Political Undertones

There is a scene where Robin comments on the King being involved in foreign pursuits instead of paying attention to home...that's not the exact quote, but it is something very much like that and there is more to the conversation. I'm wondering if this had some political connotations in terms of the 1930s and, if so, this would be worth commenting on in the article. Afabbro 20:13, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In 1938, up to 12-7-1941, the US was doing the exact opposite: letting Der BadMustache conquer Europe while we tried to tell ourselves it was all none of our business. Britain was also trying to ignore Hitler, up until 1939, if I remember History class correctly.--The4sword 00:19, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

...of course to see the previous versions you'll have to check out the original article. Sorry to make life complicated in the cause of simplifying things...

User:Lee M has moved The Adventures of Robin Hood to The Adventures of Robin Hood (movie) by copying-and-pasting instead of using the "Move this page" link, leaving the edit history behind. Can someone with the appropriate elite skills sort it out? —Paul A 02:29 26 Jul 2003 (UTC)

(PS. Is there a dedicated page for requests like this?)

Unfortunately he has actually put something at The Adventures of Robin Hood, so this is going to take a little more work than I am willing to do quite this second. If someone beats me to it, please also put the disambiguation boiler text at The Adventures of Robin Hood. MB 04:03 26 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Fixed. Although I hosed the old disambiguation text by mistake. Can you check I got all the entries right? CGS 09:51 26 Jul 2003 (UTC).

The old disambiguation text is still in the page history. Looks to me like you got them right. —Paul A 14:40 26 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Howard Hill

Hi. I am a traditional archery fan. I particularly love the Howard Hill style of shooting. I have heard hints that he took the trick stunt shots in this movie.(The Adventures of Robin Hood 1938). Is there any documentation to this fact or is it speculation.

Yep he did, there's a short subject of him and it's talked about in the 2-disc dvd. --Mole Man 10:03, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The IMDB trivia page on this movie[1] also mentions that he did all of the shots requiring human targets to be shot (and they really were shot, although wearing armor where being shot).

Fair use rationale for Image:Flynn robin hood.jpg

Image:Flynn robin hood.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Plot summary

I've removed the {{plot}} tag. At some 650 words, I don't think the plot summary section of this article is excessively long. --Tony Sidaway 04:02, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I don't know. I'm kind of partial to: Outlaw gets maid; outlaw loses maid; outlaw rescues maid and restores rightful king to throne. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:46, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Photo

The image of Robin and Marian doesn't occur in the film. It is, however, in the trailer as seen on the DVD. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Saintmesmin (talk • contribs) 16:49, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting headache

I've removed the following line from the article: "Hill performed that feat in a single take without the use of trick photography." The Howard Hill article says he wasn't able split the arrow as shown, much less in one take. The claim seems to have been lifted from IMDb. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:43, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As a side note

It was the sixteenth film to be shot in Technicolor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.175.106 (talk) 15:50, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More specifically, live-action film. Many animated features had been shot in Technicolor. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 19:44, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

home video

There is no listing of home-video editions. This would be of particular interest, as the film has been issued in DVD and Blu-ray editions created from an Ultra Resolution transfer. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 16:13, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

irony

"It was an unusually extravagant production for the Warner Bros. studio, which had made a name for itself in producing socially conscious low-budget gangster films..."

And The Adventures of Robin Hood isn't a "socially conscious gangster film"? WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 19:43, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
