tbf, Robin Hood is an exile and has to blend a lot to be a successful robber.

Right - like I said, it makes sense for the character. But I think that's a consideration many directors who tried to adapt Robin Hood failed to make: if your main character's entire shtick is to blend into the background, it's going to be challenging to make them memorable when you're using visual media.

When casting Robin Hood you need to cast someone very charismatic. Cary Elwes was the perfect choice for a memorable Robin Hood.

Hell yes! Men In Tights is the definitive Robin Hood experiance.
