And that movie only had one because it was making fun of the fact that the Kevin Costner Robin Hood had one.
The really depressing thing is that Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, is pretty much the *best* example of 'if you must put a black guy into Robin Hood, how not to piss people off.'
1. Have Morgan fucking Freeman do it.
2. Make him a new character and obviously not from around here, so nobody has to ask why the fuck Allen-a-Dale or Midge the Miller's Son is a black guy now.
3. Have other characters initially distrust and take a little time to warm up to him.
Bam. Done. And back in 1991, too.
