Mediocre but passable lowbrow Robin Hood movie with amusement and entertainment enough . As it is starred by Robin Hood and his Merry Men and at the beginning being attacked by their enemies . As an injured Robin Hood : Charly Bravo flees and he get escaped from his heinous pursuers while his partners are hanged . Later on , Robin feigns his death by burying himself into a coffin , but, of course , he goes back to life . After that , Robin Hood joins his underlings : Fernando Rubio as Friar Tuck , Luis Induni as Giant , Joaquín Blanco as Big John , Manuel Muñoz, all of them unite forces to battle the villianous sheriff of Notthingham : Gaspar Indio González .
Amusing and entertaining Robin Hood movie with lots of adventures , brawls , feats , laughters , and a large number of fights with no much sense . There are some familiar faces as Charly Bravo , Luis Induni , Gastar Indio González , José Lifante , some of them working in Paella or Spaghetti Westerns of the Sixties and Seventies . Furthemore , look for prestigious director Agustín Villaronga and special appearance by a very young Emma Cohen . Fun but disconcerting Robin Hood movie that nothing to do with the classic Canon, neither the vintage film by Michael Curtiz with Errol Flynn . This Robin Hood Nunca Muere 1975 is a simple and plain adventure with action , assaults on a castle , fights , attacks and the ordinary arrows throwing . There are also some fight scenes in Terence Hill and Bud Spencer style that at the time achieved too much success with their peculiar films , and in Robin Hood Nunca Muere or Robin Hood never dies 1975 were usually performed by the fatty Fray Tuck/ Fernando Rubio by delivering slaps , punches and kick-ass against enemies . The flick is set during the thunderous Kingdom of John without Land , governing the nasty Normands that humiliate, exploit and mistreat the Saxon population. The pic ignores the wealthness of the actual history of Robin Hood and it turns into another adventure/action movie with no historical perspective, resulting in a cheap production with no much sense that doesn't delivers what it should .
It contains an atmospheric cinematography by Tomás Pladevell shot on location in Barcelona outdoors , Foix and river Tordesa . Special mention for the medieval soundtrack composed by professional musicians by means of medieval musical instruments. Being produced in low budget by Ricardo Muñoz Suay and J. A. Pérez Giner from Profilmes considered to be the Spanish Hammer Films . The motion picture was regularly directed by Frances Bellmunt in his film debut , though he had made shorts and documentary . Subsequently , he directed a lot of movies , getting successes and flops . Filmmaking all kinds of genres and outstanding the following ones : The Orgy , Complot of the Rings , Quinta Del Porro , Batalla Del Porro, Gracias Por Propina , Un Par de Huevos , Pan De Angel , Monturiol , Lisistrata , among others. Rating : 5/10 , regular but passable as well as acceptable , at times, Robin Hood movie and only for no very demanding people .
