Has the Legend of Robin Hood Been the Most Filmed Story?
Has any other subject had more movies, adaptations, or TV shows than the singular subject of Robin Hood?
Not including Robin Hood type stories, westerns, gangster, etc. that follow the steal from rich, give to the poor outline.

Sherlock Holmes holds the record, literally.

"...However, Sherlock is not the overall most portrayed literary character in film. That title belongs to the non-human character Dracula, who has been portrayed in 272 films...."

Interesting, from your source!
So Robin Hood may not be the top one or even close?

I know there's seven versions of "The Four Feathers".

(That's all I got)

Aren't there a million versions of Romeo and Juliet?

My daughter seems to find a new version of Cinderella about every week. Heck there's even a Cinderella Story starring Hilary Duff.

"Hamlet" has many, especially if you include The Lion King, and Sons of Anarchy as adaptations.

I vote Wyatt Earp and the Gunfight at the OK Corral. Then again, how many movies have been made about Frank and Jesse James.

If you include parody versions it would probably be Beau Geste.
