    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Tim Roth thought he was going to be fired for making Archibald Cunningham too eccentric. He asked his agent to start looking for more work for him. Despite thinking this, director Michael Caton-Jones told him to be more campy and eccentric. Roth would later receive an Oscar nomination for his performance.
    • Goofs
      When Robert Roy MacGregor hides in the corpse of a highland cow, Montrose's man leading the chase says, "What a stench! Let's get downwind." To get away from an odor, a person needs to place himself upwind, not downwind.
    • Quotes

      Archibald Cunningham: Think of yourself a scabbard, Mistress McGregor, and I the sword. And a fine fit you were, too.

      Mary: I will think on you dead, until my husband makes you so. And then I will think on you no more.

    • Alternate versions
      Three seconds were cut from the UK cinema version to receive a 15 certificate, with a further 21 seconds removed from the video version. All the cuts were made to edit the rape scene. This version was released on DVD all over Europe as MGM mastered only one DVD for the entire region. In 2012, all previous cuts were waived by the BBFC for the 15 certificate Blu-ray release.

    Rob Roy towers.

    Well done, scenic, finely made film, Liam Neeson is great here and shoulda had the same basic part in Phantom Menace, he is a force of nature here. Roth is a great nasty, Hurt too. I thought the assault scene on Jessica was tough to watch but that crap did happen. The British were tyrants up in the High Heather in the 1700s even as they were in the 1300s in 'Bravehearts' day.

    I see this as a bit of a forerunner to Braveheart, though they came out at about the same time, it shoulda done better at the box office and ditto at the Oscars.

    ***1/2, and boys...that final fight between Roth and Liam...my o my.
