Quotes

add »
(Alice is singing to Little John)

Alice: Have you ever kissed a boy called John? For if you've never kissed a boy called John, you don't know what you've missed.

(Little John outside the window sighs) (edit)
Robin: (After Robin proves to the Sheriff that he can kill) You overestimate my conscience. Now do precisely as I say, were going to the tower. (edit)
Much: (Robin asks Roy for help) Why him when you love me? (edit)
Roy: Are you deaf, we don't go to Nottingham.
John Little: We go to Nottingham. (edit)
Will Scarlett: If Robin dies then the people of Locksley will be just like you.
Outlaw: What do you mean like us?
Will Scarlett: They will have nothing to left to live for, they'll be dead men.
(edit)

Trivia

add »
When the Sheriff is threatening Robin that time is ticking away, he makes a "tick-tock" sound. Pendulum clocks were not invented until the mid 1600's so it would be impossible for someone in the mid eleventh century to recognise the sound with it's meaning. (edit)

Allusions

add »
After Robin Hood makes the statement that the real cancer was there in England, the sheriff makes a statement about he hears a dead man talking. This is close to the modern day phrase of Dead Man Walking when a man is on death row and is being led to his execution. (edit)
