49. Sheriff Nottingham’s Outfit

Also Appears In: Braveheart
Estimated Savings: $100-$300*

Alan Rickman always stood out, no matter what movie he was in. The late, great actor was amazing as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. The ill-received film got a lot of criticism, but Rickman’s turn as the famous villain was universally praised. He wore a beaded set black armor that gave off serious sinister vibes.

The black armor would later be spotted in Braveheart. It wasn’t worn on one of the main actors, like Mel Gibson or Patrick McGoohan. Instead, it was on the back of a random extra in the movie, as producers probably wanted to save a few hundred bucks on another set of armor.
