Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • The Sheriff attempts to rape Maid Marian but Robin Hood stops him. While there is no nudity (he is fully clothed while she is wearing a chemise, showing mild cleavage) the scene is long and potentially disturbing, with the Sheriff and Marian struggling as he is on top of her and she screams and pleads for help.

Violence & Gore

  • Robin cuts his hand open after his father's death and squeezes drops of blood out on his grave to pledge his retaliation.
  • A man's eyes are gouged out. Not shown however implied, because his face and eye area is bloody afterwards, he puts a blindfold on to cover it shortly after.
  • There's a lengthy final sword fight between Robin and the Sheriff, and it ends when Robin stabs him and kills him.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Maid Marian is almost raped twice during the movie. The first time she immediately incapacitates the soldier who grabbed her; the second time she is assaulted in a long scene where she screams for help throughout, while her aggressor's reactions are played for laughs. She is ultimately rescued in time but the scene is explicit in content (although there is no nudity) and potentially very disturbing.
  • The witch sacrifices animals using blood-stained knives (though mostly offscreen). She also encourages the Sheriff to violate Marian and jeers during the attempted rape.
