Words can't express how disappointed I am that the IMDb site didn't include this exchange in the movie's Quotes section. Out of all the deaths in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, this one was the most satisfying for me, just to see the corrupt bishop get his comeuppance from Friar Tuck--a character formerly relegated to the frivolous "comic relief" role yet using this most appropriate moment to grow a pair and make a stand for righteousness at last. And the Judas Iscariot reference was pretty slick, too. ;-)

Friar Tuck: Gold. You sold your soul to Satan, Your Grace. You accused innocent men of witchcraft and sentenced them to die....

Bishop of Hereford: But brother friar, you would strike another man of the cloth?

Tuck: No, I wouldn't. In fact, I'll help you pack for your journey! You have to take a lot of gold to help you on your way.

*heaps more gold on the Bishop's load*

Tuck: You are a very rich man. And that, and that.

*heaps even more gold on as the Bishop strains under the weight*

Tuck: And here's thirty pieces of silver...to pay the Devil on your way to Hell!

*shove, fall, splat* :-D

The actor's name is Harold Innocent.

And the ironic part is that he is a villian when his surname is Innocent...

That IS a hell of a name for an actor who plays villains to have (though it would be a bit more ironic if Mr. Innocent were a career criminal instead...).

I did notice the real name with an IMDb search; After "David Innocent" turned up no results, I searched for the movie title and found that his name was Harold Innocent too. He has also been dead since 1993, sadly, but I guess it happens to everyone sometime.... :-(

how much gold did Friar Tuck give Hereford to pay the Devil before he sent him out the window?

He gave him thirty pieces of silver, actually.

I hadn't really picked up on the thirty pieces of silver bit until now.

What do you mean? it is Harold?!

cheers for spotting that

We need the Defenestration category here since he gets pushed through a window.
