*listening to “The Sea Hawk” score*

Ah, here’s the point in the movie where Basil Rathbone falls off the stairs to lie in the surf with the incoming waves rolling over his chiseled features.

@Leucrotta I saw this move when I was 10 or 11 and have yet to come across anyone else who has IRL, but the memories are very vivid.

@onelastsketch It's a joke! Robin Hood, Captain Blood and The Sea Hawk are all Errol Flynn swashbuckler movies with Korngold soundtracks (two of them feature Rathbone as an opponent). I've seen Robin Hood and Captain Blood dozens of times, but I've only seen Sea Hawk once.
