I've been thinking about starting a small YouTube channel, but the startup costs for software add up so fast. This list of free sites seems like a lifesaver for anyone just starting out on a budget. Does anyone else have any secret free tools they swear by for editing or finding trends?

Man, I’ve had this movie on VHS since I was about six or seven years old. If my math is even remotely close—and it usually is—I must have watched it at least 120 times. God knows what kind of obsession carries a kid through that many viewings, but honestly, it was never enough. Especially once you hit that part at the end where you realize the whole thing was based on a true story😲.
Though, looking back, it turns out Frank Dux was basically just spinning tall tales about his fights and records—the guy was a total fraud, to be blunt. Then you’ve got the legendary Bolo Yeung, who seriously looks like he hasn't aged a day—he was a multi-time bodybuilding champ back in the day, and his son eventually took over the mantle
. The fight choreography is totally unrealistic, sure, but man, it is visually addictive. At the end of the day, it was actually this exact movie that inspired Mirko to get into combat sports in the first place

Kate Harris4 said:I honestly don't get the hype at all. This isn't actually a movie about Robin Hood—it’s just some pale, washed-out imitation. I’m giving it a pathetic 2/10 on IMDb. If you want the real deal, go watch the 1938 version; that’s a 9/10 masterpiece in my book.
Look, the '38 version of Robin Hood is an absolute classic—that’s just a straight-up fact. Maybe that newer version with Kevin is better simply because it’s more modern, and I get why people dig it, but at the end of the day, there is only one definitive movie about Robin.

Take another look at this. You know, I was revisiting *The Adventures of Robin Hood* from 1938 the other day—yeah, the classic Errol Flynn version—and it really hit me how much we’ve lost in terms of pure, unadulterated cinematic energy. It’s one of those movies that just refuses to feel dated, even if the pacing is different than what you’d see from a modern blockbuster. It’s got everything: swashbuckling action, high stakes, and that sense of righteous justice that feels almost missing from today’s cynical superhero flicks. You watch Flynn command the screen and it’s just effortless. There isn't any of that over-polished, CGI-heavy nonsense we get pumped into our brains now—just real stunts, real sets, and a story that actually knows where it's going. It’s like comparing a perfectly seared steak at a local diner to some overpriced, chemically-enhanced molecular gastronomy mess you’d find in a trendy LA bistro. One actually satisfies you, while the other is just trying too hard to look important. Honestly, sometimes I think we spend way too much time looking for "depth" in movies when all we really need is a damn good story told by people who actually know how to act. This film doesn't apologize for being an adventure, and frankly, that’s exactly why it still works. Maybe then you'll actually notice the difference in quality. 👍

Honestly, who cares what rating you gave it? It’s not like you’re the sole judge of cinematic greatness or the ultimate authority on what makes a movie good.
I’ve seen both versions multiple times myself, and the '91 one is better (just like most people here think). Calling a movie total garbage just for the sake of being contrarian to everyone else is, frankly, pretty immature.

And get this... it even says he was assaulting men!!! Like, what kind of robbery is that even?!

Look, there isn't a shred of actual evidence that Robin Hood ever even existed. It's all just tall tales and bedtime stories for kids.
