Men in Tights will always be Canon Robin Hood to me
-
Ridley Scott not knowing the proper locations of things in England explains how badly he's screwed up Napoleon.
-
Medieval French troops storming the beaches in WW2 era landing boats is something I never expected see and I love it.
-
Russell Crowe managed to keep every Robin Hood scholar happy by doing every English accent (including Scouse, Nigerian, Mancunian, Northern Irish, Geordie, Jamaican...) all at the same time.
-
The addition of "David Attenborough" narrating a wildfire started by Robinhood and referring to him as a prick was an evil stroke of genius
-
Ridley Scott: "Excuse me mate, were you there?" Historian: "We have numerous historical accounts of-" Ridley Scott: "WERE YOU THERE?!"
-
"Can't say I've ever met a literate stonemason" - Tywin Lannister.
-
Also, another minor point was that the king was not called "Your Majesty" until Henry VIII, who thought the phrase sounded better than "Your Grace."
-
The knock-off D Day landing was just unreal, complete with underwater shots of trailing arrows like the bullets in Saving Private Ryan
-
On his death bed he called on Little John and stated " Bring me my bow, where ever this arrow lands this is where you shall bury me! " His men stayed true to his request and thats why Robin was buried ontop of his bedroom wardrobe.
-
30:32 - The "Richard Attenborough" voice-over almost made me choke on the steak I was eating while watching.
-
I grew up watching Robin of Sherwood on Saturday afternoon telly and for me that will always be the definitive version of the Robin legend.
-
Don't forget that the knights that they loot the equipment from after the ambush were presumably those of the King's inner circle, meaning their heraldry would've most likely been recognized by multiple people at court when they arrived in England.
-
I'm absolutely dying at the fact that the gaggle of orphan boys are all riding, not ponies, but miniature horses perfectly proportioned to their own sizes. As if that was something easy to come by.
-
Had to pause the video and comment... the David Attenborough section was brilliant! I love it! I really want to believe that was actually Sir David Attenborough doing that bit 🙂Timestamp 30:22
-
I could've happily watched this cast of Robin and his merry men in a complete film without anybody else. They were genuinely funny and fun to watch.
-
Fun Fact: Despite the fact that John is the most common male name in England, there has only been one King John. He was that bad of a king
-
I loved the Attenborough line- totally came out of nowhere and was a perfect impression 🤣🤣🤣 Did an AI do it or a friend? It was flawless delivery
-
I can't wait for Nick's take on Napoleon. That forehead smack animation is going to get a lot of use.
