The facts page has a note on the sound of the arrow swishing being used.
Obviously, the sword play.
I noticed, watching the scene where Robin is about to be freed from the gallows, this scene was mirrored in ROTJ when Luke was about to be dropped into the pit.

Definitely an influence for that scene, there's no doubt about it.
The scene in The Empire Strikes Back when Luke Skywalker fires a grapple gun up into an Imperial Walker from below and then goes rocketing up into the sky to the bottom of the AT-AT is nearly a parallel to the scene in this movie when Robin Hood cuts the rope holding open the portcullis and goes shooting up the rope to the top of the castle.
Marian and Robin and their interaction at the beginning appear to be an influence on Leia and Han.
