An absolute tragedy the Sycamore Gap tree is now no longer. I adored this movie- my history teacher played this for us in our last few lessons for the year after our exams in 1992. Such fun.
In my top 3 movies of all time. Had such an impact on me when i was 12 and ever since. So great. Thanks for this awesome video. Seeing them now is so cool.
I was two years old when the movie was released. When my dad brought a VHS, every day I was watching this in the 90s. Now still watch on NETFLIX. One of my favorite movies of the 90s.
I was 12 when Robin Hood came out. It was a really great period for movies between around 1988 to 1995. Just in 1991 when Robin Hood came out alone, there were a ton of great movies. I loved this movie then and still do to this day. Is it completely historically accurate? No. Does Kevin Kostner even attempt an English accent. No. Is some of Alan Rickman’s performance a little over the top at times? Yes. Is it a little mainstream, right down to the Bryan Adams song at the end? Yes. But you know what? That’s okay. It’s just a fun and satisfying popcorn movie, and it’s not completely without some historical merits too. As for the title song, I honestly still love it, and most of Bryan Adams music. I think that song eventually took a lot of flack and dislike only because it was overplayed a little. But it really was a good song. I can remember on the original VHS for this movie, in the credits while “Everything I Do” played, they had a Bryan Adams music video for it in the background, shot I believe in the same woods as tree village sequences. Even with special features on discs and the vastness of the internet today, that music video is surprisingly difficult to find. Robin Hood was absolutely everywhere though when it came out. Theaters, VHS later at home, on the radio with the theme song, multiple video games, novelizations, collector cards, toys, you name it. Heck, Morgan Creek even used the very start of Michael Kamen’s great score over their logo that appeared before movies for years after Robin Hood. Just good times.
Yes, Bryan Adams was really big especially w the ladies. I remember on the bus many girls listened to it on the cd headphones on the way to and from school, including me😎
@@angelsworld1733 Hey, Bryan Adams wasn’t just for the ladies. He was an 80’s rocker. I don’t know why he’s had this unjustified reputation that way. He’s a talented guy, and there are tons of completely heterosexual guys like me who like his work.
Well said! I have the same relationship to the movie. This is one of the first DVDs I bought when DVDs came out. Gotta flip the DVD over halfway through. 😂
Thank-you Chris for this video! This movie was one of me and my husband favorite!! My husband passed away in 2012 he would have loved to see your video on this movie 🎥 you bought back a lot of memories to me! Thank-you Wendy
@@MobileInstinct lack of trade and the rising costs of fuel and supplies, apparently. Sadly it won't be the only business closing down in the next few months over here. Hopefully places like that will re-open when the crazy financial situation calms down a bit. I hope you enjoyed your visit to my bit of Northern England. This video certainly explains why you were at Castle Bolton too...which I was very surprised to see the other week :)
Loved this movie ... "Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves". Enjoyed the performances of all cast members. Have watched this movie many times and own the DVD. Kevin Costner is a great actor and Morgan Freeman another great actor as his side kick the pair played great roles and allies together in this film. Lots of action and drama. The other Robin Hood movie that was an all time classic and my favorite is "The Adventures Of Robin Hood" starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland in 1938. Great classic film. ❤❤😊😊
Thanks for making this video. I remember watching one like this a while back on YT but it got flagged for copyright and removed. I grew up in the woods of upstate New York, just north of Syracuse, and I was about 10 or 11 when this movie came out and it was always one of my favorites. I use to build tree forts with my dads scrap lumber and pretend I was in the movie. Growing up in the 90s was awesome. Loved all the movies music and video games. Thanks again for making this. 10/10.
Absolutely fantastic filming location video. I got goosebumps seeing these real locations from a film that meant so much to me upon seeing for the first time in a theater in 1991. Thanks for making!!!
Kamen's score for this movie was absolutely perfect. 8 years later he'd create one of my favorite scores ever, for "The Iron Giant". We lost him way too soon. He had a lot of greatness left to give.
Dude. This is something special, it gave me chills at the beginning. I too was attached to this movie in 1991. I had my parents by me all of the action figures, man i wish i still had them. Keep up the good work!
These areas are surprisingly well preserved after all those years. Some of the best visuals you've stumbled upon yet and such a classic film to. Great video
I live like 40mins from Salisbury where that castle is. Sadly I never got to finish the locations for this film but my aim is to do it for sure, brilliant video
Dude. Loved this movie. I was in 5th grade when it came out and had the soundtrack on tape and would walk around the neighborhood all day listening to it. Good times.
Glad you made this video, because the tree is now gone! Sad , But again great video really wonderful areas they shot in! And really enjoyed the editing, nice splicing the movie scenes in with your video of the sets/locations.
Thank you Chris definitely one of my favorite movies it will always remain one of those all time classics RIP Allyn Rickman he was also phenomenal in this movie he will truly be missed.
