Card-Carrying Villain: The Sheriff of Nottingham embodies pretty much any and all indicators of cartoonish supervillainy, up to and including Satan worship. Breaking the Fourth Wall: While he's actually addressing Marian and Robin, Friar Tuck looks right at the camera and appears to be speaking to the audience with the last line of the movie.

Badass Preacher: Friar Tuck is just as good a fighter as any of the other Merry Men. She's also introduced to the audience as kicking Robin's ass in hand to hand combat. Badass Long Hair: Marian is the King's cousin and a lady of the court with long, beautiful curly hair. Award Bait Song: "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You".

Arrows on Fire: It's a Robin Hood movie, after all.

Adaptation Distillation: The movie excises Prince John entirely so as to give Robin a single, more direct nemesis in the Sheriff. Tropes used in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves include:
