I am watching Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I watched this when it came out and remember being terrified by the body in the cage at the beginning, which I now see is on screen for maybe five seconds, tops.

Rewatching it now? Wow. Just. Wow. If it weren't for the A-list cast, I'd swear this was made for $5 in Romania for the Syfy Channel. I see why Mel Brooks parodied it. It should be parodied.

AHAHAHHA. Oh, but Alan Rickman....ALAN RICKMAN!! He makes that movie, he really does. Chew that scenery, dude! More than you ever did in Die Hard And remember when Christian Slater had a career? Those were the days....

Die Hard was his first film role! Also, the beginning of this, he may as well have been a Deatheater. I see why they cast him as Snape.

This. So much this. Alan Rickman chewed so much scenery in this movie, even Bloomie in the Three Musketeers doesn't compare.

Best line in the movie?
Guy of Gisborne: Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe?
Sheriff of Nottingham: Because it's DULL, you twit. It'll hurt more.
Not even Orlando can match that. That's gold standard, that is.

It really is. I love that line. It was like he was in an entirely different movie. (I've sometimes gotten some of Rickman's bits confused with Men in Tights.)

That line is so great that my friends and I would quote it to each other all the time in high school. I still try to work it into conversation whenever possible.

I like when he later stabs Guy of Gisborne and then says, "Well at least I didn't use a spoon." God, Alan Rickman soooo awesome.
