A planned sequel was cancelled due to this movie's poor performance at the box office.
Ridley Scott said the only previous Robin Hood movie he thought was any good was Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993).
The brown hood worn by Russell Crowe was won by the Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (2014) show at "Russell Crowe's 'Art of Divorce' Auction", which was held April 7, 2018. The hood (along with other memorabilia purchased in the auction), was given to the Anchorage, Alaska Blockbuster Video store in hopes of attracting customers to keep it open. Sadly, the Blockbuster store closed in summer 2018.
Alan Doyle, the actor who played one of Robin's cohorts (Allan A'Dayle), is the lead singer of the Canadian band Great Big Sea. He sings throughout the movie, usually while playing a stringed instrument.
George, the horse that Russell Crowe rode in Gladiator (2000), appeared in this movie. Similarly, Rusty, the white horse in this movie, worked with Crowe again in Les Misérables (2012). Crowe claims that both horses recognized him, even after ten years in George's case.
Stephen Armourae: He played Robin Hood on-stage in London, England in 2008, appears as a French Lord alongside Mark Strong, with a beard and mustache. He also appeared clean-shaven as a Baron in the Magna Carta scene.
