ha! That movie is as quotable as Top Gun! It's just the best :)
As for the new one with Russell Crowe, it looks like they're painting him as a true yeoman, which is a bit different than the nobility he's been portrayed as before, or the peasant. From the interviews I've watched, it seems like Crowe has gotten really into his part, even shooting upwards to 200 arrows a day. I'm looking forward to it.

They also used rubber suits for armor in Gladiator. I won't fault any actor for using lightweight bows, considering I can't even pull a 120 pounder :D

i wish i were an actor and had the time to shoot 200 arrows a day..

I enjoyed the special. I think understanding the whole Robin Hood myth is contingent on understanding England history of the period. One of my other hobbies is the study of medieval/dark age England....I have a mini-library on these subjects alone.
Now.....let's not get too picky with the archery gear and drawing technique.....after all....they are actors......I am strong as a bull.....and I don't even TRY to pull a proper warbow! I enjoy the use of my wrist, shoulder and back muscles/joints too much!!!
I am seeing the movie this weekend....cannot wait! Looks like a lot of fun!
Fun is the key word.....just enjoy it.....don't pick it apart!
