Parents need to know that Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is the 1991 blockbuster movie in which Kevin Costner plays the mythical medieval hero known for stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Medieval graphic violence dominates this film, and that there are some particularly gory moments.

Sean Connery got paid $US250,000 (approx. $867,445 now) back in 1991 for an uncredited cameo as Richard the Lionheart in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. His role encompassed two days on set, two minutes of screen time and very little dialogue.

Robin Hood contains intense sequences of medieval battle violence and war scenes. The film contains some brutal and gruesome images although these images appear briefly with minimal depiction of blood and gore.

It was filmed on location at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire, England, a medieval-style Victorian-era edifice built between 1842 and 1851. Some filming was also done near Betws-y-Coed in North Wales.
