Prince of Thieves is rubbish for multiple reasons. For one thing, much as I loved Alan Rickman, I'd argue there's no sense of serious threat from his sadistic buffoon of a villain, contrary to what you state here. Unlike the Basil Rathbone and Claud Rains characters from The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), with Errol Flynn. That one remains definitive in my not remotely humble opinion.

The cinema screening I attended burst into guffaws at the worse than usual geographic ineptitude too. Hadrian's Wall is next to the cliffs of Dover, apparently. And Sherwood Forest proved to be conveniently adjacent lines of neat Scottish Forestry Commission trees.
