Trivia:

The real reason for Robin of Loxley being killed off was that actor Michael Praed had received an offer he could not refuse from Broadway producers of the musical The Three Musketeers. The Broadway show, in which Praed played D'Artagnan, was not a great success. It closed after a week and only 9 performances.

Goofs:

Anachronisms: During the ambush at Wickham, a train can be seen going past behind the trees.

Quotes:

Robin Hood: Do you want them to win?
Marion: I don't care about them!
Robin Hood: You must. For the sake of everything we've meant for each other you must care. Because that way you'll keep alive all we've believed in. And I can't die then, can I?
