Trivia: Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris’s original script “Nottingham” turned the traditional story on its head by portraying the Sheriff of Nottingham in a more sympathetic light and Robin Hood as more of a villain. The script was extensively re-written by Brian Helgeland because director Ridley Scott wanted the Sheriff of Nottingham to be a more conflicted character. New rewrites were done by British playwright Paul Webb and later by Tom Stoppard, who reworked the story while the movie was already being filmed.

Goofs: Factual errors: King Richard the Lionheart spoke very little English in real life. His father was French and Richard spent a significant portion of his life in France.
