; Sean Connery in the movie “The Rock” & “The untouchables”. This was a great movie! Nice reaction!!
Ya know, I have a friend who's actually from Nottingham and yes, he has brought up Robin Hood in conversation many times. MANY TIMES! 🤨 It's okay. I forgive him. Because he's adorable! 😀
This is a good movie but because of the actors and soundtrack it overshadowed the best and probably most historically accurate Hood film that was released the same year with Uma Thurman as Marion. Although theres no denying that Rickman is an absolute force of nature in this version.
I loved the soundtrack in this movie especially the Bryan Adams song, Everything I Do. You definitely need to watch some more Sean Connery movies First Knight, Indiana Jones 3, The Rock,and of course some James Bond movies😊
This was a good pick for a mythology movie. Other good picks for that would be Dragonheart (1986) Reign of Fire (2002) Highlander (1986) Conan the Barbarian (1982) And an extra suggestion for you the movie Renaissance Man (1994)
COOL REACTIONS! I could've been a Bookworm, the only Book I ever read all the way was "The Outsiders" then watched the Movie after reading the Book in School a long time ago, I'm 37. This Movie was a Favorite of mine as a kid, then "ROBIN HOOD MEN IN TIGHTS" WAS FUNNIER! ROCK ON!
35:46 It's saltpeter. But, more scientifically It's called potassium nitrate. I was an Aviation Ordnanceman for 8 years on the LHD-3 USS Kearsarge. I know about explosives.
Another incredible Kevin Costner movie is Dances with Wolves. I love this movie but Dances with Wolves is ten times better. Definitely worth a watch! For another great Morgan Freeman movie, watch Glory, which is based on a true story. Incredible movie and mostly forgotten 🥰
So glad you watched this movie, it’s in my all time top 10 movies. Sean Connery probably the most famous actor in this film. You saw him as Indiana Jones’ father in Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade. Has done so many good movies. One of his best is “The Rock” with Nicolas Cage, a great action movie to check out! Keep your great content coming!
Have you ever watched "A Time to kill"? The movie based on the book by John Grisham. It"s one of my favorite movies with Matthew McConaughey and Samuel L. Jackson.
@@AwesomeUSMovies then you should absolutely put one movie from each of the actors who played Bond on your list to watch! All worth it, especially if you have read any of Ian Fleming’s stories about the character.
Thanks for reacting to this. I almost didn't watch as mostly what I remember from this was how horrible Kevin Costner's accent was. Why did he even bother? His hair was equally as bad. That being said, I'd forgotten about the stupendous job Alan Rickman did. At the time I thought he deserved an Oscar for that performance (and still do!)
Someone actually watching the Kevin Costner Robin Hood movie before blindly jumping to a Mel Brooks parody of a movie they’ve never seen?!
This is why you’re a maverick James.
Agreed - now when he watches the Mel Brooks version, he'll appreciate SO many more jokes!

One of the worst repeated crimes on youtube.
This movie was my introduction to the greatness of Alan Rickman.
I believe this is James’s introduction to the greatness of Christian Slater
Me too 😀
Edit, me too for Alan Rickman AND remembered this was the first time I learned of all these others except Kevin Costner and Sean Connery 💓
Me too, and I was confused that I loved the bad guy more. 🤔
Same ❤
Ditto, including Morgan Freeman and Christian Slater. I can’t remember if I already knew MSM from The Abyss or if it was this.
Side note: I knew Michael Biehn from The Abyss before Terminator and Aliens, so it was hard seeing him as the good guy when I finally saw those, lol
Yes! The next movie should be "Robin Hood, Men In Tights". The 1 actor you didn't recognize is Christian Slater. Watch "True Romance" and "Interview With the Vampire."
His best work in my opinion is the comedy movie Churchill the Hollywood years
I'm trying for True Romance for Valentine's 2024

@@BDogg2023 Can't please everyone.
This is such a good movie. You can say anything you want about Kevin Costner, but he has an incredible streak of making some great movies.
His best movie is and will allways be Dances with wolves

