Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
In 1991, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves hit theaters. The film was not a grand critical success, as reviews were generally mixed. However, it did rake in a nice stash of money at the box office, $390.5 million to be precise. The film came into existence on a budget of $390.5 million. However, one small detail had some observers scratching their heads. In one scene, Robin Hood’s buddy is quite fascinated by a telescope. He shows Robin Hood with a certain glean in his eye. As charming as the scene was, it is not historically accurate. The telescope would not have been around during the time period in which the story is set, year 1194. The nifty device did not come to be until the 17th century.