I have just about every Robin Hood movie or documentary available on DVD. This is one of my favorites of them all. Was it historically accurate of course not because there's no real proof Robin Hood ever really existed. More than likely he was a combination of many different stories based on some real people but mostly fictional stories and legends. It was great to see these filming locations are still well known and visited since it's been 32 years since it came out. It was movies like these and a love of history that started my collecting of Medieval swords and armor. My little sister once said I'm the only person she knows who turned the inside of a log home into a castle. 😊
Me and my little brother went and saw this at the movies when it came out in 91'. I've always loved this movie. Great video, and thanks so much for sharing!
Superb video thank you for creating this. Robin hood prince of thieves was the first VHS we ever owned in the early 90s. I still love this movie and the theme from it! Would love to visit these locations, they still look exactly the same 30 years later!
I'm from the Alnwick area and can remember them being around and walking past the sets they built. Long time ago now, I'd only just started high school. Also a lad I went to school with spent his summer being Wolf's double/stand-in.
Alan Rickman was a joy to watch in this film, he made the film so enjoyable as the villain 😂 My little brother (not so little anymore, he's taller than me now) used to watch this film all the time as a child, Great vid! Nice to see things in nature still stand tall 30+ years later.
Mi película favorita 😊💕 mi actor favorito y el tema musical de Brian Adams también lo fue desde entonces. La sigo viendo cada tanto. Y sigo creyendo que esos lugares con esos bosques playa y cascada son un verdadero paraíso. El cicomoro pareciera sacado de algún sueño recurrente digno de ser plasmado en un lienzo por cualquier artista de buen gusto. Gracias por este video me encanto.
Outstanding show.... As always... You have some grade A editing skills my good man.. thanks for all your efforts you put into your channel. And all that you do....
This is one of my favorite movies but I never knew where it was filmed, I really enjoyed your video and appreciate how much time and effort it must have taken!
The production value for that movie was better than it had any right to be. Amy Yasbeck was a perfect Maid Marian, and Cary Elwes was the perfect Errol Flynn flavor of Robin Hood.
Wow, I live in England and you’ve inspired me to find that waterfall, what a great movie, takes me back ❤ great story, great music and great memories of being young… thank you for this brilliant episode 👌👌👌👍🏴
I was fortunate to watch Robin Hood Prince of Thieves when it first came out at the cinema, I was 14, Everything I do, I do it for you sung by Brian Adams was in the UK charts for what seemed likean eternity, you could not turn on the radio without it being on.
I've seen so many versions of Robin Hood but this one was my favorite since I first saw it when I was 13. Loved this video, those really are beautiful locations and I'm so glad they take such a good care of them after so many years 👍
Great video ! It's heartbreaking to know that the beautiful tree is now no longer there. Some moron cut it down recently. It had been there for at least 200 years
This was amazing. It's so cool seeing images of the places where one of my favorite movies ever was filmed. It's kind of haunting to see them. There are echoes of the actors and film in them. I love this. Thank you for this video! Did you by chance visit any of the locales of First Knight? I recall some of the filming was in the same forest, the Burnham Beeches.
Such a great movie, definitely my favourite one. I live in Nottingham and have visited Sherwood Forest a number of times. Maid Marian was supposedly born about 5 minutes walk from where I live.
Thank you so much for this insightful upload. I live in the UK, and now I can't wait to visit Northern Ireland. That film is one of my favourites. Cheers
LMAO, you need to get out more. we have pretty much everything he showed and more, cliffs, forests, waterfalls, and modern day castles, but its great to see the real locations of the film.
That is my favorite movie of all time I have probably seen it more times then anyone, I know every word by heart and I love Kevin Costner!!! How cool you went to the locations! Ugh you don’t even have to tell me which part of the movie it is as you walk through this is awesome
I loved the movie, one of favs too and happy and exciting to see this location. Remember renting this on VHS -91 (grew up in Sweden) Grettings from Finland . Many thanks for this.
Nice job mate... Expertly done! 🏆 Best wishes from a slightly homesick Englishman restoring medieval armour in a French forest A friend of mine made some Cabasset helmets for Prince of Thieves. He told me "Never make armour for films" as he was paid poorly and half of the helmets were allegedly 'Lost'. I didn't take his advice, as I have since made the armour for a few films.... he was absolutely right!!! 🙈😂🤣 🇬🇧⚒️🇺🇲
Sadly, the Sycamore tree was cut down by vandals a short while ago. It was quite famous. Had appeared in a lot of movies, music videos, and art photographs, and one evening some louts took a chain saw to it. Another has been planted there but it won't be the same. So sad.
An absolute tragedy the Sycamore Gap tree is now no longer. I adored this movie- my history teacher played this for us in our last few lessons for the year after our exams in 1992. Such fun.
sadness
Who in their right mind would cut down a magnificent tree like that. So sad
The tree is being replaced with a new planting
Its so pretty there all the locations. prince of thieves is one of my favorite movies i watched it thousands of times never get tired of it .
What's up with all the weird spaces and odd punctuation? Are you incapable of typing correctly? WTF?
In my top 3 movies of all time. Had such an impact on me when i was 12 and ever since. So great. Thanks for this awesome video. Seeing them now is so cool.
I was two years old when the movie was released. When my dad brought a VHS, every day I was watching this in the 90s. Now still watch on NETFLIX. One of my favorite movies of the 90s.
This may have been the first movie I can remember seeing in the theater. Thanks, Chris! Amazing locations.
Same here
Great moving and amazing soundtrack. I was in 6 th grade when it came it. Loved it, love it now