Hadrian's wall
This was one of my favorite movies as a kid, had the vhs and would watch it all the time
That Famous Tree in the beginning where the kid climbed up.. was just cut down by some 16 year old and was arrested for it:(
Sad
This movie made Kevin Costner a mega star, and he spent the next 20 years trying to undo it.
you shush your mouth LOL
I still use 'Something vexes thee?' line. It's just perfect xD !
Also the 'F me, he cleared it!' was entirely improv'd, if I remember right.
It wasn't improv per se as much as a decision that fell on the day of filming. One of the Producers who also was one of the writers suggested it. So it was more like a last Minute decision than an ad-lip [source: official audio commentary of the film]
I'm surprised you didn't even have a tiny little "I know him from something"
The Sheriff's cousin was also Top Dollar in The Crow. Michael Wincott 😁
Yeah his voice is so distinctive and recognizable.
He should have got that one.
@@KrazyKat007 Gravel and smoke. It's a great voice.
Michael Wincott was recently in Nope, and I got such a nostalgia-rush from that voice! Love that guy, wish he was in more stuff.

It was a great line
I love Kevin Costner's British Accent. LOL
Perfection

7:42 Vandals actually did cut down that tree not long ago.
It is called Sycamore Gap Tree. Some people were arrested for it for it. It’s very sad.
Great movie, and now you are ready to watch the even better Robin Hood: Men in tights(1993)
Not better :P different and good ALSO
Thus sayeth,
The lowest common denominator 😉
The tree they were going to chop down was famous tree at Hadrian's wall. It was cut down illegally about a week ago. It was super old.
Yeah idiot people that destroy. Am so mad and im not even from england
I vividly remember going to watch this at the cinema in early 1990's Hull cinema.
Also, you should totally watch some Blackadder. I think you'd have fun with it.

R.I.P Actors & Actresses who were alive in the flesh in back then during the filmings.
Sean Connery was the first/original movie James Bond, starting with Dr. No (1962) and ending with Never Say Never Again (1983).
And, as much as I like Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig, Connery is and always will be the best Bond, James Bond.
BEST ROBIN HOOD OF ALL TIME!!!! NONE OF THE OTHERS COMPARE TO THIS 1!!!
Can't remember if you've already seen it, but Costner and Connery worked together before famously in The Untouchables.
The tree in this movie was demolished by some idiots. The english people are angry on that! And so am i who is swedish! IDIOT people that destroy. Great reaction James! One of my favourite movies actually

Robin Hood is more Medieval/Dark Age than Renaissance, as it takes place during an early crusade.
I went to the cinema with my dad to watch this,... this was a family favourite in my home.... Sad to see the tree in the wall after it was vandalised last month...

