In one, Cary Elwes plays a character who leaves his home but returns to save his true love from a corrupt king who is trying to force her to marry him. Along the way, he fights and then befriends a giant man who is friends with a man who is especially skilled with blades. He ultimately succeeds by cheating death and then placing the evil king in a precarious situation.

In one he had a thin mustache.

In the other he had a thin mustache and a small goatee.

Then he did The Pentagon Wars, an HBO movie back when HBO still made good stuff. It's a true story and I saw an interview with the military guy he was playing. Dude said something like: "I checked out the guy who was playing me and in two previous movies he wore tights."

If you haven't seen it, you should. It's a fucking hilarious comedy of errors about the defense procurement process and design by committee.

I think there was a missed opportunity here to represent their fight with sticks as the blocking of ads.

Youtube vs Ublock lets goooooooo

I like that more and more websites have realized they are loosing traffic on denying ad blockers so that they offer the options to "disable and support" or "continue anyway".

Traffic is king and people will find other sites if you try to be a hard ass about it.

Unlike some other Robin Hoods, he can speak with an English accent!
