What about Robin hood prince of thieves?
Alan Rickman knew it was idiotic Kevin Costner slop so he, Alan, decided to play an over the top Sheriff of Nottingham!
Alan Rickman famously found the original script so bland that he secretly worked with playwright friends to completely rewrite and ad-lib his own lines. This rebellion resulted in some of the film’s most legendary dark-comedy threats, including his famous line:
“Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas!”.
“Locksley, I’m going to cut your heart out....with a spoon”
*with a spoon has been my go-to ever since and I’m beyond caring who “ gets it” or not.
I’ll just snicker to myself.