The one you thought was Filch from Harry Potter is not.
Duncan was played by Walter Sparrow, who passed in 2000. Other movies he was in at this time was The Secret Garden, and my favorite, Ever After.
The best robin hood movie of all time...... Dont hold anything against me because of my last name 😂
I always loved this movie.
My Favorite Robin Hood! Kevin Costner Christian Slater Morgan Freeman & the late legend Alan Rickman in one of his BEST rolls❤ My husband prefers the Russell Crowe version with Cate Blanchett... Great Reaction as Always James... Also the Bryan Adam's song Everything I Do from this movie is Amazing ❤
Alan Rickman is excellent no doubt however both of you are wrong the Patrick Bergin Uma Thurman version is the best released the same year as prince of thieves.
Another Kevin Costner movie “Dances with wolves” &. “The bodyguard”; Sean Connery in the movie “The Rock” & “The untouchables”. This was a great movie! Nice reaction!!
Morgan Freeman was also in the movie. “Driving Miss Daisy” $ “High Crimes”
Added!
Jack Wild is in this production.
He died in 2005. Of Cancer.
Why is it Morgan freeman always shows up to these old stone walls with big trees in them?
Ya know, I have a friend who's actually from Nottingham and yes, he has brought up Robin Hood in conversation many times. MANY TIMES! 🤨 It's okay. I forgive him. Because he's adorable! 😀
This is a good movie but because of the actors and soundtrack it overshadowed the best and probably most historically accurate Hood film that was released the same year with Uma Thurman as Marion. Although theres no denying that Rickman is an absolute force of nature in this version.
40:54 Yeh, it is. And it's called a broadsword.
To be fair the arrow that Wolf missed the center mass with hit the dummy in the throat. That would still end an enemy rather easily.
Love the witch ., she played Miss Marple in the TV version of Agatha Christie shows.
Latrine played Miss Marple?
I loved the soundtrack in this movie especially the Bryan Adams song, Everything I Do. You definitely need to watch some more Sean Connery movies First Knight, Indiana Jones 3, The Rock,and of course some James Bond movies😊
And highlander
This was a good pick for a mythology movie.
Other good picks for that would be
Dragonheart (1986)
Reign of Fire (2002)
Highlander (1986)
Conan the Barbarian (1982)
And an extra suggestion for you the movie
Renaissance Man (1994)
COOL REACTIONS! I could've been a Bookworm, the only Book I ever read all the way was "The Outsiders" then watched the Movie after reading the Book in School a long time ago, I'm 37. This Movie was a Favorite of mine as a kid, then "ROBIN HOOD MEN IN TIGHTS" WAS FUNNIER! ROCK ON!
26:00 LOL, he said "legs" not "lads." Because she kicked him in the face with her boot. And he was just being stupid. 🤣
No, he definitely said lads.
This movie started the wedding song playing all the time. Everything I do I do it for you by Bryan Adams
Oh my land. Everything I do by Brian Adams was so big after this.
4:15 "A mordor?" 🤣
16:36 It's maid Marion, not Mary Magdalene.
Watch The Adventures of Robin Hood from 1938 starring Errol Flynn. It is the definitive Robin Hood story. It is a color film.
This version needs to be seen before Men in Tights for James to fully appreciate MIT. Gorgeous sound track and costumes.
You gotta see Sean Connery and Michael Caine in The Man Who Would Be King (1975), based on the book by Rudyard Kipling (1888).
Gunpowder: elemental sulfer, charcoal and potassium nitrate
Iowa Hawkeyes 😊
You really should watch The Count of Monte Cristo (2002).
I've read it, already know everything that happens
If you want a much different take on the "Robin Hood" folklore, I'd recommend the 2010 film with Russell Crowe.
Great movie. So similar in style to Gladiator that I don’t know why it didn’t get more notice.
Watch ‘First Knight’ starring Sean Connery and Richard Gere.
Added to my list, thanks for the suggestion.
Now you're ready for the Mel Brooks version of Robin Hood... Men In Tights.
Added
But before that, watch The Aventures of Robin Hood with Errol Flynn.
35:46 It's saltpeter. But, more scientifically It's called potassium nitrate. I was an Aviation Ordnanceman for 8 years on the LHD-3 USS Kearsarge. I know about explosives.
No not Step brother… they are half brothers as they share one parent …
Now you're ready to watch Robin Hood Men in Tights.
My movie suggestion is the Will Ferrel movie Semi Pro
I know Sean Connery from James Bond, Mogan Freeman was God in Bruce Almighty, I have seen Christian Slater before too but I can't remember from where
Will Scarlett was Robin’s half brother. Not step brother. :) Same father.
Another incredible Kevin Costner movie is Dances with Wolves. I love this movie but Dances with Wolves is ten times better. Definitely worth a watch!
For another great Morgan Freeman movie, watch Glory, which is based on a true story. Incredible movie and mostly forgotten 🥰
So glad you watched this movie, it’s in my all time top 10 movies.
Sean Connery probably the most famous actor in this film. You saw him as Indiana Jones’ father in Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade. Has done so many good movies. One of his best is “The Rock” with Nicolas Cage, a great action movie to check out!
Keep your great content coming!
Hood by Stephen Lawhead is a great take on the story.
Mythology pick, well here's one deserved of nomination but likely won't be mentioned elsewhere in the comments: Dragon Slayer (1981) .
For more Kevin Costner, I recommend Mr. Brooks (2007).
On to Men in Tights!
Need to watch “Hackers”, a great 90’s movie!!!!
Great reaction video. This is one of my favorite movies. You need to watch James Bond because Sean Connery is the original
Added!
Have you ever watched "A Time to kill"? The movie based on the book by John Grisham. It"s one of my favorite movies with Matthew McConaughey and Samuel L. Jackson.
Added thanks
You should watch *First Knight* for more knights and King Connery.
I can't get over you saying that's Sean Connery.... without saying that's the OG James Bond
Never seen any of the James Bond movies
@@AwesomeUSMovies then you should absolutely put one movie from each of the actors who played Bond on your list to watch! All worth it, especially if you have read any of Ian Fleming’s stories about the character.
Thanks for reacting to this. I almost didn't watch as mostly what I remember from this was how horrible Kevin Costner's accent was. Why did he even bother? His hair was equally as bad. That being said, I'd forgotten about the stupendous job Alan Rickman did. At the time I thought he deserved an Oscar for that performance (and still do!)
