Not true. This was made in original 3-strip Technicolor, in 1937 and 1938. The first feature-length film using that process was "Becky Sharp" in 1935. "Gone With the Wind" and "The Wizard of Oz," both made in 1939, used that same process. No colorization here!
@valtonwilson CGI ? Are you kidding me? This was back when they made real movies, this was before WW II, probably everyone in it is dead. I used to be a projectionist at a drive in, I remember the BIG screen.
@clintonearlwalker what? im saying the lack of CGI is a great thing. today we would of cgied the arrows. im giving creedit to the realism of the origonal robin hood man.
@valtonwilson I understand that, It's just in my opinion, when they invented "CGI" that was the end of movies. Using the phrase "CGI" in the comments of a vid of showing Errol Flynn's 1938 classic is like talking about Justin Beeber on a Beatles vid.
If Kevin Costner ever screen tested for this Curtiz movie, he'd be laughed out of the screening room, shot down by the first arrow of rejection. I don't even think he'd make a good Will Scarlett. He lacks the fire and dash of Flynn by a forest's width.
Baring the usual continuity mistakes, by the time the editors spot them it is far too late!, it is still one of the finest films ever shot, and the best Technicolor as well.
Hitchcock could never give a care about minor errors, he just said what are you watching the story... or the effects and errors?.
This film is so completely entertaining and so engaging, that I don't think many people even notice the blatant continuity blunder in this sequence. Take a look at Robin's costume before he mounts the wating horse. Then look at how he's dressed in the location footage. I couldn't believe I didn't notice this until several viewings. There are similar continuity inconsistencies in the scene where he first meets King Richard (in disguise) in Sherwood.
@DOMuricu Can't see the costume problem it is consistent in this clip, same green tunic and hose throughout, unless confusion occurs between Robin and his pursuers. Don't forget the Warners changed directors in mid stream on the film, continuity always suffers when this happens, look at Wizard of OZ ....the problems like this don't spoil the film.
@swallin19 Sorry. I didn't realise this clip ended before Robin dismounts. I know Curtiz replaced Keighly and Curtiz also re-shot some of the location action sences/set pieces and that the continuity error was probably considered unimportant enough to leave alone. Robin is wearing the green short cape and hat in Keighly's footage, but is without cape or hat in the studio footage. I think there's also a similar mis-match during his first confrontation with Rathbone over the dear Mutch kills.

One of the greatest movies ever made. It cost 2 million to make in 1938. If you spent 2 billion today, you couldn't come close to it.

Errol Flynn is a total badass, Kevin Costner and Russell Crowe can't hold a candle to him.
