* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]: Doubling as well as [[Awesome Moment of Crowning|Awesome Music Of Crowning]], the "March of the Merry Men," as it recurs in the coronation scene, is a riot of trumpet [[Fanfare|fanfares]], soaring violins, and glittering harpstrings.
** '''[[wikipedia:Erich Korngold|Korngold]]''' -- [[Erich Wolfgang Korngold]]. Speak his name with the same reverence with which you would say ''[[Alfred Newman]]'' or ''[[Max Steiner]]''.
* [[Ear Worm]]: Even hearing the '''''name''''' "Robin Hood" will make most people start humming this show's theme tune.
* [[Expy]]: In ''The Mark of Zorro'', made two years after this film, Eugene Pallette would play another [[Church Militant|militant churchman]], Fray Felipe, a character obviously based on Friar Tuck. Moreover, Marian's lady-in-waiting, Bess (Una O'Connor) who has "had the bans up five times," is clearly modeled on the Wife of Bath in Geoffrey Chaucer's ''[[The Canterbury Tales|Canterbury Tales]]''.
* [[What an Idiot!]]: Marian's attempts to hide the fact that she is trying to warn the King are ... less than convincing.
** She writes a letter to King Richard, telling him of the assassination plot and then hears a knock on her bedroom door. Despite the fact that there is a) a lady's maid next to her who ''successfully hides'' and b) a fire burning on the hearth ''right behind her'', she neither gives the letter to the maid nor throws it in the fire. Instead she puts it in a conspicuous box on a table that she claps shut and still has her hands on when Sir Guy bursts through the door, and that she ''stares at'' while he toys with it.
