It also pares down what are, in some versions of the myth, loads of characters from the Merry Men.
#SHERRIFF OF NOTTINGHAM ALAN RICKMAN QUOTES MOVIE#
Adaptation Distillation: The movie excises Prince John entirely so as to give Robin a single, more direct nemesis in the Sheriff of Nottingham.Also, Little John has eight children by his wife Fanny, and he's still willing to go into battle. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves provides examples of: No connection (other than subject matter) to to the 1948 adventure film The Prince of Thieves. The Mel Brooks 1993 parody Robin Hood: Men in Tights largely lampoons this movie, although it acknowledges other elements of the legend. Noted for Kevin Costner Not Even Bothering with the Accent and Alan Rickman's gloriously hamtastic performance. The movie opened to decent reviews, was a box office success and was nominated for quite a few awards, including an Oscar. It's also fairly dark compared to most Robin Hood adaptations. Men are made merry, bucklers are swashed, and they all live Happily Ever After (except the Sheriff, obviously). Robin and Azeem become outlaws, and steal from the rich and give to the poor.
Oh, and the Sheriff is also now apparently a devil worshipper and is being assisted in his evildoing by his cousin, Guy of Gisborne ( Michael Wincott). They return to England and discover that Robin's father ( BRIAN BLESSED) has been killed by the Sheriff of Nottingham ( Alan Rickman), and Locksley's lands stolen by the Sheriff. The story is familiar Robin of Locksley, a Crusader, escapes Jerusalem alongside a Moor named Azeem ( Morgan Freeman), who accompanies Robin because of a Life Debt. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is a 1991 period- ish action-adventure movie based on the Robin Hood myth, directed by Kevin Reynolds and starring Kevin Costner in the title role.
