The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)
1 factual error
Directed by: Michael Curtiz, William Keighley
Starring: Basil Rathbone, Claude Rains, Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland
VideoRevealing mistake: In the big fight scene at the end, there is a close-up shot of a guard (Sir Mortimer) getting stabbed square in the chest. When the sword is withdrawn, there is obviously no hole in his tunic.
Maid Marian: Why, you speak treason.
Robin Hood: Fluently.
Trivia: The archery coach for the film was the famous master bowman Howard Hill (he successfully hunted an elephant with a longbow). He also performed the "trick" shots, and appears in the movie as the black-bearded archer Robin defeats in the "finals" of the archery contest.
