Tliey just didn't have the special effects budget back then. Nor did he pick himself up, fire an arrow at a nearby rope to release a huge weight that swung from the ceiling to knock one orc flying into a bottomless chasm, then duck underneath the weight on its return swing (just before it slammed the second orc into a brick wall), pull out a sword, turn on his internal adrenalin mode, and neatly cleave the third greenskin's head from his shoulders in a cascade of dark red blood. To my knowledge however, and again grandparental advice can be gained on the matter, Flynn was never picked up by the neck by an orc, thrown into a rack of barrels and made to stare up through his prostrate legs at three screaming fantasy beasts. I mention this because, however he looked, Dark Messiah makes you feel just like Errol Flynn: it buckles swash like nobody's business. What I'm certain of however, and I'll check with my gran if any objections are raised, is that he spent a large proportion of his time waving a sword on spiral staircases, slashing ropes connected to precarious chandeliers and shouting "Aha!" after every deft manoeuvre. Perhaps a jaunty green triangular hat as well. Although I'm pretty sure he had a twirly moustache. To Be Honest, I don't really know what Errol Flynn looked like.
