Who saw this back in summer 91?
I was there and you cant take that away from me. I remember most the opening in the prison seemed very dark and Batman-esque.. and the ending the audience audibly gasped when
SEAN CONNERY
appeared -

I have very vivid memories of that Summer (it was the Summer before the start of my senior year in high school). And I can't think of the summer of '91 without thinking of

. You couldn't turn on the radio or MTV without hearing/seeing "Everything I do (I do it for you).".
I loved it then, and still like it now, revisiting it every few years. It's definitely Robin Hood for the MTV generation, with a mullet-wearing, American Robin Hood and a hit rock song attached. But those who think it's all camp and cheese are mistaken. It's darker and more serious than it's given credit for. Heck, when it came out, critics complained it was
too
dark and dour and needed to be more fun.A journey into the realm of the obscure:
