Line 11:
* A stage version was prepared as early as 1828.
* In 1850, [[Vanity Fair|William Makepeace Thackeray]] produced the [[Affectionate Parody|parodic]] [[Fan Sequel]], ''[http://www.hicom.net/~oedipus/books/randr.html Rebecca and Rowena: A Romance Upon Romance]'', in which [[Take That Scrappy|Athelstane]] and [[Die for Our Ship|Rowena]] die and Wilfred [[Fan
There have been several [[The Film of the Book|Film Adaptations]].
Line 174:
* [[Childhood Marriage Promise]]
* [[Combat Commentator]]: the knights briefly do this during the joust.
* [[Good Weapon, Evil Weapon]]: Played with. During the final duel, Bois-Guilbert uses a mace and chain--a nicely evil weapon--but Ivanhoe uses an axe. This is to drive home that he's not Rebecca's [[Knight in Shining Armor]].
* [[Flynning]]: Oh, yes. At several points you can see one combatant just holding his sword up while the other hits it repeatedly.
* [[Hero Secret Service]]: especially evident in the message-arrow scene.
Line 185:
== Tropes Present in the 1982 TV Adaptation ==
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Ivanhoe is [[Brideshead Revisited|Lord Sebastian Flyte]] and [[The Scarlet Pimpernel 1982 (Film)|Sir Percy Blakeney]]; Rebecca is [[Romeo and Juliet|Juliet]]; Bois-Guilbert is [[Jurassic Park|Alan Grant]]; Front-de-Bœuf is [[The Lord of the Rings (Film)|Gimli]]; and The Black Knight is either [[Star Wars|General Veers]] or [[The Last Crusade (Film)|Walter Donovan]].
Line 207:
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Bois-Guilbert has a villainous scar on his cheek.
* [[Have You Told Anyone Else?]]
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [[Rome|Julius Caesar]] is Bois-Guilbert and [[Christopher Lee]] is... Christopher Lee.
* [[Historical Hero Upgrade]]: Somewhat played with, as is the [[Historical Villain Upgrade]]. {{spoiler|Near the end of the plot Eleanor of Aquitane confronts both her sons and lambasts not only John, but Richard as well. If anything she's more annoyed with the latter, since he's spent all but three or four months of his reign in the Holy Lands and has near bankrupted England to pay for his war, leaving John to do the unpleasant but necessary task of raising the money and, oh yeah, keep the country running. As she says, 'John may be a miserable little runt, but at least he's ''been'' here!'}}
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Rebecca.
