Robin Hood Appearances
Several of the people involved with the film were involved in other Robin Hood productions. Dick Van Patten, who played the Abbot in the film, had previously collaborated with Brooks in a television parody titled When Things Were Rotten, in which van Patten played Friar Tuck. While critically acclaimed, the show ran for only half a season in 1975.
Porretta (Will Scarlet O'Hara) would go on to play Robin Hood for the first two seasons of the television series The New Adventures of Robin Hood. Patrick Stewart, who appears briefly as King Richard, once assumed the Robin Hood role while portraying Jean-Luc Picard in the episode "Qpid" of the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Famous quotes containing the words robin hood, robin, hood and/or appearances:
“It is now many years that men have resorted to the forest for fuel and the materials of the arts: the New Englander and the New Hollander, the Parisian and the Celt, the farmer and Robin Hood, Goody Blake and Harry Gill; in most parts of the world, the prince and the peasant, the scholar and the savage, equally require still a few sticks from the forest to warm them and cook their food. Neither could I do without them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It’s June in January because I’m in love.”

Has certainly a taste for being diddled.”