@@cgimoviemanIt’s because he did a lot of romance songs in the 90’s, that’s when his fanbase changed to a lot of women.
Kevin Costner my opinion made the best Robin Hood
No! The accent comes & goes like the weather. Alan Rickman stole the show
True
@@samanthab1923 Michael Wincott as well
@@jennycraigadventures3314 Always, did you know he’s in NOPE?
Cary Elwes was much more convincing though.

The famous sycamore has been cut down today and the police are investigating and have arrested someone. Love your video.
Sadly the pub that is the entrance to the 'butt scene' waterfall closed down the other day. Glad you managed to visit it before that happened.
Why did it close?? That's too bad

I still today love this movie. It's one of my favorites.
That theme song is epic. What a great movie! Thanks for sharing these locations, super awesome!
Yep, and the Three Musketeers song too.
Fond memories as a child watching this over and over as well as listening to the soundtrack with my brothers. Thank you.
The score for this movie still is among the best of all time.
This movie did really start off a love of movies for me when I was a kid. Thank you for sharing this!
Dude. You always do a great job but this was extremely well done. Thank you
My grans favourite movie and in my top 5 . She died 2009. Thank you best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪

I was a teenager when I seen this movie. Love this movie alot Thank you so much for showing us the locations ❤

Amazing Video so beautiful places, love this Robin Hood Movie
Sadly, the Sycamore tree was cut down by vandals a short while ago. It was quite famous. Had appeared in a lot of movies, music videos, and art photographs, and one evening some louts took a chain saw to it. Another has been planted there but it won't be the same. So sad.
I just found out about this right now. That is why I'm watching this video. Terrible.
