A possible ending included Robin Hood (Brian Bedford) being wounded after escaping from the castle. In this ending, Prince John (Sir Peter Ustinov), hooded and cloaked, is about to stab Robin, but is interrupted by the arrival of King Richard (also Sir Peter Ustinov). The filmmakers felt it made Prince John too sinister, and took away from Robin Hood as the hero. It was also seen as too dark a turn from the otherwise upbeat and carefree tone of the movie, and so it was deleted and replaced with the ending where Robin Hood not only survives unscathed, but Prince John, Sir Hiss (Terry-Thomas), and the Sheriff of Nottingham (Pat Buttram) are imprisoned for their treachery, with Allan-a-Dale (Roger Miller) explaining King Richard's return in front of a wanted poster of Robin Hood that now says "Pardoned by King Richard" on it. The original ending, in storyboard form, is included in the "Most Wanted Edition" DVD.
