Before you click on after briefly viewing what appears to be yet another version of Robin Hood, STOP, and read on. This film is a little bit different from the usual.

It's also nowhere to be seen on the shelves anywhere. I obtained my NTCS version from the USA after watching it on TV sometime in the mid-80s. Sure it's about Robin Hood but this comedy sets a contemporary tone yet at the same time gives it's characters speeches and mannerisms from Olde England.

It's the familiar tale of fighting against King John whilst attempting to rescue King Richard from the Crusades. The American Robin Hood is surrounded by familiar British actors (pre-dating Robin Hood:Prince if Thieves) which helps with the interplay and lends an air of eccentricity to the proceedings.

King john is in therapy, Maid Marion is getting restless, Robin prefers kissing hands, a crack, Jewish SAS squad lend a hand, Will Scarlet tries to sing all the way through and Little john took the sundial to be repaired because it was running a little bit fast.

This is a very funny movie and quite unknown, even by IMDb standards so get ahead of the game and seek this one out.
