I can see how you could think that, especially as the character is played by Christian Slater, but I'm pretty sure there's no language in Robin Hood. If you listed closely, you can make out the word 'Blimey'.
Nope. He said "**** me, he cleared it". At least in the theatrical edition. Perhaps you have some weird updated version after minds and standards changed. Rick Moranis dropped the F-Bomb in Spaceballs, and that was rated PG-13. Times have changed I suppose.
Anyway, it wasn't 'blimey' or any variation.

Observe. It's unmistakable. -

My subtitles are the stupid British ones and all it comes up with is. 'He Cleared It'. No 'Blimey', No 'F *ck'.
Plus, they've shortened the movie here by like 10 mintues. Cut out a few extra bits. Can't wait to buy this again when I go home! -

Im always thought it was blimey he cleared it, but never mind. If it is bleep me im quite disappointed actually! I also agree with the previous poster that Christian Slater does look incredibly sexy in this film, there is something about that time perioud that attracts me a time when men were real men, dirty and gruff not like the pretty boys we see today but maybe thats just me and that getting onto another subject altogether LOL..

I saw it multiple times in
original theatrical release
, and I distinctly remember f#ck me, too. The audience always laughed at that, heh.
More at the idea that he really thought they wouldn't make it, but he catapulted them up there anyway.
The rating was PG 13 here in the States, so that does allow for one utterance of the word f#ck (Possibly 2?) As long as the film would get the PG13 anyway - which I guess it did for violence content - I'd think they would take advantage of basically a "free" f#ck - One that could be put in the script with no consequence of bumping the rating.
I always thought he said "Bugger me, he cleared it."
I think you're confusing this with another scene Slater was in. (Little John says "Bugger Me" to him earlier.)
PS. Christ, this stupid language filter is hard to get around ! (How come imdb Main is not censored, but the message boards are?) -

People saying the British version is filtered that's because it's a pg film and normally shown before the 9pm watershed. You can't have swearing during the day.
When they show it after 9pm, as they just did today, the swearing is on there. -

I always thought there was something strange in that scene. If I listened to it I heard "Blimey, he cleaered it" but his lips sais something else. I always wondered. Now that I hear it was actually beep me," it makes sence. They would have dubbed "blimey" in place of beep
