Robin Hood: Thief of Wives

About This Movie

So, here’s the thing about 'Robin Hood: Thief of Wives.' It’s not your granddad's Robin Hood, that’s for sure. Directed by Joe D'Amato, this 1996 film twists the classic legend into something much raunchier, with Mark David stepping into Robin's boots. The pacing is a bit uneven, but the atmosphere is thick with that late-night, adult film vibe—lots of skin and not much of the usual moral high ground. The performances lean heavily into the erotic, and there's a certain unabashedness in how it portrays Robin's escapades. What sets this apart is its approach to the story, taking a sharp left turn into adult territory while still playing with those familiar themes of rebellion and desire.

This title is quite the curiosity among collectors, not least because it’s a Joe D'Amato film that diverges so far from traditional narratives. It tends to be a bit scarce, often overshadowed by more mainstream interpretations of Robin Hood. There’s definitely a niche interest in films like this within adult cinema circles, making it an intriguing find for those who appreciate the blend of adventure and adult themes. The film's unique take offers a rare glimpse into how varied interpretations of classic tales can be, which adds to its collectible value.
