He donated it to charity. • A body double was used for Kevin Costner’s nude scene under the waterfall. • The theatrical trailer shows Robin Hood swimming in the lake from a different position than in the actual film.

Historical Accuracy “Robin Hood probably was a mythical character, first introduced into England in connection with the May-Day celebrations. The earliest record of a "Robin" associated with such festivities is in the rustic plays given at Whitsuntide in France in the 13th century. The hero was called Robin des Bois (Robin of the Woods). An old English spelling of "wood" was whode, which could easily have become hode, or hood. At any rate, in the 15th century and later the May-Day celebrations in England were called "Robin Hood's Festivals." Garlands of flowers, a Maypole, morris dances, archery contests, and bonfires were features of the celebrations. Robin Hood was king of May, and Maid Marian was his queen.” http://www.missgien.net/misc/films/robin.html
