The gag about Robin being able to speak with an English accent is a reference to

s performance in

. Unfortunately viewers who saw both movies in a dubbed version couldnt get this gag. For the German dubbed version the gag was changed to: "because I - unlike some other Robin Hood - do not cost the producers 5 million". The German word "kosten" (cost) was also pronounced to sound a little bit like Costner. In the French (France) and Italian (Italy) dubbed versions, it is translated as, "Because unlike other Robin Hoods, I do not dance with the wolves", referring to another Kevin Costner movie
Dances with Wolves
