That "token Moor" was the best thing about that crappy movie (with the possible exception of Alan Rickman).

(The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.)

It was based on Michael Crichton's " Eaters of the Dead "..
The "arab" main character was actually black in the book..
They filled the part with Antonio Banderas..
I've never forgiven hollywood for that..
( Actually, he did a good job, but he sure isn't black..)

Given that Robin Hood is mythical or at least heavily embellished to begin with, adding a new and unlikely character just for American sensitivities should be embarrassing.
Best part of the movie was the Sheriff who I assume was Rickman.
