Robin Hood comes home after fighting in the Crusades to learn that the noble King Richard is in exile and that the despotic King John now rules England, with the help of the Sheriff of Rottingham. Robin Hood assembles a band of fellow patriots to do battle with King John and the Sheriff.
No, but: The villain abducts the heroine and attempts to rape her onscreen. The attempt is interrupted, and the whole thing is played for laughs, with the assumption that the audience will know this isn't the kind of movie where the attempt would succeed.
There is a string of jokes about a man receiving unwanted advances from a woman he considers unattractive, including a scene where she holds him down on her bed and touches him sexually.
An old woman plans to get a man drunk so he'll sleep with her, but that doesn't happen. After that same man falls through her roof, she climbs onto him and touches him sexually, much to his horror. After another woman refuses to marry that man, he kidnaps her and tries to rape her.
No heads are squashed, but while the Sheriff hangs upside down under his horse, his horse runs off, resulting in the Sheriff bashing his head on the ground with each step the horse takes.
No one is burned alive, but in the opening scene, a village is burned down. Additionally, while Robin and the Sheriff fight in front of Marian, the Sheriff backs into a fireplace and burns his behind.
No amputation occurs on screen, but there are several mentions of offscreen removal of body parts, including a minor character whose tongue was removed at some point in the past. Another character is a mohel, and in one scene is heard performing a circumcision just offscreen (with a pained reaction from his "customer").
No teeth are damaged, but it's worth mentioning that when Robin is taken to his cell, his tongue is pulled and stretched out with a tong. While the Sheriff meets with a man with an Italian accent, the man mentions that his servant had his tongue cut out in the past.
Out of sight a circumcision is done. We can head it but the person (an adult) is in the privacy of a tent at the time. It happens right after Robin tells the rabbi that he needs a wedding done in a hurry.
No kids die, but when Robin gets home, a boy runs up to him screaming because men are chasing him with the intention of killing him. The boy gets away safely though.
Broomhilda falls out the window and her horse doesn't catch her because she's bigger. She also falls on Little John and asks him flirtatiously is she can do anything for him and he says "yeah, you can get off of me"
The Rabbi is treated respectfully, except for when King Richard shows up and calls him a priest. He performs circumcisions on adult men, which could be considered an antisemitic stereotype.
In the bathing scene, Marian is never fully nude, but there are shots where she's wearing nothing but a brief undergarment and the only thing covering her upper half is her long hair.
There are no guns, but at the archery competition, an assassin's small crossbow is treated like a gun, as it's kept in a padded case and it clicks like a gun when it is loaded with a bolt.
No one drowns, but after Robin defeats Little John, Little John falls into a very shallow stream and flounders around as he panics and screams that he's drowning.
