I have heard that in fact Costner WAS attempting an English accent in this movie. Can anyone verify this?

13 minutes and 29 seconds into the commentary with Kevin Costner and Kevin Reynolds of the DVD version of Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, Kevin Costner says "It's something I wanted to do, and I wasn't very good at it. If I ever get the chance to do it again, I'm gonna do it again and I'm gonna get it right" after bringing up the subject of his accent 12 minutes and 57 seconds into the commentary with "Well there's my dumb-ass accent".--Schizophrenic Twin(s) 18:57, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

I also added information about this to the trivia section, however that whole section really needs to be integrated into the main article.

Does the Friar break the fourth wall at the end of the film? My interpretation was that he was telling Robin and Marian to stop kissing as THEY were wasting valuable celebration (i.e. drinking) time. Since the camera shot that had been used as, presumably, Robin and Marian's point of view is the same shot as when the Friar says this, it would seem that it is directed at them, not the film's audience. Just my interpretation though.

[edit] John

Where was Prince John in this movie?Kenobifan 01:06, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Good question however Prince John, like Sir Guy of Gisbourne doesn't feature as a villain in every adaptation of Robin Hood. Seeing as the Sheriff of Nottingham was the main villain they saw no reason to undermine him by putting Prince John in it I suppose.

[edit] Nintendo Power

Notoriously, the game appeared on the cover of Nintendo Power six months before its release.

What's notorious about this? Koweja 20:42, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sequel movie

There was a film called 'princess of theives' which was about Robin's daughter. No actors were the same though.

-That wasn't a sequel. No actors were the same, the production company was entirely different. All "Princess of Thieves" is, is simply another movie taking place in the Robin Hood mythos.

Ah, but there was a real sequel in the works, according to the DVD commentary. Morgan Freeman had apparently even read a script, that involved Prince John. It's a shame we never got to see it.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Robin hood 1991.jpg

Image:Robin hood 1991.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Credits

I know this may not be completely related, but has anyone else noticed that in the credits for the movie, Sean Connery wasn't mentioned? Is there a reason behind this, or just an accidental. He was only in the movie for the last 30sec and said maybe 8 words, but he's a big enough name I figured he'd be in the ending credits.
