scifi channel - why is THIS on tonight?

I must be missing something here, but the scifi channel are showing 'robin hood- prince of thieves' tonight at 10pm. Can someone tell me where the 'sci' or even the 'fright' is in a film like this?. Perhaps this is a previously unseen version, with a UFO landing in Sherwood forest

Sci-Fi and Fantasy so....
It's probably calling upon the fantasy that Robin Hood had an American accent.

Actually there was a terrible Robin Hood series called The New Adventures of Robin Hood which this is the synopsis of one episode called "Dragon from the Sky" Marion sees a giant fireball fall from the sky into Sherwood Forest, and rushes off in search of what it has brought. When she reaches the site, she discovers a strange, diamond-encrusted creature. She befriends him, and tries to help him discover what he needs to return home. Lady Claudia has also seen the fireball and sends Barkley to follow its path, and gather the untold riches that she believes it is supposed to provide. When Marion does not return to camp, Robin sets out to find her. Then he and Marion must fight to save the creature from the grasp of Lady Claudia's men, and help it return to its ship.
