Russell Crowe's Crusader Knight costume from Robin Hood...

In 13th century England the 2010 movie Robin Hood tells the story of before the infamous archer became the outlaw of Sherwood Forest with his Merry Men. Russell Crowe plays the titular 'Robin Longstride' and starts the movie as a common archer serving in Richard the Lionheart's army as a veteran of the Crusades.

Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone and Jamie Chung all wear these Michael Wilkinson creations and use these weapon props in the fantasy worlds in the movie.

This is what these kick-ass girls wear when they are fighting demon samurai in a Japanese snowscape or clockwork steam-powered zombies in the trenches of World War London, to orcs and dragons in medieval castles and futuristic robots in far off worlds.

These original outfits may be missing a few belts, straps, buckles, weapons and armour, but they are still so impressive to see up close and I imagine they'll be popular Halloween and Cosplay costumes in the future.
