You know what's sad? The throne room fight is legitimately more exciting than any action sequence in the Kevin Costner movie.

Pretty fun film so far. It's no Blazing Saddles, but I'm liking it.

Also, dat Marian. <_<

Nice bristols indeed.

I didn't realize it was a 90's movie for some reason. I assumed it was much older like Mel Brooks' other movies

It is really odd. Handsome, charming, able to do action and romance, able to be serious or funny.

I feel like I've seen the majority of the films he's been in. The Princess Bride, Bram Stoker's Dracula, that weird 90s live action remake of The Jungle Book, Porco Rosso and The Cat Returns for Studio Ghibli, and this film (in progress, anyway).

Is there any story behind why his career didn't go further than it did? Personal demons, studio politics, etc.?

They call me Little John. But don't let my name fool you. In real life, I'm very big.

Also, the scene where the horse moves when the fat lady tries to jump on it killed me when I was a kid.

She literally cracked the floor. The horse was smart to move.

This may be my favorite sequence in the whole movie:

Blinkin:
This never would have happened if your father was alive.
Robin Hood:
He's dead?
Blinkin:
Yes.
Robin Hood:
And my mother?
Blinkin:
She died of pneumonia while - oh, you were away!
Robin Hood:
My three brothers?
Blinkin:
Died of the plague.
Robin Hood:
My dog Pogo?
Blinkin:
Run over by a carriage.
Robin Hood:
My goldfish Goldie?
Blinkin:
Eaten by the cat.
Robin Hood:
My cat?
Blinkin:
Choked on the goldfish. Oh, it's good to be home, ain't it, Master Robin?
